This technology works by reducing friction and providing the bike with a smooth eco-friendly ride using an ACG starter. Unlike a conventional starter motor, ACG starts the engine in a jolt-free manner, thus, there is no gear meshing noises. Apart from this, the bike also gets a new PGM-FI (Programmed Fuel Injection) system to improve the overall fuel efficiency of the vehicle by almost 16%. This new 124cc 4-stroke engine is capable of producing about 10.7 HP at 7,500 rpm and 10.9 Nm of peak torque at 6,000 rpm. Also, this engine is now paired with a 5-speed gearbox.
