A weight reduction brings the power-to-weight ratio to an impressive 1:15 hp/kg, enhancing acceleration and handling. The advanced electronics suite includes multiple riding modes, traction control, wheelie control, and cornering ABS, ensuring both performance and safety.
The V4 S variant offers additional premium features like Öhlins Smart EC 2.0 suspension for improved damping and a lighter lithium-ion battery.
Competitors in the Indian Market
