The biggest change is the addition of a 240mm front disc brake, replacing the drum brake offered on the standard version. The rear continues with a drum brake supported by the Integrated Braking System (IBS).
The motorcycle rides on telescopic front forks and twin rear shock absorbers. Alloy wheels and tubeless tyres continue without any changes.

Buyers who were planning to purchase the Passion+ now have another option. The new Disc variant adds better braking along with a digital console and a few useful everyday features, while retaining the same trusted engine and claimed fuel efficiency. For daily commuting, these updates make the new variant a more practical choice.
