. The bike is capable of a top speed of around 91 km/h and does 0–60 km/h in 7.2 seconds. In city traffic the bike returns 62 kmpl.
The best part is, you can make or redesign the engine to any of your needs. I have had tuned it for 100cc races, and I really did break the Company record of 91kmh. The bike can actually reach a speed of 96kmh (Tested and devoid of errors).
I till recent times, tuned it for a skid type. Outfitted it with new advanced MIG Absorbers, Reduced weight of the passenger foot rest and remodeled the tyres.
