Other significant features include electric-start and front disc-brake. With its 10.6PS engine, sporty styling, long feature-list and a price of approximately Rs. 45,000 ex-showroom it will be a very compelling alternative to all lesser performing and conservatively styled 100cc motorcycles in the value segment.
