In terms of designing, the naked motorcycle is manufactured on the Delta-box frame whereby the bike gives a better stability power. It is also featured with similar exhaust. Test mule is loaded with upside down suspensions at front side, a new designed headlight. It is incorporated with a bulky fuel tank, which gives a stunning look. The motorcycle comes with a comfortable riding position as it is featured with a lengthy handlebar. In spy image, the instrument cluster and outer cluster are not clearly visible.

Mechanically, as per the reports, the test mule is inspired by Yamaha's R15 motorcycle as we can expect that the bike is powered by a single-cylinder and 150cc engine that churns out the claimed power of 16 BHP and a paramount torque of 15 Nm. The motor is coupled with a six speed transmission.

There are high probability that we can see this bike at the 2016 Auto Expo event. When, the bike will be launched, it will compete against the Bajaj Pulsar NS 200 and upcoming TVS Apache 200.
