🏍️ Variant Value Analysis
- Base RM (₹1.19 lakh): No ABS, only front disc — less recommended.
- Single Channel ABS (₹1.25 lakh): Best for city riders; ABS worth the ₹6k premium.
- Dual Channel ABS + USD (₹1.31 lakh): Balanced choice; better braking and front-end feel.
- USD + TFT (₹1.38 lakh): Adds connected TFT display; projector headlight, LED setup, and slipper clutch included. Extra ₹7k mainly for connectivity/navigation — optional if not needed.
👉 In short: The Dual Channel ABS with USD variant offers the most balanced package for most buyers, while the TFT top trim is only worth it if you value Bluetooth connectivity and navigation.
