Higher variants receive a larger 5-inch TFT display with connected features, along with three riding modes — Rain, Road and Sport. These versions also get LED turn indicators and hazard lights.
The top-spec variant further gets an Integrated Starter Generator (ISG) system, which is designed to provide smoother engine starts and improved refinement.
