wheels, a 220 mm front disc brake, performance tyres, and sporty body graphics.
The scooter will be offered in two colors – white and black.
According to PVPL, the scooter segment
in India is one of the largest in the world, with nearly five million units
sold in 2015 and a growth of 20 percent in the first half of 2016 compared to
the same period last year.
