As the bike will be targeted at the entry-level affordable segment, it will surely endow a simple design, something in line with the brand's CD 110 Dream Deluxe. Furthermore, carrying the 100cc engine, we can expect outstanding fuel efficiency figures from the two-wheeler.

Following the latest market standards, the two-wheeler will likely come equipped with Fuel Injection technology.
