• First bike in India to employ a large 37 mm front fork for class leading vehicle dynamics
• First...India to employ a non-contact digital speedo drive for accuracy, simplicity and long life
• First...India to use clip-on handlebars
• First...India to use a unique damping method for damping high frequency vibrations in clip-on handlebars (patent applied for)
• First...India to employ a pure sports riding position [don't agree. Thought the bars could have been still lower and more sporty. Great position for fast touring, though]
• First…India to incorporate a pinch clamp for front axle
  • Ensures smooth parallel fork sliding action for lower fork stiction
  • The usual method can force the legs to flex the tubes due to non-parallelism – high stiction

• First…India to employ a high wattage (H7, 55W) compact clear lens parabolic lamp for white light high beam illumination
• First…India to employ white light pilot lamp bulbs
• First…India to employ a large free form orange backlit LCD speedo panel, displaying among other things the vehicle speed [accurate to within 2 kph], odometer, 2 tripmeters, graphic fuel level indicator and other information icons [diagnostics: air filter choked, oil temperature, battery voltage and oil level]
• First…India to employ a stepper motor driven tachometer needle for quick undamped response
• First…India to incorporate a flashing over-rev warning light in the speedo console
• First…India to have an electronic speedo console which when keyed on goes through a self-diagnostic check
• First…India which incorporates a flashing warning light for low fuel level
• First…India to incorporate a day-night mode for the speedo console. In day mode, the indicating lights are brighter for clear visibility in ambient sunlight. In night mode, these lights reduce their brightness to prevent glare
• First…India to employ a battery-saving function to automatically switch off headlamps while cranking
• First…India to employ a battery-saving function to automaticallyregulates the number of continuous cranks
• First…India equipped with a high-capacity O ring chain for final drive – smooth operation and long life in harsh operating conditions
• First…India employing elliptical section swingarm on needle roller pivot bearings
• First…India to incorporate sculpted, compact, fairing mounted rear view mirrors
• First…India with sporty, sculpted two-piece grab rail for sleek big bike looks
• First…India with a split seat design for easy access to tool kit and first-aid kit
• First…India to sport ‘twin slash’ high intensity LED clear lens tail lamp, requiring zero maintenance
