The Spec'd take

Why it stands out

  • Modern liquid-cooled PowerPlus 112 (1834cc) platform with genuinely useful electronics: Ride Command touchscreen, ride modes and cruise control
  • Best-equipped bagger in the range for the money
  • Dark Horse is the most affordable trim, not the priciest, despite its name

Worth knowing

  • Claimed mileage of 13.54 km/l is the lowest of any model in the whole India lineup
  • Indian publishes no prices in India; the figures shown are its June 2025 list prices, so expect dealer quotes to be higher after the September 2025 GST rise on bikes above 350cc
  • Heavy at 382 kg with a full tank, so low-speed manoeuvring takes care
