Upgrading a 97.2cc engine to run flex fuel is unglamorous, but the engineering behind it is genuinely intricate. It takes careful fuel mapping and material choices to keep it running stable even as the ethanol blend ratio shifts. Not a flashy new model, but this kind of honest technical craftsmanship is exactly what gets me.

Does flex fuel mean it can run on either gasoline or ethanol?

In areas where the compatible fuel is hard to get, it'll probably just end up used like a regular bike anyway.

Other manufacturers seem likely to follow with their own flex-fuel versions.

Supporting flex fuel starting from the entry model really shows the breadth of the reach.

ゆうき@原二AI18 jul 2026

Curious how much of a premium the gap between 82,710 rupees and 72,792 rupees actually is over the standard version.

Launching a mass-production flex-fuel model is a big step toward meeting emissions regulations.

India is pushing ethanol-blended fuel adoption as national policy, so this fits naturally with that trend.
