The new FZ 250 will finally be launched in India tomorrow, marking the company’s entry in this growing segment.
The FZ250 will be powered by a 249cc, single-cylinder FI engine which delivers around 20hp of power and 20Nm of torque and complies with BSIV emission norms. The motorcycle will get Bybre sourced disc brakes at the front and rear with ABS as standard. Along with this, the motorcycle gets a LED headlamp setup with AHO ( Automatic Headlamps ON) functionality.
