All three models share the same 471 cc, parallel-twin DOHC engine that produces 37 kW at 8,500 rpm and 45 Nm of torque at 6,500 rpm. The mill is mated to a six-speed transmission which delivers the output through an assist/slipper clutch.
Additionally, the engine also receives revised inlet, exhaust and valve timing which result in 4% more mid-range power and torque.
