Exclusive colors and features
The Plaza Edition comes in Pearl Sand Khaki and Pearl Storm Gray. The SE variant offers dual-tone colors like Metallic Flat Spark Black/Metallic Matte Dark Green and Phantom Blue/Ebony. Both the Plaza Edition and SE models include a Type-C charging port on the handlebar and a GPS-compatible dual-channel dash camera system. However, only the SE version features a new headlight cowl and dual-tone colors.
Engine
What about performance?
All three Eliminator 400 models share the same trellis frame, wheel setup, tires, and other components. The 399cc, parallel twin-cylinder, DOHC, 4V liquid-cooled engine, generating 48hp/37Nm, paired with a 6-speed gearbox, remains unchanged. The motorcycle gets disc brakes on both wheels, telescopic front forks, and twin shock absorbers on the rear end. It stores 12 liters of fuel and weighs 176kg.
Price
What about its pricing?
These updates are anticipated to reach the Indian market too. The revised Eliminator 400 will surely carry a premium over its predecessor, which is priced at Rs. 5.62 lakh (ex-showroom).
