Built on a new lightweight trellis frame, the Eliminator's silhouette resembles older motorcycle designs, resulting in a relatively low seat height of 734 mm for better accessibility for shorter riders. The suspension comprises a 41-mm telescopic fork at the front and a twin-shock setup at the rear. Braking duties are managed by a 310-mm semi-floating disc at the front and a 220-mm disc at the rear. Keeping with the habitual long and low design, the Eliminator comes with 18-inch front and 16-inch rear 10-spoke alloy wheels. The tyre profile measures 130/70-18 up front and 150/80-16 at the rear.

 

In terms of its powertrain, the Eliminator houses a powertrain derived from the Z400, a 399 cc parallel-twin unit modified to achieve a 451 cc displacement by increasing the stroke length by 6.8mm. This motor produces 44 bhp at 9000 rpm and 46 Nm of peak torque at 6000 rpm. The engine is coupled to a 6-speed transmission and an assist-and-slipper clutch.

 

In the Indian market, the Eliminator competes with rivals such as the Royal Enfield Shotgun 650 and also the Harley-Davidson X440 in terms of displacement.
