The new engine is a liquid-cooled, 700cc, 4-stroke, in-line, 2-cylinder. Fuel economy has exceeded 27km/L,(l), by utilising higher-combustion efficiency and lower friction technologies including resin coating the pistons, an aluminium rocker arm, uneven-firing intervals and a branch intake port inside the cylinder head with only one intake channel for two cylinders.
