The Spirit of Defiance

The L700 Defiance isn’t just a naked sport machine — it’s a declaration.  

Born from precision engineering and wrapped in Tang Sword–inspired aggression, it fuses raw inline-four fury with modern rider tech, delivering a ride that’s as sharp in performance as it is in presence.

Powerplant: The Heart of the Beast

680cc Inline-Four — The First of Its Kind in Its Class

- Configuration: Liquid-cooled, DOHC, inline-four — a rarity in the midweight naked segment, delivering the smoothness and scream of a supersport with the torque spread of a streetfighter.  

- Output: 92.5 hp @ 11,000 rpm — engineered for high-rev exhilaration without sacrificing midrange punch.  

- Special Character:  

  - High-rev ceiling for that spine-tingling top-end rush.  

  - Even firing order for buttery smooth delivery.  

  - Sport-cruiser hybrid tuning — equally at home carving canyons or devouring highway miles.  

- Transmission & Control:  

  - Slipper clutch — aggressive downshifts without rear wheel hop.  

  - 6-speed gearbox with close ratios for relentless acceleration.  

 

 

Why It’s Special?

  - Most bikes in this displacement range opt for twins or triples; the Defiance’s inline-four is a statement of refinement and performance heritage.  

  - Balances Japanese-style smoothness with European-style chassis aggression.

Chassis & Dynamics

- Frame: Rigid yet lightweight steel trellis for precise handling feedback.  

- Wheelbase: 1460 mm — stable at speed, agile in the twisties.  

- Weight: 217 kg — balanced for both flickability and planted high-speed stability.  

- Suspension: Sport-tuned front and rear for responsive cornering.  

- Braking:  

  - Dual front discs + single rear disc.  

  - ABS front and rear for controlled stops in all conditions.  

  - Traction Control System (TCS) for confidence in wet or loose surfaces.

Rider Interface & Tech

- TFT Display: Full-color, high-contrast, delivering speed, revs, gear position, fuel, and trip data at a glance.  

- Lighting:  

  - Full LED system — headlamp, tail, and indicators for maximum visibility.  

  - Aggressive DRL signature for instant recognition.  

- Safety & Convenience:  

  - Side-stand cut-off switch.  

  - Integrated electronics suite for stability and control.

Rolling Stock

- Wheels: 17-inch alloy rims for strength and reduced unsprung weight.  

- Tires:  

  - Front: 120/70 — quick turn-in without sacrificing grip.  

  - Rear: 180/50 — wide footprint for stability and corner drive.

 

 

The Defiance Ethos

The L700 Defiance is more than a motorcycle — it’s a midweight revolution.  

It refuses to compromise:  

- Supersport soul in a streetfighter’s stance.  

- Touring composure with track-day DNA.  

- Cultural artistry fused with mechanical precision.
