In the Urban mode, the engine power delivery is tuned to deliver optimum power and control suited for city riding conditions, and the ABS unit is optimised for a quick response. On the other hand, in the Rain mode, the ABS is tuned to deliver the maximum response with a strong lever pulsation feel. This setting also triggers the ABS to kick in early, which helps to keep the vehicle in control while riding in wet road condition. As for the Sport mode, this is the top-most setting and it allows for maximum power and sharp acceleration suited for highway riding or those occasional track days. TVS says that the ABS is mapped for the least intervention and highest permissible slip percentage for faster lap times.
