The least in its class, LML had better start making revisions here.
  
Covering over 300km on a single day with varying road conditions was the ideal means to get the actual efficiency figures in addition to the measured tests. So after NCAT, we headed off to Panshet dam, 50km from Pune city. At the end of the day, the Adreno FX returned a best figure of 64kmpl and the worst she managed was 48km to the litre. The Energy FX returned a best 64km to the litre, at worst she managed 46kmpl. The large fuel tanks accommodate 14 litres which should give an operating range of 784kmpl and 742kmpl respectively. The broad tyre at the rear which increases rolling resistance, the drag inducing front fairing of the Adreno, the high kerb weights of the bikes compared to others in its class, all add up to the lower efficiency figures. The torquey nature of the bikes with its cruising capabilities in higher gears does nothing to increase efficiency figures. When we replaced the 100/90x18" rear tyre of the older Energy with smaller 3.00x18 MRF rubber, the mileage increased by about 10 per cent without compromise on handling or Performance. We will do the same with the new bikes.
