The Bajaj V's key selling point is its connection with the INS Vikrant. The motorcycle's tank is built from metal of the India's first indigenously-built aircraft carrier which was decommissioned in 1997 after 36 years of service. The premium commuter is powered by the 149.5 cc DTS-i single-cylinder air-cooled engine that produces 12 PS (11.83 hp) and 13 Nm of torque and sends drive to the wheel via a 5-speed transmission.
