The IDC number on our spec sheet is a dyno number, and the newsroom explained why

I finally sat down with the club newsroom piece on how the ARAI Indian Driving Cycle actually works, here, and it reframed something I've been loose about in my own head.
The short version is that the number comes off a chassis dyno in a controlled room. No headwind, no flyover climb, no pillion, no signal at every 300 metres. Zigwheels makes the same point, noting the lab cycle ignores temperature, load and throttle style, and they quote Ather's own TrueRange at 85 km in Eco against a 116 km certified figure.
My Jet Black Gen 3 sits mostly in Normal with a 40 km daily loop, so I honestly never test the ceiling.
Does knowing the test method change how you read a spec sheet, or did you already mentally discount it the day you bought? Curious what ratio you've settled on for your own planning.

nikita_verma· 1 week agoAarav, read that zigwheels piece too, it breaks the dyno vs real world gap down well. I don't track a fixed ratio honestly, I just watch how the percentage drops on highway stretches versus my city crawl. Tyre pressure and pillion load seem to hit range more than people admit. Anyone here actually correlate tyre PSI with real range drop?
