Overall a good bike on this price
Handling is very good,it's comfortable riding position, decent power delivery,and good handling for a sporty-touring style bike actually it has a aggressive and primium look. The 210 cc engine provides enough power for most riding situations with a smooth torque curve. Some of concerns- slightly vibration is a noticeable at mid range, rearview mirror view is not good,also paint quality is not good. Suspension is a bit soft on rough road, especially on higher speed. Overall Go for it good value for money product.

Comfort and safety
"This bike is ideal for riders looking for a race-ready, budget-friendly road bike that doesn’t compromise on performance. While it may not be as light as a full-carbon model, its stiffness and aerodynamics make it a strong contender for both training and racing.exclent and more power genrater torque is high
