      Great dirt bike.
      Smooth and agile. Definitely worth the cost. However the maintenance cost is high, but given that it’s a dirt bike meant for performance it is worth it. Very light weight which even makes it easier to manoeuvre and the slimmer frame doesn’t let you feel the height of the bike. Has total efficiency. Definitely a must have for mx racers or dirt bike enthusiasts.

      KLX is a versatile off-road
      KLX is a versatile off-road machine , Like its competitors, the KLX230R S dirt bike was made for casual riders who prefer lightweight, compact, and reasonable machines. Its single-cylinder engine delivers 20 horsepower of smooth, predictable output, ideal for beginners and seasoned riders alike. Coupled with a 6-speed transmission, shifting becomes effortless regardless of the environment. It's not only the engine that makes the Kawasaki stand out. Shorter riders will appreciate the adjustable seat height which offers more maneuverability on tricky trails. Luckily, suspension performance does not take a hit with the adjusted seat height. Despite standing out in numerous areas, Kawasaki did not compromise on the STD S features as well. the KLX230R extremely easy to control on tight trails. Alongside the lightweight chassis, equally tuned suspension further improves maneuverability through woods and single tracks. Effortless steering is paired with equally dependable brakes in the form of a 213mm front disc and a 186mm rear disc which prevent control from being lost when rapid cuts are made. The build quality is impressive and there is little need for upkeep, which makes it a plus for beginner riders.

      New Suzuki V storm SX 250
      Suzuki Vstorm is a bike with totally different looks it’s a Sports tourer or simply an ADV, comfortable for both city as well as long rides, the power delivery is extremely well just a push of throttle and you are flying away from the traffic, the seat is comfortable and does not hurt your back as the seating position is straight and little bit committed and have a space enough to move around comfortably to find the best seating position, while riding you are sitting very high and feels like driving an SUV of Bike, the suspension is neither too soft nor hard and adjustable and absorbs most of the shocks saving your back, both the rear tyre and front are very broad to give you complete control while riding on bad roads and ABS is a cherry in top. Overall a very nice bike which you can run day and night and will not you ask anything more from you as the maintenance is also not very high.
