                  awesome 👍
                  Upgrade jabadast hai lekin 18.5 power hone ke bawjud 5 gear hi hai, kam se kam 6 gear dena chahiye tha bajaj walon ko. Chalate samay 6th gear ki kami mahsoos hoti hai. 6th gear hota to chalane me or bhi maja aata. Top speed bhi kam hai. 6th gear hota to aaram se 140-145 top speed hoti. Baki sab thik hai.

                  Best bike in this segment
                  Maine N160 SS isliye chuni kyunki power aur mileage ka balance mast hai. 160cc engine city me smooth aur long ride me bhi bore nahi karti. ABS, digital meter aur wo aggressive styling, paise wasool lagti hai. Mere hisaab se N160 SS ab tak ekdum jhakaas hai. City me halki, traffic me easy. Highway pe 90-100 pe bhi stability solid hai. Seat comfortable, mileage 44 mil rahi. Bas initial gear thoda tight hai, baaki sab mast. Ye bike to mai jarur recommend karunga. Roz ke kaam or kabhi long ride dono ke liye N160 SS best hai. Look premium, mileage 45, aur maintenance bhi kam hai. Agar 1.6 lac me sporty practical bike chahiye to aankh band karke le lo.
