                        Good bike for youngsters
                        Good handling and medium breaking, medium performance for short time city and highway riding, good sharp stylish looking naked bike, good road presence, low service charge with medium mileage 30 to 40 kmpl. Long ride comfort is not good after 100km. Wrist pain and shoulder pain, good handling bike. It's give you confidence to flicker very easily. Front break is good stopping power but too much abs kicking problem, rear brake is not good, no stopping power. Top speed after 2nd service 124 highest, mileage not that good 40 km after simple riding. If you ride aggressively, mileage can drop upto 30-25 kmpl. Can recommend this bike to the youngsters who go to college and those who want to explore many places on bike. Short time riding and some time aggressive riding and those who want naked sports bike in low cc and low service charge bike, this is good for them.

                        My pulsar NS 160 is still in excellent condition with all documents and riding experience is awesome and bike is also fast and reliable. It also offers dual channel Abs and it has less maintenance cost and it gives immense pleasure to ride. Bike mileage is about 40 kmpl and full tank costs nearly 1k only and this is the best bike, I have ever rode in my life.

                        good bike but need some improvements.
                        The bike is good handling and performance but the mileage is not that good, it gives me 30-35 kmpl mileage. Meanwhile, the other 160 segment bikes give more mileage and it's not that smooth at higher revs, feels too much vibration. Design is good and handling is good but not so comfortable feels pain in back and shoulder after long ride as it's sports bike.

                        Review of my 6 years old NS160
                        I got this bike when i was 18 back in 2019, after almost 6 plus years and 30 thousand kilometres. I personally see this bike as the best value for money one can get. Apart from that this bike is still relevant after all these years. The one thing i like the most about this vehicle is its handling. If maintained well this bike gives a smooth and comfortable ride be it in city or highway. Mine is twin disc variant with single channel ABS, break bite is quick enough to react in emergency breaking situations. The only con I have noticed so far is bajaj's parts durability. Though they offer parts at cheaper rates comparatively but still it becomes a headache when you need to replace them more often. Will recommend this bike any day. For me this is a perfect package of commuter, adventure, long riding basically everything. I have done 500 kms in a single day stopped at every 100 kms for nearly 30 mins and the bike performed very well. This is a perfect bike for those who look for a all-rounder bike with low maintenance.

                        Bike is so good with comfortable ride, nice looks and good performance with mileage, good for long drive the suspension are good.Thanks to the hero company for launching this bike. Only the thing is the rate of the bike should be between 1.45 lakhs to 1.50 lakhs. Otherwise rest all the features are good.

                        suspension no words its great, offroad king take it on any hills or any rough terrain it wont disappoint you, looks wise great its mini Himalayan, touring capable. Comfort wise need upgrade in seat, mileage depends on how you ride city 35km highway 50km. Weight capacity is compromised. Head light is not that good.

                        Mado for Comfort and to go anywhere-X pulse 210
                        I chose this bike mainly because I needed something that is comfortable in the city and on highways good for long rides and capable off road as well This was the only bike that came to my mind that met all those requirements I heard a lot of positive feedback from my friends who own the Xpulse 200 especially about the dual channel ABS and improved power and torque Considering my budget and needs it felt like the best bike I could ask for and it checked every box for me So far I have completed 8000 km on my bike and got it serviced at 6000 km which was the second service When it comes to comfort I honestly have no words I am 5 10 height and weigh 63 kg and for me this bike is extremely comfortable I have ridden it for 100 to 150 km without taking a break and barely felt tired The suspension works very well and the power features and torque are very satisfying Before the second service I faced a few issues like relay damage side stand sensor failure and air filter damage Since the bike was new the service station initially found it difficult to fix the problems but after some effort everything was resolved and the bike has been running great since then If you are looking for a bike that rides well in city highway and off road conditions this can be a good option you should be aware that the bike does have some issues and may need extra care This bike is more suitable for taller riders with a height above 5 7 It is a good choice for riders who want one bike that can do many things at a reasonable price If your main focus is only adventure riding then there are other bikes available in the same price range

                        Xpulse 210 is a package of everything within 2 L
                        Light weight and good ergonomics. Also the bike looks superb in real and gains attraction from everyone.Comfort is also top notch.I dont feel bumpers because of its big comfy suspensions. Very stylish and has a good road presence too Handling is very good.Those who doubt that handing it is difficult( because of its high seat height) they are wrong because after you start riding it, you will feel very light and you can ride it with ease. Mileage is also good, you will get around 35-40 kmpl. Seat comfort is also good. In short it is superb for both good and bad roads Anyone, can buy this bike.Even if you are not a off road guy, you will love it in cities too because anyways you will get bumpers, speed breakers and potholes. The bike is very stylish as well as its performance is also good.

                        Xpulse 210 - A true budget off-roader!
                        Initially thought of not buying this bike but I bought it because it was in my budget. I was planning to buy vstorm. But this xpulse suspension impressed me really well when took the test ride. Bike suspension is really goodddd. Well, engine makes different kind of noise after a certain kilometres of riding, and makes so much of heat that it can burn out legs. Apart from this issue, there's another issue which is slight oil leakage from oil filter. One more issue I faced was fuel gauge doesn't show the correct values. Coming to the good part bike is really good, you can pay the money just for the suspension. Easy to handle, easy to ride, considering the budget this bike is really good for new guys. I would definitely suggest this bike to someone who's new to buying bike, who don't have good budget. Yeah, if you want to experience real off-road go for this bike. Also remember this bike comes with a lot of problems with some good advantages as well.

                        Best bike in this budget segment
                        Best bike for low budget and adventure , if someone is looking a adventure bike and his budget is around 2.5 lacks then this bike may be the best option. Because one of my reason is mileage. It gives almost 30 to 35 km which is the maximum for a adventure bike in this budget. So If you are looking like these segment then this is best option in my opinion.

                        Best of entry level adv motorcycle
                        From ride height till ride endurance for a entry level it is a good and ideal motorcycle in the segment. Comparison with similar segment motorcycle I have never seen any other motorcycle to provide a ease of ride . At the end we can conclude that we have number of brands offering similar segment motorcycle but for me Adventure by Yezdi will be a good pick.
