                  A perfect combination of speed and distance.....
                  Nothing special only for looks. This bikes comes in a decent adventures looks which attracted my for have a test drive and after the ride I was sure that I should go for this bike. Because it fulfilled my needs. I made a ride 164 km that is the widest rage I ran this bike and if you ask the experience is quite good and decent. In shorts I love this bike speed because even in high air flow area this bike stands with smooth bike. I am recommending this bike because this bike easy to handle and performs really good and also gives a smooth experience. For a rider this is necessary that bike should give a smooth texture and no pain while riding. And this comes under all my expertise. So that's it.

                  Not too exciting bit no complains
                  It was easy and good so far I am satisfied sometimes I am just worried if something gets wrong while i am riding in between cities what will happen as ultraviolet service centers are not every where and no one touches electric bikes and will ultraviolet provide on road assistance. Apart from that so far I have had no complaints.

                  Value and specifications
                  Superb bike with a great value brings top speed of 120km/h with it. Worth to buy. It is a good choice in mountain bikes but the thing is charging in remote areas. But according to price and specifications it fits its standards. Most of the rally bikes are expensive and have less mileage. I am gonna buy this!

                  Aura the bike.
                  Its totally awesome and gives luxury vibes and whenever i ride it i feel like all eyes are on me infact on my shockwave. Definitely worth buying and worth spending every single rupee on it. Safety is 10/10 and the experience is totally unbelievable plus the black colour makes it look more premium i'm so happy

                  मुझे डेली आने जाने के लिए बेस्ट बाइक लगा
                  लंबे सफर के लिए बेस्ट है और पावर अच्छा मिलता हैं, कम बजट में 160 का इंजन है और क्या चाहिए, बढ़िया है भाई मेंटेनेंस का खर्चा कम, कही भी स्पीयर पार्ट मिल जाता है, कंफर्ट बढ़िया है, कीमत अच्छी है, दूसरे 160cc मुकाबले होंडा यूनिकॉर्न सस्ती है, कोई भी खरीद सकते है, फैमिली के लिए बेस्ट बाइक है, कोलिटी बेस्ट है।

                  The Value of the Durability and features & efforts
                  The unicorn bike was famous with the smooth touch and good performance, the mileage was good in the city area and also good for long ride in the highway, comfort and sitting is best for long ride. The bike is really comfortable. My long trip with my best bike that is unicorn 160 cc around 1350 km, on road the performance is good, mileage increased with around 50 to 55 km per litre and pickup of the bike is to much wow with great features. I have been riding the Unicorn Honda bike for a long time. I love its comfortable ride accross the long drive or india tour, seating, mileage is good, smooth and performance with low cost maintainance.
