                  • Strong, exciting top-end performance and engaging engine character
                  • More comfortable ergonomics than the R15 for everyday riding

                • Hero Xoom 160

                  • Lacks a traditional floorboard, limiting front storage & foot space
                  • Wide seat might make it difficult for shorter riders to plant their feet firmly on the ground

                  Yamaha YZF-R2

                  • Engine feels flat below 6,000rpm, requiring frequent downshifts for quick overtakes
                  • R15 remains sharper and more agile in tight corners
                  • No exceptional headline features like TPMS, cornering ABS or lean-sensitive traction control
                  • Rs 50,000-plus premium over the R15 may be difficult to justify for some buyers

                  Winner from Hero!
                  Absolutely the best in its segment. Feels like you are riding a bike. Much better than Aerox in terms of riding posture, comfort and overall performance. Some minor quirks like a dated instrument cluster, unimaginative glove box, limited storage etc. Engine performance and acceleration is nice - Aerox is tad faster. Go for Xoom 160 without a doubt!

                  Major Hit with some Flaws
                  I chose this bike as I wanted an upgraded version, bigger tyre size, better power, and with an ABS, good suspension and a bit of off-roading as Mumbai roads are pathetic . So no other bike in the market offers these things aerox is there but it has a harder suspension that is tough on shoulders positive ride , for someone who uses the scooter for daily commute this is a major upgrade than most of the scooters available in the market. The pickup is good , braking is amazing , the handling is a bit hard, it is just the engine sound that is a bit off Yes I would recommend this bike to anyone who uses Burgman scooters in that segment if they are looking for an upgraded version. Every scooter has its ups and downs but here the ups are more and it is the most practical choice in the Indian market.
