Good Things
- The engine has a strong mid range punch and that makes it quite exciting in the city
- Sporty handling makes it a lot of fun in the city and out on the highway ... Read More
- The analogue console in the base and mid variants looks gorgeous and there’s nothing like it in this segment
Could Be Better
- Owners have often reported rusting, paint peeling and parts loosening out over a period of time even with the new Jawas
- Spoke wheels in the base variant look gorgeous but have tube tyres, which could make dealing with punctures quite a hassle

- It was a quite good ExperienceThe bike offers a great riding experience, it's comfortable to ride, and has good mileage.

- My Two wheelerFeels like a car in long rides. Mileage is around 30 in long rides. Power is awesome but not like sports bike. I have enjoyed the ride for more than 2 years. Its heavy, stable, very comfortable in long rides. My first bike and a powerful one. This bike attracts people. People will stop by and ask how much does it cost.Read More5
- Style meets speedIt does provides stylish look along with the two silencers and after removing the db killers the sound is just so bassy and thumping which one can feel as majority of the customers remove it and it doesnt impact the engine as per the company and secondary it provides amazing suspension along with smooth gear change in highway or cities along with low vibration and highend speed of massive 145kmph which is more than its competitors offering 300 or 350CC and it feel unique when you take it out and majority of peoples ask about its features and other things about it and praise it I personally felt the look and performance which this bike gives is unmatched as it is quick and easy to handle both two in one I have been riding this bike since a long time now for more than approx 3 years and I definitely feel that the performance or the power it provides is unmatched as I have been taking it to Himachal Sunday Rides and even to places like manali atal tunnel chandartaal lake and kaza with my riding group and they tell me its amazing as they rode it too providing comfort and safety and talking about the city rides sometimes it becomes a little hectic to carry around as the engine gets heated too much in summers not much in winters but summers time is not easy to carry this bike around in cities I would definitely recommend this bike to a specific group of people who are looking or interested more in performance over the mileage as both things cant be combined in a single bike where best performance and best mileage is provided It provides decent mileage in cities of around 23 to 26kmpl and around 30 to 35kmpl in highways or mountains depending upon the riding style and slopes In cities sometimes it becomes difficult to carry around because of the heating issue but it is not unbearable so it can be managed accordingly if ones looking forward to it the last thing is serviceability of workshops which are very far away from remote areas as even in tricity there is only one workshop which is mohali so as I am living in zirakpur i have to go there once in 6 months which feels a bit far away and lastly i want to share that I met with an accident where dogs came in front of my bike and to save them I had to apply both brakes and my speed was around 50-60kmph and the bike slipped with disbalance and skid to around 200 meters with me being on the bike but the best thing was that the leg guard save my leg and there was just minor injuries with no fracture which I am thankful ofRead More1
