User Reviews
It is better than others in terms of looks and mileage. However, sometimes it feels expensive due to maintenance costs. Gear shifting can also be difficult at times, and the ground clearance is insufficient for two people sitting on the bike, especially when crossing speed breakers.Read More

For daily city riding the engine is smooth and responsive. It’s particularly good for overtaking and quick acceleration compared with many conventional 125cc commuters bikes.
