- Review on TVS XL10 0My father brought this bike because he don't want gear one. This give the best mileage in the non gear segment. Less maintenance needed for this bike and light weight of the bike frame is easy to handle when it's static. I don't face any kind of issue. Some things I had to repair but is very common like spark plug carbon, some time horn wire got lose that all. Young genz may not like it because of this style. But yes safety factor is neglect in this bike if any accident gonna happened, I think there might be a problem. Any vendor or village uncle who shifted cycle to motor bike, so this would be perfect choice for you. It can carry a large no of weight. Due to light weight of this bike, it's very easy to move. Perfect for village road and not recommended for off-roads but it's easy to carry this bike in farming field.Read More
- City ride with Hf deluxeI chose the HF Deluxe because it is known for reliability, low maintenance cost, and excellent fuel efficiency, which suits daily commuting needs. Being a product from Hero MotoCorp, it also gives confidence in terms of service network and resale value. The ride so far has been quite smooth and comfortable for city use. The seat is well cushioned and the suspension handles rough roads decently. Mileage is a strong point easily giving around 65 to 70 km per litre which makes it very economical. The bike is lightweight so handling is easy especially in traffic, However speed and power are limited it is not built for aggressive riding On highways it performs okay at moderate speeds 50 to 70 km per hour but feels slightly underpowered if you try to push beyond that. Yes I would definitely recommend this bike to anyone looking for a budget friendly low maintenance daily commuter especially for city rides rather than long highway touring and for office use daily updowRead More

- Rough & tough workhorseI selected this bike for the practicality, it's not flashy or performance oriented absolutely a boring simple commuter. It can handle heavy loads, rough roads. It's durable, fuel efficient & low maintenance. It's been good so far, mature, seniors will like it that's for sure, once you fill the tank, u don't have to worry about refueling. It can handle the space technology used roads pretty good. If you don't know how to ride a bike than this can be a very good option since it's very easy to handle. i would highly recommend this bike to people who are willing to do deliveries and bike taxi cause the mileage is really good and so is the space of the seat the pillion can sit without any discomfort but this is a boring bike so do not expect any thrill.Read More
