- Mileage problemThe bike is worth the price and offers good value for money. However the mileage is lower than I expected. The overall performance is satisfactory for daily use but better fuel efficiency would make it a more economical choice.Read More
- Decent bike for beginnersYes. I would recommend this bike. Even if you are a first time rider, the only thing you have to keep in mind is the weight. This bike can be heavy for some people but great for even short people like me.Read More
