Can we ride the Radeon in hills for 150 kms.

The Radeon’s engine is a Star City Plus-derived 109.7cc Duralife air-cooled unit which pushes out 8.4PS at 7000rpm and 8.7Nm at 5000rpm. Coupled with a well-spaced four-speed transmission, the engine feels torquey at low revs. Thanks to the torque, you can comfortably trundle along at 30kmph on the fourth all day long. The “all-down” type gear shifter feels precise and is smooth to operate too, without any clunkiness or false neutrals. We rode the bike under 50kmph in the city and it returned 66.29kmpl, which isn’t too bad for a commuter bike. Out on the highway, we got 63.97kmpl with the speedo needle hovering at 60kmph. This speed is a little out of its comfort zone, and it’s best to keep the bike between 30-50kmph if you want to squeeze out the maximum efficiency. The engine’s refinement really takes the cake here. It feels vibe-free up until 70kmph but even beyond that, the intensity of the vibrations isn’t distracting. Despite pushing the engine to its limits, there’s only a light buzz on the footpegs and on the tank. Moreover, we would suggest you take a test ride for a better understanding of performance and riding comfort. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership.
