The Engine and Experience of Riding
The engine is so much butter smooth. The pick-up is very crisp once you turn the throttle. As it cuts through the city, you feel light and agile. Fifth gear is very comfortable on the highway, with almost no vibrations. Very easy for beginner riders and daily commuters.
Design: Retro Touch With a Modern Twist
Teardrop tank; round LED headlight; chrome mirrors—the whole vibe is like an old-school roadster bike. Metallic paint, the comfort of a bench-type seat, and spoke-style alloy wheels. The rear has a slim LED taillight that gives a premium look to the bike. This puts the rider in an upright position and makes for excellent comfort in the city as well as on long rides.
Comforts and Suspension
The telescopic forks up front and twin shocks to the rear muted quite a lot of shock from very rough terrain. Seats are well-cushioned, even great for a pillion rider. Weight balance makes U-turns and cornering on tight streets pretty easy.
Really Handy Features

- ABS + Good Brake Feel: Stopping power when it counts.

Mileage and Tank
