        I absolutely love this bike—both in the city and on the highway. It's perfect for touring, offering great comfort and control on long rides. The seat is very comfortable, making extended trips enjoyable and fatigue-free. It's also one of the best options in its budget range, with impressive handling and a solid price point. With the right modifications, this bike becomes even better suited for touring. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a reliable and budget-friendly touring machine.

        Best bike in its segment, It reaches high speeds in a fraction of a second and gives an average mileage of 30–31 km/l in my usage. It also performs excellently on off-road rides.

        This bike is fully powerful, and its braking is perfect. The look gives a gangster-like feel. I bought this bike mainly for its performance thanks to Bajaj for making such a great bike.
