        This bike is best for mileage. Perfect choice for delivery drivers and middle-class families. It gives very good mileage, runs on cheap CNG, and has the lowest service cost. It’s also comfortable to ride. I’m planning to buy this bike for my brother.

        This bike is a game-changer. With petrol prices soaring, it’s great that this bike also supports CNG, giving over 100 km per kg. In my city, CNG costs ₹90/kg, which comes to just ₹0.9/km. The comfort and riding experience are amazing—truly hard to describe. The mileage is excellent too. However, the design could be improved as the seat sometimes feels bulky.
