    Pros
    • Aggressive design of the LED headlamp

    • Comfortable riding posture- slightly upright and less committed.

        It is a good bike for every man. Must buy it, as the price is not too high compared to other 250cc bikes. The power, design, and mileage are all awesome. So definitely go for it.
