        If you want a bike that is sporty yet family-friendly, this one is perfectly suitable and worth the money. The ABS brakes are very good, and the service is fine. The look is stunning, and my favorite is the top model.

        This is a very stylish bike, but not focused on mileage, so it may not be ideal for family use. It is best suited for students or teenagers who want a sporty and stylish ride. I am interested in it for its look and style rather than practical commuting.
