Pros	Superbly priced for the segment it belongs to Use of cycle parts from siblings makes the maintenance costs less Puch-packed performance from the engine Agile handling makes it fun to ride on the city streets Braking entices confidence inside the new riders	Sporty design inspired by larger KTM RC models Strong performance from 164cc liquid-cooled engine Lightweight and agile handling for city and twisty roads Practical features like connectivity, slipper clutch and ABS
Cons	Design looks similar to the smaller N250 and NS200 Build quality could have been better considering the use of cycle parts Seat comfort is not as good as you would like it to be Barebone features like LCD console make it feel less premium	Aggressive ergonomics reduce comfort for long rides Missing advanced rider aids seen in higher segments Not as refined as some Japanese rivals Pricng on the higher side for a 160cc bike
