        Super bike, same with the Super Vibe app. It’s a very cute app where everyone—friends, family, and social media contacts—can connect and work together.

        This is a budget-friendly bike and a solid choice in the 160cc segment. It performs well in traffic and offers a comfortable riding experience. The torque is impressive, making it fun to ride. However, it comes with only a few features. Still, a great value for its price.
