      Good bike but not that reliable and it's very difficult to get spare parts, don't expect the service to be budget friendly.

      The seating position and ergonomics of the Royal Enfield 360 are well thought out, ensuring a comfortable riding posture for both short commutes and long journeys. The suspension setup effectively absorbs bumps and imperfections on the road, enhancing the overall comfort.
