        It’s a nice bike, Hero should consider launching a proper sports bike with advanced features like built-in navigation, a smooth and powerful engine, sporty tyres, a bold and aggressive design, and a loud exhaust sound. It should truly feel like a high-performance sports bike.

        Superb performance and incredibly smooth handling. The control is the best in its segment. It’s the best sports bike under ₹2.5 lakh, with an iconic look and an eye-catching, attractive design. A perfect blend of beauty and power highly recommended.

        It's a very comfortable bike to ride, with excellent mileage. The balance is awesome, and the pickup is quick. It's smooth to ride, and I have the black model, which looks cool. The digital meter is also really impressive.

        Looks promising with its aggressive styling and impressive specs. Sharp and angular, with a prominent nose that gives the bike a menacing look. Headlight is a LED unit that is both bright and stylish, and it is flanked by two sharp and angular mirrors.
