    Pros & Cons

    Pros
    • The faired design looks nice and makes it a head-turner vehicle.
    • The 210cc engine is one of the most powerful options in the segment.
    • Comfortable riding posture- slightly upright and less committed.
    • USD front forks have made suspension better.
    • Smooth gear transitions make city and highway rides easy and comfortable.
    Cons
    • You don’t feel the engine’s punch until 6,000 rpm.
    • Build quality is not that good.
    • Vibrations evident on higher speeds- when you go above 5,000 rpm

        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.
