      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.
