Pros	One of the best-selling commuter bike in India Reliable engine & easy maintenance Lightweight means it is easy to use on rough roads Fuel economy is one of the best in its segment Riding position is comfortable & relaxing New features like USB charging are helpful to the rider Pricing-wise it is still one of the best bikes in its segment	Attractive pricing compared to rivals. Sharp styling with new and sporty design language. It is agile and offers good maneuverability in traffic. The lightweight and stiffer suspension setup helps in providing good handling. The seat is spacious and offers good space for rider and pillion. The new 125cc engine is peppy and offers good low and mid-range performance. The gearbox offers smooth gearshifts. Available in 2 variants and 7 colour options.
Cons	Design is very old now It doesn’t look or feel as premium as rivals like Honda Shine 100 Only comes with drum brakes, no option of disc brake Seat needs more cushioning for comfort It looks dated and boring on the road	The ride quality is a bit on the stiffer side. The high range is not that good and the engine feels strained at over 90 kmph. The seat could’ve been more well cushioned it feels a bit hard. It misses on some features such as turn-by-turn navigation and ABS. The plastic used on the front forks might start rattling after a few years.
