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
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
