      This bike is too good and one of the best in its segment. The mileage is also very impressive. The upgraded version of the bike is excellent, with dual ABS and very good suspension that provides a comfortable and stable ride. However, the gear shifting sometimes shows minor issues and needs to be checked. Overall, it’s a great bike with strong performance and features.
