    Pros & Cons

    Pros
    • Powerful Engine: 250cc liquid-cooled motor with 29.5bhp and 25Nm ensures strong performance.
    • Sporty Design: Aggressive streetfighter styling with sharp bodywork and LED lighting.
    • Feature-Packed: TFT display, Bluetooth connectivity, riding modes, traction control.
    • Performance-Oriented Handling: Trellis frame, USD forks, and preload-adjustable monoshock.
    • Slipper Clutch: Reduces wheel lock-up during aggressive downshifts.
    • Dual-Channel ABS: Offers better braking control with switchable rear ABS.
    • Superbly priced for the segment it belongs to
    • Use of cycle parts from siblings makes the maintenance costs less
    • Puch-packed performance from the engine
    • Agile handling makes it fun to ride on the city streets
    • Braking entices confidence inside the new riders
    Cons
    • No Adjustable Levers: Lacks adjustable brake and clutch levers for better ergonomics.
    • Pillion may feel uncomfortable: Due to a smaller pillion seat, pillion may find it discomforting to sit for longer rides.
    • Build quality: The bike uses hard plastic in some areas, but this is okay when we look at the price point.
    • Low visibility of the TFT screen: The TFT screen offers good visibility in the shade but struggles under direct sunlight.
    • Stiff Competition: Faces tough rivals like KTM 250 Duke and Bajaj Pulsar N250, but an aggressive price point is the key of success for the brand.
    • Design looks similar to the smaller N250 and NS200
    • Build quality could have been better considering the use of cycle parts
    • Seat comfort is not as good as you would like it to be
    • Barebone features like LCD console make it feel less premium
