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.	The highest performance numbers in this segment. Packs more features than most rivals. Gets switchable dual-channel ABS. Gets premium quality hardware.
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.	The design from the older series Duke simply looks too dated. The fuel tank is a puny 10.1-litre unit. The LCD screen may remind you of a Nokia 1100.
