• 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.	Sporty design inspired by larger KTM RC models Strong performance from 164cc liquid-cooled engine Lightweight and agile handling for city and twisty roads Practical features like connectivity, slipper clutch and ABS
  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.	Aggressive ergonomics reduce comfort for long rides Missing advanced rider aids seen in higher segments Not as refined as some Japanese rivals Pricng on the higher side for a 160cc bike
