Pros & Cons

Pros
  • Gets upside down front forks
  • Full digital instrument cluster
  • Great service reach
  • It is worth for its cost and easy to maintain.
  • 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.
Cons
  • Misses out on dual-channel ABS
  • Pillion seat has less space
  • Priced quite high
  • 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.
