        This is a great bike. I have been using it for a year now and it is a very good economical package if you want a upgrade from 125cc segment. Its best and stable in highways and also best for daily commute and returns a great mileage too about 45-50 kmpl. Drawbacks are it is a bit backdated in design compared to other 160cc but it is very sophisticated and sober looking if you don't want sporty looking bike.

        A great value-for-money and low-maintenance bike. The Unicorn is my third bike, and I wouldn’t choose any other. Comfortable for riding and helps save money.

        I purchased a new Unicorn, and I really like it. It has better performance, a smooth engine beat, and is one of the top-selling bikes in India. I love it and enjoy driving it comfortably. I truly like this bike.
