• Pros & Cons

  Pros, Cons

  Pros	Lightweight frame improves trail manoeuvrability effectively. Strong suspension handles rough terrain confidently. Durable components ensure long-term off-road reliability. Responsive handling allows precise cornering on trails. Aggressive design enhances rugged off-road aesthetics.	The highest performance numbers in this segment. Packs more features than most rivals. Gets switchable dual-channel ABS. Gets premium quality hardware.
  Cons	No road legality limits street usability. Basic features reduce convenience for long rides. Seat and ergonomics limit long session comfort.	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.
