        4.6
        Overall good experience riding it. Seat comfort is incredible and handling is very good. Only downside for short riders such as me is its seat height and kerb weight. Suspension setup is really good and works very well in off-road conditions. On road price of this vehicle is on the higher side

        Long rides are incredibly relaxing, causing little stress to the shoulders or the back.

        Due to the catcon's 130mm ground clearance, it touches some steep speed breaks.
