        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

        At the time of servicing I felt the spare parts are bit costlier.

        The sharp-looking split LED headlight setup. It’s topped with a four-step adjustable transparent windscreen is amazing
