        Ride quality feel better by a significant bit while mid-corner bumps are dealt with smoothly. Suspension system also plays a crucial role in delivering a smooth and controlled ride, absorbing bumps and jumps effectively. It also allowing riders to fine-tune the handling and ride comfort according to their preferences.

        Better-finished motorcycle. Design increases the volume in the tank area but the exposed subframe and the higher placed lower edge of the tank make the motorcycle feels lighter. Design is aggressive in every sense- right from the sharp and aggressive-looking full-LED headlamp to the tail section

        4.4
        Great sports bike with good looks and good mileage. Tyres provide decent amounts of grip on tar roads after they have heated up a bit, though grip levels are good when they are cold and when they are being ridden on concrete roads. Nimble handling and precise control, allowing riders to confidently navigate corners and maneuver through traffic. Average is good but not that much but best performance.

        Some riders with larger builds may find the seat a bit narrow. Suspension syste is tuned to offer a good balance between comfort and sportiness. It absorbs bumps and road imperfections reasonably well, ensuring a smooth ride. Seat provides adequate support for the rider.
