Pros & Cons

Pros
  • The faired design looks nice and makes it a head-turner vehicle.
  • The 210cc engine is one of the most powerful options in the segment.
  • Comfortable riding posture- slightly upright and less committed.
  • USD front forks have made suspension better.
  • Smooth gear transitions make city and highway rides easy and comfortable.
Cons
  • You don’t feel the engine’s punch until 6,000 rpm.
  • Build quality is not that good.
  • Vibrations evident on higher speeds- when you go above 5,000 rpm
