    Pros & Cons

    Pros
    • Added features - adjustable riding posture
    • Adjustable suspensions & handling settings
    • Availability of spare parts across the country
    • Impeccable handling around the corners
    • Looks better, new colour options
    • Most powerful & lightweight in its segment
    • Reliable and performance friendly engine to continue
    • Tech loaded & a great beginners track motorcycle
    • Powerful Engine: 250cc liquid-cooled motor with 29.5bhp and 25Nm ensures strong performance.
    • Sporty Design: Aggressive streetfighter styling with sharp bodywork and LED lighting.
    • Feature-Packed: TFT display, Bluetooth connectivity, riding modes, traction control.
    • Performance-Oriented Handling: Trellis frame, USD forks, and preload-adjustable monoshock.
    • Slipper Clutch: Reduces wheel lock-up during aggressive downshifts.
    • Dual-Channel ABS: Offers better braking control with switchable rear ABS.
    Cons
    • Dedicated posture not suited for long rides
    • Dizzy low-end torque
    • Heats up pretty quick as compared to the rivals
    • Long term reliability is still a big question mark
    • Too hardcore as compared to the RR310
    • No Adjustable Levers: Lacks adjustable brake and clutch levers for better ergonomics.
    • Pillion may feel uncomfortable: Due to a smaller pillion seat, pillion may find it discomforting to sit for longer rides.
    • Build quality: The bike uses hard plastic in some areas, but this is okay when we look at the price point.
    • Low visibility of the TFT screen: The TFT screen offers good visibility in the shade but struggles under direct sunlight.
    • Stiff Competition: Faces tough rivals like KTM 250 Duke and Bajaj Pulsar N250, but an aggressive price point is the key of success for the brand.
