        The bike is good, but the top speed feels low for its 349cc engine. Still, it makes up for it with great reliability and stability. I’m now thinking of upgrading to the Guerrilla 450.

        Best Royal Enfield I’ve ever used! Perfect for city rides with good speed, comfortable seat height for both short and tall riders, and a great price range. My favorite is the Rio White color—it looks stunning on the road. Ideal for cutting through traffic. With the new GST scheme (18% tax without cess) and festive season discounts, it’s the best time to go for it. Thank you, RE.

        Very good bike with excellent stability. The quality of every part is strong, and I like the design the most. The only downside is the mileage, which is low, and the top speed reaches only 130–140 km/h, which feels low for a 350cc bike.
