• Pros & Cons

  Pros	Strong low-end torque and relaxed cruising ability Classic Royal Enfield styling with premium road presence Comfortable ergonomics suited for long-distance touring Smooth twin-cylinder engine with refined performance	Modern-retro design looks good on the motorcycle Biggest single-cylinder 652cc engine Torque motor with 55 Nm of peak torque Thumpy exhaust note More affordable and powerful than its primary rival Equipped with Brebmo brakes and Pirelli Phantom tyres
  Cons	Could feel slightly heavy in slow city traffic Limited electronics compared to some modern cruisers Brakes could offer a sharper initial bite	Misses on modern features like digital cluster, bluetooth connectivity and more The 5-speed transmission may disappoint some riders The chrome on the motorcycle is difficult to maintain Given that BSA is a new brand in the country, the number of sales and service centers is relatively limited
