      Outstanding bike. The brake system is very good and maintenance is also low. But Mileage is very low 25 to 30, so I would not suggest it for daily commuters.

      Nice and comfortable, stylish looks and lighting and even seating is very comfortable. only problem is with timing chain , because it is getting loose after driving for some days. apart from that overall experience and build quality is appreciable. Thank you TVS for releasing such an amazing bike into the market.

      With its bold and sporty appearance, the bike has a powerful stance and crisp lines. The bike has a modern and dynamic look thanks to its split seat arrangement, contoured fuel tank, and streamlined headlamp.

      A five-speed gearbox is mated to the engine, enabling ideal power delivery and seamless gear shifts. The bike has a top speed of about 100 km/h (62 mph), and it accelerates fairly well.
