        The bike is superb! I really like the GTT technology. The color scheme is attractive, and the engine beat sounds great. It has good ground clearance, a sporty look, and the LED lights add to its appeal.

        It's a good bike I've been using it for quite some time. The design is great, and the side profile is the best. It gives a mileage of around 35-40 km/l. Everything else is nice too. Go for it - it's one of the best bikes.

        Aggressive looks, a muscular tank, sharp LED DRLs, and racing graphics give it a bold streetfighter appearance. Every ride feels like a statement. The mileage-to-power balance is impressive getting around 45–50 km/l while still delivering that sporty performance.
