        It has nice mileage and excellent speed. The dual disc and dual ABS system, along with great pickup, offer excellent speed and control while riding. The braking system is strong and reliable. The 3 riding modes are very useful — in Urban mode, it runs normally, in Sport mode it delivers double power and speed, and in Rain mode, it's perfect for wet conditions.

        Good performance, great looks, and excellent service. The 160cc engine is powerful, and the side mirrors are awesome and stylish. The seat cover fits perfectly, and the tyres are amazing. I have tried this bike and really liked it.

        Good performance, best quality engine, and great mileage. The sporty looks are fantastic, and I absolutely love the red color. It has low maintenance and awesome ABS braking. Perfect for long drives. The led lights are a great combination. Just awesome.
