    Pros & Cons

    Pros
    • Overall build quality is very good
    • Engine performance is fast yet economical
    • Sharp handling makes it fun to ride motorcycle
    • Bluetooth-connected tech comes in handy on the go
    • Suspension is very comfortable for the city
    • Powerful Engine: 250cc liquid-cooled motor with 29.5bhp and 25Nm ensures strong performance.
    • Sporty Design: Aggressive streetfighter styling with sharp bodywork and LED lighting.
    • Feature-Packed: TFT display, Bluetooth connectivity, riding modes, traction control.
    • Performance-Oriented Handling: Trellis frame, USD forks, and preload-adjustable monoshock.
    • Slipper Clutch: Reduces wheel lock-up during aggressive downshifts.
    • Dual-Channel ABS: Offers better braking control with switchable rear ABS.
    Cons
    • Design has now started to look old
    • Not as feature-loaded as rivals
    • Sitting posture is not very comfortable due to its sporty character
    • No Adjustable Levers: Lacks adjustable brake and clutch levers for better ergonomics.
    • Pillion may feel uncomfortable: Due to a smaller pillion seat, pillion may find it discomforting to sit for longer rides.
    • Build quality: The bike uses hard plastic in some areas, but this is okay when we look at the price point.
    • Low visibility of the TFT screen: The TFT screen offers good visibility in the shade but struggles under direct sunlight.
    • Stiff Competition: Faces tough rivals like KTM 250 Duke and Bajaj Pulsar N250, but an aggressive price point is the key of success for the brand.

        Excellent performance and looks, very comfortable, and great for long drives. The mileage is around 45 km/l (actual mileage may vary). I am using the TVS Apache RTR 160 2V with big front and rear tires. I really like the black color.
