• Pros & Cons

  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.
