    Pros & Cons

    Pros
    • 155cc engine offers fast & thrilling performance with reliability
    • Amazing road presence due to design
    • Fit & finish is very good for its price
    • Very good beginner bike for track riding experience
    • Comes loaded with the latest features like Quickshifter, etc.
    • 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
    • Pricey when compared to the R15 V4
    • Not a very comfortable bike for long rides
    • Engine buzzes a little in the mid-range performance
    • 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.

        My dream bike is the R15 M. I like this bike the most because it has a true sporty look and feel. Among all sports bikes, the R15 stands out for its style and performance. I am very interested in the R15 V M, and it has always been my dream bike. I admire it a lot and hope to own it one day.
