    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.
