• 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.	Sporty design inspired by larger KTM RC models Strong performance from 164cc liquid-cooled engine Lightweight and agile handling for city and twisty roads Practical features like connectivity, slipper clutch and 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	Aggressive ergonomics reduce comfort for long rides Missing advanced rider aids seen in higher segments Not as refined as some Japanese rivals Pricng on the higher side for a 160cc bike
