        Power and performance are the best in this class. Off-roading capabilities are impressive, making it a great choice for adventure lovers. Highly recommended for bachelors or solo riders. However, I wouldn’t recommend it for families. Maintenance costs are low, and mileage is decent acceptable for what it offers.
