Pros & Cons

Pros
  • Adjustable suspensions & handling settings
  • Availability of spare parts across the country
  • Impeccable handling around the corners
  • Most powerful & lightweight in its segment
  • Tech loaded & a good mid-weight off-road motorcycle
  • Looks large for a 250cc bike
  • Excellent punchy performance from Gixxer based engine
  • Comfortable riding posture for both pillion & rider
Cons
  • Design and looks might not be of everyone’s liking
  • Dizzy low-end torque
  • Heats up pretty quick as compared to the rivals
  • Long term reliability is still a big question mark
  • More of a soft-trail bike than outright adventure
