Engine gives decent performance.
Aggressive pillion seating position makes it impractical for family use. Rider seat padding feels hard on long commutes. Engine power and braking performance are acceptable.
Maintenance cost and spare parts prices are high compared to Bajaj or TVS bikes. Fuel tank capacity of 10.1 liters is too small for long tours. Engine and brakes perform well.
Engine performance is decent with 19 PS power, but bike pricing is quite high for 160cc class. Stiff suspension transfers sharp bumps to back.

Pillion seat is small for adult family members. Mileage is around 34 kmpl in real traffic.
Pillion seat is narrow and elevated high, making it uncomfortable for family members. Solo riding performance and handling are top class. Stiff rear monoshock.
Suspension setup feels harsh on broken roads and potholes. Heat from liquid engine is felt slightly near ankles during slow traffic jams. Brakes have excellent bite though.
Getting around 32-34 kmpl mileage in heavy traffic conditions. Ride posture is a bit tiring for daily long commutes. Performance and sharp looks are positive points.
Good engine power and sharp braking system. However, servicing costs are high and seat cushioning is firm for daily office travel. Mixed feelings overall.
On road price touches nearly 2.1 lakh which is expensive for 160cc bike. Features like TFT screen and slipper clutch are nice, but value for money aspect is weak compared to 200cc …Read MoreOn road price touches nearly 2.1 lakh which is expensive for 160cc bike. Features like TFT screen and slipper clutch are nice, but value for money aspect is weak compared to 200cc rivals.
Sharp cornering capabilities due to WP apex suspension setup. ABS hardware functions reliably. Riding posture leans slightly forward.

Plastic panels rattle
After riding 3000 km, minor buzzing noise comes from the front headlight fairing assembly. Plastic quality around the fuel tank could have been much tighter and robust for this price.

Too Sporty for Its Own Good
The bike is too dedicated to sport riding, sacrificing essential things like comfort and low-end torque. It’s beautiful, but practicality is zero. (265 characters)

Perfect choice
Best 250cc bike for Indian conditions. Good ground clearance and great safety. Suzuki reliability is a huge plus point.

Noisy and shaky
Looks fast but is slow. Many 160cc bikes can beat it in traffic. Too heavy for the engine. No value for money at all.
