I?m really happy with this bike. It gives more than 40 kmpl mileage, which is great for daily use. Pickup is smooth and power delivery is decent for city rides. Speed is also good?not too high, but enough for normal riding. Ride comfort is solid; even on bad roads, it feels stable. One thing I personally love is the engine sound?it?s refined and gives a nice feel. Overall, it?s a hi-pickup bike with comfort, mileage, and decent performance. Worth buying for regular use!
