BikeWale's Take

Good Things
- One of the easy riding adventure bikes in the market
- The seating ergonomics is very comfortable
- Brakes have good bite
- Loaded with safety electronics like TCS, ABS
- Priced quite well
- Excellent touring motorcycle
- Excellent seating comfort
- Loaded with features
- 250cc has good top-end power
Could be better
- 313cc engine develops vibrations at high revs
- The six-speed gearbox is clunky
- Expensive to maintain
- Misses out on spoke wheels
- Engine misses out on low-end torque
- Not a full blown adventure bike
- Can’t do hardcore off-road
- Misses out on full TFT display
- Front brake could have been better
