I have been using this bike from 8 months. I purchased this bike for inr 64000. At that time this bike was new in market so i was a little hesitated but the dealer convinced me to go for this bike. Also this was the first local bike which came with aho, and that was also a problem for my father because he thought that it will dry out the battery soon and it will reduce the life of headlamp. But later we found that it is going to be compulsory in future, so it became a positive point to go for this bike.
The look of the bike is cool but the front part specially headlamp and wiser could be made better ( its my opinion my father likes the way it is).The vertical engine makes it look special.
The performance of bike is better than other same range bike of hero. One can feel it's torque on demand feature while riding it. Also, the mileage of bike is good. The i3s technology provided also assists in increasing the mileage of the bike. Trust me it works just fine. Currently i am getting 65 kmpl on road and around 60 kmpl in the city. But when it comes to comfort the bike fails. When you ride the bike beyond the speed of 55 kmph you will feel the vibration in the engine and it causes discomfort to bothe the rider and the person sitting behind him. Also if you ride the bike for more than 60 km continuously at optimum speed (45-50 kmph), trust me you are not gonna like it. In the other words, seat of this bike is not much comfortable for longer journey.
The company offers 5 free services for the bike but the free services are given very less importance at the service centres( of course i am talking about service centres near my area, others may offer better ). In my area they just change the lubricant and wash your bike, nothing else. They do not even ask the problems you are facing while riding the bike.If you go for complaining section, you will end up filling a form.
But instead of all this the bike is performance wise better than other hero bikes of the same range. If you are looking for a low budget bike and you prefer driving it slowly i will recommend you to go for it.
At the end
