About the Reviewer

Amazing café racer looks amazing and powerful 250 cc engine. If you are looking forward for this one buy without any hesitation. Best headlight led, amazing color combinations, love the design. Breaking system with great bite. Sitting posture is more aggressive and little more painful after long riding.

About the Reviewer

I am going to talk about Vitpilen 250 in this review. 1st Vitpilen means white arrow. This bike is available in only one color variant in India. Everyone knows that this bike is produced by Bajaj. Build quality is nice, so no issues with looks. Most of the components such as engine, frame, suspensions and brakes are the same as the duke 250. The frame is steel trellis powder coated. Front looks, outline drls, day time, inside led in the bike is a overall awesome appearance along with round shape.
Digital odometer like round shape. but no mobile app connection, No gps and its too bad. Front suspension is not suitable for Indian roads. Ground clearance is not good only 149mm which cannot be used off-road. Foot pad quality is of super steel pads but rear footpads are like sports bikes. Engine has aluminum finish which is too attractive. This bike has dual channel ABS. Backside view; tail light design has a new look. Exhaust, sounds not bad. Rear suspension is monoshock suspension but not adjustable. Performance; performance is extraordinary. 24 nm torque. Best street fighter. Also the bike might heat up in traffic but if won't be that of an issue as heat management is very good. I feel somehow this bike will not ditch on road. This bike have fuel injection. Mileage; city mileage is 28km per liter. Long trips give 33km per liter.
Pros: speechless look, amazing torque and power, the way the bike pull which is very smooth.
Cons: this bike bit taller than most of other regular bikes that the prominent difference. Seat height is 842 mm.

About the Reviewer

Buying experience:Test ride was not given due to the covid situation, otherwise a pleasant buying experience
Pros:
1.Looks
2.Handling
3.Power and acceleration
Cons:
1.Fuel efficiency of about 28 to 30
2.Have to stop for fuel about every 200 kms
Range not ideal for very long rides
3.Fuel gauge shows low fuel warning with more than 3 litres of fuel remaining.

About the Reviewer

The plot in short:- the bike is nimble and easy to ride, the front suspension is on the stiffer side since it improves cornering, the rear suspension got 6 steps damping settings, the low-end torque is insanely fun and the top end hovers around 162-164 km/hr max on gps ...Which in my opinion is an overkill since it reduces bike's efficiency and longevity, ground clearance is a headache for Indian roads since the illegal speed breakers collide with the beneath surface where the heat pipes reside, a certain type of issue increases the exposure towards dents and cracks on the pipeline. And the seat height is too much for the average Indian buyer with a shorter height, which in my case is negligible. The slipper clutch is soft and easy to use, and the resistance against the grip done by the clutch lever is almost null by the clutch leaver while pulling it for gear shiftings. Packed with a complete led setup for every unit(signal lights, drls, headlamps, rear stop light) on the bike. The fuel tank doesn't have enough volume which is a con in my opinion and is not suitable for long rides, while the posture doesn't allow you to do so at the same time, so never mind. Abs and breaking are top-tier, but the brake pads tend to heat up quickly, so it's better to add ceramic brake pads and replace the stock ones for better braking bite power and stability, during high speeds the stability lacks a little bit unlike other bikes within the same range, and you might need an anti-tank slapper to prevent high-speed crashes. But still, a skilled rider could go away with it...
Pros:-design, performance, stability, maneuverability, braking, completely led setup, dual channel byebre abs, wp apex suspension(which is better than the vanilla wp suspension), slipper clutch, smooth transmission.
Cons:-seat height, ground clearance, shifting rod jamming, lack of ceramic brake pads small fuel tank, weird-looking mirrors and grab rail.

About the Reviewer

I bought my vitpilen 250 on 07 jun'20, just few days after the lockdown period ended in delhi. I went to the showroom for a test ride, but didn't get one due to covid-19 situation. Only thing i did was, i sat on the bike to check the seat height. Mine was the first husqvarna bike to be sold from that showroom. Riding experience is pretty good so far, i use it for daily commute. Bike has a sporty seating posture and i don't think it's everyone's choice. Waiting at the traffic signals, getting pulled over numerous times, people approaching me whenever i stop for a tea, trust me this bike is a conversation starter. And that perplexed look on the people's face when i tell them the make & model of the bike. I usually tell them, this company is owned by ktm to make it simple. The bike looks very minimalist, like 'retro meets future'. My suggestion would be, just don't forget to remove those grab rails if you want the bike to look more sexy.I have done my bikes first service at ktm service center nearby my place. Basically, servicing cost will be similar to duke 250. Performance of the bike is really nice and i get around 32-35kmpl mileage for my daily commutes.Pros:- this bike is a real attention grabber. Really made for style conscious buyers.- you get reliable service as it's provided by ktm. Cons:- this bike my look compact, but the seat height is higher than average. I'm 5'6, and i think shorter people might find it difficult to reverse the bike while being seated.- the ground clearance of this bike is pretty low, you are going to hit those speed bumps which are not made according to the norms if you are not careful enough.
