The motorcycle exudes an aggressive look with its redesigned headlamp and signature X-shaped LED Daytime Running Lights (DRLs), consistent with Hero's design language. At the rear, the bike's tall design is complemented by the LED tail lamp, enhancing its dynamic appearance. The exposed frame and aluminum foot pegs for the pillion passenger are visible in the side profile, while the split pillion grab rail adds to the rear's visual appeal. Notably, the vibrant color choices of Yellow and Turbo Red are sure to grab attention, and it also comes in a Matter Phantom Black color option.

This powerplant boasts an impressive output of 25.5 PS of power and a peak torque of 20.4 Nm, positioning itself as one of the most powerful engines in the sub-220cc category. It is paired with a 6-speed gearbox that incorporates a slipper and assist clutch mechanism.

Suspension & Breaks 8

Featuring telescopic front forks and a rear mono-shock absorber with 6-step adjustability, the bike delivers a comfortable and smooth riding experience. The suspension system is finely tuned to effectively absorb uneven road surfaces, with a slightly softer setup at the rear and a slightly tighter feel at the front. For braking, the motorcycle employs 300mm petal disc brakes in the front and a 230mm petal disc in the rear. Dual-channel ABS enhances the braking system, providing an additional layer of safety.

Summary

The motorcycle's suspension and braking systems are finely tuned to accommodate both daily city commuting and highway journeys.

Ergonomics 8

In terms of ergonomics, the bike is equipped with a clip-on handlebar that encourages a slightly forward-leaning riding position. This stance doesn't excessively lean towards the front but imparts a sporty feel. Furthermore, the rear-set foot pegs, positioned slightly toward the back, contribute to the overall sporty posture. With a seat height of 810mm, it falls within a moderate range, providing comfort for most riders, although taller individuals might find it especially accommodating. However, for the pillion rider, the elevated rear seat, a common feature in faired motorcycles, could be a challenge for shorter riders or when mounting.

Summary

The ergonomics of the motorcycle are well sorted and it gives it a sporty riding posture to the rider. While the elder and female pillion riders might get difficulties to get on the rear.

  Looks promising with its aggressive styling and impressive specs. Sharp and angular, with a prominent nose that gives the bike a menacing look. Headlight is a LED unit that is both bright and stylish, and it is flanked by two sharp and angular mirrors.
