Competitors With Same Features: Coming again to the Benelli Lioncino 500, it also offers an LED headlamp.
Dual Channel ABS
Dual-channel ABS enhances rider safety by preventing wheel lock-up during emergency braking, resulting in shorter and more effective stopping distances and improved vehicle control, especially in adverse conditions. This is something that more and more manufacturers should focus on providing for safer riding.

Verdict
The entry of Brixton with the models that it has offered is likely to be a good bet considering that the motorcycle space is openeing up where people are going beyond the ususal limits and spulging on their two wheelers as well. However, even after the market is open for the bikes of this range, Indian buyers still want a bang for their buck and manufacturers are expected to bring their A-Game if they want to stay at the top.
