First Ride

One of the most awaited bike from Bajaj, fame from Vikrant. I am writing this review from the first test ride. The specifications, features are already listed, so i am just going to say what i found about the bike from the first ride. - Bike is more oriented for relaxed riders (city rides). Great Torque in all gears. I tried to pull the bike from 25km in fourth gear, no problem. Got the pull. Clutch feels very light. - Bike has new looks, little different from normal 150cc bikes we usually see on our Indian roads. - Seat height is little low, but has good comfort. Short riders feel more comfortable while riding. For taller riders I think the sitting position is low. - Brakes are good, front disk brakes worked good. Rear brakes are good for optimum breaking. As the bike I rode was new, tires had not much grip. So didn’t try with brakes too hard. - Riding position is good, not a tourer or sports. Just stiff sitting position. - Well the pillion seating is found good. But the support for the pillion rider does not feel secure, as the handle for holding is too small and not very appealing too. - Well some might think the bike is fully made of the metal taken from Vikrant ship. But come on this is a production version, only small bits of metal from ship is taken and mixed with regular metal. Overall bike is good looking, chrome bits look good.

Best Features: Torque, new design(150cc), Vikrant concept.

Pros: Looks, value for money, comfort.

Cons: Height of seat, build quality, design of speedometer was lame.
