Vivek · Accepted Answer

I've never had any major issues, just upgraded to better tires however, and that made a huge difference in wet conditions.

Abhinav · Answer

Light rain is fine, heavy downpours I avoid. On slippery roads, I am nervous because there is no ABS.

Charu · Answer

It handles better, I think, than some more expensive bikes I've tried. Visibility is an aid from the upright riding position.

Punit · Answer

Not great, not terrible. It works, but I feel I ride much more cautiously during monsoons.

Rahul · Answer

It's okay if you're careful. Some aftermarket mud flaps made a big difference for splash protection.

Abhinav · Answer

In heavy rain I've had some scary moments. The headlight could be brighter and the drum brakes aren't great when wet.

Raj · Answer

It's surprisingly good! The way the tires work may be decent to run on a wet road. Just be careful and don’t brake to much.
