Recently Asked User Questions

Q. Which one is better Hornet 2.0 & CB 300f. Mostly I have city commute and my priorities are performance and comfortable journey for rider as well as pillion. Which one should I go ?
  • The Honda CB300F offers better performance with its 293.52cc engine, while the Hornet 2.0 is more fuel-efficient with 42.3 kmpl mileage. If you prioritize power and a smooth ride, the CB300F is ideal, but for cost-effective city commuting, the Hornet 2.0 is a great choice. We recommend a test ride to find the best fit for your comfort needs. https://www.zigwheels.com/bike-comparison/honda-cb300f-vs-honda-hornet-20
Q. Which bike is the best Yamaha R15 V4 or Bajaj Pulsar NS200?
  • The Yamaha YZF-R15 V4 continues to be a trustworthy tool for riders looking to hone their track-riding skills. Of course, it is now a bit ergonomically friendlier and roomy enough for larger riders too. Additions like the traction control and quick shifter only amplify the bike’s sportiness. So, in our books, despite the price jump, the R15 V4 is a worthy proposition. On the other hand, the Bajaj Pulsar NS200 has soldiered through nine years of intense competition. As a result, pricing, features, and ease of use have ceased to be the bike’s strengths. The NS still puts up a strong fight in the BS6 era and is a perfect fit for those who like their bikes sporty and a little raw. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details.
Q. Which is better between Yamaha R15 v4 vs Yezdi Scramber?
  • The Yamaha YZF-R15 V4 continues to be a trustworthy tool for riders looking to hone their track-riding skills. Of course, it is now a bit ergonomically friendlier and roomy enough for larger riders too. On the hand, The Yezdi Scrambler is one attractive-looking motorcycle that packs equally impressive performance. And with its prices, even though it is a tempting proposition, we hope Yezdi addresses some glaring issues with the bike including quality and engine refinement. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride for a better understanding of performance and comfort. Click on the link and select your desired city and brand for dealership details.
