Same headlight as the Hornet 2.0 but the ADV styling makes it stand out – Looks quite rugged as well

184.4cc air-cooled single cylinder engine – Produces 17.26PS & 16.1Nm – Offers peppy acceleration

The engine has adequate low end grunt & is also very tractable: riding at lower speeds in high gears isn’t an issue

Feels quite agile and nimble The low 147kg kerb weight makes it a lot of fun in the city

Decent suspension but the monoshock is a bit firm – Sharper bumps on the road will be felt

Braking performance is quite good with adequate bite and feedback

Offers a comfortable riding experience with the upright riding posture & well cushioned seat

Instrument console has a clean layout and is very easy to read – Offers good visibility under harsh sunlight too

Overall, for Rs 1,46,999 ex-showroom Delhi, it is expensive but is fun to ride – Can handle city commuting and the occasional weekend rides
