I’ve been riding the Pulsar
I’ve been riding the Pulsar 125 for [22/04/2021], My bike(Pulsar 125) delivers a smooth ride with its 125cc engine. The output is perfect for city commuting and occasional highway rides. It offers a good balance of performance, providing enough acceleration for overtaking while also maintaining a decent fuel economy. The engine is quite refined and performs well even on longer rides.

Awesome GO TO bike
Awesome bike to drive and preferably for mileage. I have been using for past 1year and everything has been good with my bike. Seat comfortnes is good and little difficult for long rides. Good style provided and my recommendation is to add the charging USB port as an advanced feature since it is missing..

I literally love that bike
I literally love that bike that's really amazing. And the mileage of this bike was amazing for some guys who do like food delivery or anything like this the bike is too much good for them. I appreciate hero for this bike the maintenance was two easy and affordable. But due to his lightweight it's sometime not too much safe in road. Some talking about its look then it's average not good very much.

Best bike in budget range
The Xtreme 125R ABS is the best bike in the budget range. I’ve been using it for 2 months, and my experience has been fantastic. It delivers great performance, impressive durability, and comfort, all at an affordable price. With its stylish design and smooth handling, it’s perfect for those seeking a reliable and budget-friendly bike.

Killer in the segment 🔥
I was looking for best in segment firstly my mind was towords Raider 125 but when this bike came it give me all I want in my bike then I booked at my nearest showroom very smooth experience also worthy of buying it. It gives good performance and smooth riding feels very comfortable for long ride also.. gear shift is also very smooth.in terms of milage I can say it kill in the segment.
