Raider features
Bike is totally awesome and the milage, performance , looks are very good price is under 1 lakh and in this segment decent price and look . Feature of bikes is silent start , extra torq , Bluetooth connectivity and overall is worth. But the suspension for pillion riders normally not good for breakers.
