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.

With this price range there no bike in this segment that offers alot. Like Abs..but the bike is not good for family purpose.
