Here are 5 Bikes To Opt For, If The Just-launched 450X Variant Isn’t Your Choice
From premium commuters to relaxed cruisers, and more!
Ather has launched the 450X in a base variant at Rs 1,14,636 (ex-showroom Delhi, including Fame II), sans lots of features, but with the performance intact. Nevertheless, if you’re not too keen on going for the latest Ather, fret not, as there are still plenty of options for every kind of rider.
Bajaj Pulsar P150 - 1,19,757
If you’re still someone who looks for traditional appeal with a hint of sportiness, you can’t go wrong with the Bajaj Pulsar P150. We recommend the higher-spec, split seat variant; its wider rear tyre, dual discs, and slightly rear-set footpegs, means your commutes will be just as exciting as your weekend joyrides.
Honda Unicorn - Rs 1,05,718
The Honda Unicorn has persisted unchanged for close to two decades, and has even been reborn after discontinuation! No wonder, though, considering it’s the king of reliability, and its sorted chassis and pliant ride quality means you can ride it to your heart’s content with no worries whatsoever.
Ola S1 - 1,14,999 (ex-showroom, including Fame II)
For the eco-friendly ones looking for performance without compromising on features, there is the top-spec Ola S1. Same smooth, silent drive, connectivity with full-fledged navigation – all at a comparative price tag too.
Avenger 160 street - 1,11,827
Speaking of cruising, though, the Bajaj Avenger Street 160 is a safe bet. Its feet-forward riding stance and long and low form, gives off a ‘proper’ relaxed cruiser vibe. Moreover, it's the most affordable true-blue cruiser you can buy in India.
Suzuki Burgman Street 125 EX- 1,12,300
If you like a feet-forward stance without the irritating prospect of mud and dust from the front wheel being flung onto your chinos, the Suzuki Burgman Street 125 EX is right up your alley. Maxi-scooter feel, comfortable riding dynamics, ample underseat storage, and loads of features including smartphone connectivity, with turn-by-turn navigation. What’s there to miss?
