Our gang of five friends have four bikes amongst us, which anyone of us can take to any where, But mostly we ride together.As of now we are living in hostel and doing our engineering. Now about the bikes.All four are XCD 135. Now for the question "Why did you buy this vehicle? "
We having limited money supply thought to go for some bike in 125-150 CC range, which can provide us best value for money , at the same time some good performance and last but not the least be good looking and fuel efficient.So after lots of search and research and words of wisdom from others zeroed in on this stunner.This bike had everything we wanted and icing on the cake was its pricing.Too good.
We took test rides three four times.Requested some riders to lend their bikes and rode it for some time.Shared their experience about the bike.After hearing lots of good words about it we made our mind to go for it.
*Few things which were most impressive about this bike are,
The bike looks really cool.It looks very sporty.the front fairing has been made a lot bigger .The blinkers and tail lamps are totally unique and give a dashing look to the bike.It certainly looks youth's bike.
Not us even our GFs have the same thing to say.It seems the Famous ad "Twisted sisters" have some truth afterall.
The rear tyre is wider a 100/90 R17 Eurogrip.Provides good grip even in rainy conditions.
Can do 0 to 60 within 6 sec.Very smooth ride.Vibrations are very less and appear only after 75-80.I have tested bikes from likes of Honda, Yamaha and Hero Hnda in this category.But none gives this smooth and confident ride.
Mileage of 70-75 kmpl which is excellent. This figure is 50 % city and 50% highway ride figure.
Self start, Push jet set goooooooooooooooooo
Awesome flickability through traffic.It is true traffic cutter.
Disc Brake, is really effective and 60 to 0 can be done in just a blink, if you apply both the brakes simultaneously.
Nitrox rear suspension, which is found only on bigger bikes in case of other brands.
Negatives, we frankly are trying to find one.May be seat height could have been little less.As one of us Navin is 5'6'' only, and he finds it little difficult for his height.But the ride feel makes us crazy and frankly speaking we don't crib about seat height to any one.
Overall a great bike.If you want a bike of less than 150 CC, Nothing can beat it.
Rest, Happy Riding..................
With love from,
Ravi, Navin, Gaurav, Neel, Abhi.
