OVERDRIVE, February 2009- the XCD 135 DTS-Si, even before you actually ride it, look like a capable, stylish commuter that is far sportier in design than, say, the HERO HONDA GLOMOUR or the PASSION'
BIKE INDIA, *March 2009- "On the highway, the XCD 135 will max out at 104 km/h(true speed)"the XCD 135 impress with an equally good acceleration$ significantly qucker roll-ons which can shame even sporty 125cc like the STUNNER$ THE GLADITOR "
AUTOCAR INDIA, MARCH 2009- "paint quality, as well as rubber plastic parts used are first rate, as it to attention to details and fit$ finish"
BUSINESS STANDARD MOTORING, *March 2009 - "I think it is fare to say that the XCD 135 is the best looking in its segment "The side panels$ the tail section are slightly different, but the LED tail lamps is definitely one of the best I've seen on an indian bike "
