You prefer its body style, brand or dealer near you — the numbers are close.

Very strong value for a 373 cc, 40 PS bike at roughly Rs 5.77 lakh ex-showroom, undercutting many 400 cc rivals while offering modern features like ride modes, Bluetooth console and assist-slipper clutch. Best suited to enthusiasts wanting a powerful daily bike with occasional touring ability, who prioritize performance and tech over long-distance comfort or luggage practicality.

Pros
Strong performance from 373 cc engine with 40 PS and 35 Nm, making it one of the most powerful bikes in its price band.
Advanced features for the segment: ride modes, ABS modes, Bluetooth console, navigation, and USB charging.
Competitive pricing versus other 400 cc and 300–350 cc rivals, giving a high performance-per-rupee quotient.
Wide national sales and service presence through HH Bajaj, improving access to spares and maintenance outside Kathmandu.
Cons
Limited underseat storage and no stock luggage options, reducing practicality for commuting and touring without accessories.
Sporty riding posture and firm suspension may feel less comfortable on long rides or rough rural roads.
No traction control or more advanced rider-aid suite despite the performance level, which some rivals now offer.
Frequent price revisions could confuse buyers and slightly diminish the initial ‘bargain’ perception over time.
