You get the core Royal Enfield experience along with the classic exhaust note. However, you also must constantly deal with those pesky vibrations when you try to go past the rpm limit or any speed above 80km/h. The engine still lacks proper refinement. And the last complaint would be the absence of ABS. For the motorcycle that costs more than Rs. 5 Lakhs without any ABS features is extremely disappointing. Other motorcycles like Dominar 400 and Apache RR310 give you much more value for the money.

It seems as if even though the rest of the competition is moving with time, Royal Enfield is still having a hard time doing so.
