Price as of 2026-10, with BRTA registration. Scores are ours, out of 10. How we rate
Why it wins
- Mileage. 60-70 km/l real-world. Only an electric scooter beats it on our list; among petrol bikes it ties with the Splendor+ and the Bajaj 100s.
- Joint cheapest to maintain on our list (with the Splendor+): a service every 3,000 km at about ৳750, mechanic familiarity 10/10 and parts availability 10/10.
- Reliability 9/10. It uses the same 97cc engine as the Splendor+, one of the most proven engines on Bangladeshi roads.
Who it suits
- In our quiz, with the budget set at its own on-road price, it comes first for: Dhaka commuting, rarely a pillion, with mileage and resale as priorities.
- Delivery and ride-share riders who count every litre, students, and anyone whose bike is a tool, not a hobby.
Trade-offs
- Drum brakes at both ends and no CBS. Fine in town traffic, weak at highway speed. Leave more gap than you think.
- 8.02 PS, 4 gears and a top speed around 80 km/h. Highway score 4/10: this is not a long-distance bike.
- Basic seat and suspension (comfort 6/10). The Splendor+ has the same engine with a little more comfort and better resale (9/10 vs 8/10) for ৳1,500 more on the road.
