Features, and why each matters
Grouped by what they do for you. Underlined items link to a plain-English explainer.
Safety and braking
Side-stand engine cut-off
Engine will not run with the stand down, which prevents a common low-speed crash.
Links the rear brake lever to the front so a rear-only stamp still slows you properly.
Tubeless tyres
A puncture deflates slowly instead of instantly, and roadside repair takes ten minutes.
Chassis
Alloy wheels
Lighter than spoked wheels and they allow tubeless tyres.
Lighting
LED headlamp
Brighter, whiter and lasts the life of the bike. Halogens on rivals look yellow by comparison.
Console and connectivity
Digital console
Trip meters, real-time mileage and a gear indicator. The analogue dial is disappearing.
Bluetooth connectivity
Call and message alerts on the console so the phone stays in your pocket.
Convenience
Engine kill switch
Switch the engine off from the right bar without reaching for the key.
Equipment against Shine 125
Against Shine 125, it gets bluetooth connectivity that the rival does not.
What it lacks: front disc brake, which the rival offers. The safety items in that list matter more than the console.
