Features, and why each matters
Grouped by what they do for you. Underlined items link to a plain-English explainer.
Console and connectivity
Digital console
Trip meters, real-time mileage and a gear indicator. The analogue dial is disappearing.
Convenience
USB charging port
Charges the phone on a long commute. Check whether it is Type-A or Type-C.
Under-seat storage
Whether a full-face helmet fits is the question to ask at the showroom.
Electric
Public or home fast charger support cuts a full charge from overnight to an hour or two.
Carry the pack upstairs to charge. Solves the no-plug-at-parking problem.
Reverse mode
Walks the scooter backwards out of a tight parking spot under motor power.
Cruise control
Holds a set speed on open roads. Mostly a highway feature.
Over-the-air updates
Software features and fixes arrive without a service visit.
Safety and braking
Front disc brake
Sheds heat and works when wet. Worth the small premium over a drum on any commuter.
Tubeless tyres
A puncture deflates slowly instead of instantly, and roadside repair takes ten minutes.
Hazard lamps
All four indicators flash; useful in fog and when stopped on a highway shoulder.
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.
LED daytime running lamp
Makes you visible to cars in daylight, when most two-wheeler collisions happen.
LED tail lamp
Lights up instantly, which gives the vehicle behind a fraction more warning.
Equipment against SX25, Wolf and Lite
Equipment present on at least one variant of each; check the variant table for trim-specific items.
