Yes because the alloys are basic and looks bad. Something like the diamond cut alloys from the dominar with the chrome engine would actually rock the look. The matt black finish is the culprit behind the average look. The 120th anniversary GT owned by Anurag looks average too in my opinion. The chrome looks way better

Thankyou for getting into the topic instantly! No weird intro and explanations. Godbless!

I agree with the most guys in the comment section that the previous model with spoke wheels looked better but it had some serious grip issues and plus the center of gravity was little higher than the new one. This one is slightly more aggressive in seating posture and those tyres do provide a better grip and Royal Enfield has lowered its center of gravity that makes it very stable at high speeds and for cornering too.

The area where improvement was required most is the seat. Disappointed that RE did nothing in that department.

Great review! Would've been better if the clips showing only the bikes were not color graded to avoid misleading colors of the bikes.

I like the alloys and led lights but I don't agree with the blacked engine parts. Something tells me the coating is not going to last for a long time. Peeling off will be a main issue. They should offer a variant with the old engine and new wheels and lights.

I love these blacked out colors. I recall reading something about upgraded foam for the seat. Does it feel different?
