These type of reviews are so underrated. True, concise, and transparent. All reviews nowadays are so much edited and cinematically beautiful that it stops being organic. This was my favourite review of the bike. And i am a potential buyer rn.

Took the bike briefly on horrible roads with potholes and steep bumps. Suspension is a bit on the stiffer side but I liked it. If you’re physically used to it, it’s all great! It loves to lean and it’s fantastic for the city. I’m sure this would be great for the highway too. Thanks for the video!

Greetings, First of all, thanks for the great review! My questions is how good is the hunter compared to Xpulse? I stay in Bangalore and do not do much offroading, maybe would take weekend rides travelling to Hyderabad. Please advise.
@bigbearbangalore
Жыл бұрын
Thanks and glad you liked the review. The two are quite different. Both are amazing for city commute with the Xp having an advantage on suspension and mileage. On the highway the Hunter will be more stable and will perform better especially when riding doubles, plus the tubeless tyres. If the roads that you mostly ride are relatively smooth then the Hunter is the way to go and is more rewarding and fun on good roads. Xpulse shines on bad roads and anywhere else it feels just a regular motorcycle. Tough choice though!! 😀 Cheers!

If you have a sensitive back and the roads you regularly commute are bad, then go for a motorcycle with a soft and long travel suspension like the Xpulse. And considering the condition of Bangalore roads, the perfect motorcycle would be a motocross one!!

@bigbearbangalore
Жыл бұрын
Hello! Back pain is a horrible thing and there are too many ways that motorcycling can trigger back pain, from handlebar to seat to suspension. I can’t say if this motorcycle will or will not cause. The best is to take a long test ride and find out for oneself. And the Hunter has nothing so drastic in its design to call it suitable for either the young or the old. Cheers!
