Comfort while Riding


It offers low seating with a very comfortable seat. The clips on


handlebar are also placed a bit low in order to give you a sporty


riding posture. Its tank offers nice grip to your knees and the palm


grip is firm and tight. Hyper Edge features rear set foot-pegs which


are more suitable for short riders. We would say there is less knee


space for the tall passengers as you always have to bend slightly


forward to reach its handlebar. It’s a comfortable bike for short


rides but your back might need rest on long runs.


Suspension and Brakes


Advanced gas filled rear shock absorbers and telescopic front forks


are fitted in Hyper Edge. The standard braking system of this bike


sports a big 270mm disc brake at its front and rear disc brake of


200mm on this bike.


Ride and Handling


The bike offers a superb handling which makes it very light and


responsive. It handles best in city traffic and feels under control all


the time. The suspension system also improves its ride quality and


it manages to offer a comfortable ride. The bike now comes with an


extended wheelbase of 1300mm which adds more stability to this


bike. It’s still not the best around sharp corners but its high speed


stability has improved significantly. It has a high ground clearance


( 165mm) which enables it to go pass the worst potholes and high


speed breakers easily.


Verdict


We feel it’s a complete value for money bike as it’s more powerful


and economical than many 150cc bikes. Moreover, it’s stuffed with


many premium features and offers a sporty riding experience. Yes,


there are some issues related to its engine refinement and ride


quality but looking at its price; it certainly deserves a chance.
