I bought my XCD 10 months ago and I have decided the write down what I feel about the bike. The biggest advantage of XCD is its price, great deal for alloy wheels, self start
Mileage: I wonder why Bajaj is not honest. It is almost half i.e 50 - 55 kmpl in city. (i once manage 58 kmpl !)
Brakes: I am not at all impressed with the brakes :(
Handling and Control: I recently went for a long ride (pilion). The bike managed cruise easily at 65 - 70 kmph. The handle bar tends to wobble a bit once I tried to go faster.
Comfort:
The ride was pretty comfortable :D
Looks: The digital console pretty cool!
*Reliability:
*I wish the XCD came with puncture resistant tyre like the Hondas.
One great feature the XCD is that unlike other bikes, the headlight doesn’t dim at low engine speeds. Also it has got an auto choke which is very handy.
