My solid and superb machine gladiator rs

I done **13200kms** so far overall the bike is really good, earlier I was having **p180**, Because of vibration I shifted to glady. Before I go for glady I have done a small research about all 125cc bikes, finally I decided to bye glady hence I am field executive I couldn’t able to go for 150cc bikes. Because I need minimum 50- 60 millage. What ever we tune 150cc bikes will give millage of 45-50 only. If we tune for more the engine will die within 2yrs.


*1.no vibrations:*


After unicorn & karishma, this is the only bike having very very minimal vibration, sound which come from silencer is really good. Engine sound also good, in 125 segment we cant compare this bike with any other in terms of smoothness.


*2.pickup:*


Good pickup like 150cc bikes. That too after 40kmph pickup is really good, but to reach 40kmph its been taking time.


*3.handling:*


Handling is good. We can cut the traffic easily, breaking is good even with 3.00-18 Tyre, initially I thought it wont be good with 3.00-18 tyre.(i changed the back break shoe at 11000kms) but it is really good.it offers a great cornering.


*4.millage:*


If u drive gently with the speed of 40 - 55 kmph in chennai city it gives**54-57kmp**l, if you are drive it normally also it will give **50-54kmpl**. For me it is a really good millage because my earlier bike p180 used to give 40-42 only(that is the maximum for a 180cc engine).


*5.speed:*


Top speed it achieves 107kmph without any vibrations its really good. It wont happened with most of the bikes. Most of the 150cc bikes start vibrates once it reaches 80kmph.


*6.gearshift:*


I can say international quality. Really good like karishma and unicorn. Because this bikes having good gear shift quality.


*small cons:*


1.no trip meter


2.front mud guard is very height. So it making me dirty in rainy seasons.


3.center stand is not stable like my old pulsars180.


4.horn sound is not good like my p180.( but I changed it)


5.we cannot remove seat easily. Like all bikes


*small tips**:


1.if you have a idea to bye this bike pls change horn(ROOTS(2 no) horn is good costing rs580 with musical cutter in Chennai)


2.companies crash guard is not looks good, go for single and twisted one costing rs150 in outside


3.if you will drive more than 100kms per day better you change the handle bar. Because it has little bit sporty(Honda **stunner** bar is costing Rs210 I changed it)


*Till date service cost**:


1.First 4 free service I paid only for the engine oil. Rs220/- each time. - Rs880/-

  1. At first paid service I paid Rs520/- that inclusive of break shoe change and tail light replacement.
