👎 Common Drawbacks
⚠ No Rear Disc or ABS
This basic Disc variant doesn’t have a rear disc brake and typically lacks ABS, which is an important safety feature on modern bikes.
⚠ Suspension & Comfort
-
Suspension tends to be a bit firm on rough roads.
-
Pillion seating comfort isn’t great for long rides. (common across many Gixxer variants)
⚠ Ground Clearance & Features

Some reviews note ground clearance feels modest for rough surfaces.
-
Lacks premium features like USD (upside-down) forks or smartphone connectivity.
⚠ Power vs Segment Rivals
While adequate for commuting, the 13.6–14 PS power output is slightly lower than some competitors’ 160–165 cc bikes, which may feel quicker.
