Comfort

When talking about comfort, look no further. Ignitor is really comfortable for long and short trips. In comfort department, its truly made for commuting. Enough padded wide seats, raised handlebar allows for a very relaxed seating position. You need not to lean forward, which I really like. Well it's not like I have any problem reaching for handlebars in bikes like R15 or other. With my height of 5'10" it's no issue. I just don’t like bending my spine even a little bit.

Discussing about height reminded me of knee space on tank. Any guy(or girl) till 6' height can easily tuck his/her knees around tank, which is in fact neatly designed. Footpegs are a little behind in comparison to other commuter bikes to give it a sporty appearance. Still they are comfortable, even for daily 50-100 km commuting.

Now the pillion seat;

My Mom just HATE it.

It's good for youngsters, enjoying with friends, girlfriends, boyfriends, etc.

It's good for creating proper center of gravity while braking.

But Definitely it's problematic for Indian ladies with saree and for elderly people.

Also it may not be as much comfortable as riders seat for long rides.

The day HERO releases a 'Cruiser' bike, I am gonna buy it without thinking for a second. I don’t know why not any other manufacturer try to cash that segment. Avenger is the only bike in Indian market for comfortable pillion ride. Just create a bike like Avenger, throw an engine of 150cc with mileage of 50kmpl (like Hero Hunk or Honda Unicorn) and earn loads of cash. I am sure that will be a hit in India. Could become next splendor if designed carefully. Why no one creating something like that.

I would like to take my Grandmother for a bike ride man…!

Anyway, back to our Ignitor review;

Switches are nice with solid response. Top notch quality. I got big hands, so any switch is easy to tickle. Pass light, horn, light on-off, low-high beam, powerstart, etc. are positioned in right places. No engine kill switch though. It's could have been helpful in signals & heavy traffic. Anyway, turning off using keys works.

Choke is given below tank, beside petrol on-off-reserve switch.

In addition to powerstart, kick is also available. Stunner version has omitted that. Sometimes when battery is down, kick can save you from dragging your bike on foot for miles.

Multi reflector Light is great. Got pass light, hi-low beam feature and pilot lamp. Its strong and everything is easily visible. Its coverage area is better than 100cc bikes light, Covers wider area. Back light is bright red and strong. The bottom part of the back light is transparent, resulting in bright whitish yellow light on number plate and mudguard. Good for riders behind you to take notice. Indicators are transparent with orange lights inside and with a little rubbery joints. So they can handle little bruises.

Suspensions are good, at both ends. Not mono suspension good, but good. Nothing special to talk about. New bike, so good response from them. Not too soft or not too hard. Small potholes, bumps are nothing to worry about. Though while riding single with speed like 20kmph or above, on medium & big size speed breakers, bikes jumps a bit. Means they feel hard. While riding with pillion, they soak medium or big size speed breakers much better.
