It has features like USB charging under the sear, built in immobilizer (only VX variant), luggage hooks even in rear but as an option in LX variant, 12 inch front wheel with MRF Nylogrip tubeless tyres has nice feedback on almost every surface, what it misses is the front disc brake, at least Hero could have offered it in the premium Variant but it has been offered with integrated braking which is better known as CBS (Combined Braking System) in scooters from Honda's stable.
