Alongside an information display screen, an odometer, fuel gauge, tachometer, and a tripmeter form the part of the digital console. An arch bar truck type of body frame houses a dual-stepped seat on the top. Undoubtedly, the stepped seat does a great favor to the already enhanced outlook of the two-wheeler. Moreover, the bike runs on radial tires with overall 17-inch wheel size, both at the front and the back.

A wheelbase of 1,270 mm makes it a lengthy street-runner. Nonetheless, it is still more than comfortable for riders of any height, owing to the fair 760 mm of seat height. Its entire body gets a nice weight distribution and has an overall kerb weight of 117 kg.

Dwelling more into the comfort zone, the two-wheeler gets telescopic fork suspensions both for the front and the rear. This traditional suspension has been revamped much to offer a smooth ride on irregular and bumpy roads.

To its core, the RKS 150 GS is powered by an OHV single-cylinder 4-Stroke air-cooled engine with 2 valves. This mill has 149.4cc of displacement and can churn out a maximum power of 12.74 hp and a peak torque of 11 Nm. The maximum power and torque come with a rev range of 7,550 rpm and 6,000 rpm respectively.

A powerful ride with a satisfactory comfort is desirable, but what’s imperative for every rider is a powerful braking system. To welcome its owners, the RKS 150 GS equips a disc brake for the front wheel, a vital component for any sports bike. The rear wheels are bestowed with drum brakes, which is enough to do an admirable job. However, the absence of ABS to a fair extent compromises with safety.

However, if you are addling between this two-wheeler and any other bike over safety, you will probably result in choosing the other. The absence of ABS, side reflectors and a few key safety features in this bike is explicitly compromising.
