Kinetic Boss 115
Kinetic Boss 115 was an effort by Kinetic to add more value to the entry-level segment of the bike market. With higher engine capacity and greater power in bhp, the Boss 115 added performance dimension to the economy section. It performance in the economy segment has been quite impressive.

Looks and Styling
The bike has stylish features like headlamp fairing, cool colors, distinctive rear end, the unique flat footboard for the pillion and a smarter set of clocks. One also gets chromed mudguard, rubber covers for the fork tubes, bottom-drawer switch gear, handle lock that is disintegrated with the ignition switch, no fuel gauge and one rear-view mirror. The company has done a lot to improve the looks and style of Kinetic Boss, and this shows.

Control and Comfort
The dual tube cradle frame ensures a comfortable ride in the potholed roads of rural hinterland. Regarding braking, Boss is available with industry standard drums at the front and rear. However, there is room of improvement here. It has front mud guard in ABS body color and stylish front fairing. An all round footrest add to the comfort of pillion rider. Its rectangular box-type swing arm gives more stability for riding.

Its big wheel base provides extra support to the bike. Its MFR headlamp results ensure secure riding even during the night time. The seat is comfortable and long journey don’t bother on it. However, one part which let it down are brakes, for they take longer time than the bikes of same segment to stop.
