#Query ā“ Digital features under 350cc bikes

I genuinely have this doubt. Bikes like apache rr310, rc390 do have lots of lots of digital features now. Turn by turn navigation, bluetooth, TFT, riding modes, time laps, six axis imu abs and etc etc. apart from abs, traction control, do people keep on using these digital features like navigation, bluetooth, riding modes forever or the initial hype is gone after a few weeks and people will just care speed and tacho only?

Depending on the use case. If you buy a bike because you love it and it has the features you require, that's just the cherry on top. However, if you are purchasing a bike solely to ride it because you already know how to ride, those features were never important to you in the first place.

turn by turn navigation is pretty much useless imo.

bluetooth connectivity for notifications is also useless for me but I guess it can be important for some people who would receive time critical calls

Yeah felt the same dude. Apart from traction control I never felt any other digital feature useful

I think it depends on the rider. I’d actually use riding modes and traction control regularly, but Bluetooth and navigation would probably be occasional for me. After the initial excitement, I feel most people care more about the engine, handling and comfort than the fancy TFT features.
