Hey @motorinc I love your content. You have the best real Indian automotive content. Please don't lock the videos that people actually want to watch under a pay wall. If you can't make it free. It's still fine, everyone needs passive income. At least make the pricing of the All Access Tier.. accessible. The All Access Tier is the one to get coz that's where good stuff is. But Rs.399 per month is just too high. Even streaming services don't have this level of pricing.

My god! The Review is close to how the rider would actually feel while taking a spin on this bike. He knows so well how to put most of those feelings into words. This aptly gave me enough insights for me to go try this bike. Amazing review. Keep it up

Hey Motorinc team: Please do a video on a good, organised system to keep the cars and bikes maintenance in good condition. Do's and Donts. Recommended intervals. Any DIY help available? The more we work on our automobiles, the better we can connect with them. Also cover if new drivers (men and women) want to learn simple things like using puncture kit/tyre pressure monitoring etc,. how does one go about learning it? I find your content educative and practical. Thanks for everything you do.

This was so very well presented Shumi! Good on you! You can tell that every part of the review was thoroughly thought through and a lot of preparation and hard work went into it. There are "spec sheet reviewers", there are "low end mid range top speed" reviewers, there are also a few good reviewers and then there's guys like Shumi who are a cut above the rest. If you've rode the bike you'd resonate with almost everything Shumi said. The Mavrick is a slept-on motorcycle! The verdict was just genius man! Nothing describes the Mavrick better than it being Sylvanite!

[@rubenghosh]

Your script and writing is pure "Gold"..You can't help but have a smile on your face all throughout..The humour and sarcasm!! It's like the two wheels of your bike Shumi!!

[@Antonyeratt]

There's a new update making rounds. Please review that one as soon as they come out.

[@alexmercer3001]

But that's just USD forks buddy. IMHO USD forks just adds visual bulkiness. if the bike's engine has been retuned or any electronics added. It sure will make some difference if it is still priced the same. That's just me.

[@Antonyeratt]

@alexmercer3001 I don't expect it to improve anything in terms of performance. But it increases the desirability of the product. See it as a correction than an actual facelift. It's only barely been 5-6 months since it came out. So this is not a facelift. So nothing more expected.

[@vivek_up_at_noon]

I had a test ride of Maverick, and I really liked it. It was going to be my choice over the Classic or the CB350. But I could not get over how un-designed or un-tastefully made, the tail section is, the grab rail, the pillion seat, especially the the exhaust, which is a big improvement from the PVC pipe like megaphone on the Harley counterpart. I truly believe if they just put 4-6 more weeks for the design alignment (not designing, but alignment), it would have been a different picture altogether. Definitely #SolitairewithUNO

Beautifully encapsulated story. I really like the wheels. I just can’t digest the rest of this bike’s design! I would place this in a garage with a KUV300. Both go in the hideousness hall of fame.

[@DayNNightBengali]

I'm gladly waiting for the facelift to come because they are making changes to the suspension, additional colour, filling the gap where Harley has buttons on the handle and changing the instrument cluster. And I've done a test drive also.

[@lalithkrishnaparagi4591]

This is probably one of Motorinc's best produced videos. Combined with Shumi's legendary commentary, I know exactly what the Mavrick is and I am continually entertained by the thoughts I take away. Motorinc is the most wise, and well produced motoring channel in India and, dare I say, a lot of the world.

[@vivekazad5620]

Lovely video as always. Motoring sound engineering team take a bow you guys. Loved the “as confusing as playing solitaire with uno cards” line.

I need to find a way to include a Shumi add-on pack to Microsoft Office purely for review comments. Great start to my Sunday Take care folks. Much love. ❤

[@indraprasad3835]

The bike has a strong resemblance to the HH Hunk in terms of design ( rider sits inside the bike and not on top of it with a confident rider triangle). This is more evident looking from the side angle. While I had the Hunk back in 2008, the only issue I had was it struggled post 100 kmph and can comfortably cruise all day long at 80 kmph. I always had a dream of getting a Hunk that can cruise at 100 kmph at low RPM. Glad that Hero did it with Mavrick

Concur 100% on this review. Had taken test ride of Maverick as part of my next motorcycle purchase recently. I liked the reasonably soft suspension, riding triangle and engine character. I am 6.1 height and this bike had good riding triangle amd ability to straddle (bad roads). Design was good but not desirable as you also mentioned it. The Triumph Scrambler 400x had better suspension and more desirability quotient and that's where I went finally

Karthik may have introduced me to @motorinc (featuring Volkswagen taigun, mentioning the "Star" or "Safety" rating of cars), but it was "ThisConnect" that truly kept me hooked to this channel. In fact, this is the only channel that has consistently fueled my passion for automobiles, keeping that flame of love for automobiles alive. What stands out is how this channel can make even a video about an "autorickshaw" (if any) captivating enough to watch till the very end-without ever feeling the need to speed it up! The content is not just engaging; it’s inspiring. When I’m capable of affording the membership, rest assured, I’ll be here for the long haul. The love I have for this channel or automobiles only grows deeper with time-though let’s be clear, this “enhanced love” isn’t about its size! Keep up the phenomenal work...❤❤❤

[@whatthehell5288]

I love this Channel ❤️❤️from buying advice to Shumi's dark humor , not as dark as Jawa's future though. But Hero doesn't honour the warranty,I have a 2020 Extreme 200s and I need to claim the warranty a few months back. Hero' s answer to that was you haven't serviced your bike every 3 months so we won't give you the warranty. Hero' s service and part availability for anything other than splendor is "maybe be available in a year" at best , the worst part being that the dealers being proud of it, that the bikes are so exclusive that part availability is a challenge 🤦🤦😂😂

[@nishantgurjar7232]

My relative purchased this bike a month ago and I have ridden for good 100 km and it was good - suspension was good, engine got go torque, is fairly refined and sounds good but it's looks leaves at lot to be desired. From front it reminds me of cb300r but from back ' I don't know ' . Those big shockers are the problem they stand out too much, it feels wierd to see them in such a big bike. He has installed two metal side bags, surprisingly the bike looks good 😅😅😅.

[@pseudonym9215]

i actually feel the Mavrick is a decent looking motorcycle. Better than way too busy bajaj or other hero bike style. The design has definitely grown on me. It has certain character to the way it looks, what that is? yet to be answered. But i feel it has the making of a classic modern Indian cruiser.

[@AIRMotovlogs]

My findings from a restrictive 15 mins test ride - the flatter exhaust pipe angle. That could have been an upswept one, which would have looked so much better on the design aesthetics part...and that big blank grey patch on the left hand side switch console, shouting out the Hero logo...

[@alexmercer3001]

I think Hero took inspiration from the Honda CB 300R, not that it is bad thing, but when you copy a design, you can't be lazy, you need to do some efforts which hero never did I suppose. In fact I really like the way this bike looks. A Neo retro themed bike is a craze for many like me. But we already have Husqvarna Svartpilen, Honda CB 250R for these., and they look already awesome. And someone who is willing to pay this much can spend a little extra and get the Harley. Finally we all want a bike that looks and feels special. If not what's the point in having all these different bike designs at all in the first place.

[@sahilmeena8018]

I guess design is subjective because lookswise apart from the tail section, the smallish drooping headlight, and the exhaust piping after the cat, I kind of like it 😅

[@SubhodeepSadhukhan1995]

How this bike looks certainly takes some people away from buying this. What do you think of the design of the new xtreme that just came out? Personally think there are too many angles and lines. What might look interesting at first might age quicker.

[@vsr5557]

Clip ons(for the messy wiring), a more classic headlight and a better seat design would do wonders

This bike is fantastic for those ride it in a city like Mumbai or bangalore. It will handle bad roads very easily. You get enough torque to overtake very easily. Headlight is the best part of this bike. It will light up the darkest corner of city with it's high intense bright head light system. Only you guys have to take care points like don't ride it in reserve tank capacity. Otherwise you will feel more handle bar and foot peg vibration. Engine heat wave will be felt on your feet. Bike will feel slow and you will not get satisfaction to ride this bike in reserve tank capacity. Bike will shine above reserve tank capacity. Other down fall of this bike is it's brake. It is not sharp. It will take few distance to stop. Be careful with it especially on highway or ghat section guys.

I went to a hero showroom, before I bought an RE. Wanted to at least try this one out. The sales person has zero interest in telling us anything about it. He just explained the prize and taxes and wasn't interested in sharing any details or specs for the bike.. when asked for a test ride he said you have to book it in advance. I have never been to a hero dealership, but I have been to RE, Honda bigwing, TVS and Bajaj and all were much more interested in talking to me. Probably the bike was too new for the team as well to be prepared for it, but at least the person should have some enthusiasm or interest when talking to a potential customer

(commenting before watching the video) Pretty sure this was designed in conjunction with Harley x440 which is why maverick is the way it is. Given how newer hero bikes are now designed (Xtreme, xmr etc), I'm pretty sure hero has restyling/reiteration plans for maverick (same engine, new chassis)
