Engine and Transmission:

The Keeway RKS 150 is equipped with a single-cylinder, 4-stroke, 148cc air-cooled engine that meets Euro-3 emissions standards, resulting in significantly reduced air pollution. It offers both self-start and kick-start options for convenience. The engine delivers a maximum power output of 13.8BHP at 9500rpm and a peak torque of 12.8Nm at 7500rpm. It's worth noting that the bike's maximum torque and power are achieved at relatively high RPMs, contributing to its fuel efficiency. Despite being carbureted, it manages to provide a fuel economy of approximately 35-38kmpl in city riding conditions and around 40-42kmpl on the highway.

It features a basic wet, multi-plate clutch and is equipped with a 5-speed gearbox that delivers power to the engine in a smooth and linear manner. The gear shifter includes both front and rear pedals to facilitate gear changes and prevent damage to footwear.

Brakes, Suspensions, and Wheels:

The Keeway RKS 150 is renowned as the best bike under 1.5 lakh in Bangladesh, featuring a dual-disc setup. Equipped with disc brakes both in the front and rear, this bike delivers optimal braking performance. While the front brakes impress with their effectiveness, the rear brake stands out due to its CBS system integration. This means that the rear brake pedal controls both the front and rear discs, enhancing overall braking performance. During the initial 500km, the CBS system may perform below expectations, but it significantly improves over time. While the brakes on the RKS 150 are satisfactory, there is room for enhancement in their performance.

The Keeway RKS 150 is equipped with telescopic forks in the front, providing effective suspension performance on rough roads. In contrast, the rear suspension is a mono-shock system that offers adjustability, although it might initially feel somewhat firm. However, its stiffness can be fine-tuned to your comfort.

This motorcycle features alloy wheels, with the front and rear wheels sporting 90/90 and 120/80 section tires, respectively. It's worth noting that the narrower rear tire could potentially lead to skidding in emergency braking situations. A wider tire, such as a 130/80, would have been a preferable choice for enhanced stability.

The Keeway RKS 150 is tailored for novice riders entering the scene. While it may not excel on the highways, it shines in everyday city commutes. This forgiving bike, equipped with CBS, an adaptable rear suspension, and a comfortably low saddle height, suits those who are still in the learning phase.
