Regarding service of the bike, Carberry says it can be done with the help of a local mechanic as it shares most of the components with Royal Enfield bikes. The company can also advise the mechanic on techniques and procedures, or it can be returned to them for a factory build (for Indian customers only). Otherwise, Carberry can send out a mechanic to the customer’s place. Customer will have to bear the transportation cost.

The bike competes with the Triumph Street Twin and the Harley Davidson Iron 883 in the segment. The fact that this motorcycle is hand-built sets it apart from the rest.
