Is 660mm too wide for city riding in India?

For some riders in narrow-lane Indian cities, 660mm may feel wide. It can be safely trimmed down to 620–640mm by cutting 20mm from each end — this is a common modification. Keep the original width for trails and trim for city use.

What is the difference between a flat bar and a riser bar?

A flat bar (like the TK Flat) is straight with zero rise — it sits level with the stem clamp. A riser bar curves upward by 15–40mm from the stem clamp. Risers create a more upright posture; flat bars create a slightly more aggressive forward lean suitable for XC and hybrid riding.
