Participants go through a safety briefing before going out for a ride on the track. The safety brief aims to enable them to understand the capabilities of the bike and learn safe riding habits. The specially curated tracks include obstacles that test the features of the XPulse 200.
After Delhi/NCR and Chennai, the event will be held in Bangalore, Kochi and Pune.
