Tech is no longer reserved for just high-end machines, it's trickling down fast. One of the most noticeable upgrades in recent years is the TFT display. TFTs are capable of displaying vibrant colours and sharper contrast while showcasing an array of information. Unlike basic LCDs that stick to static layouts and segmented readouts, TFT displays can incorporate animations and cycle between various pages, typically in much higher resolution. Here, we have curated a list of all the bikes under Rs 2 lakh that offer this feel-good feature.
