The legendary italian brand, Benelli, brought to India by the Pune based DSK group as DSK-Benelli India added another feather to its cap last week when it reached what is believed to be by many as the highest motorable village - Komik in the Spiti Valley of Himachal Pradesh India.
Situated at 4587 meters above sea level, Komik (also written as Kaumik) is definitely one of the highest motorable villages in the world, if not the highest. The road that goes to from Kaza in Spiti valley is a nightmare for any vehicle, be it a 4x4 SUV or a motorcycle, and that makes reaching Komik a real challenge for a motorcycle as well as the motorcyclist. What makes matters worse is the low level of oxygen at such an altitude that makes breathing a difficult task for the bike as well as the biker.
The Benelli TNT 300 ridden by Anirban Banerjee, an xBhpian from Kolkata, performed flawlessly during this treacherous journey and felt completely at home.
