How they feel
The 450S is light, low and eager. It changes direction quickly, its rear disc brake gives more confidence when braking hard, and it pulls harder above 50 km/h. The Rizta S feels calmer and more upright, and its long seat and flat floor make it easier to live with for errands and passengers.
The deciding question
Does someone ride pillion more than twice a week, or do you regularly carry shopping? If yes, the Rizta S — the 450S's seat and 22-litre boot will annoy you. If no, and you enjoy the ride itself, the 450S is the more rewarding scooter.
Price check
At ex-showroom prices the Rizta S is around ₹14,000 cheaper. Both share the same 7-inch DeepView display, the same battery choices and the same warranty terms, so the money is mostly buying the 450S's performance and brakes.
