Shoot Out
 Bajaj Boxer CT vs Hero Honda Joy vs Yamaha Crux-R
 Fuel Economy & Verdict

Here the figures speak for themselves. The Boxer surges ahead as it proved in the recent 10 bike Fuel Efficiency test. The four parameters, which include a best and worst, were indeed an eye-opener. The Boxer registered an amazing 91.47kpl. The Joy a creditable 82.93kpl and the Crux-R was close with 75.3kpl. When ridden hard to obtain the measured test results, the worst that the Boxer dropped to was 51.38kpl and the both the Crux-r and the Joy slipped to below 50kpl, with the Joy maintaining its edge over the Crux-R with 49kpl to 46kpl for the Yamaha. The Boxer's highway and city figures of 68.5 and 62.3kpl bring its overall figure to 68.3kpl. the Crux-R's better highway 68.6kpl and city 56.1kpl raises the overall average to 61.5kpl marginally superior to the Joy's highway 58.6kpl and city 55kpl and overall 61.3kpl.

 All three are high achievers but the Boxer stays ahead of the game.
 
THE AUTOCAR INDIA VERDICT
The Joy draws on its 'Splendor' variant image to stake its claim for recognition, the cosmetics and styling may not elicit too many admiring glances but the faith in the ever- enduring engine has been set in stone. Poor braking and lacklustre handling erode its chances against the Boxer and the Crux-R. The Crux-R succeeds in obliterating the memories of the ill- fated YBX by its hugely improved Performance in all aspects. If only Yamaha could have priced it closer to the Boxer, this story might have had a different ending. With such close similarities existing between the three motorcycles on most counts, it is only the superior braking and the seamless responses of the Boxer that help it stay ahead in terms of on-road Performance, but factor in the Fuel Efficiency and the all- important purchase price and the Boxer renders this into a no-contest.
