Bikes go matte

Theres a new trend with the Indian biking arena. Bikes are losing their bling. From a phase when we had retina scorching colours and stainless steel trimmings, the newer bikes, notably the Apache, CBZ Extreme seem to be muted and matte.

The Apache for example has matte finished wheel spokes and a not so metallic red or black trim. The CBZ Xtreme too has muted trims. Makes them look good, I must say.
