The season has somehow arrived early, or god has answered prayers who were asking for some relief from scorching heat. As the dark clouds roll in, the season brings scenic rides on the wet roads. It feels thrilling yet concerning at the same time due to waterlogged roads, slippery patches, and unexpected potholes. To conquer all the challenges, a trusted set of wheels is supposed to be here to make every ride worth it. Perfect Bikes In Monsoon If you are planning to get yourself a motorcycle during this monsoon season, and wants to leave behind all the weather-related worries. Then do not worry, we have got your back. In this article, we have listed the top bikes that can handle the Indian monsoon without breaking a sweat and bank balance either. Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 Name it and this off-roader will have it. Ever since the model was launched in India, it has captured most of the mass audience, a big thanks to its aggressive style and decent price range. It can be purchased at Rs 2.85 lakh, while the top model goes up to Rs 2.98 lakh (all ex-showroom). The vehicle has been created specially to tackle terrains, where a normal bike in the same segment is afraid to reach. Himalayan 450 is equally confident in the monsoon as it is on rough terrains in Leh Ladakh. Its long-travel suspension, grippy dual-purpose tyres, and torque-heavy engine make it a rain-ready beast for both city and touring. TVS Apache RTR 200 4V This offering can be safely considered monsoon-friendly as it comes with multiple riding modes and offers dual-channel ABS. These elements are enough to give the riders complete confidence to reach any corner or cover any distance without second thoughts in their head. It also comes with a high-quality build that holds up well in prolonged moisture exposure. The company has launched the model at the starting price of Rs 1.50 lakh (ex-showroom). Under this price range, it gets a 197.75cc engine that generates a maximum power of 20.2 bhp at 8500 rpm and a peak torque of 18.1 Nm at 7000 rpm. Suzuki V-Strom SX 250 Priced at Rs 2.13 lakh (ex-showroom), the Suzuki V-Strom SX 250 could be a wise yet smart choice under the 249cc segment. The motorcycle is a perfect blend of style and performance, which is well-suited for slippery highways and rain-soaked trails. Honda CB350 H'ness Last but not least, the CB350. It is a modern classic with a refined engine and road manners. Although it is not an off-roader, but offers well-balanced dynamics with a rooted riding experience even on rainy days. It has been priced at Rs 2.14 lakh (ex-showroom). First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's. Please keep discussions respectful and constructive.
