From Honda CB350 to RE Classic 350: Here are the most affordable cruiser bikes available in India
Here are the most affordable cruiser bikes in India Cruiser motorcycles have been synonymous with easy, long-distance cruising ever since with characteristic low-profile silhouettes and laid-back ergonomics. While high-end cruisers tend to exceed the ₹ 10 lakh price point, several affordable alternatives from the Indian two-wheeler industry exist that still provide that quintessential cruiser experience—on a budget. If you're in the market to purchase a cruiser motorbike, here are the most affordable options in the market currently. 1 TVS Ronin View Offers View More Details TVS Ronin is a cruiser with an urban twist, for riders who seek street-friendly dynamics in a cruiser package. Its small proportions are combined with a 225.9cc oil-cooled, single-cylinder engine that produces 20.1 bhp and 19.9 Nm of torque. The motorcycle features a 5-speed gearbox and slip-and-assist clutch for smoother transmissions. The new version introduces dual-channel ABS to the mid-version, with the top-end model keeping upscale touches such as digital instrumentation and Bluetooth functionality. The prices for the Ronin vary from ₹ 1.35 lakh to ₹ 1.73 lakh (ex-showroom). 2 Royal Enfield Classic 350 View Offers View More Details The Classic 350 is still a great choice for cruiser fans who enjoy classic looks and reliable mechanisms. The bike is powered by Royal Enfield's 349cc J-series engine which makes 20.2 bhp and 27 Nm of torque, paired to a 5-speed gearbox. Key features include a round LED headlamp, digital-analogue cluster, USB-C charging, and the brand's Tripper navigation pod (on select variants). Priced between ₹ 1.93 lakh and ₹ 2.30 lakh (ex-showroom), the Classic 350 remains a compelling mix of old-school charm and everyday usability. 3 Honda CB350 View Offers View More Details Honda's entry into the retro-cruiser space came with the CB350, a motorcycle that leans heavily on clean lines and minimalistic design. It houses a 348cc single-cylinder engine that generates 20.7 bhp and 29.5 Nm. Like its rivals, the CB350 also uses a 5-speed transmission. Despite its modest looks, it's equipped with modern tech like Honda's voice-controlled Bluetooth system on higher trims.

Royal Enfield Hunter 350 vs rivals: Comparing pricing and specifications
The TVS Ronin is one of the most direct challengers to the Hunter 350. Earlier this year, the Ronin received a significant update that included two new colour options, dual-channel ABS for the mid-variant, and subtle cosmetic tweaks like smoked headlamp surrounds, a revised seat, and a tidier rear mudguard. It is powered by a 225 cc oil-cooled engine producing 20.1 bhp and 19.93 Nm, paired with a 6-speed transmission. The Ronin is priced competitively between ₹ 1.35 lakh and ₹ 1.73 lakh (ex-showroom), offering a strong value proposition. Honda's CB350RS is a sportier version of the CB350 platform, designed to appeal to younger riders. It features shortened mudguards, a ribbed seat, an LED headlight, and bright colour options to give it a youthful, dynamic presence. It uses the same 348 cc single-cylinder engine as the standard CB350, tuned to deliver 20.7 bhp and 30 Nm of torque—slightly more than the Hunter 350. However, it sits in a higher price bracket, retailing between ₹ 2.16 lakh and ₹ 2.19 lakh (ex-showroom). Rumours suggest Honda may be working on a more direct rival to the Hunter, but its arrival isn't expected soon. If you're after retro charm with modern power, the Triumph Speed T4 is a strong contender. With neo-retro styling and a 399 cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine delivering 30.6 bhp and 36 Nm, it offers a more spirited performance compared to the Hunter. The bike also features a solid chassis and a deep, distinct exhaust note. Following a recent price revision, the Speed T4 is now available at ₹ 1.99 lakh (ex-showroom), making it an even more compelling alternative in the segment. The Jawa Forty Two blends vintage aesthetics with modern engineering, making it another retro-themed competitor. It is powered by a 294 cc engine that puts out 27 bhp and 26 Nm, mated to a 6-speed gearbox. With its relaxed ergonomics and engaging dynamics, the Forty Two offers a balanced ride experience. Priced between ₹ 1.75 lakh and ₹ 2.01 lakh (ex-showroom), it competes closely with the Hunter 350 in both features and pricing.

2025 Royal Enfield Hunter 350 vs rivals: Price Comparison
Royal Enfield recently updated its most accessible offering, the Hunter 350, with a host of changes for the new model year. The 2025 Royal Enfield Hunter 350 starts from ₹1.50 lakh (ex-showroom) and gets new colours, more features, and a much-needed updated rear suspension. The bike is one of the top sellers for the company, and the latest updates are only expected to increase its popularity even further. But what else does the 2025 Royal Enfield Hunter 350 compete against? Let's take a look. The closest rival to the Hunter 350, the TVS Ronin, also received a comprehensive update earlier this year. The bike received two new colours, dual-channel ABS on the mid-spec variant, and visual tweaks including blacked-out headlamp surrounds, revised seat, and a slimmer rear mudguard. The bike continues to draw power from the 225 cc oil-cooled motor tuned for 20.1 bhp and 19.93 Nm, paired with a 6-speed gearbox. The Ronin is priced from ₹1.35 lakh, going up to ₹1.73 lakh (ex-showroom). ₹ 1.5 - 1.82 Lakhs Offers Expiring soon ₹ 1.74 - 2.18 Lakhs Offers Expiring soon ₹ 1.93 - 2.3 Lakhs Offers Expiring soon ₹ 1.5 Lakhs Onwards Offers Expiring soon ₹ 2 - 2.18 Lakhs Offers Expiring soon ₹ 1.73 - 1.98 Lakhs Offers Expiring soon (Also read: 2025 Royal Enfield Hunter 350 launched: Here's what all is new) The sportier iteration based on the CB350 platform, the Honda CB350RS gets chopped mudguards, ribbed seat, an LED headlamp, and brighter colours that add to its youthful appeal. It draws power from the same 348 cc single-cylinder motor tuned for 20.7 bhp and 30 Nm of peak torque, making it slightly more powerful than the Hunter 350. Much like the Hunter, the CB350RS is also targeted at younger buyers but the Honda neo-retro commands a premium pricing starting at ₹2.16 lakh, going up to ₹2.19 lakh (ex-showroom). Rumour has it that Honda is developing a RE Hunter rival based on the CB350, but the model is still some time away from launch. Bringing the neo-retro looks with modern performance, the Triumph Speed T4 promises the best of both at a highly attractive price. It packs the familiar 399 cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled motor tuned for more torque, producing 30.6 bhp and 36 Nm. The Speed T4 benefits from a promising chassis, bassy exhaust note and a recent price correction. This means the Triumph Speed T4 is now priced at ₹1.99 lakh (ex-showroom), bringing it closer to the Royal Enfield Hunter 350's territory. (Also read: 2024 Triumph Speed T4 first ride review: Cost-cut or a steal deal?) For those looking at a fun retro machine, the Jawa Forty Two fits the bill as much as the Hunter 350 does. The bike stays true to the retro looks, albeit with a modern heart. The 294 cc motor produces 27 bhp and 26 Nm of peak torque, paired with a 6-speed gearbox. The Forty Two balances easy riding with sporty handling, bringing some fun to the modern-classic space. The Jawa 42 is priced from ₹1.75 lakh, going up to ₹2.01 lakh (ex-showroom), bringing it in the same space as the Hunter 350.
