Breaking: Keeway V302C Cruiser Launched In India At Rs 3,89,000

It is more or less a rebranded Benda BD300

Keeway has launched the Benda V302C cruiser in India with prices starting at Rs 3,89,000 and going up to Rs 4,09,000 (ex-showroom India). The Benda V302C cruiser has the potential to beat the Honda Rebel 300 in terms of outright performance. Keeway recently entered the Indian market with the K-Light 250V cruiser, Vieste 300 and Sixties 300i.

When you get right to it, the Keeway Benda V302C is a rebranded Benda BD300 and gets the same muscular and stunning body design. It gets a high-rise bulky fuel tank, a mid-rise handlebar and a solid frame that makes it look pretty and aggressive at the same time. It also comes packed with a classy round headlight, and oh, it gets all-LED lighting.

In terms of powertrain, the Benda V302C is powered by a 298cc, V-twin, liquid-cooled engine that produces 29.9PS and 26.5Nm. It gets a belt drive system that is paired to a six-speed gearbox. The Benda BD300, for reference, produces 30.5PS and 25.3Nm.

The Chinese motorcycle features some premium underpinnings like a USD fork and dual shock absorber suspension setup. For braking, it gets a 300mm disc up front and a 240mm disc at the rear with the safety net of dual channel ABS.

When it comes to features, the Keeway Benda V302C comes packed with a circular digital instrument cluster that features a speedometer, tachometer, odometer and a gear position indicator.

The Keeway Benda V302C does not have any direct rivals but can be considered to go up against the likes of Royal Enfield Meteor 350 and Yezdi Roadster, and is significantly more expensive than both.
