If you are planning to buy your first motorcycle in the 350cc segment, there is no better time than now. With the GST cut, bike prices have dropped significantly, making 350cc motorcycles in India not only affordable, but also more feature-loaded and powerful. The segment is particularly popular among riders who want a classic look, smooth riding experience and long ride comfort in their budget.
Royal Enfield Hunter 350
The list starts with the Royal Enfield Hunter 350, India’s cheapest 350cc bike. This bike is the cheapest option in the 350cc segment, with an X-showroom price starting at just ₹1.37 lakhs. Hunter’s design is compact, modern and quite aggressive — making it particularly popular among young urban riders. It has LED headlight, slip-assist clutch, USB Type-C charging port and updated rear suspension for better ride quality.
Speaking of performance, its 349cc air-oil-cooled engine gives 20.2 bhp and 27 Nm of torque. With a five-speed gearbox, this bike offers smooth performance and clean throttle response. With a mileage of approximately 36 km / l and a low curb weight of 181 kg, Hunter delivers excellent handling in city traffic. Dual-channel ABS makes it even safer. If you need the perfect combination of style and being affordable, the Hunter 350 is the best option.
Royal Enfield Bullet 350
At number two is India’s iconic cruiser bike — Royal Enfield Bullet 350. The price of its base model starts at ₹1.62 lakhs. This bike is perfect for those who want a classic riding experience. The 349cc J-Series engine is the same as the Hunter — 20.2 bhp and torque of 27 Nm. But, the feeling of bullet riding is different and more royal, with its signature thump, straight seating and strong grip on the road.
The bullet has forward disc brakes and rear drum brakes, as well as single-channel ABS. Its six color options — battalion black and military red — give the bike a truly classic vibe. If you need a comfortable ride on long paths, or a bike that gets everyone’s attention, the Bullet 350 is an Evergreen Choice.
Jawa 350
The Jawa 350 is the most expensive of the three, but it is quite luxurious in both specifications and style. Its initial X-showroom price is ₹2.15 lakhs. It has a 334cc, liquid-cooled engine that gives torque of 22.3 bhp and 28.1 Nm — which makes it slightly more powerful than both the rest. Mileage is about 30–32 km / l, which is fine according to this segment.
In terms of design, Jawalooks unique with its retro-modern look, split seat and small fender. Its riding position is a bit sporty, making it fun on the city’s traffic and winding roads. Features such as dual-channel ABS, LED lighting, digital consoles and wide rear tires make it a modern-class motorcycle.
