Best Adventure Bikes Under Rs. 3 Lakh – Biking in India has recently acquired mass appeal, and more and more people today are finding that they do not want to restrict themselves not only to city roads but also to rural ones. For the younger rider or someone looking for occasional short-provisioned getaways with friends or family, anything less than a comfortable long-distance motorcycle that feels easily capable of tackling rough terrain and feels like power cruising the highways does not fit the bill at all. Many of these companies now have their adventure bikes below Rs. 3lakh, which were hitherto confined to the chosen paddle. This article will discuss the most dependable, comfortable, and practical for highway touring.

Royal Enfield Himalayan 450

Upon its launch, the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 stands in the way of asserting that the Indian adventure bike market has reached a new apogee. It has its character with the new liquid-cooled engine. The consensus is that the bike feels very stable on highways, with no vibrations transmitted to the rider even at cruising speeds of 100-110 km/h. The suspension is tuned so that a rider should be able to comfortably ride 300-400 km in a single day.
It is most comfortable for long rides, and upright riding is easy on the back and shoulders. On a bonus, height could lie more towards good during hard times with pothole-ridden roads. Be it rock beds, potholes, or an irregular surface, the Himalayan 450 swallows it all with even the smallest sign of trouble. A wonderful companion for tours for those who adore the mountains of India, the IRGs, or other fun trails.

KTM Adventure 250

KTM 250 Adventure has always been the favourite of riders who wanted at least a bit of sportiness to their tours. This bike is light and highly agile; on the highways, the 250 engine felt really sporty. The engine works quite well at cruising speeds of 90-100 km/h, providing decent riding comfort. The gear shift feels quite soft, and acceleration is linear, which in turn makes overtaking easy.
Suspension tuning may feel a little stiff, but it surely keeps the bike grounded on highways. Confidence in corners was felt more so than on some of the other adventure bikes. The seat might feel a touch hard on the backside, but it surely keeps the rider in place during long distances. Fuel economy is the extra feather in the cap for budget-conscious riders wishing to clock big kilometres; for this rider, the bike is well-suited for anyone who seriously loves screeching on the highway with some off-pavement fun.

Suzuki V-Strom SX 250

Some of the calmest and most sorted-out motorcycles of this category, the Suzuki V-Strom SX 250 has powerful engine refinements guiding many riders to come for more at the first try. It neither assaults nor is lethargic: perfectly mated. The motorcycle stays steady and confident at a constant speed of 100 kilometres per hour on the highway. Its refinement cuts a lot for the long haul, providing less vibration and thus less fatigue.
The suspension set below is plush enough to soak up the bumps of such roads. Seat comfort guarantees body stability even on simple cross-country stretches. Yet another aspect considered among the best in this bike category is fuel efficiency.

Thus, the highway would see fewer refuelling breaks and even more travel time on uninterrupted stretches, thus determining its practicality. Quite suitable for those with an equable style of riding, who just love comfort and refinement.
