In today’s two-wheeler market, features are no longer just an add-on – they’re often the deciding factor for buyers. Motorcycles are increasingly expected to offer advanced tech that makes riding safer, more comfortable, and more convenient. Among these, cruise control has become one of the most desirable features for long-distance riders, allowing them to relax their right hand on endless highway stretches.
Interestingly, cruise control is no longer restricted to premium tourers; even entry-level commuters are beginning to offer it. Here’s a list of the 10 most affordable motorcycles in India that come factory-fitted with cruise control, ranging from a ₹90,000 commuter to high-capacity sport tourers.
1. Hero Glamour X – ₹90,000 – 1 lakh
India’s most affordable motorcycle with cruise control, the Hero Glamour X, has broken new ground in the commuter segment. It comes with ride-by-wire throttle technology, three riding modes (Eco, Road, and Power), and cruise control – a feature unheard of in this price range. For office-goers who spend long hours on the highway, this is an unexpectedly practical option.
2. TVS Apache RTR 310 – ₹2.50 lakh
TVS has packed its naked flagship with segment-first features, including cornering cruise control, which automatically adjusts speed depending on the lean angle. This makes it more than just a highway-friendly tool – it’s an advanced rider’s companion that blends sporty dynamics with convenience.
3. TVS Apache RR 310 – ₹2.78 lakh
The faired sibling of the RTR 310, the Apache RR 310, offers the same level of tech in a more aerodynamic and touring-oriented package. With cruise control now part of its extensive features list, the RR 310 becomes an even more versatile sportbike for riders who want style, speed, and comfort in equal measure.
4. KTM 390 Duke – ₹2.95 lakh
KTM recently updated the 390 Duke with a larger 399cc engine and a host of new tech. Cruise control was initially missing, but it has since been added, making the Duke 390 more touring-friendly without taking away its aggressive streetfighter persona.
5. KTM 390 Adventure – ₹3.68 lakh
The latest 390 Adventure is now equipped with cruise control as standard, instantly boosting its long-distance touring credentials. This makes it the most affordable true-blue adventure tourer in India to offer the feature, giving budget-conscious explorers an edge on highways.
6. Brixton Cromwell 1200 – ₹7.84 lakh
This retro-inspired modern classic is powered by a 1,200cc engine and comes with a neat package of rider aids, including cruise control. While its old-school spoke wheels and tubed tyres can be a downside for touring, the Cromwell delivers a blend of style and practicality that appeals to classic motorcycle lovers.
7. Triumph Bonneville T120 – ₹11.09 lakh
Few motorcycles capture the essence of timeless design like the Bonneville T120. Beneath its vintage looks, however, sits modern tech – ride-by-wire, rider modes, and cruise control. Perfect for those who want to enjoy highway journeys without compromising on style, though the tube-type tyres remain a small drawback.
8. BMW F 900 XR – ₹12.55 lakh
BMW’s middleweight sport tourer combines agility with long-distance comfort. The F 900 XR gets cruise control as part of its rider-focused package, along with a tall stance, comfortable ergonomics, and sporty intent – making it suitable for both enthusiastic riders and mile munchers.
9. Kawasaki Versys 1100 – ₹12.90 lakh
Built for long-distance comfort, the Versys 1100 is the relaxed alternative to its sportier sibling, the Ninja. With plush ergonomics, good ground clearance, and cruise control as standard, it’s a touring workhorse for those who want reliability and refinement on Indian highways.
10. Kawasaki Ninja 1100SX – ₹13.49 lakh
At the top end of this list sits the Ninja 1100SX – a sport tourer with the heart of a superbike and the practicality of a grand tourer. Its ergonomics are more relaxed than its aggressive styling suggests, and cruise control ensures it’s as comfortable on long road trips as it is thrilling on winding stretches.
Conclusion
From the ₹90,000 Hero Glamour X commuter to the ₹13.5 lakh Kawasaki Ninja 1100SX tourer, the availability of cruise control has spread across almost every segment in India. Whether you’re a daily commuter looking for convenience or a serious tourer chasing cross-country adventures, there’s now a motorcycle with cruise control to match your budget.
