While cruisers are generally believed to offer great comfort due to their sofa-like seating position, in reality, especially on Indian roads, the opposite is often true. With your hands and legs stretched far forward, your back bears most of the impact from the road surface.
If rider comfort is your top priority, an adventure bike would be a better choice because of its neutral and spacious rider triangle and long-travel suspension.
In this category, you can consider two options: the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 and either of the KTM 390 Adventure models. If you plan to ride mostly on roads, stick to the lower X variant of the KTM. We recommend a thorough test ride before deciding, as both bikes are tall and heavy, the Royal Enfield more so than the KTM.
