The 350cc segment in India has grown significantly over the past few years, with more brands entering the space and offering a wider range of motorcycles than ever before. So, if you are looking for the most affordable options in this segment, here are some of the bikes that you should consider in 2026.
All prices mentioned are ex-showroom, Delhi, and the bikes are listed in ascending order of price.
Royal Enfield Hunter 350
Rs 1.38-1.70 lakh
The Hunter 350 is a compact roadster made for riders who want the signature Royal Enfield character but in a lighter, city-friendly form. It is the lightest model in the entire petrol-powered Royal Enfield lineup, weighing 181kg, and with a seat height of 790mm, it feels approachable and easy to manage for most riders. The motorcycle is powered by the relaxed and refined J-series 349cc, air-cooled engine that produces 20hp and 27Nm, paired with a five-speed gearbox. The Hunter 350 comes equipped with a semi-digital instrument cluster with a gear indicator, a USB Type-C charging port, and an LED headlight.
Royal Enfield Bullet 350
Rs 1.60-2.02 lakh
The Bullet 350 is one of the most recognisable motorcycles on Indian roads, and the Bullet nameplate has been around for nearly a century now. It is powered by the same 349cc air-cooled engine as other RE 350s, making 20hp and 27Nm, paired with a five-speed gearbox. Unlike the Classic, the Bullet gets a higher handlebar and a better-padded single-piece seat, which should make it more comfortable on longer rides. Weighing 195kg, it is one of the heavier bikes on this list, which could make it a handful in slow-moving traffic or when moving it around in a parking lot for some riders. This Royal Enfield bike comes equipped with a USB Type-C charging port and a Tripper navigation pod, available as an accessory, for turn-by-turn navigation.
Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z
Rs 1.80 lakh
The Pulsar NS400Z might be the antithesis to the laidback Hunter and it is powered by a 349cc liquid-cooled engine that produces 40.6hp and 33.2Nm, paired with a six-speed gearbox. It is the most powerful and the lightest motorcycle on this list, weighing just 176kg, which should make it easy to manage and manoeuvre in traffic for most riders. The riding position is sporty yet well-judged, so it should work well for daily use as well as weekend rides. This Bajaj bike comes equipped with four riding modes: Road, Rain, Sport, and Off-Road, along with a Bluetooth-compatible LCD display supporting turn-by-turn navigation, and call and music controls.
Royal Enfield Classic 350
Rs 1.81-2.16 lakh
The Royal Enfield Classic 350 is one of those motorcycles that most Indian riders can instantly recognise without even having to look for the badge. It is powered by the same 349cc air-oil cooled engine as the Hunter 350, producing 20hp and 27Nm, paired with a five-speed gearbox. At 195kg, it is the heaviest motorcycle on this list, which could make it difficult to manoeuvre through tight traffic or drag it backwards out of a parking spot on an incline for shorter riders. This Royal Enfield bike comes equipped with an LED headlight, a USB Type-C charging port, adjustable levers (standard on the higher variants, optional on the lower ones) and a Tripper navigation pod for turn-by-turn navigation.
Honda CB350C
Rs 1.88-2.02 lakh
The CB350C is powered by a 348.36cc air-cooled engine that produces 20.7hp and 29.4Nm, paired with a five-speed gearbox. It offers a similar riding experience to the Royal Enfield Classic 350 but is noticeably lighter and has a lighter clutch action, which most riders will appreciate in stop-and-go city traffic. This Honda bike comes equipped with full LED lighting and Honda RoadSync, which allows riders to connect their Bluetooth headset to the display for navigation, calls, and music controls.
Bajaj Dominar 400
Rs 2.03 lakh
The Bajaj Dominar 400 is a sports-tourer powered by a 349cc, liquid-cooled engine making 40Hp and 33.2Nm that’s paired with a 6-speed gearbox and slipper clutch. This Bajaj bike features upright ergonomics, a USD fork, dual-channel ABS, 4 riding modes, switchable traction control, and touring-focused accessories such as a wind deflector and handguards. It also gets a factory-fitted tail rack, built-in bungee straps, and provision for a top box. If you are interested in starting long-distance touring on a reasonable budget, then the Dominar 400 is a good option.
