Asked by: Simranjit Singhon Feb 16, 2026
I have been riding a Bullet 350 for the last 14 years. I recently sold it due to the 15-year rule in Delhi. I am looking to upgrade to an adventure bike with a budget of ₹2.5 lakh. I am 41 years old, 6′1″ tall, and weigh 105 kg. I need a bike with good suspension quality, and my daily riding will be around 20 km within Delhi.
The two frontrunners in the ADV space within your budget would be the TVS Apache RTX 300 and Hero Xpulse 210. The Xpulse will be the more city-friendly machine compared to the RTX because it is lighter and not as physically large a machine. It will also return noticeably better fuel economy, and if that's important to you, then it becomes the clear pick. The RTX does have better seating comfort, although in isolation, the Xpulse is good too.
A test ride of these two will help you decide which is the better machine for you.

I am a bit confused between the Xpulse and the RTX 300 because I need a bike that can handle bumps and potholes on Indian roads easily as well as perform well off-road. What do you suggest is best?
Both the Hero Xpulse 210 and TVS Apache RTX 300 are both good bikes for tackling bad roads, but when it comes to off-road riding, the Xpulse is clearly more capable.
It has longer travel suspension and wire-spoke rims, both making it better suited for the job. It is also the lighter and narrower of the two machines and has minimalist bodywork. It will be helpful in the inevitable case of a tipover because neither the bike nor your wallet will sustain too much damage.

Asked by: Hari Krishna Ton Feb 12, 2026
I am currently riding a 2022 TVS Ronin RS200, but I am not happy with it because, being a faired bike, it has a lot of issues every 1-2 months on Bangalore roads. I am thinking of switching to a naked bike like the Duke 250 or 250 Adventure. What are the best alternatives available in the 200/250/300 cc segment for daily city commuting and occasional 150-200 km out-of-city touring? Please suggest strong and punchy options that are currently in the market.
The KTM 250 Duke you have shortlisted will be a good option to step up to, and with its less bodywork than your RS200, you'll likely not run into the same issue again. The quarter-litre Duke is also an entertaining and punchy machine that feels at home both inside the city and out on the highway. In a similiar vein, you could also consider the TVS Apache RTR 310, which will offer you more performance and features, although it will be a little more expensive to buy even in base trim.
If you are instead leaning toward an ADV, then you should consider bikes like the KTM 250 Adventure and TVS Apache RTX 300.
A test ride of these bikes will help you decide what sort of bike is right for you and which one suits you best.

Dear Autocar, please suggest a bike for daily commuting and occasional touring. My budget is ₹3 lakh. I want a comfortable bike with (1) plusher suspension, (2) comfortable rider and pillion seats, and (3) a smooth engine and gearbox. My touring speed is usually between 80 and 100 kmph. My shortlist includes the Scram 440, TVS RTX 300 and KTM 250 Adventure. Please rate these bikes based on suspension comfort, seat comfort and engine and gearbox smoothness.
At the sedate speeds you will be riding, all three bikes' engines will be smooth and rather unstressed, so that shouldn't be a factor for you when you decide. Coming to suspension comfort, while all three set a very high baseline, it is the TVS Apache RTX 300 which has the edge in comparison to the KTM 250 Adventure and Royal Enfield Scram 440. Its suspension is plush yet controlled, keeping you comfortable over bad stretches while maintaining its composure on the road. If you opt for the RTX's top BTO variant, you'll even get some adjustability, so that's a clear win for the RTX in the suspension department.
Even in terms of seating comfort, the Apache RTX 300 is the clear winner. The Scram 440's seat is comfortable for the pillion, but the rider's section is too thinly padded and the KTM 250 Adventure's seat is thin, firm and not the most spacious for two-up riding.
However, the RTX is still a very new machine, and we'd strongly advise you to wait for 6 months - 1 year before you buy one, so that if any teething issues crop-up TVS can iron them out.
If you want to buy any of these bikes today, the Royal Enfield Scram 440 will make for the best all-rounder, although it will be the most expensive to buy. If seat comfort is a problem for you, this is an easy and rather inexpensive fix at a trusted local seat shop.

Asked by: Siddharthon Jan 31, 2026
I am considering buying a bike mainly for city usage of around 16 km a day. I rarely ride on the highway, and this will be my first bike. I am 6 feet tall, and comfort and performance are my priorities. My budget is ₹2.5-2.8 lakh on-road (Hyderabad). I am considering the RTX 300, but since it is a new bike and my usage is mostly in the city, I am confused.
Since you have mentioned that this will be your first bike and you'll be spending most of your time within the city, the TVS Apache RTX 300 isn't the ideal candidate for you. It is quite a tall and substantial motorcycle with decently punchy performance too and wouldn't be the most welcoming machine inside the tight confines of a big city, especially so for a new rider.
If you are in the market for an ADV, we'd instead recommend the Hero Xpulse 210, which will be lighter, more manageable and friendlier for a newbie to motorcycles.
If you decide you want something sporty, then the KTM 250 Duke would be a great option to start with. It has energetic yet friendly performance, great handling and features and will also be decently fuel efficient when ridden sensibly.
Take a test ride of these bikes to see which one suits your riding style best and feels the most comfortable.

Asked by: Vamsion Jan 29, 2026
I am currently using a 10-year-old Classic 350. It is still fine, but I want to change it now. My budget is Rs 2.5 lakh, and I am considering the Honda NX200 or the Suzuki V-Strom SX 250. Please suggest which one to choose. I am open to other recommendations as well. I am not looking for a bike with an aggressive riding posture.
Since you are looking at ADV-style bikes, we recommend you consider the TVS Apache RTX 300, as it will be available within your budget. The RTX is a comfortable, feature-loaded, and powerful motorcycle that is priced close to smaller, less feature-rich bikes and therefore warrants serious consideration.
If you want to stick with a Japanese brand instead, between the Honda NX200 and Suzuki V-Strom SX you've shortlisted, the Suzuki makes for the better all-rounder. Take a test ride of these three to see which one suits you best.

Asked by: Vamsion Jan 27, 2026
I am planning to upgrade from a Classic 350 and am looking for something priced between Rs 1.5 lakh and Rs 3 lakh. The bike should look and feel different from the Classic 350. I am currently considering the Strom SX 250 and the NX200.
Since you have mentioned that you are looking at adventure motorycles, we would recommend you take a look at the TVS Apache RTX 300, KTM 250 Adventure, and Hero Xpulse 210, all of which will fit within your budget.
Of these three, the RTX will be the best all-rounder and also the most road-friendly machine which will feel more familiar to you coming from a road bike. If you plan to go off-roading regularly, then the Xpulse makes the most sense with its long-travel suspension and wire spoke wheels. A test ride of these three will help you decide which is the right bike for you.

Asked by: Anirudhon Jan 20, 2026
I'm 6ft tall and have been riding FZ-S and RE Classic 350 for 13 years. I'm thinking about getting an ADV, and I've narrowed it down to the Hero Xpulse 210 (Top), Honda NX 200, and TVS RTS 300 (Top). I'm looking for a comfy ride, good mileage, and decent service. I commute 30-40 km daily and plan one long trip of about 700 km a year. Which bike should I pick, or suggest a bike apart from the one listed? Thank you!
Between the three bikes you have shortlisted, the Honda NX200 is the least ADV-like because it is essentially a dressed-up Hornet 2.0 street bike, and its engine will feel quite strained at fast highway speeds.
Of the other two - Hero Xpulse 210 and TVS Apache RTX 300 - the Xpulse will feel lighter and easier to manage in the city while also returning better fuel economy on account of its smaller engine. Meanwhile, the Apache will feel better on the highway with its larger engine, and its handling will feel more sporty with its fat tyres and smaller 19-inch front wheel. A test ride will help you choose which is the right bike for you.
Do bear in mind that both the Xpulse and Apache RTX are fairly new products, and their long-term reliability remains a question mark.

Asked by: Jayanthon Jan 18, 2026
I am 21 years old and 6 feet tall. I am looking to buy a bike under ₹3 lakh. I have considered the Classic 350 and Meteor 350. Could you please give me more suggestions based on my height?
Between the Royal Enfield Classic 350 and Meteor 350, the former would be our recommendation. The Meteor's feet forward position will transmit more jolts to your back over bad patches of road. Therefore, it won't be comfortable over long stints in the saddle. The Classic's upright and neutral rider's triangle will be easier to live with on a day-to-day basis.
You should also take a good look at the Honda CB350 models because they have a similar riding experience to the RE 350s. But are much lighter and come with alloy wheels and tubeless tyres. They also have a slip/assist clutch, resulting in little effort when operating the clutch.
Since you are a taller person, looking at an ADV like the Hero Xpulse 210 and TVS Apache RTX 300 is also a good idea. Of the two, the RTX is the better all-rounder, but the Xpulse is lighter.
Take a test ride of these bikes so you can decide which is a better fit for you.

Asked by: Akshay Bon Jan 17, 2026
I’m 6 ft tall, and my wife is 5'2". I’m looking for a bike primarily for daily commutes of up to 20 km, along with occasional weekend rides of around 200 km. My budget is around ₹3 lakhs. My top priorities are riding comfort (for both rider and pillion) and engine reliability. I would prefer a modern-looking bike rather than retro-styled options like the RE Classic 350 or Honda CB350. Could you please suggest some suitable options that fit these requirements?
Since pillion comfort and reliability are valuable to you, we'd recommend the Royal Enfield Scram 440. Sure, the Scram can trace its roots back over a decade to the original Himalayan 411, but it is a competent, comfortable and simple machine which will keep both rider and pillion comfortable. The rider's section of the single-piece seat is rather thinly padded, so we'd recommend getting that fixed at a trustworthy local seat guy; this should be a relatively inexpensive and quick fix.
You can also consider the TVS Apache RTX 300, which will feel and look much more modern and upmarket than the simple, no-frills Scram. However, considering that the RTX is based on a brand-new engine platform and packs a lot of electronics, the thinking man's move would be to wait for a few months to see how the bike proves itself in the market.
