Keeway’s V302C Takes On The Royal Enfield Meteor 350 And Yezdi Roadster On Paper

Since the Yezdi Roadster and Keeway V302C have a larger wheelbase than the Royal Enfield Meteor 350, they can be a bit cumbersome while maneuvering in urban traffic. However, as these bikes are meant for the open road, the Enfield and Keeway bikes are equipped with a 2.5-litre larger fuel tank which should increase their cruising range. 

The V302C’s lower seat height and kerb weight, despite packing one extra cylinder, comes as a more friendly package for shorter riders compared to the other two bikes. However, it also has the lowest ground clearance, which may make for tricky riding, especially in the city.

Features

On the feature front, the Meteor 350 is available with an optional tripper pod, which offers Bluetooth connectivity along with turn-by-turn navigation. The Yezdi Roadster and Keeway V302C miss out on any connectivity features.

A few variants of the Yezdi and Enfield get a transparent windscreen and backrest for added comfort, while the Keeway misses out on this too. What the Keeway does get is all-LED lighting, similar to the Yezdi. The Enfield however only gets a halogen headlight, bulb indicator and a LED headlight.

Price & Verdict

(all prices ex-showroom Delhi)

This is where the Keeway V302C is not as closely stacked as the others, as it commands a huge premium while not offering a large enough differentiator. The Yezdi Roadster costs slightly less and also packs more power than the Royal Enfield Meteor 350. And if you can oversee the lack of Bluetooth connectivity and navigation, then the Yezdi Roadster makes for a sensible choice on paper.
