Top 5 Most Affordable Bikes In India With Cruise Control
A long list of features has become a major selling point in today's motorcycle market. Riders increasingly prioritise unique features over traditional strengths like performance or reliability, pushing manufacturers to load their bikes with more technology than ever before. While some features may seem gimmicky, others genuinely enhance convenience and practicality.
One such feature is cruise control, a boon for long-distance riders looking for comfort on the highway. That said, here's a look at some of the 5 most budget-friendly bikes in India that come equipped with cruise control.
5. KTM 390 Duke
The KTM 390 Duke, priced at Rs 2.95 lakh, rounds off the list as one of the most powerful and tech-rich bikes in the affordable segment. The 2023 update brought a new 399cc engine and several refinements, though it initially missed out on cruise control. After debuting the feature on the 390 Adventure, KTM has now extended it to the Duke as well.
This addition makes perfect sense, considering many Duke 390 owners use their bikes for both spirited city rides and highway touring. With cruise control now onboard, the 390 Duke's versatility and touring comfort have reached new heights.
4. TVS Apache RR 310
At Rs 2.78 lakh, the TVS Apache RR 310 is one of the few fully faired motorcycles in India to come with factory-fitted cruise control. TVS has packed its flagship supersport with a long list of premium features, reinforcing the Apache's position as one of the most advanced motorcycles in its class.
The RR 310 caters to riders who want both performance and practicality - a bike that can thrill on track days yet stay relaxed on long weekend rides.
3. TVS Apache RTR 310
The TVS Apache RTR 310, priced from Rs 2.50 lakh, was once India's most affordable motorcycle to offer cruise control - until the Glamour X arrived. Still, the RTR 310 remains unique for being the only bike in India to feature cornering cruise control, a system that automatically reduces speed based on the motorcycle's lean angle.
TVS has gone all out with its flagship Apache models, ensuring the RTR 310 combines aggressive styling with cutting-edge rider aids that truly stand out in the sub-Rs 3 lakh segment.
2. TVS RTX
The TVS RTX, launched recently with prices starting at Rs 1.99 lakh, comes equipped with cruise control as standard across all variants - Base, Top, and BTO (Built To Order).
In addition to cruise control, the RTX brings an impressive tech package to the table, including four riding modes - Urban, Rain, Tour, and Rally - each altering ABS and traction control behaviour. The Top and BTO variants also benefit from a bi-directional quickshifter, reinforcing the bike's touring-friendly credentials.
1. Hero Glamour X
The Hero Glamour X takes the crown as India's most affordable motorcycle with cruise control, priced between Rs 90,000 and Rs 1 lakh (ex-showroom). In a segment-first move, Hero has brought this premium touring feature to the humble commuter category.
With the recent GST rate cut for bikes below 350cc, the Glamour X's price is expected to further drop by Rs 7,813, making it an even more enticing deal for everyday riders who value comfort and convenience on longer routes.

Cruise control, once reserved for high-end tourers, is now making its way into smaller-capacity and commuter motorcycles. From the budget-friendly Hero Glamour X to the performance-focused KTM 390 Duke, riders now have more choices than ever to enjoy relaxed, fatigue-free long rides without spending a fortune.
