There’s a kind of magic that only motorcycles can offer—the sense of freedom, the roar of the engine, and the call of the open road. The Keeway V302C brings that magic to life with a design that’s both bold and nostalgic.
This bobber-style cruiser doesn’t just turn heads with its sculpted aesthetics—it also impresses with performance, comfort, and daily practicality.
Engine
Start up the V302C, and you’re greeted by a refined 298cc twin-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine. It puts out 29.5 bhp and 26.5 Nm of torque—numbers that promise a smooth yet punchy ride. Thanks to the six-speed manual transmission, the shifts are slick, making both highway cruising and city commutes equally enjoyable.
A major win here is the belt-drive system. Unlike a typical chain, it requires less maintenance and gives the bike a more premium feel—less mess, less fuss, and a lot more style.
Weight
Cruisers are usually on the heavier side, but not the V302C. Tipping the scales at just 167 kg, it’s one of the lightest in its class. That makes it a breeze to maneuver, especially for new riders or those who want more agility without sacrificing the cruiser vibe.
Pair that with a claimed mileage of 36 kmpl and a 15-litre fuel tank, and you’ve got a bike that’s built for both city runs and long highway hauls without frequent fuel stops.
Features
Keeway didn’t hold back when it came to premium touches. The V302C is decked out with full LED lighting, giving it a sharp, modern look while improving visibility. The round digital instrument console fits right in with the retro-modern aesthetic, offering everything from trip data to engine temperature and fuel readings.
Even the bar-end mirrors add a custom feel, blending style and function effortlessly.
Braking
The safety game is strong, too. Dual disc brakes—300mm up front and 240mm at the rear—work in tandem with dual-channel ABS. It’s confidence-inspiring, especially when the road gets tricky or unpredictable.
On the suspension side, you get upside-down (USD) front forks with 120mm of travel, and twin shock absorbers at the rear offering 42mm of travel. The setup feels tuned for comfort, smoothing out most road imperfections like a cruiser should.
Comfort
Comfort is a major theme here. The 690 mm seat height makes it approachable for a wide range of riders, especially shorter ones. This low-slung position also enhances the laid-back riding posture cruisers are known for. It invites you to relax, lean back, and let the road unfold ahead of you.
Rivals
In terms of rivals, you’ll naturally want to compare the V302C with bikes like the Royal Enfield Meteor 350 and Jawa Standard. But here’s where it gets interesting—it even dares to challenge bigger bikes like the Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650 with its aggressive styling and modern feature set.
Whether you’re stepping up from a smaller commuter or entering the cruiser world for the first time, the Keeway V302C offers a stylish, accessible option that doesn’t skimp on fun or function. It’s not just a motorcycle—it’s a vibe, a statement, and a great way to rediscover the joy of the ride.
