BikeDekho Says:

Both the bikes are cruisers but have different characters. The Royal Enfield's J-series engine makes a lot of low-end torque and is built with relaxed riding in mind. It’s priced from Rs 1.99 lakh to Rs 2.28 lakh (ex-showroom). 

The Rebel 300, on the other hand, should feel more engaging to ride when pushed hard. While it’s yet to be launched, we expect it to be priced at about Rs 2.6 lakh (ex-showroom)
