Here’s how the two V-twin cruisers fare against each other

There’s been a sudden influx of sub-400cc V-twin cruiser bikes in India, case in point the Keeway V302C and the new QJ Motor SRV 300. So here’s how these two cruisers fare against each other.

In terms of design, the SRV 300 packs a muscular design complemented by styling elements such as chopped fenders, a single-piece saddle, and dual exhaust pipes. It looks like a properly scaled-down Harley-Davidson Roadster.

The Keeway V302C too gets a chunky design, true to form. Be it the fat tyres, teardrop-shaped fuel tank or the mid-rise and wide handlebar, it has a similar silhouette to the Harley-Davidson Nightster minus the headlight cowl.

The QJ Motor SRV 300 is an interesting little cruiser powered by a liquid-cooled 296cc V-twin motor good for 30.3PS and 26Nm. The engine on the Keeway V302C is a 298cc, liquid-cooled, V-twin unit that produces 29.9PS and 26.5Nm. The main difference here is that the V302C gets a belt drive, while the SRV 300 has chain drive. A belt drive system requires lesser maintenance and also runs quieter.

The QJ Motor SRV 300 gets a circular LCD display, along with a 13.5-litre fuel tank and LED lighting. On the Keeway you also get LED lighting and a similar-looking monopod digital instrument console. However, both bikes miss out on smartphone connectivity, which is a big downer especially at its price point.

Suspension on both bikes are the same, with upside down fork and twin shocks, however the braking hardware on the bikes is different. The SRV 300 gets a 260mm disc at the front and a 240mm rear disc with the safety net of dual-channel ABS, while the braking on the V302C is managed by a single 300mm front disc and a 240mm unit at the back with dual-channel ABS.

Both the SRV 300 and V302C get 16-inch front and 15-inch rear alloy wheels wrapped in 120/80- and 150/80-section tyres, respectively. The former uses CST tyres, while the latter gets Timsun rubber.

The SRV 300 is a pretty accessible bike for shorter riders, especially with a seat height of 700mm, while the kerb weight is 164kg. In comparison, the V302C has an even lower seat height of 690mm, and slightly higher kerb weight of 167kg. 

The QJ Motor SRV 300 is priced at Rs 3,49,000, while Keeway retails the V302C in India at Rs 3,89,000 (all prices ex-showroom Delhi). Both bikes command a substantial premium over their rivals like the Royal Enfield Meteor 350 and Yezdi Roadster.
