New Keeway K300 SF Launched at Rs 1.69 Lakh in India; Gets Dual-Channel ABS, USD Forks and More

In terms of market rivalry, the Keeway K300 SF takes on the likes of the Hero Xtreme 250R, TVS Apache RTR 310, KTM 250 Duke, and the BMW G 310 R.

Keeway, the QJ Motor-owned Hungarian brand, recently revealed its new rally-inspired adventure bike. Called the TX450R, it is&nbsp;due to go on sale in the international market; although, it remains unclear whether this motorcycle will arrive in the Indian market. If the brand plans on doing so, it is not likely to be launched anytime soon.&nbsp;The Keeway&nbsp;TX450R appears to be inspired by the Dakar Rally bikes, and is aimed at those seeking a thrill. Having said that, it comes with a unique&nbsp;fairing at the front, all-LED illumination, long seat mounts on a&nbsp;massive&nbsp;fuel tank, as well as a 5.0-inch colour TFT screen. Other bits include wide tubular handlebars, backlit switchgear, and two 12V charging sockets.&nbsp;

<h2>Keeway TX450R: Engine, Output</h2>

Coming to its mechanicals, the new Keeway bike comes powered by&nbsp;a 449cc, liquid-cooled,&nbsp;fuel-injected, single-cylinder engine that cranks out&nbsp;44bhp at 8,000rpm and 38Nm of peak torque. The fuel is fed to the engine via three separate tanks that offer a combined capacity of 28 litres.&nbsp;Transmission duties are handled by a 6-speed gearbox, transmitting power to the rear wheel.&nbsp;

<h2>Keeway TX450R: Underpinnings</h2>

This liquid-cooled engine comes nestled within a double-cradle cast-aluminium frame, suspended with the help of fully adjustable Fast Race inverted forks at the front and a linkage-equipped mono-shock at the rear. Speaking of which, the motorcycle offers a wheel travel of 280mm. To suit the character of the adventure bike, the TX450R comes with 21-inch front and 18-inch rear wheels shod with&nbsp;Pirelli RallyCross MT21 tyres.&nbsp;

<h2>Keeway TX450R: Availability, Price</h2>

The company has yet to disclose details concerning the bike's availability and pricing. As mentioned earlier,&nbsp;it will be launched in the global market, with&nbsp;its India entry unlikely soon.&nbsp;

<h2>Keeway&nbsp;India Lineup</h2>

The SR 125/250, the K300 N/R, the V302C, the K-Light 250V, the Sixties 300i, and the Vieste 300i scooters make up Keeway's current two-wheeler portfolio.

Keeway TX450R Rally-Inspired Adventure Bike Unveiled, Gets Colour TFT Screen and Pirelli RallyCross MT21 tyres

The 449cc liquid-cooled engine is nestled within a double-cradle cast-aluminium frame, suspended by fully adjustable inverted forks at the front and a linkage-equipped mono-shock at the rear.

With the launch of the brand-new V302C belt-drive V-twin cruiser in August last year, Keeway India took the entry-level premium segment by surprise. The bike arrived in our home market with a starting price of Rs 3.89 lakhs (ex-showroom). The V302C, the fourth offering from the Chinese-owned Hungarian brand, is available in three colors with various price tags. There is only one standard model with all the features included, though. Now, in a recent development that&nbsp;comes nearly&nbsp;a&nbsp;year after its launch, the bikemaker has updated the price of the V302C cruiser. Following the most recent hike, the twin-cylinder product&nbsp;from the brand&nbsp;with a sub-500cc engine&nbsp;now costs Rs&nbsp;4.29 lakh instead of Rs&nbsp;4.20 lakh as it did earlier. Prices are ex-showroom. This&nbsp;hike of Rs 9,000 over the initial sticker price&nbsp;is brought on by the existing powertrain's inclusion of a slipper clutch. Read on to know more about what the Keeway V302C offers to Indian buyers in terms of features, specs, and more.&nbsp;

<h2>Keeway V302C: Design&nbsp;</h2>

In contrast to the K-Light 250V, which has a cruiser design, the Keeway V302C is low-slung and boasts a bobber style. The seat height is as low as 690mm.&nbsp;The motorcycle has blacked-out elements, a sloped front design, a scooped single-piece seat, a broad handlebar, and bar-end mirrors, which give it a distinctive stance in this market.&nbsp;The design also&nbsp;includes a curved 15-litre petrol tank with knee recesses and tank padding, a round headlight at the front, and fat-profile tyres on both ends.&nbsp;It features a 1,420mm wheelbase and 158mm of ground clearance. The front and back wheels of the bobber are made of alloy, measuring 16-inch in each case. As far as the colour options are concerned, the Keeway V302C has three different paint schemes to choose from: Glossy Red, Glossy Black, and Glossy Grey.

<h2>Keeway V302C: Engine,&nbsp;Gearbox and Feature Set</h2>

<img alt="Keeway V302C Engine" height="720" src="/uploads/2023/07/Keeway-V302C-Engine.jpg" width="1280" />

The 298cc, V-twin, liquid-cooled motor in the V302C, which is capable of churning out a maximum power output of 29.5bhp and a peak torque of 26.5Nm, has not changed in terms of mechanical specs. With a belt-drive setup, this unit is coupled to a six-speed gearbox. Full-LED lighting, a fully digital instrument panel, and a dual-channel ABS are among the features that are still on the list.&nbsp;The circular console has several readouts, including the temperature, trip meter, fuel level, speedometer, and more.&nbsp;

<h2>Keeway V302C: Hardware&nbsp;</h2>

The V302C has twin rear springs with a 42mm travel and upside-down&nbsp;front forks with 120mm of travel. The Hungarian bobber's braking system consists of a single 300mm front disc as well as a dual-channel ABS-equipped 240mm rear disc. The front wheel is 120/80-16 and the rear wheel is 150/80-15.

Keeway V302C Price Hiked in India, Gets Slipper Clutch

In a recent development that comes nearly a year after its launch, Keeway has updated the price of the V302C cruiser due to the addition of a slipper clutch. Following the recent hike, the twin-cylinder offering from the brand now costs Rs 4.29 lakh instead of Rs 4.20 lakh as it did earlier.

It is most likely to give tough competition to the TVS Ronin, the Royal Enfield Hunter 350, and the Kawasaki W175.

Auto Expo 2023: Keeway SR250 Launched at Rs 1.49 Lakh in India

Auto Expo 2023: Keeway India has launched the second model in the "SR" line, the SR250 at Rs 1.49 lakh (ex-showroom) in India. The bookings for the model are now open at Rs 2,000 and the deliveries will reportedly begin in February.

Bobbers are cool motorcycles. They are essentially cruisers, with a heightened sense of style and sportiness. At the moment, there’s no dearth of modern-retro motorcycles on the market. But, if you want to rock that carefree look on a pint-size bobber without breaking the bank, Keeway’s V302C should be high on your list.

So, what does this small yet beefy Keeway bring to the table? Well, pretty much every bobber-cruiser element you can think of. For starters, it’s powered by a V-Twin engine – yes, it’s got a 298cc vee-twin motor instead of the more common parallel-twin seen on motorcycles in its price range. The design is pretty badass too. Chunky bodywork, blacked-out engine casings and exhaust, and a low stance, along with wide bars and bar-end mirrors, are some of the key elements that make it stand out. It’s even got a belt drive! It looks cool – no doubt about it. But, we also must say that it seems to draw inspiration from a certain American manufacturer, which goes by the name of Harley-Davidson. Well, imitation is the best form of flattery – what else can we say?

<img alt="Keeway V302C Engine" height="720" src="/uploads/2022/11/Keeway-V302C-Engine.jpg" width="1280" />

It’s a stunning-looking bobber, anyway. But, having said that, there are a few things that its cool design can’t mask. The quality levels aren’t up to scratch, especially considering the asking price of this motorcycle – it starts at a whopping ₹3.89 lakh (ex-showroom). And then there’s the more fundamental stuff – the engine. The V-Twin motor is good for 30bhp and develops 26.5Nm of torque – neither great nor terrible. But considering the power output and the fact that it weighs just shy of 170kgs, we were expecting it to have more poke than what it delivers. It’s not a dud for sure, but it lacks the excitement and grunt that you would expect from a V-twin. Plus, it’s not that refined either.

As for the handling, the V302C was out of its depth around the long and flowing corners of the BIC. And because of its lazy rake and fat tyres, the turn-in was s-l-o-w. That said, once leaned over, the stability was pretty good; however, with next to no clearance, you start scraping pegs pretty early on. And this is why its lap time wasn’t very good.

All told, it’s still a badass design, with plenty in terms of X-Factor. The only trouble is that it doesn’t excel on the mechanical front, which, along with its high price tag, subpar quality, and Chinese origins, is likely to deter potential clients.&nbsp;

Keeway V302C, Track Test

'At the moment, there’s no dearth of modern-retro motorcycles on the market. But, if you want to rock that carefree look on a pint-size bobber without breaking the bank, Keeway’s V302C should be high on your list.' – Shivank Bhatt

Do you really need a 300cc scooter in your garage? Dhruv spends a couple of days with the Sixties 300i &amp; Vieste 300 to find out the answer.

Scooters have been one of the primary modes of transportation for most Indian families since one can remember. No matter how much you love the feel of riding a motorcycle, you just can’t beat the practicality of a scooter. And the fact that it can be easily ridden by every member of a family is an added advantage. The only downside to a scooter is that it’s a little too vanilla. But it seems that things are changing, for now, we have a company called Keeway in India, which is looking to shake things up a little. You see, up until now, scooters barely crossed the 150cc mark in terms of engine displacement, but Keeway has almost doubled that figure with its two 278cc liquid-cooled four-valve single-cylinder petrol engine scooters. What’s more, their design is definitely going to wow you. So, let’s find out if these two new Keeway scooters will work in the Indian setting.

Looking&nbsp;Nice!

The first thing that you notice about these Keeway scooters is their design. Both the <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/keeway/sixties-300i/">Sixties 300i</a> and <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/keeway/vieste-300/">Vieste 300</a> look poles apart, but still, their styling should please almost everyone. The Sixties 300i is a full-on retro scooter and has a ‘Lambretta’ vibe going for it. The test unit we rode was finished in white, and with minimal lines on the body and a two-piece seat, I found it hard to take my eyes away from it. The best part about the whole scooter – at least for me – were the exhaust vents located towards the rear, and while they might or might not do a whole lot to increase the cooling of the engine, they look damn good! Overall, the Sixties 300i looks like a proper old-school scooter and a big one at that.

On the other hand, the Vieste 300 could almost pass off for a motorcycle, given its maxi-scooter design. Unlike the Sixties 300i, the Vieste 300 is full of angular design bits and sharp lines, all of which scream for your attention, but in a nice way. While the oldies may not find it attractive at first, the young crowd will definitely be taken by it. The lighting too is LED on the Vieste 300, adding further to that contemporary look. Overall, both scooters have enough oomph to attract eyeballs but of different generations.

Sitting&nbsp;Right?

A good design is definitely an advantage, but what about comfort? Now, the Sixties 300i has a dual seat, and honestly, it looks like a throne compared to other scooters on the market. The cushioning is soft but not so soft as to make you uncomfortable after 10 minutes of riding. <a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/keeway/">Keeway</a> seems to have found the right balance in this regard. In terms of sitting position, the Sixties 300i ensures that your legs and hands make right angles, meaning that you sit in a relaxed position all the time. The great thing about the Sixties 300i is that it has a huge floorboard area, which means that your feet are always comfortably positioned, and you can carry luggage on it as well. In fact, our magazine designer/photographer Parvesh, who is well above six feet, found the Sixties 300i to be quite accommodating.

However, his impression of the Vieste 300 wasn’t as flattering. The maxi-scooter-like design means that most of the floorboard is taken up by a central tunnel, and honestly, even I didn’t find the foot space down there to be adequate enough. With riding shoes on, one-third of my feet were always hanging out of the floorboard area – not a very reassuring feeling, I must say. The handlebar though falls to hand quite easily, and so do the rest of the controls.

Does&nbsp;it Lean?

Both the Sixties 300i and Vieste 300 are good handlers. That’s because they are both set up on the stiffer side and feel tight when flinging from side to side. And while they are both fun, they are not the same in terms of riding. You see, the Sixties 300i is not just a traditional-looking scooter, but it also has bits and pieces of one. Case in point, the tyres. Both the front and rear tyres have the same diameter, same width, and same profile – to put it simply, it uses the same tyre at both ends, which means that it has a limit to the extent you can fling it.&nbsp;

The Vieste 300, being a maxi-scooter, gets the fun bits of a motorcycle, which means staggered tyre sizes – so fling it as much as you wish (or dare), and it hardly complains. It truly offers that motorcycle-like handling. Nonetheless, I had a ball being silly on both scooters. The braking setup of both scooters deserves a special mention here – both scooters have disc brakes on both ends and a superbly calibrated ABS, which means that braking performance is reassuring and always on point.

Got&nbsp;Grunt?

Grunt is one thing that both scooters pack in abundance. The powertrain is common between the two scooters, and given that the difference between their kerb weights is just 1kg, the performance of both feels similar. As you start tugging at the throttle, 80km/h comes up in a jiffy, and 100km/h also doesn’t take long to show up on the speedo. Post that, things tend to settle down a bit, although even if you are cruising at 100km/h, you have enough juice left in reserve to pull off an overtake.

<img alt="Keeway Sixties 300i Vieste 300 Side View Motion" height="720" src="/uploads/2022/10/Keeway-Sixties-300i-Vieste-300-Side-View-Motion.jpg" width="1280" />

But, let’s go back to the south of 80km/h because most scooters rarely cross that mark. My oh my, do these two make you act silly! Below the 80km/h mark, you can overtake for fun, dart into those disappearing gaps, and do a whole lot more – in other words, you feel drunk on power. And we are talking about the good (internal combustion engine) kind. The one complaint that I have with both scooters is that the throttle travel is excessively long, and if you are going full blast, you have to reposition your hand to cover the brakes. This, I think, is the only downside of hustling these two scooters.

Money&nbsp;Well&nbsp;Spent?

Well, now we have come to the part where I have to be objective about things, and honestly, a 300cc scooter is never going to be a case of money well spent. It’s excess just for the sake of it, but if you do get one, it will be because the good things in life are never cheap. The bigger problem is justifying the price tag. Honestly, I can live with spending extra for what I like, but ₹2.99 lakh (ex-showroom) for either one of them is a little too much, especially for the Sixties 300i, which hardly offers any features. The Vieste 300, at least, makes up by offering bits like heated grips, a tachometer and switch-operated fuel cap and under-seat storage. The only thing that the Sixties 300i is counting on to save its bacon is its good looks. If you can look beyond the high price tag, then any of these two would be a great pick. But, if it is value for money that you seek, then, look elsewhere.

Keeway Sixties 300i & Vieste 300 Scooter Review: First Ride

Do you really need a 300cc scooter in your garage? To find an answer to this question, we spent a couple of days with Hungarian marque Keeway's all-new Sixties 300i & Vieste 300 scooters.

Keeway Sixties 300i & Vieste 300 – Photos

The motorcycle&nbsp;is open for bookings for a token amount of ₹1,000 on the company's website or at the nearby Keeway-Benelli dealership.&nbsp;

The entry-level retro&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/keeway/sr-125/">SR125</a> from Hungarian motorcycle manufacturer Keeway is now available in India for ₹1.19 lakh (ex-showroom).&nbsp;One of the priciest 125cc motorcycles in the market,&nbsp;the Keeway SR125 is the seventh bike to join the firm's&nbsp;line-up.&nbsp;It will be available in three exciting&nbsp;colour options-&nbsp;Glossy Black, Glossy Red, and Glossy White.&nbsp;

Keeway-Benelli dealerships will provide the test rides of the Keeway SR125 starting mid-October, and the deliveries for the same will commence by the end of this month. The motorcycle&nbsp;is open for bookings for a token amount of ₹1,000 on the company's website and at&nbsp;Keeway-Benelli dealerships.&nbsp;

The Keeway SR125 is propelled by a 125cc, single-cylinder, 4-stroke, fuel-injected engine that produces 8.2Nm of peak torque at 7,500rpm&nbsp;and 9.5bhp of max power at 9,000rpm.&nbsp;The engine comes paired&nbsp;with a 5-speed manual transmission.&nbsp;It has twin spring-loaded rear shock absorbers and telescopic front forks. The motorcycle also gets a combined&nbsp;braking system with disc brakes on either end.

A 14.5-litre fuel tank, a teardrop-shaped body, and a small side panel make up the majority of the Keeway SR 125's relatively straightforward design. A single-piece seat painted in tan brown gives a touch of contrast, as does the compact, halogen headlamp that is positioned over a single-pod, colour digital display. A tiny fender, a spherical taillight, and indicators are all that can be seen in the very minimalist tail area.&nbsp;

With a price tag of ₹1.19 lakh (ex-showroom), the SR125 currently stands&nbsp;equivalent to&nbsp;the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/tvs/apache-rtr-160/">TVS Apache RTR 160</a> and<a href="https://www.autox.com/new-bikes/yamaha/fz-fi/"> Yamaha FZ</a> series in terms of cost. Albeit, it's more of a niche product in comparison to the other two.&nbsp;
