Keeway V302C stands out in India’s cruiser market with its 298cc V-twin engine, offering riders traditional twin-cylinder character without stepping into bigger bikes.

Keeway India has given the V302C a small update for 2026, but one that cruiser buyers will notice. The bike now gets a new Glossy Yellow colour option, added alongside Glossy Red and Glossy Black, while the price stays unchanged at Rs 4.22 lakh (ex-showroom). There are no mechanical updates, no feature additions and no hardware revisions. This update is purely about adding more visual choice. In India’s cruiser market, where most options are built around single-cylinder engines or parallel-twin setups, the V302C still stands apart because of one key reason, its V-twin motor.

That alone gives it a different identity. For riders who want a cruiser that feels closer to traditional V-twin character without moving into larger displacement territory, the V302C continues to hold relevance.
The design remains the same, and that works in its favour. The V302C still carries its low-slung bobber-style stance, stretched wheelbase, wide tyres and teardrop-shaped fuel tank. The blacked-out engine and exhaust continue to define its profile, while the round LED headlamp keeps the front end clean. In the new Glossy Yellow shade, the motorcycle gets a louder visual edge, giving buyers another option if red or black feels too familiar.

The hardware package is unchanged for 2026. The V302C continues with telescopic front forks, twin rear shock absorbers, a 300mm front disc, 240mm rear disc and dual-channel ABS. The setup is simple, but it matches the bike’s purpose. This is not a machine built for aggressive corner carving. It is built for comfort, straight-line stability and easy cruising.
Features include all-LED lighting, a fully digital instrument console and a slipper clutch.
Powering the V302C is the same 298cc V-twin engine producing 29bhp and 26.5Nm. It continues with a belt-drive transmission, which remains one of the bike’s more interesting highlights. In this segment, belt drive is still uncommon, and it brings smoother operation, less maintenance and quieter running compared to a chain setup.
With a 15-litre fuel tank, the V302C also offers decent touring practicality. Riders looking at weekend highway rides or longer city loops will likely appreciate that added range. It fits the motorcycle’s laid-back character and adds some everyday usability beyond just style.
At Rs 4.22 lakh (ex-showroom), the Keeway V302C remains a niche motorcycle. For riders who care about cruiser character as much as specifications, the 2026 V302C continues to do what it always has, stand apart.
