The 2022 model gets three modes of traction control – Street, Off-road, and Off. It also gets a bi-directional quick shifter and multiple modes for ABS.

KTM 390 Duke: Rs 2.94 lakh
Another offering from KTM’s stable is the 390 Duke which is more expensive than the G 310 GS. However, it gets the same potent engine as the 390 Adventure, a similar feature list, and a premium set of hardware. However, being a naked street bike, it delivers a sportier riding experience with road tyres, sharper handling dynamics, and a more committed riding posture.

Royal Enfield Interceptor 650: Rs 2.89-3.15 lakh
The Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 is the most affordable motorcycle with a parallel twin-cylinder engine in India. And it’s a gem of a mill with oodles of torque and refinement. This 648cc, air/oil-cooled motor produces 47bhp and 52Nm of peak torque. As for the rest of the hardware, everything is quite basic with spoke wheels, a conventional suspension setup, and a tubular double cradle frame. Even the features list is nothing to write home about.
