This list includes brands such as Triumph, Kawasaki, Brixton, KTM and TVS.
A long feature list has recently become a strong selling point for many motorcycles. Buyers now often prioritise an extensive and unique feature set over the product’s overall strength. This shift in consumer preference has pushed manufacturers to cram in as many features as possible to stay competitive. This list follows our earlier list of most affordable bikes with a TFT display.
However, not all features are gimmicks—some genuinely add value and enhance practicality. One such touring-friendly feature is cruise control. Here’s a list of the top 10 bikes, spanning from budget-friendly options to high-end machines, equipped with cruise control.
10. Triumph Tiger 900 Rally Pro
Rs 15.95 Lakh
The top-spec variant of the Triumph Tiger — the Rally Pro — is the most expensive motorcycle on this list. Designed primarily for off-road use, it features a 21/17-inch front and rear wheel setup. Despite its off-road focus, the Rally Pro also comes equipped with cruise control, making it well-suited for long-distance touring.
9. Triumph Tiger 900 GT
Rs 13.95 Lakh
The Tiger 900 GT is another Triumph on this list. As the GT suffix suggests, this variant is more road-focused compared to its off-road-oriented siblings. In line with its touring intent, the Tiger 900 GT comes equipped with cruise control as standard, giving it greater comfort and capability on long highway rides.
8. BMW F 900 GS
Rs 13.75 Lakh
Cruise control has almost become a standard feature among middleweight adventure tourers, and a recent entrant to this space is the BMW F 900 GS. This model replaces the older F 850 GS and features a larger 895cc engine, achieved by increasing the bore. For those with a stronger touring focus, BMW also offers a GS Adventure variant — the F 900 GSA. In typical BMW fashion, the GSA variant gets a significantly larger 23-litre fuel tank, compared to the 14.5-litre unit on the standard GS, giving it a much longer range between fuel stops.
7. Kawasaki Ninja 1100SX
Rs 13.49 Lakh
Moving on to a different class of tourer—the sport tourer—the Ninja 1100SX stands out as the only one on this list. It’s a full-size, road-biased tourer with a hint of sporty intent. Appropriately, the Kawasaki Ninja 1100SX features a full fairing and comes standard with a cruise control system. While the bike has a sporty appearance, it offers a comparatively relaxed rider’s triangle, sparing you the discomfort of sitting on it like a gargoyle.
6. Triumph Bonneville T120
Rs 11.09 lakh
The Triumph Bonneville T120 is powered by a torquey, 1200cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine. In true Bonneville fashion, the T120 boasts period-correct styling that makes it look like a proper classic. At first glance, it could easily be mistaken for a vintage motorcycle — a testament to Triumph’s design team.
However, despite its retro appearance, the T120’s feature list is far from old-school. It comes equipped with modern tech like ride-by-wire throttle, which enables the inclusion of cruise control — a welcome addition for long highway rides. That said, one downside for touring is the lack of tubeless tyres. To maintain its classic aesthetic, Triumph has fitted the T120 with spoke wheels and tubed tyres, which can be a bit of a hassle in case of a puncture on long journeys.
5. Brixton Cromwell 1200
Rs 7.84 Lakh
The Brixton Cromwell 1200 is another retro-styled motorcycle that sits alongside the Bonneville T120 on this list. Like the Triumph, the Brixton is powered by a 1200cc engine and also offers cruise control as part of its feature set.
However, it shares a similar drawback with the T120 — tubed tyres. This setup can be a hassle during long-distance touring, as it makes puncture repairs more difficult and ultimately limits its touring potential.
4. KTM 390 Adventure
Rs 3.68 lakh
Moving to the budget end of the spectrum, the KTM 390 Adventure recently received a generational update. With this revision, KTM has equipped the 390 Adventure with cruise control straight from the factory. This makes it the only budget-friendly adventure tourer to offer this feature as standard.
3. KTM 390 Duke
Rs 2.95 lakh
KTM updated the 390 Duke in 2023, equipping it with a new 399cc engine. While the update brought several improvements, it initially missed out on cruise control. However, after introducing the feature on the 390 Adventure, KTM has now added cruise control to the 390 Duke as well.
This is a welcome move, especially since many Duke 390 owners use the bike not just for leisurely commutes, but also for touring. The addition of cruise control enhances its versatility.
2. TVS Apache RR 310
Rs 2.78 lakh
The TVS Apache RR 310 is the second faired motorcycle on this list, after the Ninja 1100SX, to come equipped with a factory-fitted cruise control system. Recently, TVS has gone all out in equipping its flagship Apache duo with as many features as possible.
1. TVS Apache RTR 310
Rs 2.50 Lakh
Starting at Rs 2.50 lakh, the TVS Apache RTR 310 is the most affordable bike in the country to offer cruise control from the factory. As mentioned earlier, TVS has thrown everything at the Apache Duo—including the kitchen sink. Unlike any other bike on this list, the Apaches also come equipped with cornering cruise control. This feature adjusts and reduces the set cruise speed based on the motorcycle’s lean angle.
