When it comes to two-wheelers, there is hardly a market as diverse as India. Besides mileage bikes and reliable commuters, the 200cc bike segment has recently gained popularity among Indian two-wheeler riders. Sitting between the commuter bikes and performance-oriented sports bikes, the 200cc bike segment offers the best blend of power, style, and cost.
This segment is perfect for customers seeking a ride that is sporty as well as practical. 200cc bikes pack enough firepower and comfort to whiz past city streets and weekend highway excursions. In fact, these bikes are designed with fuel efficiency in mind to help lower running costs for everyday commutes.
