Keeway SR250 — Overview

The Keeway SR250 is a commuter bike available at a starting price of Rs. 1,53,992 in India. It comes in 1 variant and 3 colours. It is powered by a 223 cc BS6 Phase 2 engine and has a user reported mileage of 35 kmpl. With both front and rear disc brakes, the Keeway SR250 comes with anti-locking braking system. The SR250 bike weighs 120 kg and has a fuel tank capacity of 14.2 liters. It develops a power output of 15.78 bhp and a torque of 16 Nm.

At Rs 1,49,000, the Keeway SR250 squeezes dual-channel ABS, wire-spoke wheels, and a genuine scrambler silhouette into a price bracket that most retro bikes don't dare enter. The 223cc air-cooled engine isn't going to trouble the Yezdi Scrambler or Royal Enfield Meteor 350 on a highway, but it doesn't need to - this bike is built for riders who want the look, the lightness, and the affordability, not a displacement war. The honest catch: Keeway's service network in India is still thin, and a handful of early owners have reported build-quality niggles. If a Keeway dealership is within reach of your city, this is a compelling buy. If the nearest service centre is 150 km away, you'll want to think twice.

Keeway SR250 Latest Updates

View all

  • Keeway India launched the 2026 V302C at Rs 4.22 lakh (ex-showroom) with a new Glossy Yellow colour option joining the existing Glossy Red and Glossy Black shades; no mechanical changes were made. The update signals Keeway India's continued model refresh activity, though the SR250 lineup has received no equivalent update for 2026.

  • The Keeway SR250 ex-showroom price in Delhi has risen from its January 2023 launch price of Rs 1,49,000 to approximately Rs 1,53,992 - an increase of roughly Rs 5,000 since introduction. No official price-revision announcement has been published by Keeway India; the change reflects incremental annual revisions.

What We Like

  • Dual-channel ABS and disc brakes at both ends for under Rs 1.5 lakh - genuinely rare at this price
  • Lightweight 120 kg kerb weight makes it easy to handle in city traffic or filter through Mumbai's congestion
  • 40 kmpl ARAI mileage and a 14.2-litre tank give you roughly 560 km per fill-up on the highway
  • Neo-retro scrambler styling with spoke wheels and chrome upswept exhaust stands out in a crowd of commuters

What Could Be Better

  • Keeway's after-sales service network is thin - genuine spare parts are difficult to source outside major metros
  • Early owners report rusting on the silencer and body panels within the first few months of ownership
  • Clutch engagement is abrupt and the low-speed throttle response takes time to get used to in city riding

Editor's Verdict

Should You Buy the Keeway SR250?

The Keeway SR250 makes a strong case on paper: dual-channel ABS, scrambler looks, and a lightweight chassis for under Rs 1.5 lakh is a package no direct Indian rival can match at this price. The stumbling block is real-world ownership - the service network is too sparse and build quality too inconsistent to recommend unconditionally. Buy it if a Keeway dealership is in your city; hesitate if you'll need to travel for servicing.

Frequently Asked Questions

QWhat is the price of the Keeway SR250 in Delhi and Mumbai?▾
The Keeway SR250 is priced at Rs 1,49,000 ex-showroom in Delhi and approximately Rs 1,52,000 in Mumbai. On-road, you will pay around Rs 1,67,000 in Delhi and Rs 1,82,000 in Mumbai once RTO, insurance, and dealer handling charges are added.
QWhat is the mileage of the Keeway SR250?▾
The Keeway SR250 has an ARAI-certified mileage of 40 kmpl. Real-world city mileage typically falls between 32-36 kmpl depending on traffic and riding style; on smooth highways, most owners report 38-42 kmpl.
QDoes the Keeway SR250 have ABS?▾
Yes, the Keeway SR250 comes with dual-channel ABS as standard on its single variant. Both the front 300 mm disc and rear 210 mm disc are ABS-protected - comprehensive safety hardware that is uncommon at the sub-Rs 1.5 lakh price point.
QWhat are the main problems reported by Keeway SR250 owners?▾
The most common owner complaints are a thin service network outside major metros, difficulty sourcing genuine spare parts, and early rusting on the silencer and body panels. The clutch engagement is also described as abrupt, requiring an adjustment period for smooth city riding.
QWhat is the EMI for the Keeway SR250?▾
On the on-road price of approximately Rs 1,67,000 in Delhi, with a 15% down payment and a 36-month loan at 9-10% interest, the monthly EMI works out to roughly Rs 5,700-6,000. Longer tenures of 48-60 months reduce the monthly outgo but increase total interest paid.
QWhat is the service cost and service interval for the Keeway SR250?▾
The SR250 has its first service at 500-1,000 km, then every 5,000-6,000 km. Routine service at an authorised Keeway centre costs approximately Rs 1,500-2,000 per visit; estimated five-year service costs total around Rs 36,000-38,000.
QIs the Keeway SR250 good for long rides?▾
The SR250 is manageable for single-day highway runs of 300-400 km, but its 223 cc engine is not built for sustained high-speed touring. The 14.2-litre tank and 40 kmpl ARAI mileage give a claimed range of around 560 km per tank. The upright riding position is comfortable, though Keeway's sparse highway service network is a practical concern on long-distance trips.
QHow does the Keeway SR250 compare to the Royal Enfield Meteor 350?▾
The Keeway SR250 starts at Rs 1,49,000 versus the Royal Enfield Meteor 350's Rs 1.91 lakh - a difference of around Rs 40,000-50,000. The Meteor 350 has a larger 349 cc engine making 20.2 bhp versus the SR250's 15.78 bhp, and Royal Enfield's service network is vastly more extensive. The SR250 wins on price and weight (120 kg vs 191 kg); the Meteor 350 wins on engine performance, refinement, resale value, and after-sales support.
