In short
The SRC 250 is QJ Motor's entry-level cruiser, priced at ₹1,37,027 with a 249cc parallel-twin making 17.16bhp and a claimed 39kmpl that owners have reported closer to 36-41kmpl. Dual-channel ABS and disc brakes at both ends are rare at this price, but QJ Motor's Indian service network is far newer than Bajaj's or Royal Enfield's.
What works
- Parallel-twin engine at this price is rare, most rivals use singles
- Dual-channel ABS with disc brakes front and rear
- Real-world mileage of 36-41kmpl closely matches the claimed 39kmpl
- 163kg kerb weight is lighter than most rivals here
What doesn't
- QJ Motor's Indian dealer and service network is still young
- No LED headlamp or bluetooth despite the twin-cylinder pitch
- Only 2-year warranty against Royal Enfield's longer cover options
Best for: First cruiser buyers, Budget twin-cylinder fans, City and highway mix

Mileage
SRC 250's claimed mileage is 39 kmpl, and unusually, owners and our own riding land right on it: expect 36–41 kmpl in everyday use. Few bikes get this close to their brochure figure.
Engine and ride
Power comes from a 249cc single producing 17.16 bhp and 17 Nm, paired with a 5 Speed. At 163 kg the power-to-weight figure is 105 bhp per tonne, which ranks 56 of 59 in its class here.
The torque and power figures are well balanced, so it neither needs to be revved hard nor feels lazy when you do.
Chassis hardware includes dual-channel ABS, with a disc, 280 mm, 2 piston caliper up front and disc, 240 mm, 2 piston caliper at the rear.
Seat height is a low 780 mm, so riders around 5'2" and above can plant both feet at a stop.
Our review
Riding impressions and the buying advice a spec sheet cannot give.
Verdict
The SRC 250 undercuts most twin-cylinder cruisers on sale in India, pairing a 249cc parallel-twin making 17.16bhp with dual-channel ABS and disc brakes at both ends for ₹1,37,027. Against singles like the Bajaj Avenger or Royal Enfield Classic at similar or higher prices, the twin-cylinder smoothness is the SRC 250's clearest point of difference.
Riding it every day
At 163kg, it is noticeably lighter than most rivals on this list, which should make it easier to filter through traffic and handle at low speed than heavier cruisers like the Jawa Standard or Benelli Imperiale 400. Owners report real-world mileage of 36-41kmpl, close to the claimed 39kmpl, which is a good sign the fuel figure is not wildly optimistic. The 780mm seat height and 160mm ground clearance should cope with typical Indian speed breakers without excessive scraping.
What to know before buying
QJ Motor is a newer entrant to the Indian market than Bajaj, Royal Enfield or TVS, so its dealer and service network is thinner; check for a nearby authorised centre before buying, particularly if you live outside a major city. The feature sheet skips an LED headlamp and bluetooth connectivity, both increasingly common at this price, so decide how much those matter to you.
Who should buy it
The SRC 250 suits someone who wants twin-cylinder character and modern braking on a cruiser budget, and who has confirmed local service support. Buyers who prioritise brand reach and long-term parts availability over engine layout should compare it carefully against the Bajaj Avenger or Royal Enfield Classic.
Features
- Dual-channel ABS
- Front disc brake
- Rear disc brake
- Tubeless tyres
- Side-stand engine cut-off
- Hazard lamps
- LED tail lamp
- Digital console
- USB charging port
- Engine kill switch
On safety kit the SRC 250 has dual-channel abs, front disc brake, rear disc brake, tubeless tyres, side-stand engine cut-off and hazard lamps. Dual-channel ABS is the one item on this list worth paying for if it is variant-dependent.
Against Avenger Street 220, Avenger Cruise 220 or Ronin 225, it gets dual-channel abs, rear disc brake, led tail lamp and usb charging port that most rivals skip.
What it lacks: single-channel abs, alloy wheels and led daytime running lamp, which rivals at this price offer. The safety items in that list matter more than the console.
It is offered in 3 colours: Silver, Red and Black. Colour availability varies by variant and dealer stock.
Warranty, service and ownership
Standard warranty is 2 years, unlimited km.
Service reach is the weak point: QJ Motor has about 30 dealer and workshop touchpoints across the country. Confirm there is one within reach before you sign.
On sale since 2022, the SRC 250 is established enough that early production issues have been worked through and used examples give a fair read on resale.
