Cruiser motorcycles are famous for their laid-back ergonomics and spacious seating, which makes them comfortable not only for the rider but also for the pillion. In the growing cruiser market in India,
features like wide seats, the right positioning of foot-pegs, back support for the pillion, and good suspension truly define the experience.

Royal Enfield Meteor 350 (Price: Rs 1.91 Lakh, Ex-Showroom)
The Meteor 350 is noted for its easy riding position plus the well-designed pillion seat, which makes long rides comfortable for both rider and passenger. This bike has a broad 1,400 mm wheelbase to go with strong suspension so that the pillion does not get tired when running over bumps. A dual-tone seat as well as wide footpeg position are highlighted by most reviewers as major comfort factors.
Bajaj Avenger Cruise 220 (Price: Rs 1.37 Lakh, Ex-Showroom)
Ideal for city runs, as well as weekend riding, the Avenger Cruise 220 is a pretty cheap cruiser. A low seat height and flat, wide pillion bench make for quite a comfortable experience. The longer footpeg position, combined with a mild frame rake, makes for a far less taxing pillion experience as opposed to having an aggressive forward lean at times. Therefore, the Bajaj model is definitely an option to consider when it comes to comfort.
Royal Enfield Classic 350 (Price: 1.81 Lakh, Ex-Showroom)
The Royal Enfield Classic 350 retro bike comes with a comfortable two-up seating layout. It has a wide bench seat, classic cruiser footpegs, and manageable 195 kg kerb weight that contributes to pillion ease. In addition to all this, the balanced suspension of the cruiser works perfectly on Indian roads and keeps the passenger out of maximum jolts.
Honda H'ness CB350 (Rs 1.92 Lakh, Ex-Showroom)
The H’ness CB350 from Honda does not strictly adhere to the classic mould of a cruiser, but it does feature relaxed ergonomics and well-padded split seats for the pillion rider, so in this aspect it fares very well. It offers a broad pillion seat with very good cushioning, which coupled with the smooth suspension setup of the bike makes long rides much more comfortable. This upright riding posture, lesser vibrations, as well as balanced chassis enable the pillion to comfortably manage patchy city roads or longer highway stretches.
