Our take on this /// Verdict

The Keeway Blackster 250i is a compelling option for those seeking a cruiser motorcycle in India. My experience with this bike has been largely positive, with its twin-cylinder 250 cc motor delivering a smooth and stable ride. The bike feels solid and well-built, with good acceleration and noticeable torque, although it may lack a bit of punch at higher speeds. It is happiest cruising at around 55 MPH, making it a great choice for long, leisurely rides. The build quality is commendable, and with proper maintenance, it has proven to be reliable. However, it may not be the best choice for those seeking high-performance or aggressive riding.

Price

The Keeway Blackster 250i is priced competitively in the Indian market. As of my last update, the ex-showroom price for this motorcycle is around 2.5 lakhs to 2.8 lakhs, depending on the region and any additional features or accessories. On-road prices can vary significantly due to state-specific taxes, registration fees, and insurance costs, but you can expect to pay somewhere between 3 lakhs to 3.5 lakhs. This pricing makes it an attractive option for those looking for a mid-range cruiser without breaking the bank. However, its always a good idea to check with local dealerships for the most accurate and up-to-date pricing.

I think this bike is a great option for those looking for a stylish and powerful cruiser in the Indian market.

Friday, 25 October 2024 10:07 PM Keeway has not officially announced the price of the Blackster 250i in India, but it is expected to be competitive with other cruisers in its class. The bikes mileage is estimated at around 45 km per liter, making it a decent choice for daily commuting and short trips. The Blackster 250i also boasts a digital odometer and analog speedometer, adding to its modern appeal. I believe the pricing will be a key factor in its success in the Indian market.

Monday, 30 September 2024 11:12 AM The Keeway Blackster 250i has a curb weight of 170 kg, which is relatively lightweight for a cruiser, making it easier to handle for new riders. The bike features a front tire size of 110/90 R16 and a rear tire size of 120/90 R16, providing a balanced ride. Its low seat height and centralized weight distribution make it accessible to a wide range of riders. I think this balance of weight and design will make it a favorite among Indian riders.

Tuesday, 20 August 2024 04:41 PM In terms of design, the Keeway Blackster 250i has a sleek and aggressive look with its blacked-out theme and chrome garnish. The bike includes features like adjustable headlights and side reflectors, enhancing its visibility and safety. The rear grab rails and storage pockets add to its practicality.

Keeway Blackster 250i Review

07 Feb, 2023 04:25 AM

Quick Review by Maxabout Team

Keeway has planned an entry into the Indian two wheeler segment, with its renowned player, the Blackster 250i. It comes with a really impressive design, a more bold appeal and a smooth riding experience. The first glimpse of the Blackster will surely make your heart go crazy and won't let you rest till you have one for yourself.

Design & Style

The 10 on 10 designing of the Keeway Blackster 250i makes it a sure shot show stopper. The body seems to be heavy, and in actual is heavy. The fade looking shade adds-up to its classic appeal and twin exhaust makes it a masterpiece. Overall, the Blackster seems to be the best cruiser for India, considering its visuals and design. The console lands on to the fuel tank and that makes it really different from others.

Instrument Console

The instrument console on the Keeway looks very nice and the white background adds up to its clarity. The analogue speedometer looks brilliant and the small digital screen inside it is solely responsible for the odometer and trip-meter. The console also houses small led lights for the neutral indicator, high beam and turn indicators. The fuel tank lid which was supposed to be at the place of the console is seen to its right.

Engine & Performance

The performance of the Blackster is handled by a 248.9 cc engine, which produces a max of 19.18 BHP @ 8500 rpm and 18.7 NM @ 5750 rpm. The engine is mated to a 5-speed gearbox. The interesting fact of the Keeway Blackster is that it comes with 2 cylinders and the system hereby is air cooled only. The overall dry weight of the bike is 170 kg which directly influences its performance and limits the top speed to a lower value.

Brakes & Suspension

The braking on this cruiser is supported by a 270 mm disc brake at the front and a 220 mm disc brake at the rear. ABS is missing on the bike whereas the suspension being used is the telescopic forks for the front and coil spring type for the rear. The front uses a 110/90 tire whereas the rear has 120/90. The tire size is limited to 16 inch on both wheels.

Shades & Expected Price

The Keeway Blackster 250i is available in Matte Black shade only, with an expected price tag of INR 1,75,000.
