Revolt Motors’ current product portfolio comprises the RV 400 (available in two variants) and the RV 300. Both motorcycles are available through the My Revolt Plan that comes with zero down payment and an affordable monthly fee as well as the recently announced one-time payment 'Revolt Cash Down' plan.

Under the Revolt Cash Down plan, the RV 400 is available for INR 98,999, while the RV 300 can be bought for INR 84,999. The price under the Revolt Cash Down plan is before the addition of registration/RTO, Insurance, Smart card and one-time mandatory charge of 4G connectivity for 3 years.
