      Hero Mavrick 440 Vs Rivals – HD440, Triumph 400, KTM 390, Apache 310, Dominar

      by

      Hero Mavrick 440 Vs RivalsAt 187kg (alloy wheel variant), Hero Mavrick 440 is lighter than Dominar 400, Yezdi Roadster and Harley-Davidson X440World’s best-selling commuter motorcycle manufacturer, Hero MotoCorp, is taking larger strides in premium motorcycle segment. The company launched its biggest, most powerful and most expensive product yet, the Mavrick 440, priced between Rs. 2 lakh and Rs. 2.24 lakh (ex-sh). Is it the best deal one can ask for, at Rs. 2 lakh? Or is there better proposition? Let’s take a look.Hero Mavrick 440 Vs RivalsWith a roadster design, Hero Mavrick competes with a lot of motorcycles from a similar genre and pricing. To keep the comparison apples to apples, we didn’t include Honda CB350 and Royal Enfield 350cc bikes as they don’t bring similar hardware and equipment. Shortlisted for this mega comparison are Triumph Speed 400, Honda CB300R, Bajaj Dominar 400, KTM 390 Duke, Apache RTR 310, BMW G 310 R, Yezdi Roadster and its alliance cousin Harley-Davidson X440.Hero Mavrick vs Rivals – Part 1Hero has launched this motorcycle in three trims – Base, Mid and Top (kudos to Hero for keeping trim names simple). At Rs. 2 lakh (ex-sh) starting price, Mavrick 440 undercuts all its rivals. It is Rs. 40,000 lower than X440 in base trims, which is laudable. Even the top-spec trim costing Rs. 2.24 lakh (ex-sh) undercuts every other vehicle except for Yezdi Roadster.Only the Hero-Harley duo have SOHC setup and 2V head, while others offer DOHC and 4V. Where performance is concerned, KTM 390 Duke takes the cake easily, and is the most expensive of this bunch too. BMW G 310 R comes off as overpriced, especially when compared to Apache RTR 310 with a plethora of electronics and equipment. Owing to its power cruiser positioning, Dominar 400 has the biggest wheelbase at 1,453 mm.Hero Mavrick vs Rivals – Part 2Duke has the highest ground clearance along with highest seat height. Honda CB300R shines brightly with its low 146 kg kerb weight and is easily the best city commuter among this bunch. Dominar and Yezdi come off as the heaviest. Only the Hero-Harley duo offer a spoke wheel with base trims, while others have made alloy wheels as standard. Only the Harley and Yezdi offer front 18-inch wheels. Even Hero offers 17-inch units at both ends.Specs, components and featuresOnly Mavrick 440 and Yezdi Roadster come with RSU telescopic front forks, whereas other contenders pack USD telescopic front forks. Rear suspension setup is twin-shock setup with Yezdi, Hero and Harley, while others offer sporty mono-shocks. All contenders offer all-LED lighting too and do not cheap out with halogens, which is a nice touch. Where fancy gizmos are concerned, only the 390 Duke, Apache RTR 310 and X440 offer colour TFT screens.Hero could have offered the same unit as we saw with Karizma XMR. But there have to be logical differences from its Harley-Davidson counterpart to establish hierarchy. However, Mavrick’s unit supports Bluetooth, navigation, and telematics with e-Sim integration and other notable attributes. Yezdi Roadster, BMW G 310 R, Bajaj Dominar 400, Honda CB300R and Triumph Speed 400 lack smartphone connectivity completely and associated features.In conclusion, Dominar 400 emerges as the best touring proposition with many touring-ready accessories as standard, while CB300R is easily the best city proposition. Apache RTR 310 is the most feature-packed, whereas 390 Duke is the most performant and Speed 400 is the most aesthetically pleasing. Hero Mavrick 440 shines with its pricing, undercutting X440 by up to Rs. 56,000 (ex-sh). More

      World’s First Electric Cargo Scooter Spied Testing – 150 Kms Range

      by

      World’s First Electric Cargo Scooter SpiedQargos electric cargo scooter will improve operational efficiency and do away with the massive backpacks carried by delivery executivesWhile two-wheelers are already extensively used in B2B and B2C segments, they have limited load capacity. Moreover, existing two-wheelers used for deliveries aren’t protected from the elements. To overcome such challenges and solve other last-mile delivery issues, Qargos has come up with the world’s first electric cargo 2-wheeler.Qargos electric cargo 2-wheeler scooter specsDevelopment of Qargos electric cargo scooter is in its final stages. Qargos is a Pune-based start-up and has been working on the cargo 2-wheeler for the last 6 years. The EV is equipped with a 6.1 kWh lithium-ion battery pack, designed by French multinational software corporation Dassault Systèmes. The battery connects to a 3.4 kW motor that generates 6 kW of peak power.Qargos electric cargo scooterQargos electric cargo scooter has a range of 150 km. Top speed is limited to 80 km/h. The EV weighs 145 kg and comes with a 225-litre cargo compartment. It can carry around 120 kg of cargo. With a standard AC power socket, the charging time is currently around 5 hours 15 minutes. There are plans to develop DC charging capabilities that will reduce charging time to around 3 hours.Qargos EV testing is currently underway and modifications are being carried out, as needed. One of the key areas the company is focusing on is to improve the aerodynamics of the EV. This is being done in collaboration with Dassault Systèmes. With reduced drag force, Qargos EV will be able to achieve a higher range.Qargos electric cargo scooterQargos cargo 2-wheeler benefitsWith a conventional two-wheeler, an average of around 35 deliveries can be done. In comparison, the Qargos cargo 2-wheeler will allow deliveries of around 70 parcels. It will be possible with the larger 120 kg cargo space. Grocery carrying capacity can be increased 3X, as compared to around 36 kg currently possible with a standard 2-wheeler.Qargos electric cargo scooterDelivery executives won’t be required to carry the heavy backpacks, something that will improve their overall efficiency. Finding the parcels will become a lot easier with the dedicated cargo compartment, as compared to finding parcels inside a bag. The cargo compartment is lockable, so no worries about parcels getting stolen. The cargo compartment will also keep the parcels protected from the elements.Qargos cargo 2-wheeler launch, priceQargos has stated that the testing and validation process will be completed soon. Homologation is expected by March or April. Bookings could be announced in the subsequent months. Qargos electric cargo 2-wheeler is expected to be launched at a starting price of Rs 2 lakh.

The company will need more funds for production and marketing purposes. The prototypes have been developed in collaboration with leading Tier 1 suppliers. Ather has helped with developing the charging systems. Qargos is also developing a 2-seater version that will have a smaller cargo compartment.Source More

      2024 Triumph Scrambler 1200 X Launch Price Rs 11.83 L – 90PS, 110Nm, Full Specs

      by

      Triumph Scrambler 1200 XWhen compared to XC and XE variants, Triumph Scrambler 1200 X is lighter on the pocket and offers a friendlier seating positionIconic British motorcycle manufacturer, Triumph, has listed a new motorcycle on its website. No. It is not yet time for the brand to launch Thruxton 440, which officially brake covers by the end of 2024. Instead, Triumph Scrambler 1200X has been launched in India. This sits above Scrambler 900 in the company’s lineup.Triumph Scrambler 1200 X Costs Rs. 11.83 LakhScrambler lineup from Triumph is one of the most popular. Sure, there are Tigers and the newly unveiled Daytona. But Triumph Scrambler is a popular choice among enthusiasts and the company had even launched special editions of Scrambler 1200 like “Bond Edition” launched in 2020 with a production run of 250 units.Triumph Scrambler 1200 X AccessorisedHowever, In India, 2024 has witnessed a new entrant to company’s scrambler lineup in the form of Scrambler 1200 X. It costs Rs. 11.83 lakh (ex-sh) and it is basically an affordable version of more equipped variants like Scrambler 1200 XC and Scrambler 1200 XE. For intended buyers, Scrambler 1200 X is also the friendliest variant too.We say this because X packs a seat height of just 820 mm, which is much lower when compared to XC variant. Shorter riders can choose a short-seat accessory that will bring seat height to 795 mm. Speaking of, there are over 70 official accessories compatible with Scrambler 1200 X, if you want an accessory frenzy.Triumph Scrambler 1200 X Seat HeightWe mentioned affordability factor as well, with Triumph Scrambler 1200 X. Triumph has achieved this by bundling less sophisticated componentry with X, when compared to more kitted-out XC and XE variants. We’re talking about non-adjustable front and rear suspension with X, along with less sophisticated braking hardware.2024 Triumph Scrambler 1200 X Full SpecsPowertrain, specs and hardwareOnly rear suspension gets preload adjustability. Braking hardware on Scrambler 1200 X is from Nissin and not Brembo M50s seen with other variants. Powertrain-wise, Triumph has not made any significant changes, except for a slight re-tune. 88.7 bhp and 110 Nm are the same as before, but peak power is now accessible at lower revs and peak torque is pushed higher up the revs.No other changes are seen with this 1,200cc parallel twin liquid cooled engine, which is mated to a 6-speed transmission. Off-road worthy highlights include 21-inch front and 18-inch rear wire-spoke wheels, knobby A/T tubeless tyres, long travel suspension and up-swept double barrel exhaust in iconic Triumph Scrambler design.Triumph Scrambler 1200 X ExhaustKerb weight of Triumph Scrambler 1200 X is 228 kg with a 15L fuel tank.

      Suzuki 250cc Bikes Recall Feb 2024 – Gixxer 250, SF250, V-Strom SX 250

      by

      Suzuki Gixxer : Image – BLazeR9This is not the first time the Gixxer 250s have been recalled – They had also been recalled back in April 2021 over excessive vibration issueCurrently Suzuki’s flagship mainstream offering, the 250cc lineup includes three distinctly different motorcycles. The street naked is called Gixxer 250, its fully faired counterpart is called Gixxer SF 250 and there is an ADV style offering based on this platform called V-Strom SX 250. All three of these motorcycles have been subjected to a recall.Suzuki 250cc Bikes RecalledThe Japanese brand is busy with damage control as its 250cc lineup in India has been diagnosed with a few powertrain issues. Especially in its cam area. Since all three of the aforementioned motorcycles use the same 249cc engine, all three have been subjected to a recall.The issue is that there has been abnormal wear of exhaust cam lobes discovered with certain vehicles. Affected motorcycles might show sudden stalling or generate abnormal noises. Hence the company has issued a recall for Gixxer 250, Gixxer SF 250 and V-Strom SX 250.Suzuki dealerships across India are currently on the verge of pin-pointing affected motorcycles or their batches. Dealerships will contact affected motorcycle owners for a service appointment at their nearest service centre. Suzuki will replace the parts at no expense on the owner’s tab.Suzuki Gixxer SF 250There are many reasons that could have caused this issue. However, Suzuki has not revealed any concrete reasoning regarding what caused this abnormal wear of exhaust cam lobes. Nor did Suzuki reveal sample size affected by this recall, or the number of batches affected.Suzuki 250cc motorcycles in IndiaIf you discount the recent updates for Gixxer siblings, V-Strom SX 250 is the newest among these three motorcycles. V-Strom Suzuki launched in India is based on the very underrated Gixxer 250 platform. A lot of cycle parts have been shared between the three motorcycles. Especially the Engine and transmission. The engine even makes the same power and torque and also comes with the exact same state of tune.The 249 cc oil-cooled engine makes 26.5 PS of power and 22.2 Nm of torque. This engine is mated to a 6-speed transmission. This powertrain boasts a simpler SOHC setup with Suzuki’s famed oil cooling tech. All three motorcycles get almost similar cycle parts along with dual-channel ABS with no option to switch off ABS on the rear wheel even in V-Strom SX 250. With the February 2023 update, all three bikes also share their instrument clusters with similar features. More

      Yamaha Nmax 155 and Grand Filano Debuts In India – Launch this year?

      by

      New Yamaha Grand Filano 125ccThe upgraded features on Yamaha Grand Filano and Nmax 155 could potentially make it on Indian Fascino and Aerox 155 respectivelyCurrently, Yamaha has three scooters on sale in India. Two of these scooters come equipped with a 125cc mild hybrid engine. They are Fascino classic scooter and RayZR sporty scooter. Third scooter in Yamaha’s lineup is the Aerox 155. Yamaha’s flagship scooter in India shares its liquid-cooled powertrain with R15 motorcycle.With demand for scooters on the rise, Yamaha may be planning to launch more scooters in India. At the recent Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2024, Yamaha has showcased two new scooters. These are Grand Filano 125cc and Nmax 155cc. How different are Grand Filano and Nmax 155 from Fascino and Aerox?Yamaha Nmax 155 and Grand Filano Debuts In IndiaYamaha Grand Filano 125 Debuts in IndiaFor starters, both Grand Filano and Fascino follow the same neo-retro design theme that sticks to classic scooter theme and proportions. Both are elegant and classy in their own way. Fascino and Grand Filano are powered by a 125cc engine, generating similar numbers (8.2 PS and 10.3 Nm).Componentry includes RSU telescopic front forks, 12-inch alloy wheel at the front wrapped with 90/90-12 tubeless tyre, rear 10-inch alloy wheel wrapped with a 110/90-10 tyre, a swingarm-mounted rear suspension and others. There is an optional front disc brake and Fascino tips the scale at just 99 kg.2023 Yamaha Grand Filano 125ccWhat’s unique about Grand Filano is that it looks like an upgraded version of Fascino. We say this because of added features and conveniences and a sleeker and upmarket overall design. Design is subjective, but feature lists are usually objective and we can derive one better than the other.New Yamaha Grand Filano 125ccGrand Filano packs an upgraded instrument cluster with a TFT screen, a hazard light, an external fuel filler cap, front storage behind apron, a keyless start with a smart key and other features that Fascino lacks. So, Yamaha might be considering launching Grand Filano in India owing to the rise in demand for 125cc premium scooters.Yamaha Nmax 155 Debuts in IndiaSame can be said about Aerox 155 and Nmax 155 as well. Nmax 155 does pack a slightly more premium design and looks like a proper maxi scooter too. Both Yamaha Nmax 155 and Aerox 155 feature the same 155cc single-cylinder engine shared with the R15 motorcycle.New Yamaha NMAX 155cc ScooterUnlike Grand Filano’s fairly simple 125cc unit, this 155cc unit gets liquid cooling hardware, a DOHC setup, 4V head, Yamaha’s famed VVA (Variable Valve Actuation) and a lot of associated performance. We’re talking about 14.75 bhp of peak power and 13.9 Nm of peak torque.Yamaha showcasing these scooters from its global portfolio in India was likely a hint of launch owing to a rise in sporty and premium scooters. Currently, Aprilia SXR 160 is the only logical rival to Yamaha’s 155cc scooters and Hero is keen on carving a piece of this pie for itself with Xoom 160. More
