    Aprilia 440cc Spied Testing Again – New Details (KTM RC 390 Rival)

    New Aprilia RS 440 front design. Image – Evo IndiaThe new 440cc parallel-twin engine on new Aprilia RS 440 is expected to develop around 45 bhp of power and 40 Nm of torqueAfter Benelli ceased production of 302R, the 300cc to 500cc multi-cylinder motorcycle segment has been yearning for an Italian offering. Aprilia seems to have figured this out. The Italian marquee is developing a brand new motorcycle that will sit below its RS 660 middle-weight super sport motorcycle.New Aprilia RS 440 – Baby RS with a pedigree?Aprilia is shooting for this genre with an all-new platform and engine. This will prove to be a more beginner-friendly offering than RS 660. Also, prove as a step up for motorcyclists upgrading from smaller machines. There have been multiple test mule sightings for Aprilia’s new baby RS. New spy shots show refinements in body design. We can also see both front, side and rear views of Aprilia’s new sports bike.New Aprilia RS 440From the front, Aprilia family genes are immediately evident. We can see a similar LED DRL design as the new RS 660. Not only do these LED DRLs underline headlights, but they shoot up into its fairing. There is a split headlight design and we hope both units have low and high beams in each.A neatly integrated windshield that should provide decent wind protection when tucked. We couldn’t see any exposed turn indicators at the fairing. This might be an indication that LED DRLs might double as turn indicators.New Aprilia RS 440There may be flush turn indicators in the fairing too. Fairing is very handsome and can be the new Aprilia RS 440’s main strength. Towards the side, we can see the exposed cast perimeter frame along with a sculpted fuel tank.Componentry and powertrainsThere is a neat underbelly exhaust that is a sign of mass centralization. Fairing covers most of the engine and we can see some of it. Rear swingarm is a custom cast unit that isn’t as sophisticated as the one on its bigger brother RS 660. Braking is less sophisticated too, as RS 660 has twin disc setup in the front.New Aprilia RS 440 has a single disc setup at both ends. Front seems to have radial calipers. Twin disc setup at the front could look a lot better and complement the overall design aesthetic Aprilia is going for. LED tail lights look smart. RS 440 lacks a tyre hugger.This could debut a new twin-cylinder 440cc engine with around 45 bhp and 40 Nm along with liquid cooling and 6-speed gearbox. Fully digital instrument screen, dual-channel ABS, bi-directional quick shifter are highly likely. Recently launched 2024 KTM 390 Duke and Kawasaki Ninja 400 are primary rivals. More

    New TVS Apache 310 Street Bookings Open – Side Profile Teased

    New TVS Apache 310 StreetUpon launch, TVS Apache 310 Street will challenge rivals like KTM Duke range, Honda CB300R and upcoming Yamaha MT-03For enthusiasts looking for an optimal mix of style and performance at an affordable price point, one of the preferred options is TVS Apache range. The flagship is RR310, which has been developed in collaboration with BMW. There will soon be more choices, with upcoming launch of Apache 310 Street.BMW already sells its street version, the G310R. There’s G310GS ADV bike and G310RR sports bike as well based on the same platform. These are sold across more than 100 countries, something that highlights the strength of BMW-TVS partnership.New TVS Apache 310 StreetTVS Apache 310 Street featuresIt is likely that several of the features and components will be common across BMW G310R and upcoming TVS Apache 310 street bike. There will be some similarities with Apache RR310 as well. In terms of achieving a distinctive profile, there will be changes across the front fascia, alloy wheels, exhaust and choice of colours.Based on test mule sightings and teasers, it has already been revealed that upcoming Apache 310 Street will have USD forks at front and a monoshock at rear. The bike will have a split seat design, similar to that of RR310. The tail lamp unit looks new and there’s a tyre hugger that holds the number plate and turn indicators.New TVS Apache 310 StreetOther unique aspects include a new square-shaped TFT display. It is different from the rectangular, vertically positioned unit in use with RR310. It is possible that some new functions could be added, in addition to the ones available with RR310.

Fuel efficiency could also be higher with the reduced weight. Apache 310 Street will have a relatively comfortable riding stance in comparison to its faired sibling.

    Bajaj Pulsar Trolls Hero Karizma – Who Is The Original Legend Killer?

    Bajaj trolled Hero Karizma200cc sporty fully-faired motorcycle segment is heating up with the launch of new Karizma XMR 210 on August 29th, 2023Automotive rivalry is often very amusing. This is especially true when manufacturers actively take a dig at each other. Like Chevy and Ford trolling each other in the US and Tata Motors trolling Maruti Suzuki and Hyundai in India. Hero MotoCorp is set to launch the new Karizma, but Bajaj Auto just couldn’t hold back from pulling their leg. Hero MotoCorp used ‘Ride Your Legend’ tagline in Karizma XMR 210’s new instrument cluster. Now Bajaj Pulsar’s official Instagram channel trolls Karizma. Let’s take a look.Bajaj Trolls Hero Karizma – Rivalry reboot!This is not the first time Bajaj trolled other bikemakers. We have seen Bajaj’s innovative ‘Haathi Mat Paalo’ adverts, taking a dig at Royal Enfield. Now, their focus is the new Karizma. Historically speaking, Hero’s Karizma line has always rivalled semi-faired and fully-faired Pulsar 220 and Pulsar RS respectively.Hero Karizma XMR 210 new instrument clusterBajaj Pulsar trolled Karizma by positioning itself as ‘The Original Legend Killer’ with a Pulsar NS in the background doing a wheelie. There is a text below it in French that could mean “Tonight, we’ll give you a volley”? And in the text box, it mentioned “Who am I talking about? IFKYK (If You Know You Know)” followed by a Winking Smiley.For a long time, Hero didn’t have the Karizma on sale and Xtreme 200S was the only alternative to fill in Karizma’s shoes. Xtreme 200S is a fully-faired machine from Hero, which recently got the 4V update. That said, sales and popularity have never been Xtreme 200S’ forte. Bajaj didn’t troll Xtreme 200S before. Maybe because Bajaj didn’t see Xtreme 200S as a direct threat, unlike Karizma XMR 210. That said, Hero has worked really hard to create a proper enthusiast machine that takes the fight directly to the Pulsar RS200.Will ‘Legend’ prove more popular than ‘Legend Killer’?Pulsar RS200 gets a KTM-sourced 199.5cc single-cylinder engine with 24.1 bhp of power and 18.7 Nm of torque. Iit is not exactly identical to the 200 Duke’s engine. Pulsar RS200 only gets an SOHC setup as opposed to a DOHC setup on 200 Duke. But it boasts a liquid-cooling setup, a 4V head and a 6-speed gearbox.As seen with new Karizma teaser, XMR 210 gets a DOHC config, liquid cooling and 6-speed gearbox. A 4V head is highly likely too. On paper, Hero Karizma XMR 210 already has an upper hand even before unveiling. The fairing looks sharp and will pack some sort of tubular chassis.With a large fully digital instrument cluster with Bluetooth smartphone integration and other modern features, Karizma feels more modern and tech-savvy. Add to it LED headlights and turn indicators along with new switchgear, Karizma has come a long way and it would be interesting to see how it would stack up against the Pulsar RS200. Hero will launch the new Karizma XMR 210 on August 29th, 2023. More
