Tech integrations will include Bluetooth connectivity, real-time mileage indictor, low fuel indicator, SMS alert and caller ID. Utilities will include large under seat storage and USB mobile charging.Apart from these, Xude is likely to get some additional features as well.

It could also get a new digital instrument cluster and more features on the smartphone connectivity suite.Hero Xude performanceHero MotoCorp’s 125cc portfolio currently includes Destini and Maestro Edge. The 125cc engine will be the same for upcoming Xude. The air-cooled, 4-stroke unit churns out 9 bhp of max power and 10.4 Nm of peak torque. Other hardware such as suspension and braking apparatus could also be borrowed from Hero’s 125cc scooters.Hero Xude will compete with the likes of TVS Ntorq, Suzuki Burgman, Yamaha RayZR 125 and Honda Grazia. If offered at an affordable price point, Xude should be able to emerge as an attractive option in 125cc scooter segment. It remains to be seen if it can replicate the success of its smaller sibling Xoom. More

It is scheduled for launch on November 07, just a few days before Diwali.Himalayan 452 featuresIn terms of styling, Himalayan 452 is a lot sportier than the current model. The new version looks more agile and is expected to offer improved control and handling. The bike will also be lighter, with an unladen weight of 196 kg. In comparison, existing Himalayan 411 has a kerb weight of 199 kg. New Himalayan is longer and wider, measuring 2,245 mm and 852 mm, respectively. With handguards, the width will increase to 900 mm.Royal Enfield Himalayan 452 ColoursWheelbase is also longer at 1,510 mm, as compared to 1,465 mm of Himalayan 411. However, new Himalayan is shorter at 1,316 mm, compared to 1,370 mm of existing Himalayan. But if the tall screen is installed, new Himalayan will be 1,415 mm in height. New colours of the Royal Enfield Himalayan 452 have been spied. These are dual tone Golden Black and Grey Red.As compared to the flatbed type structure of the existing model, all-new Himalayan 452 has a bow-like arched profile.

Their latest creation Neev Nakshatra 650 Bobber is one of the best mod jobs done on Super Meteor 650.Neev Nakshatra 650 BobberRoyal Enfield Super Meteor 650 is like a wet dream for modders shooting for Chopper style or Bobber style motorcycle build when compared to Interceptor 650. This is because Super Meteor 650 packs a significantly revised chassis and ergonomics that saves modders precious time.We’re talking about a longer wheelbase and overall lower stance with Super Meteor 650 than Interceptor 650.

By shifting instrument cluster, handlebar area is kept clean. Speaking of handlebars, it is a custom unit that offers an upright seating posture. Headlights and the cowl around it are custom too. Neev has opted to give floating tank shrouds that lend a muscular aura.Major design overhaulSingle seat setup looks comfy with a custom cover. Engine bay is bully black and Neev has re-routed dual exhausts to have them both flow from the right. There is beefy underbelly protection too and gives an industrial look. USD front forks are likely to be stock along with rear shock absorbers. However, rear twin shockers get beefy covers.Mainframe is mostly kept identical to stock Super Meteor 650. There are new fenders at the front and rear. Along with that, Neev has added custom wheel covers that don constellation patterns. Braking setup still comprises of single-discs at both ends. Dual-channel ABS is still on the cards. Neev has added fat tyres at both ends, which lend an aggressive and muscular stance.Neev Nakshatra 650 Bobber muscular stanceRear tail light is new too and number plate is now shifted to the left side. Except for the exhaust re-routing, there don’t seem to be any engine modifications. So the 648cc parallel-twin engine on Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650 makes 47 bhp peak power and 52 Nm peak torque. This engine is mated to a 6-speed gearbox and a slipper clutch. More
