      2022 Ather Electric Scooter Facelift Details Leak – New Battery, More Power, Range

      by

      With more power output and range on offer, we expect the updated Ather 450X to be more expensive than the current modelAther Electric ScooterWith Ola taking lead in sales, TVS launching updated iQube with more range, it is now time for Ather to give their electric scooter an update. Ather Energy is all set to launch an updated version of its primary seller 450X. 2022 Ather Electric Scooter 450X will come with some additional features and changes to its specifications.A leaked approval document filed by Ather Energy at the ARAI (Automotive Research Institute of India) in Pune, gives ideas regarding updates on the scooter. The updates aren’t drastic and yet they are likely to impact the riding experience of owners significantly.2022 Ather 450X Facelift – UpdatesFor starters, the updated Ather 450X will receive a new 3.66kW Lithium-ion battery pack which is an upgrade from the current 2.6kW unit. This has resulted in an increase in peak power and also affects the maximum range on a full charge positively. Also, Ather will offer the premium electric scooter in two settings.In the first setting, 450X gets five riding modes including Warp Mode, Sport Mode, Ride Mode, Eco Mode and the new Smart Eco Mode. The second setting, which seems to be a variant with some reduced battery capacity, gets four riding modes with no Warp mode on offer. In all probability, the second setting will be locked and only available to owners at some special requests.2022 Ather Electric Scooter 450X Facelift – Details LeakMore Power, More Range AvailableThe type approval document mentions that peak power output for the updated 450X will be 6.4kW in the most aggressive Warp mode. The nominal output stands at 3.1kW for the same mode. Peak and nominal power outputs decrease with a change in mode from Sport to Eco. For Sport Mode, peak and nominal output are rated at 5.8kW and 3.1kW respectively.By installing a more powerful battery, 450X will make some serious improvements as far as range is concerned. For setting 1, maximum range is rated at 146km and for setting 2 it strangely drops to 108km for a single charge. These are ARAI-rated figures and real-world range will expectedly differ from these figures.Change in dimensionsInterestingly, overall length and wheelbase of the updated 450X have been increased by 25mm and 9mm respectively from the current model. Overall, height has also been increased by 11mm although width remains the same. Although there is no mention of features, we expect Ather to make some tweaks to the scooter’s equipment as well. It could well be the first proper facelift given to Ather electric scooter.Currently, Ather 450X is loaded with features like full-LED lighting, a 4.2-inch touchscreen instrument cluster, Bluetooth connectivity, integrated 4G LTE SIM connectivity, onboard navigation, digital document storage, music & call controls, reverse mode, etc. Hardware setup on the electric scooter comprises telescopic front forks, rear mono-shock, and disc brakes on both wheels.

      New Royal Enfield Meteor 350X Variant Spied Ahead Of Launch

      by

      The new variant will be sold alongside the variants that are already on sale today2022 Royal Enfield Meteor 350XLooks like Royal Enfield is on a spree of launching motorcycles with a ton of motorcycles currently under testing. Most expected launches are Meteor 650, Shotgun 650, Himalayan 450, 450 Scram, Hunter 350, new Bullet 350 and then a new variant of Meteor 350 too.Meteor 350 is one of Royal Enfield’s most popular motorcycles on sale in India. It strikes a right balance between price and performance while offering decent cruise ability too. We had covered this in the past predicting that the new variant of Meteor 350 will be a sportier version like Thunderbird’s X variants. But the new spy shot reveals very little changes to the motorcycle.New Meteor 350X VariantLooking at the spy shot, we are hard pressed to spot any additions or deletions Royal Enfield is going for. But there aren’t any. Everything we see on the new spy shot, already exists on the Meteor 350 that is on sale in India. But when we see closely, the changes start to fall in place.Royal Enfield’s Meteor 350 currently gets 3 variants. Fireball, Stellar and Supernova. Stellar and Supernova get classic colour shades and chrome exhaust to add retro flair. On top of colour differences, Stellar adds a backrest for the pillion and on top of it, Supernova adds a front windscreen. Base Fireball variant gets a sporty appeal with black finish on the entire motorcycle except for the red fuel tank.New Royal Enfield Meteor 350X Variant SpiedIf a customer wants a sporty look, he doesn’t get features like a windscreen and pillion backrest. If they go with these features, the sporty appeal is replaced with retro charm and the chrome bling. There was never a middle ground and that’s where this new variant will come in. In the spy shot, it gets a black rear mudguard, black exhaust and everything like on Fireball but it also gets a pillion backrest. This combination didn’t exist before.New Royal Enfield Meteor 350X can be expected to come with Fireball’s colour scheme along with Supernova’s features like a pillion backrest and a windscreen at front. For the sake of variety, Royal Enfield can also throw in sporty tyres and a slightly stiffened suspension to match the visual sportiness of the Meteor 350.Specs & LaunchThe new variant is expected to be launched in the coming days. We expect some styling changes, new colours and along with it, some new design elements can be deleted or added based on the flavour Royal Enfield is eyeing for.Meteor 350 is a well-sorted package in terms of powertrain and chassis. It is based on the company’s new ‘J’ platform and gets the new 349 cc JD1 engine by Royal Enfield. It makes 20.2 bhp of power at 6100 RPM and a healthy 27 Nm of torque at 4000 RPM. This engine is coupled to a 5-speed transmission. The new variant is expected to retain the same powertrain and chassis. When launched, it will lock horns with Honda CB350RS and classic cruisers from Jawa, Benelli Imperiale 400 and Yezdi Roadster. Also expect a slight price premium over the current top-spec Supernova variant. More

Another critical difference is the riding ergonomics between the two bikes.The semi-faired F250 gets a clip-on handlebar which is slightly taller and offers a comfortable posture. On the other hand, N250 gets a single-piece handlebar which is set slightly lower and thus offers a more committed riding posture.

      by

      Hero MotoCorp announces price revision for its range of scooters and motorcycles to the extent of Rs 3,000 wef July 1, 2022New Hero SplendorPrice hikes continue to be a necessary evil. And whether we factor them into spending, they are here to stay. In recent times, there’s been plenty of chatter around increase in prices of LPG, petrol, cooking oil, staples, dining out, flight tickets, and so on. The list is endless and parts of it affect almost everyone.Earlier today, Hero MotoCorp announced a price revision on ex-sh price of its range of motorcycles and scooters. The price hike is effective from July 1, 2022. Price revisions in this instance are subject to model and market. And will be upto a range of Rs 3,000.Overall cost inflationHero MotoCorp attributes the price revision ‘to partially offset the steadily growing overall cost inflation, including commodity prices’. The auto manufacturer dominates the market with its large volume business.With monthly sales surpassing lakhs, this price hike directly affects lakhs of customers. In May 2022, Hero MotoCorp reported domestic sales at 4,66,466 units. To ensure that the financial burden passed onto customers isn’t intimidating, it’s passed onto customers in a phased manner.Hero MotoCorp Sales May 2022However, a range of price revision announcements each year is no longer a phenomenon that surprises. The market has come to accept them, almost as though they’re factored into purchases. To understand why the 2W market is larger than life in India, one only needs to look at the number of total sales reported each month. In May 2022, domestic two-wheeler sales surpassed the 12 lakh unit mark. In comparison, car sales were just shy of the 3 lakh unit mark last month.Having first announced a price revision from early January this year, the company followed it up with a similar announcement for April. Both previous price hikes were capped at 2k each on ex-sh prices. The current rise of 3k isn’t expected to be the last of the year. And the trend puts estimated price revisions through the year to an expected up to Rs 10k or more, specific to model and market.Hero MotoCorp exportsWhile domestic market sales continue to stay in sight of the 5 lakh units monthly goal, the company has been enthusiastic about exports. Earlier in the week, the manufacturer announced the launch of 3 Euro V variants in Turkey. This includes an Xpulse 200 4V motorcycle, and 2 scooters – Dash 110, and 125cc.Though not big on product portfolio in Turkey, the company sees its bikes sold through a network that surpasses 100 touchpoints. Soysal Group has functioned as an exclusive distributor of Hero MotoCorp since 2014. With exports to 40 markets, total exports last month breached the 20k unit mark. More

      Moto Morini 650cc ADV India Launch Likely – Versys 650 Rival

      by

      Moto Morini has partnered up with Adishwar Auto Ride India Pvt Ltd to launch their portfolio in IndiaMoto Morini 650cc ADV Motorcycle – X CapeMoto Morini might not have been a familiar name in India, but the Italian motorcycle manufacturer wants to change that. They have announced a partnership with Hyderabad based Adishwar Auto Ride India (AARI). They also handle operations of Benelli and Keeway in India.Moto Morini has a golden eagle as its logo and two M stacked on top of each other honouring founder Alfonso Morini and contributor Mario Mazzetti. Looking at the eagle, one might think that it is an American brand. But no. It is an Italian pedigree motorcycle manufacturer from Milan, Italy.Moto Morini BrandMoto Morini was founded by Alfonso Morini in 1937 in Bologna, Italy. After facing tough times during World War II, Moto Morini has been one of the most successful motorcycle companies in Italy. Ever since its inception, Moto Morini has been extremely active in motorsports. It has had several wins and podiums along its rich heritage competing with other Italian motorcycle brands.After its golden age, it has seen some ownership changes. In 1987, it came under Cagiva and in 1996, it was owned by Texas Pacific Group, who also owned Ducati at that time. In 1999, it was in the hands of Morini Franco Motori Spa, which was founded by Alfonso Morini’s nephew. Franco Morini’s son Maurizio involved the Berti family in the Moto Morini relaunch program.Moto Morini 650cc ADV Motorcycle – X CapeIn 2005, it was reborn with Corsaro 1200 series and 9 1/2 series of motorcycles. The 1200 series had a 1187cc V-twin engine with an 87-degree V angle and DOHC setup that was good for 140bhp. While the 9 1/2 series had a smaller displacement from the 1200’s block. This displaced 948cc and was good for 117 bhp.It launched more motorcycles for a while till 2010 when the company was liquidated. In 2015, the ownership was entirely passed on to Jannuzzelli family which developed Corsaro ZZ, Corsaro ZT and Milano also making them Euro 4 emission norm compliant. It was in 2018 when Moto Morini fell into the ownership of Chinese company Zhongneng Vehicle Group a.k.a. Znen Group.Moto Morini X-Cape 650Under Znen, Moto Morini sold Corsaro 1200 ZZ, Corsaro 1200 ZT, Milano and Super Scrambler 1200. Currently, Moto Morini has had a restructuring of its product lineup and the official website only has two models of which, one is still yet to launch in Europe. We can take a look at X-Cape 650 which is available and has a better chance of becoming the first Moto Morini bike in India.Moto Morini 650cc ADV Motorcycle – X CapeIt is an adventure tourer motorcycle powered by a 649cc straight-twin engine that gets DOHC design with 4 valves per cylinder. In a limited edition avatar, it makes 48bhp and in standard avatar, we expect it to make less power. It gets a handsome design with a tall windscreen at front. It gets a large 7” display, panniers, full LED headlights and also gets heated knobs.For serious off-roading, it gets a 19” spoked wheel at front and a smaller size spoked wheel at back wrapped with Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR tyres. It also gets fully adjustable 50mm front Marzocchi forks and a switchable ABS system with braking hardware from Brembo.Moto Morini 6 1/2 SeiemmezzoMoto Morini 6 1/2 SeiemmezzoWith design language inspired by bigger 9 1/2 and 11 1/2 motorcycles, 6 1/2 Seiemmezzo is a scrambler-style motorcycle. It gets minimal design language and is powered by the same engine powering the X-Cape. It gets SCR and STR variants and gets beautiful round headlights with round LED DRL and an LED projector taking care of illumination. Not a lot is known about this motorcycle yet as it is an upcoming motorcycle from Moto Morini.Launch & PricingMoto Morini bikes will be sold by AARI in India through their already established dealer network and touchpoints. Expect existing Benelli India dealer network to showcase and sell upcoming Moto Morini motorcycles.Expect X-Cape 650 to debut first, bearing the Moto Morini marque and 6 1/2 will follow later. X-Cape 650 will come in 4 different colour schemes, Red Passion, Smoky Anthracite, Carrara white and Gold Wheels Edition. When launched, it might be priced slightly higher than Benelli TRK 502 and below the Kawasaki Versys 650. Apart from these two, it will also compete with Honda CB500X. More
