      by

      Bajaj Chetak : Image – MRD VlogsCurrently the #3 best-selling electric scooter in India, Bajaj Chetak is expected to come with a price cut, sweetening the deal further
      Among the popular electric scooters in India, Bajaj Chetak is among the best-selling one. Indian electric scooter buyers have embraced Chetak’s retro design and trust factor associated with Bajaj brand. Numbers reflect the success story of Chetak as sales have tripled when compared to last year’s stats. Let’s break the numbers further.
      Bajaj Chetak Sales Tripled
      Within last year, Bajaj has improved its sales prospects significantly, when it comes to the Chetak electric scooters. This is one of the notable glow-ups in electric scooter sales and signifies the increasing desirability of Chetak electric scooter brand.
      Bajaj Chetak Sales Tripled YoY
      Within the last year, Chetak has outperformed its sales numbers from a year ago considerably. From August 2023 to July 2024, Bajaj has sold as many as 1,51,308 units of Chetak electric scooters. When compared to the 52,169 units sold between August 2022 to July 2023, there was a 190.03% YoY growth with a volume gain of 99,139 units.
      Average monthly Bajaj Chetak sales between August 2023 and July 2024 was 12,609 units, which is almost 3 times higher (2.9 times to be precise) than the 4,347 units average monthly sales between August 2022 and July 2023. The difference between average monthly sales YoY is 8,262 units per month.
      2024 Bajaj Chetak New Variant
      As seen in the table above, Bajaj Chetak sales peaked at an all-time high last month in July 2024. With 20,114 units sold last month, Bajaj Chetak registered a massive 344% YoY growth over 4,528 units sold in July 2023. Which is close to 5X growth in sales, clocking a volume gain of 15,586 units YoY.
      Other notable outcomes can be seen in February 2024, where sales growth YoY touched an astounding 417%. The 13,620 units sold that month was more than 5X the sales clocked in preceding year with 2,634 units sold and there was a volume gain of 10,986 units that month.
      Rs 8k Price Cut With Chetak
      A recent report suggests that Bajaj Chetak scooter range is set to receive a major rejig in the coming months. This update will ensure that there are significant changes to battery cells inside the pack, unlocking more range on a single charge than before. Battery capacity, however, will remain the same.
      The variant names of Chetak scooters, Urbane and Premium, will reportedly get a reboot to 3202 and 3201, respectively. Similar to what we saw with the Chetak 2901 Edition. Apart from this rejig in names and battery cells, there is a significant price cut expected too. Speculations suggest a Rs 8,000 slashed off the current Ex-sh prices. More

      2025 KTM 390 Adventure Enduro Spotted Again – New Details Emerge

      by

      2025 KTM 390 Adventure Enduro SpiedPowering the upcoming KTM 390 Adventure Enduro will be the same 399cc engine that does duty on the new KTM 390 Duke
      For off-road enthusiasts in India, KTM currently offers the 390 Adventure and 390 Adventure X. To facilitate more thrilling rides, KTM will soon bring the 390 Adventure Enduro model to India. Launch is expected later this year or in early 2025.
      2025 KTM 390 Adventure Enduro – What to expect?
      Earlier this year in March, KTM 390 Adventure Enduro was spotted testing for the first time in India. It was spotted alongside the new 390 Adventure that is also expected to be launched in the coming months.
      2025 KTM 390 Adventure Enduro Spied
      Latest spy shots reveal that 390 Adventure Enduro is undergoing some heavy testing during the monsoon season. With the amount of dust and debris on the test mule, it seems like the bike has been on a long, arduous journey. While spy shots are from an on-road environment, some off-road trails could have been on the bike’s travel plans.
      Even a quick glance is enough to conclude that KTM 390 Adventure Enduro is primed to conquer the most challenging trails. The Enduro is essentially a stripped-down version of the 390 Adventure. It has minimal fairing, no windscreen and a short tail section. Being lightweight, KTM 390 Enduro will have a higher power-to-weight ratio. The bike’s agile characteristics and overall control and handling are also improved with a lower weight profile.
      2025 KTM 390 Adventure Enduro Spied
      Some of the key features include a raised front fender, sleek LED headlight and LED turn signals and polygonal rear-view mirrors. The bike has a sculpted fuel tank, raised handlebar, flat seat design, toothed foot pegs and underbelly exhaust. Riding stance looks fairly comfortable, making the bike suitable for longer rides. Tech kit will include a simple LCD instrument display with Bluetooth connectivity. However, more advanced features such as turn-by-turn navigation may not be available.

      2025 KTM 390 Adventure Enduro – Performance, specs
      Both the new 390 Adventure and Adventure Enduro will be getting the 399cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine. It is the same as in use with the KTM 390 Duke. Delivering 45 PS and 39 Nm, the engine is mated to a 6-speed gearbox. The engine could be tweaked to suit the bike’s ADV credentials.
      2025 KTM 390 Adventure Enduro Spied
      Talking about the core hardware, KTM 390 Adventure Enduro will borrow most of the components from the 390 Adventure. Front inverted forks have a long suspension travel, whereas a WP offset monoshock does duty at the rear. The test mule appears to be riding on 21-inch and 18-inch wheels at front and rear, respectively. Braking setup could comprise 320 mm front and 230 mm rear disc brakes. The brake lever will be an adjustable unit and the same could be true for the clutch lever as well.

      KTM 390 Adventure Enduro – Launch date, price
      It is expected that KTM will showcase the 390 Adventure Enduro at the upcoming EICMA, scheduled for November 7-10. The bike could be launched subsequently by the end of this year or early 2025. Launch price could be around Rs 3.60 lakh. KTM 390 Adventure Enduro will primarily rival the upcoming Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 Raid.

      2025 Bajaj Pulsar N125 Spotted – Could Get New Improved Engine

      by

      2025 Bajaj Pulsar N125 SpiedUpon launch, Bajaj Pulsar N125 will take on rivals such as Hero Xtreme 125R, TVS Raider 125 and Honda SP 125
      Since the start of this year, Bajaj has been busy updating its bestselling Pulsar range. Enthusiasts were also delighted to witness the launch of the biggest Pulsar – NS400Z. Next upcoming product is the Pulsar N125.
      Bajaj Pulsar N125 – Key features
      Upcoming Pulsar N125 has been spotted on road tests multiple times in recent months. The 125cc commuter segment has been registering strong growth and can accommodate new products like Pulsar N125. Bajaj Pulsar 125cc range currently includes the Pulsar 125 and Pulsar NS125. Based on test mule sightings, it appears that Pulsar N125 borrows signature features seen with its larger sibling, the Pulsar N150.
      2025 Bajaj Pulsar N125 Spied
      Similarities are evident across features such as the sculpted fuel tank and tank shrouds, alloy wheel design and slim tail section. The bike has split seat format and gets a robust single-piece grab rail. Just like N150, Pulsar N125 gets an underbelly exhaust. The rear tyre hugger also seems to be a shared component.
      Features that are unique to Pulsar N125 include a new headlight design. The headlight and tail light appear to be LED units, whereas standard halogen bulbs have been used for the turn signals. Riding stance is fairly comfortable with centrally mounted footpegs and a wide, easy to reach handlebar.
      2025 Bajaj Pulsar N125 Spied
      Other key features noticed with the test mule include a leg guard and polygonal rear-view mirrors. The latter has a different design in comparison to that of the Pulsar N150. Tech pack will include a negative LCD instrument console. It could be the same unit as seen with the Pulsar N150. A range of information is displayed such as speedometer, odometer and distance to empty.
      2025 Bajaj Pulsar N125 Spied
      The digital console has Bluetooth connectivity, allowing users to access calls and text. Users can also access other connected features via the Bajaj Ride Connect app. However, Pulsar N125 is unlikely to get features like turn-by-turn navigation.
      Bajaj Pulsar N125 – Performance, specs
      It is expected that Pulsar N125 will be getting a new 125cc engine. While the existing 125cc engine in use with Pulsar 125 and Pulsar NS125 delivers good performance, there is definitely scope for some improvement. Especially considering that the existing 125cc engine hasn’t received any major updates in recent years. It seems a bit outdated when compared to 125cc engines in use with rival 125cc bikes.
      2025 Bajaj Pulsar N125 Spied
      Bajaj can introduce an entirely new 125cc engine or use a tweaked version of the 150cc engine in use with Pulsar N150. The new 125cc engine is expected to offer improved performance and possibly higher fuel efficiency as well.
      2025 Bajaj Pulsar N125 Spied
      As evident with the test mule, Pulsar N125 has telescopic forks at front and a monoshock rear suspension. Braking setup comprises a disc-drum combo. Upcoming Bajaj Pulsar N125 could be launched at a starting price of Rs 1 lakh. It is expected to go on sale during the upcoming festive season.

      New TVS Jupiter 110 Vs Honda Activa Vs Hero Pleasure+ – Specs, Features Compared

      by

      New TVS Jupiter Vs Honda Activa Vs Hero Pleasure+With the new iGO Assist micro hybrid technology, new TVS Jupiter gets electrical assistance taking the torque figure to 9.8 Nm
      The new TVS Jupiter 110 has been launched in India for a starting price of Rs 73,700 (Ex-sh). With this new scooter, TVS aims to increase its market share in scooter segment, which Honda Activa rules. Honda Activa and Hero Pleasure+ are the only two conventionally designed family scooters with a 110cc engine in India. Let’s see how the rivalry stacks up with new Jupiter.
      New TVS Jupiter 110 Vs Rivals
      With a major update in the features list and an evolutionary leap towards a modern design language, new TVS Jupiter challenges other 110cc conventional family scooters in the segment. Which zeroes down to Honda Activa and Hero Pleasure+. Offerings like Honda Dio 110 and Hero Xoom 110 come under sporty scooter genre and don’t coincide with new TVS Jupiter.
      New TVS Jupiter Vs Rivals – Specs & Pricing
      Within this trio, pricing plays a key role. In typical Hero fashion, Pleasure+ strikes the lowest prices starting from Rs 71,213 (Ex-sh). The just-launched Jupiter prices start from Rs 73,700 (Ex-sh) and the best-seller Honda Activa starts from Rs 76,684 (Ex-sh). TVS further one ups the competition by offering features like LED headlights and LED tail lights as standard.
      Where top-spec variants are concerned, it is the new TVS Jupiter that is priced at a premium setting the bar high at Rs 87,250 (Ex-sh), while Honda and Hero only goes till Rs 83K (Ex-sh). Putting the prices aside, New Jupiter brings the largest engine at 113.3cc. It is also the only one with micro-hybrid technology boasting electric assistance.
      New TVS Jupiter Vs Rivals – Dimensions
      Thus quoting highest torque metrics of up to 9.8 Nm. Peak power is still around the 8 bhp mark for all contenders. All scooters come with CVT gearbox and come equipped with around 5L fuel tank. We got to experience the new chassis underpinning the New Jupiter along with improved stability and agility and can be termed as segment-best.
      All scooters weigh around the 105 kg mark. Pleasure+ has the shortest length, wheelbase and ground clearance, but is the widest. New Jupiter stands 163 mm above the ground, 1 mm higher than Activa. Seat height is the same in this segment and the same can be said about ergonomics too.
      New TVS Jupiter Vs Rivals – Componentry
      Specs and Features
      Telescopic front brakes are common in this segment and so is rear single-sided mono-shock setup. All scooters offer alloy wheels with their top variants and steel wheels with base variants. New Jupiter has an edge here as it is the only one offering 12-inch wheels at both ends. Activa offers 12-inch only at the front and Pleasure offers 10-inch wheels at both ends.
      TVS Motor offers a disc brake option at the front which is of petal type, which proves better heat dissipation. Where features are concerned, Honda is the only one that offers a smart key with Activa and Hero is the only one to offer projector LED headlights and an LED boot lamp. Honda doesn’t bother with a digital cluster and Bluetooth connectivity, while Hero is halfway there.
      New TVS Jupiter Vs Rivals – Features
      New Jupiter goes beyond and offers a fully digital colour instrument cluster with SmartXonnect connectivity unlocking turn-by-turn navigation. TVS is the only one to give LED turn indicators along with a hazard light feature that also works with panic braking. Hero Pleasure+ omits external fuel filler cap and Honda omits USB charger.
      Except for a smart key, TVS New Jupiter offers a whole lot more features than Honda Activa. However, the convenience of a smart key is unmatched and could act as a hook to choose Honda Activa. Other than that, new TVS Jupiter emerges as the most feature loaded and tech-savvy with a new generation engine and platform. More
