      2022 Suzuki Swish, Saluto 125cc Scooters Debut With New Features

      by

      2022 Suzuki Saluto 125cc ScooterIn India, Suzuki retails three scooters in the 125cc category including Access, Burgman Street and AvenisSuzuki has launched two updated scooters in Taiwan- Swish 125 and Saluto 125. Both 125cc scooters have undergone some significant changes in this yearly makeover. The scooters now receive some new features onboard apart from a brand new powertrain.While Swish has been priced at NT$82,800 (approx. INR 2.21 lakh), Saluto is offered at a price of NT$83,800 (approx. INR 2.24 lakh). Both scooters feature the same internals yet are very different in terms of their appearance. While Swish adopts a modern futuristic design language, Saluto sticks to its old-school retro charm.2022 Suzuki Swish 125cc – Design & FeaturesStarting with Swish, the scooter flaunts a sharp design with several cuts and creases which gives it a very sporty appeal. Some part of its styling is reminiscent of the Suzuki’s flagship motorcycle Hayabusa. It gets a single-pod LED headlamp cluster mounted on the front apron that comes with integrated LED DRLs and bulb turn indicators. The sportier appeal is accentuated thanks to faux air intakes.Swish gets three dual-tone colour schemes that are inspired by Hayabusa including Black/Gold, Silver/Red, and Blue/Silver. Coming to features, Swish 125 is loaded with features like a USB charging port, and a fully digital instrument cluster that displays speed, mileage, fuel level, time, and oil change alert. It also features an anti-skid footboard and a front glove box to store one’s knick-knacks.2022 Suzuki Swish 125cc Scooter2022 Suzuki Saluto 125cc – Design & FeaturesOn the other hand, the retro-style design of Saluto reminds us of Vespa. It features sleek body panels which give a very neat look to the scooter. Upfront, Saluto gets a rounded LED headlamp cluster with chrome or blacked-out bezel depending on the colour option. Speaking of which, Saluto is offered in two paint schemes namely Luca Green and Genoa Red.The apron of Saluto features turn indicators with integrated LED DRLs. Other visual highlights include circular rearview mirrors, a flat seat, air scoops on side panels, a chunky single-piece grab rail for the pillion and anti-skid strips on the footboard. In contrast to its retro styling, Saluto is offered a fairly modern list of features.The scooter is loaded with gizmos like full LED lighting, a hazard lamp, a semi-digital instrument cluster, a keyless ignition system, a keyless locking/unlocking mechanism and a USB charging port. For added convenience, Saluto also receives a multi-function switch for the seat and fuel lid. Like Swish, Saluto also misses out on any form of connectivity tech.2022 Suzuki Saluto 125cc ScooterEngine & Hardware SpecsComing to specifications, both Swish and Saluto are powered by a new 124cc single-cylinder, air-cooled engine with Suzuki Eco Performance (SEP) technology. This motor makes 8.67 bhp and 9.6 Nm of peak torque. Suspension duties on both scooters are handled by conventional telescopic forks at front and a mono-shock at rear. Stopping duties are taken care of by a disc brake at front and a drum brake at rear. More

      Honda Activa Electric Scooter Launch Likely In 2023 – Chetak Rival

      by

      Image for reference.Activa electric scooter will rival the likes of Ola S1, Bajaj Chetak, TVS iQube and upcoming Suzuki Burgman ElectricAs electric two-wheeler segment starts to mature, mainstream manufacturers are stepping up focus in this space. In the next couple of years, we could see multiple EV products from Hero MotoCorp, Suzuki, Yamaha, KTM and Husqvarna. Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India (HMSI) is also expected to launch its first EV in India.Honda Activa electric scooterActiva is the top selling scooter in the country and the top selling product in Honda’s India portfolio. Using the same nameplate to launch an electric scooter can work to the company’s advantage. It will be easier for users to connect with the brand’s USPs such as reliability, performance and long life.With Activa nameplate, breaking into the EV space and quickly establishing a strong presence will become easier for Honda. Atsushi Ogata, president at HMSI, has confirmed to ET Auto that the company will be readying its first EV for India by next financial year.It is not known if Honda will be developing an entirely new EV product for India or use a tweaked version of any of its existing electric two-wheelers currently available in international markets. Either way, not much can be said about what the product will look like and the features it will offer.Honda electric scooter with battery swap tech – Benly eTill now, the only Honda electric two-wheeler product seen in India is the Benly e scooter. It was spotted undergoing tests at Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI). In its home market Japan, Honda offers different models including Benly e: I, Benly e: I Pro, Benly e: II and Benly e: II Pro. The company has other electric two-wheelers as well such as PCX Electric, Gyro e: and Gyro canopy e:Benly e: and its variants are primarily meant for last-mile deliveries in B2B and B2C space. However, things like powertrain and other hardware can easily be used to build a commuter electric scooter. As Benly e has already been spotted here, there’s a strong possibility that it could be used as a base for Activa electric scooter.Swappable batteryHonda Activa electric scooter is likely to be offered with swappable batteries. The strategy could be similar to EV players like Bounce that offer standard ownership plans as well as subscription based plans.Honda electric scooter with battery swap tech – Benly eUsers have the option to buy the scooter with battery or without battery. In the latter case, pricing is reduced significantly. Users will be required to pay monthly subscription along with a fee every time they swap a drained battery for a fully-charged one.Honda has big plans in EV space and it has already setup a new subsidiary to manufacture battery packs. Formed with a capital of Rs 135 crore, this new subsidiary is registered in Bengaluru. It will cater to battery requirements of electric two-wheelers and electric auto rickshaws. By manufacturing battery packs locally, Honda should be able to launch Activa electric scooter and other EVs at a competitive price point.Source More

      Bajaj Pulsar 250 Blue Colour Launched – First Look Walkaround

      by

      Bajaj Pulsar 250 F Blue ColourMore colour options a bike has, the easier it becomes to satisfy varying user tastes and preferencesExpanding its Pulsar range, Bajaj had launched its biggest ever Pulsar motorcycles N250 and F250 last year in October. These were offered at introductory price of Rs 1.38 lakh and Rs 1.40 lakh, respectively. Current colour options for Pulsar 250 are Racing Red and Techno Grey. Although both N250 and F250 have the same colour option, they have different graphics.Bajaj Pulsar 250 BlueA move likely based on market feedback, a new blue colour has been introduced for Pulsar F250. This shade of blue is slightly different from blue shades used on other Bajaj motorcycles. Bajaj offers blue colour option with several of its bikes such as Pulsar NS200, 220F, Pulsar 150, NS125, Platina 110ES and CT110.This new colour is a darker shade of blue, which comes across as sportier and more eye-catchy. It appears to have a stronger gravity that immediately gets your attention. Not only this shade of blue is different, but also covers proportionately larger surface area in comparison to that of other blue-coloured Bajaj bikes.The blue shade covers most of the front cowl, side fairing and fuel tank. It has also been applied on the front fender, engine cowl and rear tail section. Sporty graphics and stickering further enhance the bike’s visual appeal. Take a look at the detailed walkaround of new Pulsar 250 blue colour in the video below by Dino’s Vault.[embedded content][embedded content]The rest of the bike’s surfaces are in black, which creates an exciting contrast. Bronze shade on the engine adds another interesting dimension to the bike’s aesthetics. On other bikes, this blue shade may come across as gaudy. But on Pulsar F250, it works to compliment the bike’s stunning design and styling. This is truly for those with ‘have it flaunt it’ mindset.It is possible that this new blue shade can be introduced for Pulsar N250 as well. Both bikes have quite a few similarities, so the new blue shade can work for N250 also. We will have to wait for an official confirmation on this.No other updatesApart from the new colour option, everything else is the same as earlier. Pulsar 250 is powered by a 249.07 cc, single cylinder, 2 valve, SOHC, oil cooled motor that generates 24.5 ps of max power at 8,750 rpm and 21.5 Nm of peak torque at 6,500 rpm. It is mated to a constant mesh 5-speed gearbox.Bajaj Pulsar 250 F Blue ColourBraking duties are performed by disc brakes at both ends, integrated with single-channel ABS. Pulsar 250 has telescopic front forks and Nitrox monoshock suspension at rear. The bike runs on 17-inch wheels at both ends, shod with 100/80 front and 130/70 rear tubeless tyres.It is rumoured that Bajaj could launch a 500cc Pulsar in future. It will be powered by a new 490cc parallel-twin engine that is currently under development in collaboration with KTM. Bajaj has registered the ‘Twinner’ word mark, which has fuelled speculations about a 500cc Pulsar. More
