      Harley Davidson 2021 Sportster S India Launch At 2021 IBW

      by

      Harley Davidson 2021 Sportster SThe 1250cc V-Twin motor in Sportster S has been tuned to produce more torque and offer more low-end and mid-range grunt
      The Sportster brand has been an iconic range of cruisers under Harley Davidson’s portfolio which has been in continuous production since 1957. Harley Davidson unveiled its latest sport custom motorcycle named Sportster S earlier this year.
      Now it is getting ready for India launch. Today, Harley Davidson India revealed that the motorcycle will be launched at the 2021 India Bike Week, which is scheduled to take place near Lonavala in Maharashtra on 4-5 Dec 2021.
      Harley Davidson 2021 Sportster S – Custom-like Design
      The final production model of Sportster S made its first appearance as a Custom concept almost four years back and still stays very much similar. The silhouette of production-spec Sportster S is retained with beefy twin-can exhausts, chunky tyres and a single-piece seat.
      The bike gets a large skid plate underneath and a nice flat line from tank to seat whereas the massive front tyre and a short fender lends it a classic bobber look. Upfront, Sportster S flaunts a capsule-shaped headlight which looks a little quirky. Other styling highlights such as the flat tail section, with a cowl, single-piece saddle and upswept golden-coloured exhaust mufflers draw inspiration from Harley Davidson XR750 flat tracker.

      The powertrain is highlighted by the use of a Chocolate Satin finish on the magnesium engine covers. The cruiser will be offered in three colour options namely Stone Washed White Pearl, Midnight Crimson and Vivid Black. Overall, the cruiser has been crafted in a manner to make it look like a custom-built bike.
      Hardware Configurations
      Harley Davidson has also updated the chassis of the new Sportster S where the engine now acts as the stress member. This is done to reduce the weight of the bike. Further, the use of lightweight materials has helped achieve an optimum power-to-weight ratio. The company also claims that a stiffer chassis has improved the handling of the motorcycle. The tubular steel frame is suspended on Showa 43mm inverted forks at front and a SHOWA Piggyback mono-shock at rear.
      While the front suspension unit is fully adjustable, the rear unit features hydraulic preload adjustment. The motorcycle rides on 17-inch front and 16-inch rear lightweight cast-aluminum wheels with a staggered, five-spoke design. Braking duties are handled by a 320mm disc chewed down by a four-piston, radial monoblock Brembo caliper at front and a 260mm disc held by a twin-piston Brembo caliper at rear.

      RE-Tuned V-Twin Motor
      The powertrain features a 1250cc Revolution Max 1250T engine at its mechanical heart. This unit is the American bikemaker’s latest iteration of a liquid-cooled 60-degree V-Twin engine which has been derived from Pan America 1250. However, in Sportster S, it makes 121 bhp and 125 Nm of torque which is 30 horses less than what is offered in its hardcore adventure bike sibling. The engine is married to a six-speed gearbox with a slipper clutch.
      While the output is on the lower side, Harley says the engine has been tuned to offer more grunt at low-end and mid-range. The engine also offers 10 percent more torque between 3,000 and 6,000 rpm. The 1,250cc unit also features other modern technologies such as VVT (Variable Valve Timing) and DOHC (Dual Overhead Camshafts).
      Features on offer
      Speaking of technologies, Sportster S is laced with modern electronic amenities including a 4.0-inch-diameter TFT digital console with smartphone connectivity, a six-axis inertial measurement unit (IMU), cornering ABS, traction control, tyre pressure monitoring system, cruise control and many more. It also offers four riding modes- Road, Sport, Rain and Custom.
      Sportster S has been offered at a starting price of USD 14,999 (approx. INR 11.18 lakh). India launch price is expected to be in the range of Rs 15-20 lakh. More

      TVS Ntorq Vs Suzuki Avenis Vs Yamaha RayZR – Specs, Features Comparo

      by

      New Suzuki AvenisWith its compact profile, sporty design and peppy engine, Suzuki Avenis will primarily target younger audiences
      While Suzuki already has Access and Burgman Street in 125cc segment, recently launched Avenis turns out to be a better match against rivals like TVS Ntorq. In addition to its sporty profile, Avenis also packs in a range of useful features. To understand how it fares against rivals, here’s a quick comparison between Suzuki Avenis vs. TVS Ntorq vs. Yamaha RayZR.
      TVS Ntorq Vs Suzuki Avenis Vs Yamaha RayZR – Design and styling
      All three scooters have a sporty profile with sharp design, unique styling bits and sculpted body panelling. It is tough to say which is the better looking one. But Avenis does have the advantage of offering a fresh design. Coupled with its sporty graphics and striking dual-tone colour options, Avenis could get the customer’s attention. In addition to standard colour options, Avenis is also available in MotoGP inspired Race Edition.
      Suzuki Avenis vs TVS Ntorq vs Yamaha RayZR
      If we consider only the colour options, it’s apparent that Ntorq fares better in this aspect. That’s because it has different variants in varying colour themes. The kind of styling seen with Ntorq Race Edition, Super Squad Edition and Race XP is a lot sportier and exciting. RayZR follows closely with 6 standard colour options and a special MotoGP Edition with Monster Energy branding.
      Features
      In terms of features, there’s not much difference between the three scooters. Key essentials that really matter such as Bluetooth mobile connectivity, app-based connectivity features, charging point, digital instrument console, and LED headlight and DRL are available with all three scooters.
      Suzuki Avenis vs TVS Ntorq vs Yamaha RayZR
      In case of Avenis, its key features include turn-by-tun navigation, motorcycle inspired rear indicators, external fuel filling, front glove box with USB charging socket, side stand engine cut-off, and engine start and kill switch.
      Ntorq has most of these features excluding a few such as side stand engine cut-off. But Ntorq has some additional features such as voice assist commands. RayZR misses out on features such as navigation, engine kill switch, external fuel filler cap and LED tail light.
      TVS Ntorq Vs Suzuki Avenis Vs Yamaha RayZR – Engine and specs
      In terms of power output, Ntorq leads the pack with 10.2 ps of max power at 7,000 rpm. It is India’s first 125cc scooter to have more than 10 hp power. Torque output is also highest at 10.8 Nm at 5,500 rpm. Avenis makes 8.7 ps at 6,750 rpm and 10 Nm at 5,500 rpm. RayZR has least power output at 8.2 ps, but torque is second best at 10.3 Nm. While Avenis and Ntorq have CVT gearbox, RayZR utilizes a V-Belt Automatic unit.
      Suzuki Avenis vs TVS Ntorq vs Yamaha RayZR
      RayZR low power should not be a concern, as it is the lightest of the three at 99kg. Avenis and Ntorq have kerb weight of 106 kg and 116 kg, respectively.All three scooters have telescopic front suspension. At the rear, Avenis has swingarm whereas Ntorq uses coil spring with hydraulic dampers. RayZR has unit swing rear suspension. Braking combo of front disc and rear drum is common for all three scooters.
      TVS Ntorq Vs Suzuki Avenis Vs Yamaha RayZR – Price
      Yamaha RayZR is the most affordable, priced in the range of Rs 75,372 – 85,896. Next is TVS Ntorq available in the range of Rs 78,090 – 87,270. Suzuki Avenis is costliest, priced at Rs 86,700 – 87,000. But this is because the price of standard version has not been announced yet. Avenis standard version is expected to be priced competitively. Suzuki plans to open bookings of Avenis in the first week of Dec 2021. More

      New Royal Enfield Classic 350 Bobber Planned For Launch In 2022

      by

      Image for reference. Credit – Neev MotorcyclesNew 350cc motorcycles are part of the company’s long-term plan to introduce an average of one new/updated product every quarter
      Royal Enfield currently leads in 350cc motorcycle segment with market share of more than 80%. To ensure consumers have more options to choose from, four new 350cc motorcycles will be launched by end of next year. In addition to domestic market, these bikes will also be sold globally. Some of these can actually register higher sales in overseas markets. This trend can already be seen with 650 twins that usually sell more units internationally.
      Royal Enfield new 350cc bikes details
      All four bikes will be using the new 350cc engine and new J platform. These upgrades were first introduced with Meteor 350 last year, followed by recently launched all-new Classic 350. These improvements have resulted in multiple benefits including smooth power delivery, reduced vibrations and better stability and control.
      The new 350cc motor generates 20.2 bhp of max power and 27 Nm of peak torque. It is mated to a 5-speed gearbox. Another key feature introduced with Meteor was Tripper navigation. It remains to be seen which among the four new bikes will be getting this.
      Excluding the 350cc bobber, all other bikes will have telescopic forks at front and twin gas charged rear shock absorbers. Braking system has disc brakes at both ends and dual-channel ABS will be offered as standard.
      Royal Enfield Hunter 350 – Render
      New Bullet 350 and Hunter 350
      Among the new bikes, one is likely to be Bullet 350. Codenamed J1B, it will be replacing existing Bullet 350 and the Bullet 350 ES. Bullet 350 is currently the third bestselling 350cc Royal Enfield bike, trailing behind Classic 350 and Meteor 350.
      Second new 350cc bike could be a Meteor-based roadster. Spied quite frequently in recent months, it is being referred to as Hunter 350. Internally, this bike has been codenamed J1C1. Hunter will have a sibling as well, which is codenamed J1C2. It will be the same as Hunter in terms of core hardware components. However, it will miss out on some of the premium features. The idea is to make the bike the most affordable 350cc motorcycle from Royal Enfield.
      Hunter and its sibling will have retro styling with features such as round headlamp, round rear-view mirrors and spoke-design alloy wheels. Other key features include fork gaiters, upswept exhaust, 17-inch wheels at both ends, split grab rails, short rear section, and round taillight. Test mules have been spotted with an all-black theme. At the time of launch, several more colour options are likely.
      2022 Classic 350 Bobber
      Fourth product will be a bobber-styled motorcycle based on new Classic 350. Although not much details are available right now, it could borrow some styling bits from Concept KX 838 that was showcased in 2019. Internally, the 350cc bobber is codenamed J1H. It could get features such as single seat, wide and tall handlebar, and spoke-styled alloy wheels.
      Royal Enfield is also working to expand its 400cc and 650cc range. Some of the upcoming bikes in these segments include a new cheaper Himalayan variant called Scram 411, a cruiser named Super Meteor 650 and a more powerful 650cc Himalayan.

      The single-piece seat with a raised tail section features lumbar support for the rider for additional comfort during long journeys. The new TMax sits on a lighter aluminium chassis which should feel easier to manoeuver and handle around corners. A sporty riding posture has been attained with a slightly forward-leaning position by adjusting all points of the ‘rider triangle’.
      2022 Yamaha TMax
      Yamaha is offering the Maxi scooter in two derivatives- TMax and TMax Tech Max. The former will be offered with three colour options namely Extreme Yellow, Icon Blue and Sword Grey.

This motor cranks out 47.6 bhp at 7,500rpm and 55.7 Nm of torque at 5,250rpm with power going to the rear wheel via an automatic transmission and belt drive. That said, there are some tweaks made to the scooter’s hardware configurations.
      Suspension setup comprises new 41mm USD forks upfront and a single rear shock which offers a better front-end feel and damping at the rear. Braking duties are handled by dual 262mm front discs and a 282mm rear disc which are complemented by a dual-channel ABS. More

      by

      Bajaj Chetak Electric ScooterWhile Chetak records its highest ever sales this year in October, iQube MoM sales have nearly halved
      Close fight between Bajaj Chetak and TVS iQube continues with the former taking lead in October. However, iQube is still ahead in terms of overall sales during Jan-Oct period. Chetak and iQube sales during this period are 3,832 units and 4,065 units, respectively. While both scooters have positive YoY growth, iQube MoM growth has turned negative in October.
      Chetak Vs. iQube sales October 2021
      Chetak sales in October were at 835 units. YoY growth is 223.64%, as compared to 258 units sold in October last year. Chetak MoM growth is 30.06%, as compared to 642 units sold in September 2021.
      Increase in Chetak sales indicates that the company could be starting to recover from the global shortage of semiconductor chips and other imported components. Chetak sales have consistently improved in recent months, from 364 units in August to 642 in September. Its second best this year was in July when sales were at 730 units.
      iQube YoY growth is 1134%, up from 32 units in October last year to 395 units in October 2021.

      Electric Scooter Sales Oct 2021 – Bajaj Chetak Vs TVS iQube
      Threat from rivals
      Bajaj and TVS were among the first established auto companies to launch their electric scooters. Chetak and iQube are already facing tough competition from the likes of Ola, Ather 450X and Simple One. Newer products to hit the market in recent times appear to be better equipped, as compared to Chetak and iQube. Their popularity is also on the rise, as was evident recently when Ola electric scooter clocked bookings worth Rs 1,100 crore.
      Competition in electric two-wheeler segment is expected to intensify even further when other mainstream auto companies launch their electric scooters / motorcycles. For example, Hero MotoCorp is pretty close to launching it first electric scooter.
      It could be named VIDA, as was recently revealed in registration documents. Later, the company could also launch electric motorcycles. Hero is developing its electric two-wheelers in collaboration with Taiwan-based EV manufacturer Gogoro.
      Electric Scooter Sales Oct 2021 – Bajaj Chetak Vs TVS iQube
      Another entrant will be Suzuki, which is expected to launch its first electric scooter soon. Instead of a new scooter, Suzuki has chosen to use its popular Burgman to build its electric scooter. Burgman electric scooter has been spied on road tests multiple times. It could be launched at a starting price of around Rs 1 lakh.
      Honda is also developing an electric scooter, especially for Indian market. It is expected to be launched sometime during 2022-2023. Although designed for India, Honda will be targeting export markets as well with its new electric scooter.
      Leading tech companies like Realme and OnePlus are also reported to be working on electric two-wheelers. Various other startups will also be entering this space in coming years, possibly with improved products. All of these will be a challenge for Chetak and iQube. More
