Honda registered total sales of 58.31 lakh units, falling short by just 68,083 units when compared to Hero MotoCorp’s 58.99 lakh units.

      New Benelli Leoncino 250 Spied Testing In India – Launch Soon?

      by

      New Benelli Leoncino 250 SpiedBenelli seems to be eying at the premium single-cylinder motorcycle segment as the company is testing what looks like a Leoncino 250. This test mule did not have any testing equipment on board and most of the components look production ready. A launch might happen in the coming months positioning Leoncino 250 as the company’s most affordable motorcycle.
      New Benelli Leoncino 250 Spied
      Not a long time ago, Benelli India used to offer smaller capacity twin cylinder motorcycles as well as single-cylinder offerings. Fast forwarding to April 2025, Benelli India’s most affordable model is Leoncino 500, priced around Rs 5 lakh (Ex-sh). The single cylinder offerings like Imperiale 400, TRK 251 and Leoncino 250 were discontinued.
      Benelli seems to be keen on re-launching Leoncino 250 in the Indian market, as suggested by the recent spy shots. This will open Benelli’s portfolio to a much wider audience if the new Benelli Leoncino 250 was launched around the Rs 2.5 lakh mark (Ex-sh). At that price point, it will take on other neo retro bikes like Honda CB300R.
      Leoncino 250 can also be a great candidate to rival Royal Enfield Classic 350 to some extent, considering Benelli is a stalwart legacy motorcycle manufacturer with a rich heritage and legacy as well. Leoncino 250 will pack a significantly modern engine with liquid-cooling and will weigh a lot less.
      New Benelli Leoncino 250 Spied
      What to expect?
      When compared to the Benelli Leoncino 250 sold till 2020 in India, we don’t see a lot of differences with this new model. It is still a classic neo retro motorcycle with Roadster like silhouette. It looks cool and distinct, which will be its trump card. The main changes can be seen in the exhaust shape and this new Leoncino 250 seems to have tank shrouds.
      Other than that, it still gets a tail tidy with a tyre hugger mounted LED number plates. While this test mule didn’t have rear turn indicators, the production version will. There is a single-piece seat and street-style handlebar allowing the rider to sit upright. Rider footpegs are slightly rear-seat for sporty aggression.
      ORVMs are not round anymore, while LED headlights seem to be. We wish Benelli offers a TFT cluster in place of the LCD unit seen on the discontinued model. It still gets USD telescopic front forks, rear mono-shock, front and rear disc brakes with dual-channel ABS along with 17-inch alloy wheels wrapped with 110-section front and 150-section rear tyres.
      New Benelli Leoncino 250 Spied
      Powering this vehicle is likely to be the same 249cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine with around 25 bhp and 21 Nm, mated to a 6-speed gearbox. However, it will be BS6 OBD2B emission standard compliant, this time around. Launch is likely to happen in the coming months.

      Honda E-VO Electric Motorcycle Type-Approved (WH8000D) – Launch Soon?

      by

      Honda E-VO Electric BikeIt is expected that Honda E-VO will be using the Mobile Power Pack e:, the brand’s swappable battery system
      Honda is working on multiple new electric two-wheelers, one of which is the WH8000D electric motorcycle. As type-approval has been received, launch is expected soon. In the past, there have been many concepts from legacy bike makers, but only few have seen the light of day. Let’s take a look at some of the key details of Honda WH8000D electric motorcycle, which looks rather promising.
      Honda WH8000D / E-VO – What to expect?
      Upcoming Honda E-VO utilizes a neo-retro cafe racer design in a futuristic format. Some of the key highlights include a round headlamp, old-school headlamp cowl, circular bar-end mirrors, pulled-back handlebar and a single-piece tan seat. The bike has sleek and aerodynamic side panels that ensure a futuristic look and feel. The panels create a sizable enclosure that houses the battery pack and the electric drivetrain.
      Graphics are almost non-existent, ensuring a minimalistic profile for the electric motorcycle. Visually, there is only a dual-tone colour theme with a few yellow stripes. The badging elements include ‘E-VO’ and ‘Honda’. However, the tasteful blend of retro and futuristic design elements has ensured a distinctive profile for Honda E-VO. When launched, the bike is expected to offer more striking colour options.
      Honda E-VO – Performance, specs
      Equipped with an 8 kW (11 HP) electric motor, the Honda E-VO is positioned as a fun city commuter motorcycle. The 8 kW is the continuous power, which means the peak power will be higher. In terms of performance, the Honda E-VO will be comparable to a 150cc petrol powered motorcycle. Combined with its sleek, aerodynamic profile, Honda E-VO can effortlessly zip through city streets. It can also be fun to ride across highways.
      Honda E-VO Electric Bike
      Dimensions appear compact and could be similar to the size of a Grom or CFMoto Papio. This could make the bike a popular choice among commuters and casual riders. Honda E-VO will be available in two variants. The base variant will weigh 143 kg and have a top speed of 110 km/h. The top variant weighs 157 kg and has a top speed of 120 km/h.
      Swappable batteries
      While battery details have not been revealed, it is likely that Honda E-VO will be using Honda’s swappable Mobile Power Pack e:. Honda has been developing its battery swapping infrastructure in multiple markets including India, Japan, Thailand and Indonesia. From a business perspective and to ensure a hassle-free experience for consumers, it is likely that E-VO will be using the same battery swapping infrastructure.
      It remains to be seen when Honda launches the E-VO electric motorcycle. The distinctive full-faired cafe racer design can appeal to folks who are looking for something truly unique. With competitive pricing and backed by the convenience of battery swapping tech, Honda E-VO has potential to emerge a bestseller.
      Honda E-VO Electric Bike
      As of now, Honda continues to derive much of its revenue from petrol-powered two-wheelers. However, the company is gradually increasing its focus on the EV segment. Some EV products are already on sale across global markets such as Honda EM1 e, CUV e and ICON e. In India, Honda has launched the Activa e: and Honda QC1. More
