      6 Reasons To Wait For Upcoming Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450

      by

      Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 RenderRoyal Enfield Guerrilla 450 is among the most anticipated upcoming motorcycle this year – Launch is expected sometime next monthIndia’s de-facto classic bike manufacturer, Royal Enfield, has stepped into a new era with Sherpa 450 platform. This is the first time Royal Enfield has incorporated fancy hardware and features and the overall platform has massive potential. Himalayan 450 was the first motorcycle to launch with this platform, soon to be followed by Guerrilla 450.Royal Enfield will launch Guerrilla 450 soon and the bike will compete with retro roadster-style motorcycles like Triumph Speed 400, Yezdi Roadster, Honda CB300R, Harley-Davidson X440, Hero Mavrick 440 and the likes. To some extent, it will rival Himalayan 450 as well, considering most riders use their bikes on the road. With Himalayan 450 already on sale and choices to be spoiled, should you still wait for the Guerrilla 450? Well, here are the top 6 reasons why you should wait for the upcoming Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450.Royal Enfield Guerrilla 4501. Design and AestheticsIt is a known aspect of Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 that it will be a stripped-down version of Himalayan 450. However, it is also a better looking version of it as well. ADVs are meant to look functional and get the job done. If we take Himalayan 450, it has a few design elements that don’t classify as pleasing. The large beak, fixed headlight that looks weird in many angles when standing and all the added braces.These won’t be an issue with Guerrilla 450 as it ditches all of these. It looks more conventional and a lot more soulful. Headlight turns with handlebar, the unappealing clamp holding the Tripper Dash is gone, symmetrical 17-inch alloy wheels, fork gaiters and the new fuel tank design look a lot more appealing.2024 Royal Enfield Guerrilla 4502. Lightness and Performance GainsAt 196kg, Himalayan 450 is quite cumbersome to ride in the city and to tackle tricky and technical terrains on off-road sections. Owing to its roadster style, Guerrilla 450 will omit all the touring add-ons Himalayan 450 gets as standard. We’re talking about tank braces, side body braces, and a luggage rack.Smaller fuel tank, lighter RSU telescopic forks and other attributes will contribute to lower weight figures. Think around 10kg to 15kg weight reduction which will positively impact performance. City rides and off-road escapades will be more manageable. Fuel efficiency might be better with Guerrilla too.2024 Royal Enfield Guerrilla 4503. Affordable Price TagADVs command a premium price tag. Like ‘SUVs’ over their hatchback counterparts. A lifestyle-oriented product usually comes with a hefty price. Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 can cost close to Rs 4 lakh (OTR, Karnataka). Because Guerrilla 450 misses out on a few premium bits that Himalayan 450 gets, it should cost less too. For example, it misses out on USD telescopic front forks, large wheels with specially designed tyres and all the off-road and touring add-ons.2024 Royal Enfield Guerrilla 4504. Ironed-out NigglesThis is the major reason why we’re eager for Guerrilla 450 launch. As good as it is, new Royal Enfield 450 platform we experienced on New Himalayan, had a lot of niggles and bugs. As it was a first-generation product of a new platform, it was understandable and given Royal Enfield’s history, they are highly likely to fix these niggles and bugs with Guerrilla 450.Royal Enfield’s Tripper Dash might get a more stable software version to offer a seamless experience with functions and operations. Even the engine vibrations between 90 km/h and 120 km/h are likely to be fixed.RE Guerrilla 450 Accessories5. Customisability FactorModification and Royal Enfield usually go hand in hand. The company is very popular among the modding culture. Owing to its Roadster design, customisability factor with Guerrilla 450 is a lot more when compared to Himalayan 450. Want a Scrambler-style Royal Enfield based on the new Sherpa 450 platform? Or a custom Cafe Racer? A semi-fired or fully-faired custom bike? Guerrilla 450 is a far better bet.6. A Well-Rounded PackageAmong the rivals, Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 could emerge as one of the most well-rounded packages. It has the performance (40 bhp and 40 Nm), it has the technology (ride-by-wire, DOHC 4V head, liquid-cooling, 6-speed gearbox) and best-in-class connectivity in the form of Tripper Dash. Adding to it, the Royal Enfield ecosystem, dealer network and brand loyalty are likely to play their roles here. If priced right, of course. More

      by

      New Kawasaki W230New Kawasaki W230 shares most of the components with the Meguro S1, although both bikes get unique colour options and decalsFor the Japanese market, Kawasaki has introduced the new W230 classic roadster bike. It is the successor to the W Series, with the Estrella (W250) discontinued in Japan in 2017. Kawasaki W230 will go on sale in Japan later this year during the fall season (September to November).Kawasaki W230 – Key featuresBoth Kawasaki W230 and Meguro S1 were unveiled at the 2023 Japan Mobility Show. A quick glance reveals that both bikes are largely identical. However, there is a difference in the badging elements, use of chrome, stickering, decals and colour options.New Kawasaki W230Some of the key highlights include a circular headlamp, circular rear-view mirrors, fork gaiters and classic tear-drop shaped fuel tank. The LED headlight comes with a chrome ring and position lamps, which is similar to that of Z650RS. This LED headlight is exactly the same as the Meguro S1.W230 has a horizontally positioned exhaust pipe in heavy chrome finish and broad rear fender. The bike has a dual-tone white and black seat in quilted format. It helps enhance the bike’s classic design aesthetics. At the rear, the bike has square tail lights and round turn signals. These are halogen units and are in line with the bike’s retro design language.New Kawasaki W230With its slim and compact profile, Kawasaki W230 will be easy to manoeuvre across a wide variety of environments. Seat height is expected to be less than 800 mm. It will ensure that even shorter riders can gain optimal control. Riding ergonomics are quite comfortable with a wide handlebar and centrally positioned footpegs. The bike will be fun to ride across both busy city streets as well as highways.New Kawasaki W230Kawasaki W230’s retro appeal is enhanced with the dual analogue dials. The speedometer dial has a small rectangular digital display as well. The tachometer dial on the right displays various other information at the bottom. The “W” badge on the fuel tank emphasizes Kawasaki’s renowned W series. This elegantly designed emblem complements the classic roadster model perfectly.Kawasaki W230 – Specs, performanceUpcoming Kawasaki W230 has 18-inch front and 17-inch rear wheels. These are shod with standard tyres for city streets. Suspension setup comprises conventional telescopic forks at front and dual rear shock absorbers. Both ends have disc brakes with dual-channel ABS as standard.New Kawasaki W230Powering Kawasaki W230 will be a new single cylinder SOHC air-cooled engine from the KLX230 series. It will be remodelled and re-introduced in Japan for the 2024 model year. The 233-cc engine will be compliant with Euro 5 emission standards. The Meguro S1 will be sharing the same engine. However, output characteristics could be slightly different for both bikes. The aural experience is expected to be crisp, a signature feature of single cylinder engines. More

      by

      BMW CE 04 Electric ScooterBMW CE04 is not for everyone but is perfect for individuals who want a unique vehicle to stand outAfter the launch of its R 1300 GS, BMW Motorrad India seems to have shifted its gaze towards bringing electric 2W to Indian market. The German brand aims to offer most of its motorcycle portfolio in India and in that regard, BMW has done a good job. Now we will witness the launch of BMW CE 04 on 24th July.BMW CE 04 Electric ScooterConsidering the C 400 GT costs Rs 11.25 lakh (Ex-sh), we can expect CE 04 to cost more than that, of course. At that price, it has no logical competition and has carved a niche for itself. With a futuristic design language, BMW CE04 shines as a stylish product. A statement, if we may. It has a lot of cuts, creases, and crevices that make it look like something that came right out of a CyberPunk world that happened 1,000 years into the future.BMW Electric Scooter CE 04This is not the first maxi scooter from BMW Motorrad in India. We have BMW C 400 GT maxi scooter. Despite being priced at Rs. 11.25 lakh (Ex-sh), this scooter has found a home with a lot of automotive enthusiasts. This might be what inspired BMW to bring CE 04 electric scooter as well. Currently, it is sold in global markets like North America and Europe.BMW CE 04 Electric ScooterBMW has cleverly pooled various parts from other vehicles. Not necessarily motorcycles or scooters. For example, the 8.9 kWh battery pack on CE04 is essentially one of 11 battery modules in a BMW iX. The motor on CE04 electric maxi scooter, which makes 42 bhp of power and 62 Nm of torque, is essentially 1/3rd section of the same motor found in X1 PHEV SUV by BMW.BMW CE 04 Electric ScooterIt is not just powertrains. BMW CE04 electric maxi scooter has a 10.25” horizontal screen as its instrument cluster. It is similar to the screen that is found on older 3 Series sedan. This electric scooter from BMW is unlike anything we have ever seen in India, in a good way. It is radical in its design and sensational when it comes to street presence.Specs & FeaturesIt has a long wheelbase and a wide profile which lends it a muscular stance. Due to the batteries stashed in its central tunnel, this is not a step-through scooter. Storage has been moved to the side and to gain access to it, one has to open side body panels which drop down like a tailgate on a pickup truck.BMW CE 04 Electric ScooterBMW CE04 comes jam-packed with technology. LED headlights, keyless access, BMW Motorrad connected tech, three ride modes, ASC, dual channel ABS, and more. As it is an electric vehicle, it gets reverse functionality too. With a quick charger, 0-80% comes up in just 65 minutes.Hardware componentry include 35mm front telescopic forks, rear mono-shock, belt-drive, dual disc setup at front and single disc at the rear, single-sided swingarm, and more. Due to its hefty 231 kg weight, BMW CE04 electric maxi scooter promises a range of only 130 km and a top speed of 120 km/h.BMW CE 04 Electric Scooter More

      Bajaj CNG Motorcycle Detailed In New Spy Shots – No 1 Mileage Bike?

      by

      New Bajaj CNG Motorcycle SpiedKey USPs for Bajaj upcoming CNG bike include its robust performance, reduced running costs and off-road capabilitiesOver the years, Bajaj has achieved several milestones. It includes launching India’s first green CNG three-wheeler and the performance-oriented Pulsar bikes. Bajaj is set to make history once again, as it prepares to launch the world’s first CNG motorcycle.Bajaj CNG bike launch on 5th July – What to expect?To ensure it can serve the needs of a wide segment of users, Bajaj CNG bike will focus on both performance and fuel cost savings. CNG is cheaper than petrol, something that will reduce running costs of the bike. To ensure optimal performance, Bajaj is expected to use a 125cc engine for its CNG bike. It is to note that Bajaj has plans to launch multiple CNG bikes by 2025. The first of these could be the 125cc model.New Bajaj CNG Motorcycle SpiedTest mules spotted earlier had revealed that at least two models are close to production stage. One of these appears to be a regular commuter bike, whereas the other was seen with off-road equipment such as knuckle guards and fork gaiters. It is possible that two or more variants could be introduced on the launch day. The variants could also be designed based on the target audience such as urban and rural demographics.CNG + Petrol to add convenienceIn view of the size and safety aspects, only a small CNG tank would be suitable for a motorcycle. Bajaj CNG bike blueprints have revealed that the CNG tank is safely enclosed within the structure of the bike. Due to this, the CNG fuel tank will have limited fuel carrying capacity.New Bajaj CNG Motorcycle SpiedAs a regular petrol tank will also be available, users won’t have to face the prospect of running out of fuel. CNG + Petrol is also relevant in the current setup where the number of CNG fuel stations are relatively fewer in comparison to the regular petrol/diesel fuel pumps. Mileage of Bajaj CNG Motorcycle is likely to be very high, possibly making it the No 1 mileage bike of India.New Bajaj CNG Motorcycle SpiedBajaj CNG bike priceIt is apparent that significant efforts and resources have gone into the design and development of Bajaj CNG bike. However, one can still expect a competitive pricing policy. As it will be an entirely unique and new offering, some sections of consumers may have hesitations. Launching the CNG bike at a premium can prompt many consumers to stick with the regular petrol-only bikes. It is likely that an attractive, limited period initial offer price will be announced for Bajaj CNG bike.New Bajaj CNG Motorcycle SpiedTo make it stand out and position it as a VFM product, Bajaj can also introduce some best-in-class or segment-first features with its CNG bike. Being the world’s first dual-fuel two-wheeler, Bajaj CNG bike deserves some special attention. For complete peace of mind of customers, Bajaj may also offer a longer warranty package. There can be various other surprises that will be revealed only on 5th July. More

      TVS Apache RTE Racing (Electric Motorcycle) – Can Hit 200 Km/h Top Speed

      by

      When compared to the most powerful road-going TVS bikes, Apache RTE race-spec machines offer next-level performance and agile handlingWith around four decades of racing lineage to back on, TVS Motor is charging ahead with electric 2W motorsport. We’re talking about the recently unveiled TVS Racing E-OMC (Electric One-Make Championship). Company had taken the wraps off TVS Apache RTE motorcycles specifically built for this championship some time ago. But now, we can see them in action as well.TVS Apache RTE – Electrifying!2024 TVS Racing e-OMC has commenced, featuring race-spec Apache RTE motorcycles. This further cements TVS’ association with motorsports and further incorporates company’s ethos of pioneering electric mobility solutions. TVS e-OMC features an exclusive format of racing on race-bred Apache RTE motorcycles. TVS is India’s first OEM to foray into EV racing.Combining electric mobility and racing, we get the new Apache RTE bikes. These are fully-faired track machines that boast best-in-class power-to-weight ratio. TVS has developed Apache RTE motorcycles in collaboration with a few partners. Sharp styling and TVS Racing Factory livery are notable attributes.This motorcycle is based on a custom carbon fibre chassis that also acts as the bike’s battery case. Rear subframe which houses a racing seat, is made of carbon fibre too and so are the wheels. Thus reducing bike’s overall weight and increasing chassis stiffness and rigidity, should allow for better handling on the track.Fairing is beautifully crafted and is touted to have best-in-class aerodynamic efficiency. Apart from that, TVS Apache RTE packs top-notch components like Brembo brake callipers, Ohlins suspension setups and Pirelli Super Corsa tyres.Track performanceSpeaking about the capabilities of this motorcycle, TVS Apache RTE can hit 200 km/h top speed owing to its aerodynamic fairing with lowest-in-class air drag coefficient. The battery is a race-spec high-power cell unit and is mated to a liquid-cooled motor and a potent motor controller.TVS has developed an advanced BMS (Battery Management System) for this application. Because it has race-spec batteries, the motorcycle is likely to have just enough range for track work and is not aimed at ekeing out leading range figures.TVS MD Sudarshan Venu With Apache RTE Race MachineAt Round 1 of INMRC 2024 event, as many as eight riders competed in an action-packed four-lap race. At the inaugural round, Chirant V and Alwin Sundar climbed the podium, while Sarthak Chavan bagged the win. Impressively, TVS Apache RTE clocked a fastest lap time of 1 minute and 48.777 seconds.Statement from TVS MotorVimal Sumbly, Head Business – Premium, TVS Motor Company said, “TVS Racing has been at the forefront of making motorsports both inspiring and within reach for enthusiasts nationwide. As we shift gears into this new era, we are not just redefining the way we ride; we are rewriting the racing ecosystem by establishing new benchmarks through sustainable mobility. With the TVS Racing e-OMC, we have taken a monumental step towards the future of racing.TVS Apache RTE Race MachineThis championship will demonstrate the potential of electric vehicles in delivering high-octane and thrilling racing experiences for the world to witness, and we are excited to witness history in the making. The company’s commitment to a greener future goes beyond the racetrack, and with this industry first move, we are bolstering our vision towards sustainable mobility solutions and strengthening the future of motorsports.” More
