      by

      Triumph 400 New Custom Colour. Image – Ramaswami120Along with the new custom paint jobs, users can also choose from two distinct set of graphics for the fuel tankTriumph’s lowest priced bikes, Speed 400 and Scrambler 400X, have emerged as popular options in the sub-middleweight motorcycle segment. While no one’s questioning the attractive design and powerful performance of these bikes, only three colour options are available for each bike.Four new custom shades for Speed 400, Scrambler 400XApparently, consumer tastes and preferences are a lot more diverse when it comes to their favourite colour. As a fix, a Triumph dealership in Pune is offering custom colour options for Speed 400 and Scrambler 400X.Triumph 400 Custom ColoursWhile factory shades for Speed 400, Scrambler 400X are pretty good, the timeless design of these bikes can surely accommodate a lot more experimentations with the colour palette. Addition of new colours will help target a larger segment of users. Royal Enfield understands this aspect and has been offering a comprehensive range of colour options for its bikes. Something similar is now being done by the Pune-based BU Bhandari Triumph dealership.One of the custom colours that stands out is a radiant Yellow shade. It presents a pretty picture in combination with the golden coloured USD forks. The Yellow shade is probably the most attractive among the custom colours being offered for Speed 400 and Scrambler 400X. Other colour options on offer include a white, silver and a black & red dual-tone colour scheme.Triumph 400 Custom ColoursThe application of the custom shades is limited to the fuel tank. This is probably due to technical and equipment limitations at the dealer level. In a factory setting, colour application can extend to various other parts such as the exposed frame sections, wheels, etc. Notwithstanding the limited applicability, the custom colour shades still come across as a refreshing change. It will appeal even more to users who are especially interested in a particular colour shade.Triumph 400 Custom ColoursNew custom graphics for Speed 400, Scrambler 400XAlong with the new colour shades, users can also choose from two distinct graphics options. One set of graphics primarily has the Triumph logo, whereas the other graphics kit has a combo of Triumph logo and twin contrasting strips.With four new colours, users now have a better chance of finding the best option that suits their individual tastes and preferences. If this new strategy works, it is possible that other Triumph dealers may also launch similar schemes for their customers.Triumph 400 Custom ColoursTriumph Speed 400, Scrambler 400X custom colour pricingEnthusiasts who choose any of the custom colour schemes for Speed 400, Scrambler 400X will be charged Rs 15,000 additional. The bike will be first registered at the RTO in the stock colour option, as received from the factory. Take a detailed look at the walkaround shared by Ramaswami120.[embedded content]After the buyer selects the custom colour, it will be applied at the dealer level. The dealer will then help the buyer in the documentation process for changing the bike’s colour. RTO costs related to the new colour scheme will have to be borne by the customer.

      Kawasaki Patents Ninja 7 Hybrid And Z E-1 In India – Green Mile!

      by

      Kawasaki Ninja ZE1 patented in India – Hybrid motorcycleIf launched via CBU route, both Kawasaki Ninja 7 Hybrid and Z E-1 will cater to a niche eco-conscious audience not afraid to shell big bucksTeam Green intends to navigate Indian market with an extended portfolio by spoiling customers with choices. In that regard, we witnessed the recent launches of Ninja 500 and its cruiser sibling, Eliminator (Kawasaki India doesn’t use 400 or 500 suffix with Eliminator). Based on the same platform, Kawasaki could launch Ninja 7 Hybrid along with its BEV, Z E-1.Kawasaki Patents Ninja 7 Hybrid And Z E-1 In IndiaIconic motorcycle manufacturer, Kawasaki, has patented two of its new and cutting-edge motorcycles in India. These motorcycles are Kawasaki’s new Ninja 7 Hybrid and company’s first all-electric production bike Z E-1.Kawasaki Z E-1 Electric PowertrainIf Honda had patented some of its newest motorcycles in India, we would have thought it was just a standard patenting exercise. However, Kawasaki’s design patents look promising and there is a possibility of Team Green launching at least one of them in India. Most likely, we will get to see Ninja 7 Hybrid than Z E-1.For starters, Kawasaki Ninja 7 Hybrid shares the same 451cc platform that Ninja 500 and Eliminator also use. This is a parallel twin cylinder DOHC 4V liquid-cooled engine that is capable of kicking out 44.7 bhp of peak power and 42.6 Nm of peak torque on its own. However, Ninja 7 Hybrid packs an additional electric motor.Kawasaki Ninja 7 HybridAdded electric assistance results in a combined peak power of around 60 bhp with Kawasaki Ninja 7 Hybrid. Unlike Ninja 500 and Eliminator with a traditional 6-speed manual sequential gear selector, Ninja 7 Hybrid gets more sophisticated shift paddles in left side switchgear.Kawasaki Z E-1Will Z E-1 launch in India?Where Ninja 500 and Eliminator weighed rather modest 171 kg and 176 kg respectively, Ninja 7 Hybrid weighs in at 227 kg. The added electrical powertrain components prove to be heavier than ICE versions. Kawasaki is currently selling Ninja 500 and Eliminator via CBU route and they’re priced at Rs. 5.25 lakh (ex-sh) and Rs. 5.62 lakh (ex-sh) respectively.Globally, Kawasaki Ninja 7 Hybrid is priced higher than ZX-6R and if launched in India, we can expect a price close to Rs. 10 lakh mark. The other motorcycle Kawasaki has patented in India is Z E-1. This is a fully electric motorcycle with two removable 1.5 kWh batteries with a total capacity of 3 kWh.Kawasaki Ninja 7 HybridPeak power is 9 kW, which is less than Ola S1 Pro’s 11 kW. Range is limited on Z E-1 too, at just 72 km and top speed is around 80 km/h. Considering India is a price-sensitive market, Kawasaki is less likely to launch Z E-1 in India as global pricing positions it above Ninja 650. Launch could happen by the end of this year. More

      TVS XL EV And E-XL Names Registered – Upcoming Electric XL

      by

      Image for reference onlyAs of now, ICE XL 100 price starts from Rs. 46K and upcoming TVS XL EV or TVS E-XL might cost around Rs. 20K more (ex-sh)Leading 2W and 3W manufacturer of the world, TVS Motor, is set to expand its electric vehicle portfolio. The company intends to amplify its electric mobility solutions with an electrified version of XL. There are two new names that TVS has registered. One of these names could end up on electric XL when it launches.TVS XL EV And E-XL Names RegisteredXL is India’s only ICE powered moped on sale. It is prevalent among rural audiences and has also been a staple for intra-city last-mile delivery operations. TVS sold 41,635 units of XL 100 and its diverse variants in the month of February 2024. An electrified version of XL might prove beneficial for the brand.Not only in India, TVS XL has export potential too for many developing nations. For all these applications, an electrified version of XL could prove just as popular as its ICE counterpart already on sale. Now, there are two new names that might go on this upcoming vehicle.Earlier this year, TVS Holdings Ltd trademarked two new names – TVS E-XL and TVS XL EV. Both these trademarks have been accepted and advertised as per the trademark information revealed by the portal. One of these is very highly likely to be used on upcoming TVS electric XL.TVS XL EV Name TrademarkedPatent design reveals key infoLast year, the patent design for an electric version of XL 100 was leaked and surfaced on the internet. The workhorse XL was getting the electric treatment and there were not many changes other than powertrain. As revealed in the patent images, TVS is mounting electric batteries directly below the main frame.This is the area where ICE TVS XL 100 had its engine. Interestingly, TVS is not going the hub motor route. Instead, leaked patent images show a mid-mounted motor along with a chain drive to the rear sprocket driving rear wheel. Other than that, it is pretty much the same XL that we have seen before.There will be a different instrument cluster on TVS XL EV, showing various parameters regarding its electric powertrain. Componentry remain more or less identical to ICE XL 100. RSU telescopic front forks, twin shock absorbers at the rear, wire-spoke wheels with tube type tyres (16-inch wheels likely).TVS E-XL Name TrademarkedThe battery could be around 2 kWh in capacity with a total of 100 km claimed range on a full charge. Apples to Apples, TVS XL EV will lock its horns with recently launched Kinetic E-Luna. Speaking of, E-Luna costs Rs. 70K (ex-sh) and we can expect a lower price for TVS XL EV or TVS E-XL. ICE version, XL 100, starts from a base price of Rs. 46K. More

      Bajaj CNG Motorcycle Spotted With Platina – Highest Mileage In India?

      by

      Bajaj CNG Motorcycle Spotted TestingConsidering Platina 100’s ARAI fuel efficiency number is 70 km/l, upcoming Bajaj CNG motorcycle can claim a figure of 80 km/kgIn the global scheme of things, OEMs are flocking towards alternative fuels to lower dependency on petrol and diesel. While a few OEMs are taking the electric route, Bajaj is exploring both electric and CNG route. The company’s upcoming CNG motorcycle has been spotted testing in India.Bajaj CNG Motorcycle SpottedDespite exploring EV realm with Chetak scooters, Bajaj is also investing into CNG motorcycles. This is because Bajaj is a global brand with a presence in over 70+ countries. Customers in many of these countries could benefit more from a CNG motorcycle than an EV with high up-front costs.The same can be said about India too, which is a price-sensitive market. Recently, Bajaj Auto CEO, Rajiv Bajaj, hinted about a possible CNG motorcycle for both Indian market and international business. Bajaj CNG motorcycle spotted in India looks like it is being benchmarked against a Platina.For starters, the whole motorcycle was camouflaged to the gills. But the main takeaway from this test mule is that it will be a commuter motorcycle. There doesn’t seem to be any other motorcycle like this in Bajaj’s global portfolio. So, this is the first time a motorcycle of this design is being developed.New Bajaj commuter motorcycle spiedWe can see a small fuel tank, which might just be for aesthetics and stick to conventional motorcycle design. There is a long seat that extends almost till the bike’s rear end. This is where Bajaj has given a standard grab rail that is nothing fancy. Speaking of fancy, we can see large knuckle guards on the handlebar.When will it launch?Other componentry include RSU telescopic front forks, rear mono-shock setup, drum brakes on the front and rear, alloy wheels with tubeless tyres, some sort of a rear tyre hugger, halogen turn indicators and others. We can expect halogen headlights and tail lights, analog-digital combo instrument clusters and other no-frills features.Where powertrains are concerned, upcoming Bajaj CNG motorcycle could share its engine with any of the already existing commuters. It will bear all the modifications to run on CNG, though. We’re yet to see if Bajaj is implementing a bi-fuel setup (CNG+Petrol) or a standalone CNG offering.CNG tank may be positioned below its long seat, directly mounted on the bike’s frame. Tank capacity might go till 5 kg CNG capacity. If Bajaj claims a fuel efficiency figure of around 80 km/kg, we should expect a tank range of around 400 km. Bajaj is likely to debut this CNG motorcycle around mid-2024. We can speculate a time frame of around July 2024 and a launch on a later date.Source More

      Royal Enfield Classic 650 Thump Sound Detailed In New Spy Video

      by

      Royal Enfield Classic 650Expected to be positioned as an affordable option in 650cc range, Classic 650 will borrow styling bits from the smaller capacity Classic 350Royal Enfield’s strategy to introduce new products at regular intervals has allowed the company to dominate the 350cc and 650cc motorcycle segments. In 2024, Royal Enfield started its innings with the Shotgun 650 in January. More new launches are expected this year, one of which will be Classic 650.Royal Enfield Classic 650 Thump SoundAs the top selling Classic 350 is preferred for its timeless design, it is likely that a similar set of features will be seen with the upcoming Classic 650. Some of the key highlights include circular headlamp, wide handlebar, curvy fuel tank, retro front and rear fenders and circular tail lamp. Both wire spoke and alloy wheel options are expected to be available.Royal Enfield Classic 650A circular instrument dial is likely, as seen with other new Royal Enfield bikes such as Himalayan 450 and Shotgun 650. The upcoming Classic 650 will be available with some exciting colour choices. Thanks to automotive enthusiast Revanth, we now have an idea how the thump of the upcoming Classic 650 sounds.With RE’s new tubular steel frame, users can expect Classic 650 to deliver comfortable rides. The chassis has a low centre of gravity built in, which ensures optimal stability across various riding environments. Seat height is expected to be around 800 mm, ensuring adequate control and handling.[embedded content]The standard forks at front will be paired with preload adjustable twin shocks at rear. Braking setup is likely to have 320 mm and 300 mm discs at front and rear, respectively. Dual-channel ABS will be offered as standard.Royal Enfield Classic 650Powering the bike will be the 648 cc, parallel twin, SOHC, air-oil cooled engine that churns out 47 PS of max power and 52.3 Nm of peak torque. It is mated to a constant mesh 6-speed gearbox. The engine is known for its effortless throttle response, seamless gear shifts and powerful low-end acceleration. It is possible that the engine performance could be tweaked slightly in line with Classic 650’s cruiser profile.Royal Enfield Classic 650 PricingRoyal Enfield could be offered at a starting price of around Rs 3 lakh to Rs 3.20 lakh. At the time of launch, it won’t have any direct rivals in the price range. As Classic 650 will be positioned as an affordable option in the 650cc segment, it may not get premium features.Royal Enfield Classic 650For example, it will miss out on features such as USD forks and RE’s new Tripper dash. Or, these features could be offered as optional via Royal Enfield’s Make It Yours (MIY) customization platform. Features to be offered as standard with Classic 650 could include the engine bay in silver finish and conventional telescopic forks at front.Royal Enfield Classic 650Premium features such as Wingman could also be optional with Classic 650. A connectivity suite, the Royal Enfield Wingman is offered with select bikes such as Super Meteor 650. It can be used with the Royal Enfield App. Some of the key features include grid support, trip summary, vehicle alert, live tracking and last parked location. More

      Bajaj Newest Trademarks Could Hold Name To Upcoming CNG Bike

      by

      Bajaj Triumph 250cc Motorcycle – RenderAs opposed to the previous names trademarked, Bajaj newest trademarks could potentially be employed on an upcoming motorcycleOne of India’s leading 2W and 3W manufacturer, Bajaj Auto, currently holds 4th position in Indian 2W market, where volume is concerned. Bajaj is primarily known for its Pulsar line of sporty commuters and more offerings are expected to stack up. But what names do their upcoming bikes take?Bajaj Newest TrademarksWe all know Bajaj’s love affair with name trademarks. If there were a competition among all the 2W manufacturers operating in India comparing which OEM holds the highest number of trademarks, Bajaj would win that competition, hands down. Among the vast repository of Bajaj’s name trademarks, the company has added four new names.Bajaj Trekker Name TrademarkedBefore laying down the newest trademarks, let’s take a look at what Bajaj already has in its name trademark vault. We have Racer, Hammer, Swing, Genie, Freerider, Caliber, Twinner, Neuron, Eleganz, Vincent, Darkstar, Pulsar Elan, Pulsar Eleganz, Blade, Technik, Tecnica, Fluir, Fluor.Late last year, Bajaj added Zinger, Bomber, Elixir and Aura names to its already vast repository. I’m sure Bajaj holds many more name trademarks other than what we mentioned above. Surfaced in 2024, the most recent names that Bajaj has trademarked are Freedom, Trekker, Glider and Marathon.Bajaj Freedom Name TrademarkedIs Marathon or Freedom the name for upcoming CNG bike?Given that Bajaj is a massive brand, these names could have multiple uses on both 2W and 3W applications sold and marketed in India. The company is keen on launching its first CNG powered motorcycle. The recently trademarked names could end up on this motorcycle, or any other past names trademarked, for that matter.Bajaj Glider Name TrademarkedWe think Freedom or Marathon would be fitting names for Bajaj’s upcoming CNG motorcycle. Freedom name may stand for freedom from petrol fuel or Marathon could indicate the high efficiency of this CNG motorcycle. However, it can get any name that Bajaj chooses worthy. The company recently updated two of its Puslar lines with modern features, in-demand and trending features.In that regard, we saw Pulsar N160 and Pulsar N150 get a fully digital instrument cluster. The same was also offered with Pulsar NS160 and Pulsar NS200, with added features like turn-by-turn navigation and the likes. There are spy shots showing an updated Pulsar N250 with a fully digital instrument screen and USD front forks.Bajaj Marathon Name TrademarkedThe same update on N250 could make it to Pulsar F250 as well. Other than that, Bajaj Auto CEO, Rajiv Bajaj, has hinted at the launch of “biggest ever Pulsar” by the end of FY 2023-2024, which is by the end of this month. Probability of Bajaj launching Dominar 400 as Pulsar 400 is pretty high, considering there are no spy shots of the upcoming motorcycle, while launch is nearing. More
