      Bajaj Triumph Motorcycles To Rival Royal Enfield
      Test mules of Bajaj-Triumph bikes have been spotted globally and even in India. A lot of design elements found on recently spotted Indian test mules match that of global ones. We’re talking about a neo-retro design language that is lifted straight from Triumph’s Street lineup. A simplistic design with funky elements gave them an old-world charm.
      For starters, there are two models being introduced, one is a neo-retro street bike and the other is a scrambler. Both models are likely to be offered with two engine options as well. One a 250cc and the other, a 400cc. Elements like USD front forks, rear mono-shock, alloy wheels, single-disc setup at both ends, round headlights and turn indicators and bar-end mirror up the retro appeal.
      Pricing & Rivals
      There are speculations in place suggesting that Bajaj-Triumph will only launch the smaller 250cc offerings in India, while 400cc offerings (or 350cc) might only be limited to global markets. Specs of these engines are not yet out, but the smaller 250cc mill should make around 30 bhp, while the larger motor might develop around 40 bhp. Pricing for the smaller 250cc model might start from Rs. 2.5 lakh (ex-sh). India launch has been confirmed for July – Sep 2023 period. More

      2023 Hero Passion Plus 100cc Launch Soon – Arrives At Dealer

      by

      The Hero Passion Plus will re-launch in India with the same 100cc engine developing 7.91 bhp and 8.05 Nm, mated to a 4-speed gearbox2023 Hero Passion Plus 100cc. Image – Automobile Tamilan
      India is one of the largest two wheeler market in the world. Hero MotoCorp continues to dominate this market. They offer a slew of budget commuter motorcycles, which help them generate record breaking sales month after month. Some of their best selling motorcycles are Splendor, HF Deluxe and Passion.
      Despite the launch of new rivals, Hero continues to be at the top. Now, Honda has announced the launch of a new 100cc motorcycle, which will be their yet another attempt into ending Hero’s dominance. To counter the launch of this new Honda Shine 100, Hero MotoCorp is launching a new motorcycle as well, in the form of Passion Plus. Images are credited to Automobile Tamilan.
      Hero Passion Plus Re-Launch – Honda Shine 100 Rival
      Hero Passion Plus was discontinued in 2019, citing low demand. It was the 100cc offering of the Passion line, while regular Passion and Passion Pro are 110cc offerings. This move might be to counter the new kid in the budget commuter motorcycle block, Honda CB Shine 100. Passion Plus has already reached dealerships. Pricing will be out soon. Hat tip to
      In India, Hero MotoCorp has three lineups that classify all its motorcycles. They are Practical Line, Executive Line and Performance Line. Practical Line consists of 100cc offerings, Executive Line consists of 110cc and 125cc motorcycles and Performance Line gets Hero’s 160cc and 200cc lineup.
      2023 Hero Passion Plus 100cc
      Till now, Splendor is the most expensive offering in Practical Line. Hero Passion Plus will now take that spot, offering a slightly more executive appeal with a 100cc engine. This way, Hero offers three different models in the 100cc category. They are HF, Splendor Plus and Passion Plus. Diversifying its 100cc portfolio is the best bet for Hero to attract customers from jumping onto Honda’s ship.
      Features and Specifications
      Hero Passion Plus is likely to be the new flagship for Hero’s Practical Line. Followed by Splendor Plus, HF Deluxe and HF 100. Passion Plus will come equipped with the same 97.2cc engine generating 7.91 bhp at 8000 RPM and 8.05 Nm of torque at 6000 RPM. This engine gets a 4-speed gearbox unit.
      Instrumentation and features list is likely to be identical to standard Passion 110. We’re talking about a semi-digital instrument cluster along with a mobile charging port beside it. There is an analog speedometer along with a squarish LCD display. This display will show odometer readings, trip meters, fuel gauges and more.
      2023 Hero Passion Plus 100cc
      Hero’s proprietary i3S stop-start tech is present too. Fuel efficiency is likely to be Hero Passion Plus’ forte. There is no official figure as of now. But 60+ km/l of fuel efficiency is likely. Hero might launch an XTEC version in the future too, if demands exist. XTEC variant will get a fully digital instrument console with Bluetooth connectivity as well.
      How Much Does It Cost?
      Drum brakes at both ends, conventional telescopic front forks, twin shock absorbers at the rear, 80/100-18 tyres at both ends, and a long seat are expected componentry. Lighting involves halogens for headlights, tail lights and turn indicators. Apart from Honda Shine 100, Hero Passion Plus will rival Bajaj Platina 100 as well.
      2023 Hero Passion Plus 100cc
      2023 Hero Passion Plus 100cc motorcycle prices are not out yet. Bookings have commenced, though. It is expected to be priced aggressively. For context, Bajaj Platina 100 costs Rs. 52,915, Honda Shine 100 costs Rs. 64,900, Hero Splendor Plus costs 72,076 and Splendor Plus XTEC costs Rs. 76,346 (all prices ex-sh, Delhi). More

      Triumph Adventurer, Street Tracker, Hurricane Registered – Names For RE Rival?

      by

      Resurrecting iconic names from the past will allow Triumph improved traction in retro segment that has been witnessing a renaissance of sorts across the globeTriumph-Bajaj Adventure Motorcycle Render
      Triumph has busy days ahead, as it plans to enter multiple new markets and launch new products. The British brand is working to diversify its portfolio to include motocross bikes, electric motorcycles and smaller capacity single-cylinder bikes. The new entry-level bikes will be manufactured in India in collaboration with Bajaj. These will take on Royal Enfield in India as well as in the international markets.
      Recent trademark applications reveal that Triumph is also working to revive iconic names such as Hurricane, Adventurer and Street Tracker. Trademark applications have been filed in multiple locations such as the US, UK, Australia and Canada. A similar approach is being utilized by BSA as well, that has recently filed trademark applications for Thunderbolt, Lightning and Bantam titles.
      Triumph Hurricane can be a three-cylinder machine
      In the US, Triumph has filed a trademark application for ‘Hurricane’ title. In comparison, the trademark paperwork in UK mentions ‘Triumph Hurricane’. As trademark application has been filed in the US, it reveals that Hurricane is likely to reach production stage. That’s because new rules in the US provide trademark protection only to names that will be used in near future. It is a way to prevent entities from registering names that they don’t intend to use. It helps avoid the so-called ‘deadwood’ trademarks.
      Talking about Hurricane, the most common association is with the X-75 Hurricane. The bike was in production from 1972 to 1973. Designed by fairing specialist Craig Vetter, X-75 Hurricane used the same platform as that of Triumph Trident and BSA Rocket 3. X-75 Hurricane was specially designed for the US market. Interestingly, it was originally planned for launch under BSA brand. However, as the BSA factory shut down in 1972, the bike was launched as a Triumph. In production for just around a year’s time, fewer than 1,200 units were manufactured.
      Bajaj-Triumph motorcycle for India – spied
      It is likely that Triumph will use a three-cylinder setup for the resurrected Hurricane. It will also borrow quite a few of the distinctive design elements. Triumph had tried to resurrect the Hurricane title earlier also, around two decades back. However, it was a completely different machine at that time.
      It was the era of bikes like Suzuki Hayabusa and Kawasaki ZX-12R, when the focus was on horsepower and top-speed. Triumph was developing a challenger in the form of a 1,298cc four-cylinder bike, codenamed A13HC. HC was probably short for Hurricane. However, the project was eventually discontinued.
      Triumph Adventurer – a middleweight scrambler
      Trademark application for ‘Adventurer’ has been filed in the US, UK, Australia and Canada. Adventurer title has been used more than once in the past. One of the associations is with TR5T Adventurer produced during 1972 – 74. The bike utilized a 500cc twin-cylinder motor. Triumph also had Adventurer 900 triple, which was in production from 1995 to 2001. It was a cruiser based on the Thunderbird.
      In the present era, most people will associate the title ‘Adventurer’ with an adventure bike. Triumph already has multiple offerings in this space such as Tiger models in 660cc to 1,200cc range. There’s Scrambler 900 and 1200 as well in the Modern Classics range. Triumph is also working on an affordable 660cc triple that will have superior off-roading capabilities in comparison to existing Tiger Sport 660. Adventurer name could also be used for one of the new single-cylinder bikes being developed in collaboration with Bajaj.
      Street Tracker trademark filed
      Triumph could use the Street Tracker name for one of the upcoming single-cylinder bikes. It is also possible that the new bike could be based on Street Triple. The Street range currently has only the Triple, after Street Scrambler and Street Twin were rebranded into Scrambler 900 and Speed Twin 900. More

      by

      Motorcycle sales in the 350cc segment posted YoY and MoM de-growth in March 2023 with most models finishing in the redRoyal Enfield dominates the 350cc segment with 90% market share
      The 350cc segment is and generally has been dominated by models from the Royal Enfield stables. However, new rivals are incoming soon. Honda is planning to expand its 350cc line-up with a new 350cc motorcycle. Hero MotoCorp is working on a single-cylinder Harley Davidson, while Bajaj-Triumph is also entering this segment soon. The 350 cc segment is set to see some upheaval.
      350cc motorcycle sales in March 2023 saw a de-growth both in terms of YoY and MoM sales. Sales which had stood at 59,697 units in March 2022 dipped 0.12 percent to 59,627 units in March 2023. This was a 70 unit fall in volumes. MoM sales dipped by 6.69 percent as against 63,900 units sold in Feb 2023.
      350cc Motorcycle Sales March 2023 – Royal Enfield commands top 5 positions
      Out of 7 models on this list, 5 were from the Royal Enfield stables. There was also the Honda CB350 lower down the list and Jawa/Yezdi also found mention on the list. On a YoY basis, every model on this list has suffered de-growth except for the Bullet 350 that also saw MoM sales end on a positive note. Besides the Bullet 350, MoM sales list also had the CB 350 and Jawa Yezdi experiencing improved sales.
      At No. 1 was RE Classic 350 with 24,466 units sold in the past month, down 25.17 percent from 32,694 units sold in March 2022. This was an 8,228 unit volume de-growth with the Classic 350 commanding a 41.03 percent share on this list. MoM sales also saw a 10.91 percent de-growth over 27,461 units sold in Feb 2023.
      350cc motorcycle sales March 2023
      RE Hunter 350cc followed with sales of 10,824 units in the past month and an 18.15 percent share. It was a Mom de-growth of 16.26 percent when compared to 12,925 units sold in Feb 2023. Despite a MoM fall in sales, the RE Hunter has received some accolades.
      It was followed by the Bullet 350 with YoY and MoM growth in sales. YoY sales improved by 3.77 percent to 8,595 units in March 2023 from 8,283 units sold in March 2022. MoM sales were higher by 4.41 percent as against 8,232 units sold in Feb 2023. Share percentage on this list also improved from 12.88 percent to 14.41 percent MoM.

      BSA Thunderbolt, Lightning, Bantam Trademarked – New Rivals To Royal Enfield

      by

      BSA has had a good start in the UK, with Gold Star emerging as the bestselling retro motorcycle in March with sales at 253 unitsBSA Gold Star on test in India
      With good response to Gold Star in the UK, BSA is looking to expand its portfolio and explore other international markets as well. Towards that end, BSA has plans to resurrect some more of the iconic BSA models.
      Three new trademark applications have been filed for Lightning, Thunderbolt and Bantam titles. The applications have been filed in the US, Australia and New Zealand. If approved, retro enthusiasts can look forward to some more exhilarating rides to experience the glorious motorcycling era of 60s and 70s.
      BSA Lightning, Thunderbolt – Names trademarked
      It is not certain what approach BSA will take for the resurrected Lightning and Thunderbolt bikes. In their original format, both bikes were powered by a 654cc OHV parallel twin engine. While Lighting was an all-round sports machine, BSA Thunderbolt was positioned as a touring motorcycle. The bikes were in production in the 60s and 70s.
      If BSA chooses to continue with the original format, the resurrected Lightning and Thunderbolt will turn out to be twin-cylinder bikes. They will primarily rival the likes of Royal Enfield Interceptor 650, Continental GT 650 and Super Meteor 650. However, BSA already has Gold Star that seems to be doing a good job of challenging Royal Enfield 650cc bikes. Gold Star has a single-cylinder setup, but that hasn’t dented its prospects.
      BSA Scrambler 650cc modification
      The other option is to upgrade to a higher capacity to take on other prominent brands such as Triumph’s Bonneville range. Even Bonneville was a 650cc bike in the 60s. It has now moved up to 900cc to 1,200cc segment. Having a diversified portfolio seems more relevant, as it will allow BSA to target a larger customer base.
      BSA Bantam could be based on New Jawa / Yezdi
      In its original format, BSA Bantam was a two-stroke motorcycle, available in 125cc, 150cc and 175cc variants. It was in production from 1948 to 1971. The resurrected BSA Bantam is likely to be a smaller capacity retro machine. It could borrow the hardware from either Jawa or Yezdi bikes. New BSA Bantam will primarily rival Royal Enfield bikes in 350cc segment. It will also take on upcoming smaller capacity bikes from Harley-Davidson-Hero and Bajaj-Triumph.
      The fact that trademark applications have been filed in the US reveals that BSA is serious about resurrecting these iconic models. As per new legislation in the US, brands cannot randomly trademark names that they don’t plan to use. They can get trademark protection only for names that they intend to use in near future. This is quite different from other locations, where one can get trademarks registered without any commitment to launching the product.
      As far as Indian market is concerned, BSA doesn’t seem to have any immediate plans. The company will continue to focus on international markets. BSA’s entry into India can be considered at a later date. As of now, India is being used solely as a production hub for BSA motorcycles. More

      Ola Electric Scooter Stunt With 6 People On Board – CEO Calls It A Beast

      by

      Ola had recently issued a recall over the quality issues of the front fork of their electric scooterOla Electric Scooter Stunt
      Ola Electric had recently issued a voluntary recall of their scooter. This was in a response to multiple front fork breakdown cases reported across the country. Customers got a beefier front fork unit equipped for free. This new fork is said to withstand extreme conditions. Ola Electric mentions the new fork has a “much higher” FOS (Factor Of Safety) too.
      Ola Electric has now shared a stunt video of their electric scooter, in an attempt to demonstrate toughness of its new front fork. In the video uploaded on Ola Electric, six people squeezed onto an Ola S1 scooter and rode it on uneven terrain for a brief period. Is this the right way of demonstrating strength of front forks?
      Ola Electric Scooter Stunt
      It seems that automakers are taking a rather offensive route to counter criticism. We saw Mahindra Scorpio N subjected under a waterfall to show durability of its sunroof. Now we see Ola taking a similar route. No explanation was given to customers regarding do’s and don’ts in both cases.
      Speaking about the latest Ola electric scooter stunt with 6 people on board, all of them wore helmets. This stunt didn’t involve a public road. All individuals involved in this stunt seem to be teenagers. If you can’t spot the 6th person, he is sitting on the floorboard. You’re welcome. At the end of the video, Ola flashes a hashtag – #BuiltToPerfection.
      [embedded content]
      In this 17-second video, we can see an Ola S1 scooter almost slammed to the ground. And still manages to traverse uneven and varied terrain. Ola Electric CEO Bhavish Aggarwal took to Twitter to showcase the strength of its new front fork. He tweeted “Wow! The toughest stress test I’ve seen of any scooter till date. Ola S1 is a beast.”
      Ola Electric Stunt – 6 people on board
      Is a brief load like this equivalent to months or years of real-world usage with unfavourable road conditions? No. But the scooter did manage to hold on to its own against 6 young individuals. Proper comparison between old and new forks showing results of load tests, stress tests, bend tents, twist tests and compression tests would have made it more professional.
      Ola Front Fork Issue
      There have been multiple front-fork failure reports on Ola Scooters. This is a serious potential hazard and could very well lead to casualties, if unlucky. Single-sided fork lends a photogenic aspect to the scooter’s right side. Customers were hoping to get twin fork setups like on Ola S1 Air as part of the free-of-cost voluntary recall. That isn’t the case and Ola has issued a stronger single-sided front fork unit instead.
      Durability reports of this new fork, in the long run, are yet to come. Also, FOS is an engineering term. Most products in India have much higher FOS anyway. That’s how a 1-tonne rated truck carries almost twice the load and a commuter motorcycle can take up to 3 times its intended load. More
