      Honda Forza 330cc Scooter Patented In India – Launch Soon?

      by

      The single-cylinder 330cc engine on Honda Forza 350 patented in India makes 29 bhp of power and 31.5 Nm of torqueHonda Forza 330cc ScooterBeing the de facto scooter manufacturer in India comes with its perks. Take Activa for example, it overshadows almost every other scooter in the Indian market including Honda’s offerings. Honda has gotten synonymous with scooters in India. All this success for Honda is limited to budget everyday scooters.Till now Honda has held itself from testing its luck with big-capacity scooters in India. That seems to be changing, as Honda has patented Forza 350 in India. It would be interesting to see if Honda actually steps towards launching it instead of stashing the patented file in the archives.Honda Forza 330cc ScooterHonda Forza 330cc Scooter PatentedWe say this because Honda has historically patented a lot of products in India. Only a handful of those have materialised. A stark example of this approach by Honda would be recently patented Hawk 11 Cafe Racer based on the same engine as Africa Twin. Will it launch? Very likely not.When Honda teased us with the formidable CB300F, the Indian automotive fraternity expected Forza 350 to be launched instead. Honda Forza 350 was showcased to Big Wing dealers before and all of them were sold out. By patenting it in India, Honda seems to have come one step closer to actually launching it. For what it is, Honda Forza 350 is a maxi-scooter with a 330cc engine. It debuted at the Bangkok International Motor Show in 2021.Honda Forza 330cc Scooter patented in IndiaEven though it looked very similar to the Forza 300, the Newer Forza 350 came equipped with a 330cc engine as opposed to the 279cc of the former. This new single-cylinder engine is capable of generating 29 bhp of power at 7500 RPM and 31.5 Nm of torque at 5250 RPM. Equipped with a lighter crankshaft, slightly larger valves and a slightly bigger throttle body, Forza 350 could clock a top speed of 137 kmph.Design & FeaturesOne look at it is enough to realise that Forza 350 is a big scooter. The huge body wrap around its rider, protecting them from wind blasts. The tall windscreen at the front adds to it as well. Flanking this windscreen are substantial-looking ORVMs with integrated turn indicators. Front fascia gets a split headlight unit that wouldn’t look out of place on a superbike.Handlebar and footpeg position allows for a neutral riding position enabling the rider to go the distance in reasonable comfort. Large and padded seats add to it significantly. It gets a single-disc setup on both sides, combined with dual-channel ABS. Suspension duties are handled by telescopic front forks and twin shock absorbers at the rear.Honda Forza 350 SpecsFront gets a 15” alloy, while the rear gets 14” unit. All of this componentry tips the scale at 185 kg. If launched in India, it will compete with other big-capacity maxi-scooters like Keeway Vieste 300 and the pricey BMW C 400 GT. That said, the chances of this getting launched in India are very meek. More

      Matter Aera Electric Motorcycle Launch Price Rs 1.44 L – 125 Km Range

      by

      For 5 kWh battery and 10 kW motor, pricing for Matter Aera puts it at an advantage as opposed to Hop Oxo and Tork KratosNew Matter Aera Electric MotorcycleThe EV revolution seems to be inevitable. Mainstream manufacturers and startups are working relentlessly to get a share of EV sales. As of now, EVs are popularised via scooter body style, offering unisex solutions. But EV motorcycle space is heating up too. We have Hop Oxo, Tork Kratos and the likes.A new contender has emerged in the form of Matter Aera, trying to defy paradox. Instead of offering EVs with CVT or single reduction gear, Matter Aera has a 4-speed gearbox. This is a unique proposition in Indian 2W EV space. There are four variants, two of which have been launched starting from Rs. 1.44 lakh (effective price, pan India).Matter Aera Electric MotorcycleFor starters, Matter has planned to launch four variants. They are named Aera 4000, Aera 5000, Aera 5000+ and Aera 6000+. The variants that have been launched are Aera 5000 for Rs. 1,43,99 and Aera 5000+ for Rs. 1,53,999. Both 5000 and 5000+ come equipped with a 5 kWh battery pack. Upcoming 6000+ will be equipped with a 6 kWh battery.This means that 4000 will be launched with a 4 kWh battery in the future and forms the entry-level variant. In terms of design, Matter Aera shoots for a sharp street bike look. Design is kept fairly straightforward and there are no attempts made to re-invent motorcycles. In this sense, it resembles regular ICE-powered street bikes with a fuel tank.New Matter Aera Electric MotorcycleWhen viewed head-on, Aera comes off as muscular. Adding to this effect is a fairly wide tank with shrouds, and a belly pan. Shrouds extend downwards and flank a mesh covering a radiator used for liquid-cooling of battery and motor. Componentry includes telescopic front forks, twin shock absorbers at the rear, front petal disc and rear conventional disc brake.New Matter Aera Electric Motorcycle SpecsDesign elements include a projector headlight at front with LEDs. At the rear, the number plate and LED indicators are integrated with tyre hugger. Aera offers split seats and a neutral riding triangle as well. The 7” touchscreen instrument cluster doubles up as a small windscreen as well.Specs & Features5000+ is the only one to get Lifestyle Package, Connected Package and Care+ Package. Care+ is complementary for pre-booking only and Connected Package is complimentary in promotional period. Despite a wheel speed sensor for the rear wheel it only gets single-channel ABS. Connectivity options include 4G, Wifi and even Bluetooth.New Matter Aera Electric Motorcycle SpecsMatter Aera boasts a 9-axis IMU as well, hinting that there could be cornering ABS in the future. Both 5000 and 5000+ come equipped with a 5 kWh battery pack. With a fast charger, Matter promises charging time as low as under 2 hours. Matter Aera comes with a 10 kW motor (13.41 bhp) of power, mated to a 4-speed manual gearbox.Range promised is 125 km from a single charge. In terms of warranty, Matter is backing buyers for 3 years / unlimited km. Not just that, Matter is offering 3y of roadside assistance and 3 years of labour charge under an AMC plan. As per rivals, Matter Aera enjoys a niche as it is the only EV in India with a 4-speed manual gearbox. More
