      by

      Hero MotoCorp is getting ready to launch a new scooter on 30th Jan 2023 – They have now shared first official teaserNew Hero Xoom 110cc ScooterHero is the highest-selling 2W manufacturer in India. But the majority of their sales success is via the motorcycle segment. When it comes to scooters, Honda is the dominant brand.Over the years, Hero MotoCorp has launched multiple new scooters to take a bigger pie of the scooter segment. Come 30th Jan 2023, they will be launching a new scooter which is likely to be called Hero Xoom 110cc.New Hero Xoom 110cc Scooter TeaserNew Hero Xoom scooter wears a sporty suit and is set to take on Honda Dio and the likes. It gets an LED headlight set up on the front fascia with an X insignia, instead of on the handlebar. A different shape of X forms its LED tail lights. Hero Maestro Xoom 110 also gets storage compartments below its instrument console like other Hero scooters along with a USB phone charger too.Turn indicators at both ends are normal halogen, though. It gets a switchable i3S button on the switch gear which Maestro Edge 110 lacked. i3S is Hero’s fuel-saving stop/start feature that is offered with every other scooter except Maestro Edge 110.New Hero Xoom 110cc ScooterHero Xoom 110 also gets an all-new fully-digital instrument cluster with XTec connected features along with trip meters, odometer, clock, fuel-level indicator and Bluetooth with notifications and turn-by-turn navigation. One major missed opportunity for Hero Maestro Xoom 110 is that it doesn’t get an external fuel filler cap which its arch-rival Dio gets.Features & CompetitionComing to its specs, it will be powered by the same 110.9cc engine that does duty on Pleasure+ and Maestro Edge 110. This engine makes 8 bhp of power and 8.7 Nm of torque. In terms of suspension, it will get telescopic front forks.Hero Maestro Xoom 110 gets alloy wheels and front disc brakes as options. Steel wheels and front drum brakes will also be offered with lower variants. Xoom 110 will also get 12” wheels at both ends. The Maestro 110 has 12” wheels at front and 10” wheels at the rear.This will definitely be the most expensive of Hero’s 110cc scooters and will sit above Maestro Edge 110. With a sporty design, it is set out to clash with Honda Dio which is also powered by a 110cc engine. Pricing is not yet known as of now, and will be revealed on 30th Jan. Honda on the other hand, will be launching a new Honda Activa Smart variant tomorrow in India. More

      New Yamaha 150cc Classic Motorcycle Launch Price 13.4k Yuan (Rs 1.6 L)

      by

      Currently available only in China, Yamaha GT150 Fazer could be introduced in other markets at a later dateNew Yamaha 150cc ClassicIn the world of motorcycles, the classic retro look is making a resurgence. It is essentially a timeless design that appeals to folks across age groups. With that in mind, Yamaha has launched GT150 Fazer in China.Retail price starts at 13,390 yuan, which is approximately Rs 1.60 lakh. Yamaha GT150 Fazer borrows a significant percentage of its hardware and equipment from other 150cc bikes like FZ15, Fazer 150 and Crosser 150.Yamaha 150cc Classic MotorcycleYamaha GT150 Fazer has a graceful design, something that is pleasing to the eyes. The bike has friendly vibes and is available in colour options of white, dark grey, light grey and blue. Across all colour variants, much of the bike has a blacked-out lower section. It includes the fenders, alloy wheels, exhaust, engine and front and rear suspension.Some of the signature retro bits include round headlamp, rear view mirrors and turn signals. Other highlights include all-LED lights, 12V DC charging socket, fork gaiters, teardrop-shaped fuel tank, tan leather seat in quilted pattern and tracker style side panels. The bike has a round full digital instrument panel that displays a range of information.New Yamaha 150cc ClassicFor everyday commutes, Yamaha GT150 Fazer ticks all the right boxes. It has a slender profile, which will be useful in negotiating heavy traffic. Seat height is 800 mm, which should ensure easy handling and manoeuvrability. The bike has a long seat and seems adequate for two adults. However, a grab rail is missing. It may be offered as an accessory.Users can expect optimal comfort with centrally placed footpegs and pulled-back, raised handlebar. While the bike is primarily for city commutes, it seems capable of handling some mild off-roads as well. Features like handlebar brace and dual-purpose block pattern tyres will be useful in off-road environments.Yamaha GT150 Fazer performanceEngine used onboard Yamaha GT150 Fazer is a 149cc unit that has the same bore and stroke as that of FZ15, Fazer 150 and Crosser 150. The air cooled, 2 valve, SOHC motor generates 12.3 hp of max power at 7,500 rpm and 12.4 Nm of peak torque at 6,000 rpm. It is mated to a 5-speed gearbox.New Yamaha 150cc ClassicSuspension duties onboard New Yamaha 150cc Classic are performed by telescopic front forks and dual rear suspension. The bike has 18-inch wheels at both ends, shod with 90/90 front and 100/80 rear tyres. Braking duties are performed by disc brakes at both ends. The bike has a 1,330 mm wheelbase and weighs 126 kg. It has a 12.5 litre fuel tank.With growing popularity of retro bikes in India, Yamaha GT150 Fazer seems like a suitable candidate to be introduced here. However, it is not certain if and when GT150 Fazer will be launched in India. Yamaha India offers retro-styled FZ-X, although it doesn’t look as elegant as GT150 Fazer. Yamaha already has the 150cc platform in India, so launching GT150 Fazer here shouldn’t be much of an issue. More

Since launch, it’s proven to be a strong seller for the company. Bullet 350, with its iconic design and reliable performance, continues to be a popular choice among buyers, with sales improving from 8,061 units to 8,816 units.However, the Meteor 350 has seen a decline in sales, falling from almost 11k units to 6,298 units, which may be attributed to increased competition from the Hunter 350. RE Electra 350, and Honda CB 350 models have also seen a 25.22 percent and 25.07 percent decline in sales respectively. Sales of the Electra 350 fell from 4,521 units to 3,381 units.

YoY sales were up from 2.5k units. However, it saw a 27.01 percent decrease in MoM, down from 3,673 units. In comparison to Jawa Yezdi, a rival brand in the mid-segment market, Royal Enfield maintains its dominance in the market. The same holds true in reference to Honda’s 350cc product portfolio. However, with YoY and MoM decline across most models in December 2022, it’s clear that competition needs to be spruced up despite Royal Enfield’s overarching segment lead. More
