    RE Himalayan 3 New Colours – Glacier Blue, Sleet Black, Dune Brown

    As individual preferences vary widely, Royal Enfield has made it a point to provide a range of colour options for its bikesRE Himalayan New ColoursAt the time of Himalayan BS6 launch, colour options were Gravel Grey, Lake Blue, Rock Red, Sleet Grey, Snow White and Granite Black. In February 2021, Sleet Grey and Snow White colour options were removed. This was likely due to low demand for these colour options. As a replacement, Royal Enfield Himalayan had received colour options of Mirage Silver and Pine Green.Himalayan colour palette has been updated again with three new colour options, Glacier Blue, Sleet Black, and Dune Brown. Existing colour options continue to be on offer along with these three new colours.Himalayan new coloursHimalayan already has a blue shade (Lake Blue), which is a dual-tone blue-white theme. The new Glacial Blue variant utilizes a different shade of blue. Another unique aspect is that this new theme utilizes a mix of glossy and matte blue. While the fuel tank has a glossy finish, the front beak and side panels are done in matte shade. The glossy-matte combo is surely distinctive, but not necessarily attractive.Second new colour option of Dune Brown appears similar to a shade that was earlier used on a special edition of Classic 500. Existing Classic 350 also has a familiar shade called Signals Desert Sand.RE Himalayan New ColoursNew Dune Brown shade has a camouflage pattern, similar to that of the Pine Green colour option. The shade has been applied on the front beak, fuel tank, front rack, side panels and rear mud guard. The Dune Brown variant can be a way to highlight the bike’s capabilities across sandy terrain. Pricing of new colour versions of Himalayan is Rs 2.15 lakh, ex-sh.B Govindarajan, Chief Executive Officer, Royal Enfield said “Launched in 2016, the Royal Enfield Himalayan has been a stellar performing motorcycle in our portfolio. Developed and designed from decades of experience of riding in the mountains, and thousands of kilometers of traversing some of the toughest terrain, the Himalayan has undoubtedly created a new segment of accessible adventure touring for riders across the world. A simple, versatile, go-anywhere motorcycle, the Himalayan has resonated well with millions of adventure aficionados and has brought in new riding enthusiasts into the Royal Enfield community. The reliable and consistent performance of the Himalayan coupled with the introduction of these new terrain-inspired hues will definitely add more colour to every adventure.”Himalayan specsApart from the new colour options, there are no other updates for Himalayan. The bike is powered by a 411cc, air cooled, SOHC motor that generates 24.3 bhp of max power at 6,500 rpm and 32 Nm of peak torque at 4,000-4,500 rpm. It is mated to a constant mesh 5-speed gearbox. The bike has ground clearance of 220mm and dual-channel switchable ABS is offered as standard.RE Himalayan New ColoursWhile Royal Enfield has already expanded its 400cc portfolio with Scram 411, a larger capacity Himalayan 450 is also under development. It is expected to get a range of updates and offer improved off-road performance. More

    New BSA Scrambler Debuts – Rival To Royal Enfield 650cc

    Classic Legends will launch BSA Scrambler 650 to take on the upcoming Royal Enfield Scram 650BSA Scrambler 650cc. Image –Mr Darcy & The Ol’ ManAfter reviving Jawa and Yezdi brands in India, Classic Legends recently announced the revival of BSA marque. With the launch of Goldstar 650, young and old motorcycle enthusiasts across Europe were excited. Birmingham Small Arms Company is one of the oldest motorcycle manufacturers in Britain.The Gold Star 650 in particular was one of its best offerings. It was also one of the fastest motorcycles back in the 60s. Revived by Classic Legends, a subsidiary brand of automotive giant Mahindra, it is yet to be seen if BSA will ever make it to India to rival Royal Enfield’s 650cc big boys.BSA Scrambler 650 UnveiledNow that Royal Enfield’s Scram 650 is spotted testing multiple times, what does BSA have in its arsenal to tackle it in Europe? Well, BSA Scrambler 650 is showcased at Motorcycle Live 2022 held at NEC Birmingham. Let’s take a look at what BSA has to offer.One look at this motorcycle is enough to appreciate what BSA was going for. It is simple. BSA Scrambler looks extremely minimalist and purposeful at the same time. It is based on the recently launched Gold Star 650. That said, there is a considerable amount of changes that we can spot on BSA Scrambler 650. Take a look at the walkaround video by Mr Darcy & The Ol’ Man.[embedded content][embedded content]It gets a classic fuel tank along with round headlights. Side panels are minimal and the engine bay is finished off in black and the design pays tribute to BSAs of the past. Headlights get LEDs and a protective grille.A small beak is present at the front along with fork gaiters to help keep slush in check. At the rear, the show bike doesn’t get taillights, rear blinkers, or a tyre hugger. It gets twin barrel exhaust with sharply tapering tips, which reminds us of MV Agusta Brutale 800 RR. Rear suspension is taken care of by twin shock absorbers. The front gets regular telescopic forks.Finishing off the Scrambler look, we have wire-spoke rims shod with block-pattern tyres. BSA Scrambler 650 gets a single-pod circular instrument cluster and a scrambler-style handlebar. This instrument cluster is fully digital and is mounted at the centre, unlike an off-set pod.Circular Instrument ClusterSpecs & LaunchBraking hardware is likely to be similar to Gold Star 650’s. Which gets disc brakes both at the front and rear. The front gets 320 mm disc and the rear gets 255 mm disc with Brembo brake calipers and ABS system. A large radiator is present at front which forms its cooling unit.Engine is also from BSA Gold Star 650, which is a 652cc single-cylinder engine developed in collaboration with Austrian firm Rotax and Technical University of Graz in Austria. On BSA Scrambler 650, this engine is capable of making 45 bhp of max power and 55 Nm of max torque and is mated to a 5-speed gearbox. These figures are similar to Gold Star’s.Unlike Royal Enfiled Scram 650, BSA Scrambler 650 will be a single-cylinder thumper. Launch timeline is not yet revealed by BSA and there is no news about this launch in India. That said, BSA is likely to launch Scrambler 650 sometime next year. More

    New Pulsar P150 First Walkarund – Vs Apache 160, Unicorn, FZ 15, Gixxer

    Suzuki Gixxer 155 makes 13.41 bhp of power and is the most expensive motorcycle in the list at Rs. 1.3 lakhNew Bajaj Pulsar P150For Bajaj, Pulsar 150 is ground zero. This is where Bajaj’s journey towards desirable motorcycles began. One that raised the pulse of Indians and established an entire segment around it. Now that this legend is back as Pulsar P150 in a new avatar by shedding 10 kg in the gym, how much does this affect its rival’s pulse? Let’s take a look.This is the 3rd generation of Pulsar 150 and is a lot sharper than the second generation. After a decade of changing stickers, Bajaj has finally changed the look of this legend and has revised its features list as well. That said, Pulsar P150 does not resemble the N series of Pulsars which is its premium line.Pulsar P150 Vs Unicorn Vs FZ 15 Vs Apache 160 Vs Gixxer 155We now get projector headlights, underbelly exhaust, a monoshock rear suspension, a USB charger and some more. But are these enough to challenge its arch-rival TVS Apache RTR 160 2V and others like Honda Unicorn, Suzuki Gixxer 155 and Yamaha FZ? Take a look at the specs sheet below and see what’s what.At 15.31 bhp, Apache is the most powerful of the bunch, followed by P150 with 14.29 bhp and FZ is least powerful at 12.2 bhp. Despite its low power figure, Honda Unicorn 160 has the most torque at 14 Nm. Yamaha FZ makes 13.5 Nm, but that figure comes up at just 5,500 RPM. Newly launched Pulsar P150 makes 13.5 Nm at 6,000 RPM. New Pulsar can be seen in the first look walkaround video below, credited to Moto Vlogz.[embedded content][embedded content]All motorcycles get a 5-speed gearbox that powers the rear wheel. At 1,352 mm, Pulsar P150 has the longest wheelbase followed by Unicorn and Gixxer at 1,335 mm. Unicorn has highest ground clearance at 187 mm and highest seat height as well, measured at 798 mm. Apache offers 180 mm of ground clearance while others boast of a figure around 160 mm.Despite Pulsar P150 losing 10 kg of weight, at 140 kg, it is still no match for FZ at 135 kg. Other contenders weigh around 140 kg as well. Pulsar P150 leads the segment with 14L fuel tank while Unicorn and FZ get 13L and Apache and Gixxer get 12L only.Hardware ComponentsOwing to its commuter-ish appeal, Unicorn sports the skinniest tyres. Pulsar P150 and Apache RTR 160 sport 90/90-17 at front and 110/80-17 at the rear with top-spec models. That said, flexing their leg muscles, both FZ and Gixxer get 100/80-17 at front and a fat 140/60-17 at the rear. Unicorn is the only one to not offer rear disc brakes even as an option.Bajaj Pulsar P150 Vs RivalsBoth Gixxer and FZ offer rear disc brakes as standard, while it is optional with Pulsar and Apache. All bikes except Apache sports rear monoshock and all of them sport front telescopic forks. Except for Unicorn, every other motorcycle packs a digital instrument cluster, LED headlight and LED taillight. While Pulsar P150 packs a USB charger, Apache offers ride modes and even connected features.Pricing is very interesting as Suzuki Gixxer 155 is by far the priciest of this bunch at Rs. 1.3 lakh, followed by TVS Apache RTR 160 2V at up to Rs. 1.25 lakh, Yamaha FZ priced up to Rs. 1.21 lakh, Bajaj Pulsar P150 priced up to Rs. 1.19 lakh and lastly, we have Honda Unicorn 160 priced at 1.04 lakh. Pulsar P150 forms a middle ground as it offers decent features, performance and is decently priced and decently kitted out as well. Will that be enough to recreate the charm of OG Pulsar 150? Might very well be. More

    Royal Enfield Electric Motorcycle Concept Leaks – Electrik 01

    We can expect Royal Enfield’s maiden electric bike to have around 100 to 150 km range and performance enough to match their 350cc portfolioRoyal Enfield Electric Motorcycle ConceptHoly Moly! That was the expression that struck my mind when I first laid my eyes on this beauty. Eicher Motors CEO Siddhartha Lal had given subtle hints at Hunter 350 launch event as to what kind of EVs may come out of Royal Enfield stables in the coming years. He mentioned that the very first Royal Enfield electric vehicle will be revealed in a few years.We knew that RE was cooking something that had nothing to do with IC engines. Now, the first photo of their first electric motorcycle has leaked online. What we see is so radical, it has managed to take us back in time. This is unlike anything that has come out of Royal Enfield stables in decades.Royal Enfield Electric Motorcycle ConceptThe motorcycle in question is Royal Enfield’s maiden electric product. It is internally codenamed “Electrik01”, and hints at the possibility that there might be future versions of this concept. Even though this isn’t a full reveal, we can get a hold of what aesthetics Royal Enfield is going for. For starters, the main eye-grabber is its front girder fork which is ancient technology in today’s standards.To put it into context as to how old that is, I am an Automobile Engineer and I never once read about it throughout my degree. Since I am a vintage car and vintage motorcycle enthusiast, I am aware of such relics. It consists of two girder arms that hold either side of the wheel. There is a top dogbone that connects this fork to the motorcycle’s frame.Royal Enfield Electric Motorcycle ConceptSince there is only one link, it was considered as ineffective as motorcycles went faster around the corners. Telescopic forks have the advantage of providing twice the clamping and rigidity. Today, USD forks are regarded as better because they pose a major advantage in corner carving as the fatter part is up top and offers more surface area for clamping and hence, sharper handling.This type of setup usually only gets one spring and damper. But on Electrik01, there seem to be two forks. We don’t see any provision for adjusting the dampers either. Sticking with Royal Enfield’s maiden electric bike, the report further states that ‘non-conformist’, ‘game changer’ and ‘lone wolf’ were present in its product brief. It is likely that RE will stick with conventional setups to share parts with multiple products. Or embrace girder forks too.DesignDespite being an electric vehicle, Electrik01 gets a fuel tank which is likely to be purely aesthetic. This is an indication that RE will stick to its roots and offer a retro-styled or a neo-retro-styled motorcycle. Elements like round headlight, minimalist speedo and curvaceous lines are present on Electrik01. This concept gets a futuristic chassis and production-spec vehicles will likely sport a conventional chassis.Looking at the timeframe that the British brand generally takes to launch one of its products, it is safe to say that Royal Enfield’s maiden electric bike is still years down the line. Since it is their maiden EV, that timeframe is likely to go even further. Royal Enfield is in no hurry and will take their own sweet sweet time to roll out an EV that will be good, and also meet expectations.Source More
