      by

      New Honda CUV eActiva Electric is anticipated to share the CUV e’s electric motor, design elements, and potentially its overall performance capabilities
      Honda has officially unveiled the CUV e at the 2024 EICMA Show, held from November 7-10, 2024. This new electric scooter concept, which previously made an appearance at the 2023 Tokyo Motor Show, appears to provide a preview of what the highly anticipated Activa Electric might look like.
      Honda Activa EV New Teaser
      Honda India has shared couple of teasers of the upcoming Activa Electric, and thanks to that we can draw some references. With design and mechanical similarities, the Activa Electric for India is expected to be based on the CUV e. The electric motor in the Activa teaser, as well as the headlight design and seat shape, closely match those of the CUV e.

      The CUV e comes in three striking color options: Pearl Jubilee White, Matte Gunpowder Black Metallic, and Premium Silver Metallic. Its design retains a familiar scooter silhouette with modernized elements, including sculpted body panels and a smooth finish. The scooter features a front apron-mounted headlamp and a sleek rear tail lamp bar, complemented by foldable pillion footrests.
      Riders will appreciate the dual TFT display options—either a 5-inch or 7-inch screen—with the larger version supporting smartphone connectivity via Honda RoadSync Duo. This system enables Bluetooth pairing for calls and navigation, as well as music control. Other convenient features include a USB-C charging port, a key fob for seamless access, and 12-inch alloy wheels at both the front and rear.

Vehicle sales during this period saw improvements across all segments, well surpassing last year’s figures during the similar period that fell between 15th Oct 2023 and 25th Nov 2023.
      Retail sales across the automobile segment saw surging figures hitting record sales. These sales figures could have even been higher had it not been adversely affected by various weather conditions. The southern states were affected by unseasonal heavy rains while in late October, Odisha had to face a backlash after being struck by Cyclone Dana.
      Festive Vehicle Retail Sales 2024
      Total vehicle retail sales stood at 42,88,248 units in the 45 day period from 3rd Oct 2024 to 13th Nov 2024. This was an 11.76% YoY growth from 38,37,040 units sold in the 15th Oct 2023 and 25th Nov 2023. It had a volume growth of 4,51,208 units.
      Two wheeler sales grew by double digits of 13.79% to 33,11,325 units in the 2024 festive period over 29,10,141 units sold in the corresponding period of 2023. This was a volume growth of 4,01,184 units. Most of these sales were largely dominated by hefty rural demand.
      42 day Festive period 2024 – Automotive retail sales in India
      3W sales grew by 6.81% in the 2024 festive period to 1,59,960 units. This was over 1,49,764 units sold in the corresponding 45 day period of 2023. This related to a volume growth of 10,196 units.
      PV Festive Vehicle Retail Sales Up 7.10%
      With most automakers in India offering heavy festive discounts across the passenger vehicle (PV) segment, retail sales surged 7.10% to 6,03,009 units in the festive 2024 period over 5,63,059 units sold in the same 45 day period of 2023. This was a strong volume increase of 39,950 units.

      Tractor sales suffered a decline of 1.64%. Sales dipped to 85,216 units in the Festive 2024 period from 86,640 units sold in the 2023 period marking a decline of 1,424 units. The tractor segment is expected to make up in terms of sales thanks to a favourable monsoon and government’s policies which see an increase in the Minimum Support Price (MSP) of crops. Now with the festivities coming to a conclusion, the automobile segment remains hopeful to end the calendar year on a promising note allowing dealers to liquidate 2024 stocks and enter the New Year with 21 day inventories. With November and December 2024 marking favourable months for the wedding season in India, improved demand, particularly in the 2W and PV segments are anticipated. More

      by

      Royal Enfield Classic 350 Bobber
      With the Royal Enfield Goan Classic 350, users can expect more enjoyable rides and some distinctive features as well
      Royal Enfield has strived to increase options available to enthusiasts continuously. As part of that strategy, RE’s 350cc portfolio will get a new member – the Goan Classic 350. The new bike is scheduled to debut at the upcoming Motoverse. The 3-day event will be held from 22nd to 24th November 2024.
      Royal Enfield Goan Classic 350 – What’s different?
      New Royal Enfield Goan Classic 350 will feature distinctive elements that make it stand out among other 350cc motorcycles from Royal Enfield. For example, the bike will be getting whitewall tyres which were a popular choice during the 1950s and 1960s. Their use was quite common across both cars and motorcycles. Brands like Harley-Davidson and Indian had used these tyres for several of their products.
      Royal Enfield Classic 350 Bobber Spied
      Whitewall tyres enhance the retro vibes of the bobber-style Goan Classic 350. Enthusiasts who prefer a vintage look and feel will surely be interested in the new Royal Enfield bike. As of now, whitewall tyres are quite rare to be spotted with modern motorcycles. Other changes include a new “U” handlebar that better suits the needs of a bobber-style motorcycle.
      Royal Enfield Goan Classic 350 has a ground clearance of 170 mm. It will come with a rider-only seat as standard. A pillion seat will be available as an accessory, along with the supporting kit needed to mount it at the rear. The setup can be similar to that of the pillion seat option available with Shotgun 650. With the rider-only seat, Royal Enfield Goan Classic 350 has a kerb weight of 197 kg. With the pillion seat and supporting frame, the weight of the bike will increase by around 9 kg.
      Royal Enfield Classic 350 Bobber
      Parts borrowed from Classic 350
      Most other features of Royal Enfield Goan Classic 350 will be the same as Classic 350. Some of the key highlights include a circular headlamp (probably LED) and rear-view mirrors, tear-drop fuel tank and broad fenders at front and rear. Suspension setup comprises conventional telescopic forks at front and dual rear shock absorbers. While spoked wheels will be better suited for the bobber-style Goan Classic 350, Royal Enfield may provide the option of alloy wheels as well.
      Wheel sizes could be similar to Classic 350 – 19-inch front and 18-inch rear. Braking setup is expected to have 300 mm and 270 mm discs at front and rear, respectively. The twin downtube spine frame will be similar to other 350cc Royal Enfield motorcycles. Powering Royal Enfield Goan Classic 350 will be the same 349cc, single-cylinder, air-oil cooled engine that generates 20.2 bhp and 27 Nm of torque. It is mated with a 5-speed constant mesh gearbox.
      Royal Enfield Bobber 350 – Image for reference only
      Goan Classic 350 – Price estimate
      Royal Enfield Goan Classic 350 will be marketed as a lifestyle product and could command a slightly higher pricing in comparison to Classic 350. This can be especially true for the top variants of Goan Classic 350. For reference, Classic 350 single-channel ABS variants start at Rs 1.93 lakh. The top variant is available at Rs 2.30 lakh.

      2025 Honda CL500 Scrambler Announced – Gets New Colours, Improvements

      by

      2025 Honda CL500 ScramblerThe 471cc parallel-twin DOHC 4V/cyl liquid-cooled motor on 2025 Honda CL500 Scrambler makes 46 bhp and 43.4 Nm, mated to 6-speed gearbox
      One of the world’s most iconic motorcycle manufacturers, Honda, has been continually updating its portfolio. Latest update comes to its premium Scrambler-style motorcycle in the form of CL500. This motorcycle has been updated with fresh set of colours for MY25 and gets a few improvements to make it a better product than it was.
      2025 Honda CL500 Scrambler
      Honda first announced CL500 a couple of years ago at EICMA 2022. The motorcycle was showcased alongside Rebel CMX1100T and Transalp ADV, among other offerings. This is a classic retro motorcycle with Scrambler genes that aims to provide the perfect blend of on and off-road performance.
      2025 Honda CL500 Scrambler New Colours
      With 2025 Honda CL500 Scrambler, the company is offering four striking colours that is primarily only seen on fuel tank. These colours are Pearl Dask Yellow, Matte Fresco Brown, Matte Laurel Green Metallic and lastly, we have Matte Gunpowder Black Metallic. The negative LCD instrument cluster has received an update for improved legibility.
      The design has been one of the key attributes and strengths of CL500 as it adheres to neo-retro genre. The motorcycle went on sale in 2023 in select markets and is not on sale in India. There are other displacement options with Honda’s CL family including 250cc, 300cc and 500cc offerings.
      2025 Honda CL500 Scrambler Negative LCD Cluster
      All these motorcycles have almost similar design elements to maintain family identity. There is a round headlight housing four LED elements. Apart from the metallic finishes on clutch and brake levers and front forks, Honda has gone for a matt-black look almost everywhere that bodes well with bike’s overall design.
      We have a circular instrument pod along with a wide handlebar and fork gaiters to establish a Scrambler-esque look. Round headlights, a single-piece ribbed seat, a clean tail section, an exposed trellis frame, pill-shaped LED tail lights, an up-swept exhaust with a chunky heat shield and round LED turn indicators are other notable design elements.
      New Honda CL500 Scrambler
      Style and Performance
      Honda also offers multiple accessory packs to enhance the bike’s design. There are Travel Pack with functional saddles on left side, Adventure Package that gets a front beak and a Style Pack that gets a headlight cowl for a Cafe Racer look. Alloy wheels are offered with 19-inch front and 17-inch rear along with disc brakes at either end with dual-channel ABS.
      Powering the motorcycle is the same 471cc DOHC 4V/cyl liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine that is capable of kicking out around 46 bhp of peak power and 43.3 Nm of peak torque, mated to a 6-speed gearbox. While HMSI has patented the bike’s design, launch probabilities of CL500 in India are very meek.

      TVS Apache RTX 310 ADV Leaked – Himalayan 450 Rival Launch In 2025?

      by

      TVS Apache RTX 310 RenderComing from TVS, Apache RTX 310 ADV will have an overload of features, gizmos, technology and an extensive electronic rider aids
      One of India’s leading 2W and 3W vehicle manufacturers, TVS Motor, is expanding its portfolio to include an ADV offering. The company has never launched an ADV yet, and will reportedly positioned on TVS-BMW’s 310 platform. Recent developments show that this motorcycle is in its final testing phase and could see a launch in 2025.
      TVS Apache RTX 310 ADV
      The company has an extensive lineup of premium bikes spread across Apache and Ronin brands. TVS has showcased a Scrambler version of Ronin, called Ronin SCR and might have launch intentions with this product as the design was patented too. ADVs like Royal Enfield Himalayan and KTM 390 Adventure are currently popular.
      TVS Apache RTX 310 ADV Leaked
      New developments from TVS camp suggest that the company is eyeing for a 310 platform-based ADV motorcycle. A recent report suggests that a 300cc ADV motorcycle has been spied testing and has reached final stages of testing with a production model reportedly set to launch in mid-2025.
      The report also attached a snippet of what looks like an ADV motorcycle from TVS. This could be taken from one of TVS’ internal presentations. Looking at the silhouette, one can deduce that TVS is going for a proper adventure tourer with a semi-fairing and a tall windscreen to protect riders from wind blasts.
      TVS Apache RTX Name Trademarked
      What can we expect?
      These developments call for speculations as to what we can expect from this upcoming motorcycle. For starters, we think TVS might position this under the Apache brand and utilise the already trademarked “Apache RTX” name. Going by company’s strategies, RR is a supersport, RTR is a street fighter and RTX could be an adventure tourer.
      Secondly, we can speculate what TVS might offer with this bike in terms of components. The leaked image suggests there may be 21-inch front and 18-inch rear wire-spoke wheels with tubeless tyres, fully adjustable suspension (compression and rebound front, rebound and preload rear) and disc brakes at both ends with switchable dual-channel ABS.
      TVS Apache RTX 310 ADV Render
      Where features are concerned, TVS is highly likely to jam-pack this motorcycle with electronics and features. We can expect a sophisticated IMU with cruise control, cornering control, traction control, ABS modes among others. We can see ventilated seats for both rider and pillion along with a TFT cluster with a plethora of features including music control and navigation.
      Powertrains-wise, the same 310cc reverse inclined single-cylinder liquid-cooled DOHC 4V unit might power the upcoming TVS Apache RTX 310 ADV. The 450cc twin-cylinder unit recently debuted on BMW F 450 GS Concept is highly unlikely. Same performance metrics as recently launched Apache RR 310, 37.5 bhp and 29 Nm, mated to a 6-speed gearbox, slipper clutch and bi-directional quick-shifter are possible.

      2025 Honda Dio 125 Debuts With New Colours – India Launch Likely?

      by

      2025 Honda Dio 125 South KoreaThe same 124cc single cylinder air-cooled engine with 8.2 bhp and 10.6 Nm also powers the 2025 Honda Dio 125 debuted in South Korea
      HMSI (Honda Motorcycles and Scooters India) has positioned itself as the country’s de facto scooter manufacturer. With the help of Activa and Dio, Honda has emerged as the leader in scooter segment. Dio is the sportier and more aggressively designed offering and has garnered great reception in India.
      The company offers Dio in both 110cc and more recently, 125cc engine variants with a multitude of features and creature comforts. But it could always do with more colours. One particular colour sparked our interest, seen on the newly launched 2025 Honda Dio for South Korean market. Let’s take a look.
      2025 Honda Dio 125 South Korea
      2025 Honda Dio 125 Debuts In South Korea
      In South Korea, Honda has launched the 2025 Dio 125 for a starting price of KRW 2,690,000 including VAT. Which roughly translates to Rs 1.62 lakh in today’s currency exchange rates. There are just two colours on offer in South Korea – Mat Axis Gray Metallic and Pearl Deep Ground Gray.
      For context, HMSI offers Dio 125 in India for a starting price of Rs 84,851 (Ex-sh) for STD model and Rs 91,750 (Ex-sh) for the SMART variant with Honda’s Smart Key feature. In India, there are many colour options to choose from – Mat Sangria Red Metallic, Pearl Deep Ground Gray, Pearl Nightster Black, Mat Axis Gray Metallic, Sports Red, Pearl Siren Blue and Mat Marvel Blue Metallic.
      Honda Dio 125 South Korea – Pearl Deep Ground Gray
      Both South Korean and Indian markets get Mat Axis Gray Metallic and Pearl Deep Ground Gray colours. But they don’t appear the same. South Korean Mat Axis Gray Metallic is slightly darker in appearance and almost looks Matt Black. On the other hand, Pearl Deep Ground Gray offered in South Korea has a Blueish tint to it, making it look like light teal shade.
      Honda Dio 125 South Korea – Mat Axis Gray Metallic
      Except for the change in colours, there don’t seem to be any other differences with recently launched 2025 Honda Dio 125 in South Korea. We still get the same sporty design with LED headlight in its apron, flanked by massive turn indicators. LED DRLs are on the handlebar and overall design gets a lot of cuts and creases to lend an aggressive appearance.

      Same 125cc engine?
      Componentry-wise, Indian model and South Korean model shares the same 12-inch front and 10-inch rear alloy wheels, front disc brakes and rear drum brakes. They get the same features too, including a split digital console and a keyless ignition system as part of Honda’s Smart Key.
      Honda Dio 125 South Korea – Engine
      The same 124cc single-cylinder air-cooled engine powers the scooter with around 8.2 bhp of peak power and 10.2 Nm of peak torque, mated to a CVT. Fuel tank is 5.3L and Honda claims 49.5 km/l mileage (fuel efficiency) with South Korean model at 60 km/h steady speed. While HMSI has not confirmed to expand Dio 125’s palette, we hope these new colours make it to Indian model.
