      Royal Enfield 650 Modified Into 865cc Cafe Racer For Rs 4.5 Lakh

      by

      The entire mod job, inclusive of the big bore, has cost around Rs 4.50 lakh, making it more expensive than the stock Royal Enfield 650Royal Enfield Ice Queen 865cc by Ricochet MotorcyclesRelationship between Royal Enfield motorcycles and the aftermarket industry goes decades back. Needless to say, the Chennai-based bikemaker is the most loved brand in the aftermarket industry. Over the years, we have come to witness some very unique and aesthetically pleasing mod jobs.Some works are focussed on enhancing the looks while some are centred around their performance. The latest example caters to the latter. In a video posted on YouTube channel BikeWithGirl, the vlogger presents a custom-made bike that has been built on Royal Enfield 650 Twin.Royal Enfield 650 Modified Into 865ccThis modification has been done by Debashish and his team of Pune-based workshop Ricochet Motorcycles. Design of the custom-built bike has been updated for the better as it commands a more prominent road presence. It gets a custom-stitched single-piece saddle with a ribbed pattern and a cowl at rear. Also, it gets custom-built side body panels with the branding of Ricochet Motorcycles.Weight of the bike has been significantly reduced with the help of custom materials used for the clip-on handlebar, carbon fibre mudguard at front, and key lock structure. Further, the front fender has been chopped short while the rear unit has been removed to restrict additional weight. Red highlights on fuel tank and brake callipers against the black background create a nice contrasting appeal.Royal Enfield Ice Queen 865cc by Ricochet MotorcyclesPowertrain UpdatesHowever, the big deal is underneath the metal as mentioned earlier since plenty of mechanical tweaks have been made to the motorcycle. For starters, the engine has been bored out for a greater displacement. This has been achieved by using an extended sleeve for the piston to move, thus, increasing the volume of the cylinders.Along with bored-out cylinders, alterations have been made to the gearing as well with a larger sprocket with extra teeth used. It also receives an upgraded drag chain to sustain high power driving. The change in sprocket and drivetrain has resulted in a 25% increase in initial acceleration.Updated DynamicsExact performance figures from the bored-out engine haven’t been revealed, but the bike will be taken to a dyno test centre where it will be evaluated. To complement the additional performance, braking has been made stronger with twin discs at front powered by a 4-piston twin calliper. The rear disc brake setup remains stock.[embedded content][embedded content]The bike now rides on lighter aluminium rims shod with performance tyres. Another major component where weight has been reduced is a custom handmade twin exhaust pipe and mufflers. Moreover, riding characteristics have also been tweaked thanks to the stock suspension setup replaced by an aftermarket unit sourced from Benelli. Further, springs have been designed in-house to match the suspension. More

Multiple waves of the pandemic, lower rural demand, sky rocketing fuel prices, closure of offices, schools and colleges and higher cost of ownership have individually and collectively had a significant role to play in this de-growth.The issue is further compounded by the ongoing strife in Ukraine that has adversely affected supply chains and procurement of key precious metals. Such is the scenario, that FADA has urged all two-wheeler OEMs to announce special schemes in a bid to boost sales. Hero MotoCorp led the list with 4 out of 10 bikes among the top ten.

      RGNT Electric Motorcycles Updated With New Features – 150 Kms Range

      by

      RGNT is offering a wide range of customisation options on Scrambler and Classic including colour options along with numerous gear and accessoriesRGNT Electric Motorcycle ScramblerWith a big evolution of electric vehicle (EV) technologies in the last few years, manufacturers are now aiming at the performance end of the segment in the electric mobility space. EVs are known for their strong performance and more such battery-powered vehicles will hit markets in the near future.In this regard, Swedish electric motorcycle brand RGNT has updated two of its flagship electric motorcycles under its SEL (Sport Extended Limited) family- Scrambler and Classic. The latest set of updates makes both electric bikes faster, richer in tech and more comfortable.RGNT Scrambler, Classic- Updated FeaturesWhile Scrambler and Classic are identical to each other underneath their skin, they are differentiated by their respective styling and ergonomics. Starting with the updated features, both motorcycles now receive a new instrument panel that has been completely redesigned and reprogrammed.Referred to as the Human Machine Interface, RGNT claims that this new interface offers a better connection between riders and their bikes, thanks to extensive personalization options. The electric bikes also receive a new thumb-operated joystick. This feature is positioned on the handlebar, allowing for easy toggle through various features of the console very convenient.RGNT Electric Motorcycle ClassicRGNT engineering team has also made some crucial changes to its connectivity app that now offers real-time updates on charging status and remaining charge time, battery range and motorcycle bike location on the rider’s smartphone. The console has been enabled to receive regular over-the-air updates. Lastly, a built-in sound generator alerts pedestrians and other road users of the bike’s presence.RGNT Electric Motorcycle ScramblerPowertrain Details & PerformanceComing to performance, both Scrambler and Classic are now designed to offer better performance. Improvements have been made to the drivetrain and electric motor that have resulted in more efficient heat dissipation. It not only increases longevity and reliability of the electric motor but it can also draw more power from the battery. This has resulted in an increase in nominal power output from 8.5kW to 9.5kW.The previous models came with two ride modes- Power and Range, both self-explanatory. In the latest iteration, both bikes are now offered an additional mode called Boost. In Boost mode, the motorcycle temporarily offers a peak power of +20 kW with a twist of a throttle. Further, the updated bikes now come with a two-wheeler equivalent of One-Pedal Drive.RGNT Electric Motorcycle ChargingThis means closing the throttle and twisting it in the opposite direction would activate engine braking. However, engaging this mode frequently would lead to draining of the battery pack. Both bikes claim a range of 150km. Both electric motorcycles are offered a new quick charger that can be used on any standard wall socket. With this new setup on offer, 0-100 percent charging takes about four hours while 20-80 percent takes three hours.PricesOther significant innovations by RGNT include a keyless start along with an integrated steering lock. To maintain exclusivity only 50 units of these bikes will be made. With all updates on offer, both bikes do not come with a cheap price tag. While Classic is priced at 14,495 Euros (approx. INR 12.0 lakh), Scrambler is priced even higher at 15,495 Euros (approx. INR 14.10 lakh). More

      Yamaha XSR 125 Legacy Edition Debuts – New Colour, Updates

      by

      Yamaha XSR 125 Legacy Edition features cosmetic updates over the outgoing model, mechanically it is the same bikeYamaha XSR 125 Legacy EditionYamaha has unveiled an updated version of XSR 125 for the year 2022. Named XSR 125 Legacy Edition, the updated iteration of the neo-retro roadster has been priced at £4,950 (equivalent to INR 4.90 lakh). The bikes will start hitting showrooms across the United Kingdom from June 2022 onwards.XSR 125 was launched in Europe last year and is based on its street naked sibling MT-125. The new Legacy Edition of XSR 125 comes with some significant cosmetic updates over the outgoing model. The aesthetic updates give the motorcycle an overall fresh appeal.Yamaha XSR 125 Legacy Edition- Styling HighlightsFor 2022, Yamaha XSR 125 receives new paint schemes, wire-spoke wheels with rims painted in golden colour and wrapped around by new Metzeler Karoo tyres. The outgoing model rolled on black alloy wheels. Tyre design is claimed to give out a retro feeling, thanks to block patterns whereas a two-piece aluminium, exhaust muffler has also been redesigned to look more retro.The golden-coloured stripe and ‘Yamaha’ lettering on the fuel tank create a nice contrast with the glossy black paint. Apart from this, all visual highlights in the updated XSR 125 Legacy Edition have been carried forward from its predecessor. Yamaha is also planning to launch a series of accessories with the new XSR 125 like an expensive Akrapovic exhaust, a tank pad, screens and a host of other add-ons.Yamaha XSR 125 Legacy EditionSpecs & Features on offerIn terms of specs, XSR 125 Legacy Edition is identical to its predecessor. It gets the same 125cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine as MT-125 that kicks out 14.8 bhp at 10,000rpm and peak torque of 11.5 Nm at 8000rpm. This unit is linked to a 6-speed transmission. The new-retro roadster is underpinned by a Deltabox-style beam frame.It is suspended on 37mm upside-down forks in front and mono-shock at rear. Anchorage is taken care of by disc brakes at both ends and aided by a dual-channel ABS as standard. As far as features go, XSR 125 is laced with a fully digital, blue-backlit, circular instrument display and an LED lighting setup which have been borrowed from XSR 155.Other Yamaha UpdatesSadly, XSR 125 Legacy Edition is unlikely to reach Indian shores anytime soon. While Indian audiences were hoping Yamaha to launch XSR 155 in India, the Japanese instead launched FZ-X last year which is based on the existing FZ Fi platform and engine. The bikemaker recently launched the new MT-15 V2.0 in the country which is based on R15 V4.With demand for electric scooters on the rise, Yamaha has promised to launch EVs in India. Recently, they showcased electric scooters E01 and NEO’S to dealers. These are expected to be launched sometime next year. More

      LML Electric Scooter, Motorcycle India Debut This Year

      by

      LML Electric has joined hands with German EV brand eROCKIT in order to manufacture an E-hyperbike in IndiaImage for referenceLML announced its re-entry into the market as an electric vehicle manufacturer in September last year. The yesteryear maker of Vespa scooters in India is set to make a comeback in a reincarnated “all-electric” avatar by unveiling as many as three new electric two-wheelers later this year.These three models will include an electric hyperbike, electric scooter and an e-bike which will be revealed on 29 September 2022. The company will also unveil its new brand logo on the same day. Launches and deliveries of these products will take place from next year onwards.LML Electric electric two-wheelersLaunch of the electric Hyperbike and e-bike are set to take place in January next year whereas series production of both models is also expected to commence around the same time. Deliveries of Hyperbike and e-bike are expected to begin around February or March 2023. On the other hand, the electric scooter will start rolling out from the production line around August or September next year.All three models will cater to the premium and high-performance end of the spectrum. Apart from these upcoming electric two-wheelers, LML is also working on developing another high-performance electric motorcycle that is scheduled to make its debut in 2024. LML claims that it will be offering some class-leading features in all its products and the company has already applied for patents on some of these unique features.LML Electric trademark objectedPartnership with eROCKITIn an interaction with a newspaper, Yogesh Bhatia, CEO of LML Electric, revealed that the company has entered into a collaboration with German EV brand eROCKIT for adoption of technology. Design aspects of these upcoming battery-powered models will be taken care of by its Italian partner SPM Engineering.The joint venture between LML and eROCKIT will focus on manufacturing the electric Hyperbike which is expected to have different specifications in comparison to its German counterpart. The German-spec E-Hyperbike comes with pedal assist that can reach a top speed of up to 90kmph and can return a maximum range of 20 km on a single charge.Manufacturing detailsLML has assured that the upcoming two-wheelers will be heavily localised to suit Indian conditions. In fact, LML Electric also plans to export its vehicles and will also manufacture products for eROCKIT in India and ship them to overseas markets. While Bhatia didn’t disclose any specifics about the upcoming models, he revealed that the company will address the range anxiety issue of prospective consumers.There is a good chance that LML will adopt battery swapping technology for its products to start with. Earlier in January this year, LML Electric had announced another partnership with Saera Electric Auto where the latter’s state-of-art manufacturing facility located in Bawal, Haryana will be used for production of the brand’s upcoming electric two-wheelers.Source More
