    Upcoming Royal Enfield Motorcycles 2023 – New Bullet, Himalayan, 650 Classic

    Off all the upcoming Royal Enfield bikes mentioned above, Scram 650 is the only one that is not yet papped in IndiaUpcoming Royal Enfield Motorcycles – 650cc CruiserRoyal Enfield has come from strength to strength when it comes to sales. In September 2022, it absolutely dominated the 350cc and 500cc+ segments with very little of the pie left for rivals. Success like this, is always a scope to expand their portfolio to include new motorcycles across multiple segments. Let’s take a look at the known upcoming Royal Enfield Bikes.1. Bullet 350Most of Royal Enfield’s success is based on the foundation that is laid by Bullet 350. Being the OG of Royal Enfield’s endeavours in India, it is a name that doesn’t need an introduction. In fact, Bullet 350 name is more recognisable than its maker’s. Such is its fame. Bullet 350 will get a new J-Series engine, bringing it in line with other 350cc bikes in Royal Enfield stables.2023 Royal Enfield Bullet 350 Render2. Scram 450Like Scram 411 is based on Himalayan, Scram 450 (rumoured) will be based on the new 450cc platform being cooked at Royal Enfield labs. This new platform is likely to spawn a host of other motorcycles if well received. In terms of tech, this will be better than 411cc platform and will supposedly feature a 6-speed gearbox and liquid cooling among others.3. Himalayan 450Just like Scram 450, Himalayan 450 will also be based on Royal Enfield’s upcoming 450cc platform. Unlike Scram 450, Himalayan 450 is papped with USD forks and other niceties. In terms of hierarchy, Himalayan 450 will sit above Scram 450. It is not yet known if Himalayan 450 will replace Himalayan 411. But it is prepping to rival Hero’s upcoming XPulse rumoured with a 400cc+ engine.2023 Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 – Render4. Continental GT-R 650Continental GT 650 is currently Royal Enfield’s sportiest and arguably, prettiest motorcycle as well. With the Cafe Racer charm, it is a very desirable motorcycle for many. To make it more sportier, Royal Enfield is likely to offer a bikini fairing to this bike inspired by the Continental GT Cup bike. This might be in the form of an official accessory or a separate model in itself.5. Continental GT 650 FaceliftFor everyone that still wants a Continental GT 650 without a fairing, fret not. Royal Enfield is preparing a facelift for this Cafe Racer. This facelift will feature a new circular taillight and most-requested alloy wheels with tubeless tyres. This will increase convenience and reduce the old-world charm that spoke wheels offer. Hey, you get some, you lose some. Balance!6. Super Meteor 650 / Classic 650This bike inherits the spirit of the company’s Thunderbird just like Meteor does. With this offering, Royal Enfield will take Meteor’s long-leggedness and offer mile-munching ability of its 650cc platform. Automotive fraternity is calling it Super Meteor as it is a Meteor, but super. There was a leak of Thunderbird X 650 name from Royal Enfield’s service booking webpage suggesting the name of its production model. Classic 650 is also likely.Royal Enfield Classic 650cc7. Shotgun 650Another 650cc offering from Royal Enfield, Shotgun 650 is the production version of SG650 concept from the British brand. Even though the production version is not as eyeball-magnet as its concept, it is utterly pretty. This is likely to be a bobber version of Super Meteor 650 / Thunderbird X 650 with different ergonomics.8. Scram 650Off all the upcoming Royal Enfield bikes mentioned above, Scram 650 is the only one that is not yet papped in India. It was spied on in the UK. Unique to Scram 650, we have a brand-new header pipe that routes exhaust gases through a single exhaust. This gets a scrambler-ish design language with minimal body panels. Name is not yet official. One can expect Scram 650 to be the lightest of Royal Enfield’s 650cc stablemates owing to its single exhaust. More

    New Ather 450X Electric Scooter With More Power Leaks – Is It Gen 4?

    Gen 3 made 6.2 kW of peak power in Warp Mode, Gen 4 Ather 450X is rated to make 6.4 kW of peak power in Warp ModeAther Electric ScooterIf you thought that Gen 3 Ather 450X marked the height of Bengaluru-based company’s R&D department for some time, you’re in for a surprise. We have come across an NCT type approval for a new 450X. This shows Ather’s relentless approach toward pushing out new electric scooters.This new document shows 450X as the base model even though that is less likely as 450 Plus is their base model. There are two settings, which indicate Gen 4 Ather 450 Plus will be launched alongside Gen 4 Ather 450X. Let’s take a look at all the changes.Gen 4 Ather 450X Homologated?Gen 4 battery capacity is still 3.66 kWh (Nickel Cobalt based). Which was up from 2.6 kWh of 450X Gen 2. Ather seems to have incorporated beefed-up cooling systems over the Gen 3 model. A beefier casing is also a possibility. We say this because Gen 3 battery pack used to weigh 19 kg in total, while Gen 4 battery pack weighs 22 kg.Even though the battery chemistry or cells seems to be the same, Gen 4 Ather 450X will come with more oomph. How much more oomph? One might ask. Gen 3 made 6.2 kW of peak power in Warp Mode, Gen 4 is rated to make 6.4 kW of peak power in Warp Mode. Sport Mode makes 5.8 kW, Ride Mode is rated at 3.2 kW, Smart Eco Mode is rated at 2.3 kW and Eco Mode is rated at 1.9 kW in terms of peak power.Gen 4 Ather 450X HomologatedThere is a “Setting 2” that is mentioned in the document which is likely to be Gen 4 Ather 450 Plus. This doesn’t get Warp Mode and the power figures for the rest of the modes are similar to “Setting 1” which is Gen 4 Ather 450X. Continuous power is now 3.1 kW in Warp Mode, down from 3.3 kW. Range for Setting 1 is 146 km and 108 km for Setting 2 which are largely similar to gen 3 products.Dimension ChangesAther is reportedly working on a new affordable model to rival Ola S1. It will have a smaller battery and fewer features. This new development is unlikely to be the aforementioned affordable model. Ather calls this 450X which is the company’s top-spec vehicle till now. This is likely to be a generational change like we saw with Gen 3. Just too early in the life cycle.Gen 3 had zilch changes to its dimensions over Gen 2. That is not the case with Gen 4 Ather 450X. Length is similar at 1,837 mm. Width is now 739 mm over 734 mm in Gen 3. Overall height is now 1,114 mm, down from 1,250 mm of previous generation. With Gen 4 Ather 450X, wheelbase has gone up by 1 mm.Looking at these changes, Ather could have gone for 10” wheels instead of 12”. Or this new 450X could very well offer a sporty and committed posture too, owing to its revised height. Whatever it is, that is cooking at Ather’s labs, will break cover in the coming months. This upcoming electric scooter will rival Ola S1 Pro, Hero Vida V1 Pro, Bajaj Chetak, TVS iQube and the likes. More

    TVS Raider 125 To Get 5 Inch TFT Screen, Navigation – New Features

    Updated Raider 125 will retain the same 125cc engine with a 3V head, silent starter and oil-coolingNew TVS RaiderRaider 125 is a unique proposition when it comes to 125cc commuters. In the sea of boring-looking commuters, TVS has launched its Raider 125 and has created quite a niche for itself by offering a modern look. It is decently sized, decently proportioned and comes off as a well-rounded package.When we compared TVS Raider 125 with Keeway SR125 and Bajaj Pulsar NS125, the former comes off as the most balanced product. With segment-first features like a fully-digital instrument cluster, LED headlight and taillights, and unique DRLs to name a few. Rivals in this cut-throat segment are less forgiving and Hero MotoCorp came up with Passion XTEC with connectivity features as well.Now, the Hosur-based company is set to pull an ace through its sleeves and has teased a large display for updated Raider 125. TVS had promised an updated Raider 125 with a 5” colour TFT screen. Dubbed “The Wicked Update” for Raider 125, TVS has a couple of options to execute this feat. Let’s take a look.Updated Raider 125 To Feature 5” Colour TFT ScreenTVS has a 5” colour display that is equipped with base model of iQube electric scooter. Mid-spec S variant of iQube got a 7” colour TFT display with a D-pad to interact with it. Raider is likely to get the 5” colour TFT screen from Base-spec iQube electric scooter. To control and operate this screen, TVS might provide the D-pad from S trim iQube electric scooter.Upcoming Updated Raider 125Raider 125 already got a reverse LCD display with features like side stand indication, DTE, gear position indication, average speed recorder, dual trip meters, top speed recorder, and ride modes indication (Eco and Power). Updated Raider 125 is likely to get TVS’ Smart Xonnect Bluetooth connectivity that enables navigation and voice assistance, as teased by TVS themselves.Currently, TVS Raider prices start from Rs. 90K for drum brake variant and Rs. 95K for disc brake variant. Another way to look at this would be that a 5” single-unit colour TFT display is unheard of in a sub Rs. 1 lakh 125cc commuter. We have seen much more expensive products that get outdated instrument consoles.Specs & PricingUpdated Raider 125 will retain the outgoing model’s 125cc single-cylinder engine. This engine gets segment-first features like a 3V head, silent starter and oil cooling, even though it is not readily visible. It is capable of making 11.22 bhp at 7,500 RPM and 11.2 Nm of peak torque at 6,000 RPM. It gets mated to a 5-speed gearbox.Pricing might cross the Rs. 1 lakh mark and even go to Rs. 1.05 lakh with updated Raider 125. With features like turn-by-turn navigation, music controls, calls alerts and notifications, updated Raider 125 comes off as a more appealing product than Passion XTEC by Hero MotoCorp. Launch will happen on 19th October in a virtual event called Motoverse. More
