    TVS iQube 3.1 Launch Price Rs 1.1 Lakh – Ola S1, Ather Rizta, Chetak Rival

    TVS iQube 3.1 LaunchNow that Ola Electric has been dethroned, the electric scooter segment in India is controlled by TVS iQube and Bajaj Chetak lineup. Both brands face a stark rivalry and are continuously trying to one-up each other in terms of sales and volumes. Now that Bajaj has launched Chetak 3001, TVS has countered it with the launch of iQube 3.1.
    While both vehicles do not compete directly in terms of pricing, they fall in the same bracket with respect to battery capacity. Sticking with iQube 3.1, TVS has positioned it above the base iQube 2.2 and below iQube 3.5. Let’s take a closer look at what it brings to the table.
    TVS iQube 3.1 Launch Price
    After updating the iQube S and iQube ST lineup to MY25 version, TVS Motor has turned its gaze towards the base iQube lineup. The company is expanding the iQube lineup to add a new variant slotted in between the base iQube 2.2 and iQube 3.5. As the numbers in their names suggest, new iQube 3.1 is powered by a 3.1 kWh battery pack.
    TVS iQube 3.1 Launch
    This is the first time TVS has added a 3.1 kWh variant to any of its iQube lineups (iQube, iQube S, iQube ST). TVS iQube 3.1 launch price is Rs 1.1 lakh (Effective Ex-sh, Bengaluru), positioned below iQube 3.5 that costs Rs 1.23 lakh (Effective Ex-sh, Bengaluru) and above iQube 2.2 that costs Rs 1.01 lakh (Effective Ex-sh, Bengaluru).
    iQube 3.1 is launched in a total of five colour options, three of which are mono tone and two are dual tone. These include Grey, Copper, White, Blue/Beige and Brown/Beige. Notable components include alloy wheels with dual-tone finish, front disc brakes, TFT digital instrument cluster, a rear pillion backrest and others.
    New 3.1 kWh Battery
    The main highlight is its new 3.1 kWh battery pack that promises 121 km of IDC-certified range. This battery pack takes 4 hours and 30 minutes to go from 0% to 80% SOC, which is interestingly the same time as iQube 3.5 to reach from 0% to 80% SOC, despite having a larger 3.5 kWh battery pack.
    TVS iQube 3.1 32L Boot
    It gets the same hub-mounted motor with 82 km/h top speed and it weighs in at 116.8 kg, slightly heavier than iQube 2.2. It continues to get the same styling, same practical floorboard, LED lighting all around and a large 31L under-seat storage solution. More

    KTM 390 Adventure X+ Reach Showrooms Before Launch – More Features

    KTM 390 Adventure X+ Reach Showrooms
    Capitalising on the country’s rush for ADV motorcycles, KTM is expanding its 390 Adventure lineup to include a new variant. This variant is based on 390 Adventure X, but gets more features and technology. Ahead of a formal launch, units have started to arrive at showrooms, giving us a glimpse as to what we can expect.
    KTM 390 Adventure X+
    While the speculations suggest that this new variant of KTM 390 Adventure X will be called 390 Adventure X+, the company has not confirmed this new name. Also, the units which have arrived at the dealerships do not show any Plus or + suffix beside the 390 Adventure X name, which is likely to be what it will be called.
    What this new variant brings, is an upgrade in features which are not present on current 390 Adventure X. These particular units were spotted in a KTM dealership in Pune city in Maharashtra. Even the colourways look like they’re identical to 390 Adventure X currently on sale in India.
    KTM 390 Adventure X+ Reach Showrooms
    Launch is expected to happen in the coming days or coming weeks and there might be a bump in price, when compared to the model currently on offer. That’s understandable as the new variant brings a host of new features which enthusiasts would love to have on their adventure tourer motorcycle.
    These features are courtesy of a more advanced IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) unlocking cornering ABS along with cornering traction control that is switchable as well. The other feature added is cruise control, which is appreciated by the tourers looking to buy this motorcycle. Switchgear is now improved and gets a similar unit as the more expensive 390 Adventure.
    Any other changes?
    The main ethos with 390 Adventure X was to carve out a more touring friendly setup of this platform. In that regard, it gets 19-inch front and 17-inch rear alloy wheel setup with tubeless tyres unlike the 390 Adventure which gets 21-inch front and 17-inch wire-spoke wheels that are more apt for off-roading.
    KTM 390 Adventure X+ Reach Showrooms
    Powertrain remains the same 398.63cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled DOHC 4V/cyl engine that is capable of delivering 45.3 bhp of peak power and 39 Nm of peak torque, mated to a slipper clutch, electronic throttle (ride-by-wire), a bi-directional quick-shifter and a 6-speed gearbox.
