    Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 Peix Bronze Colour Launch Price Rs 2.49 L

    Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 New Peix Bronze ColourExpanding the colour palette of Guerrilla 450, Royal Enfield has just introduced Peix Bronze colourway with the mid-spec Dash variant. The company has not increased prices of Dash variant with this new colour, maintaining the Rs 2.49 lakh (Ex-sh) price tag. Let’s take a look at the new colour.
    Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 Peix Bronze
    The premium single-cylinder motorcycle segment is getting overtly popular in the recent past. With more buyers foraying into this segment, there is a rush among OEMs to launch the best products here. Among these OEMs is Royal Enfield, which is launching a new Peix Bronze colour for Guerrilla 450’s mid-spec Dash variant.
    Guerrilla 450 Peix Bronze and Smoke Silver
    Royal Enfield first showcased Peix Bronze shade on Guerrilla 450 at 2024 Motoverse show in Goa and is launched today. Along with the launch of Peix Bronze shade, Royal Enfield is offering Smoke Silver colourway with Dash variant. This colourway used to be exclusive to base Analogue variant, which is now also part of Dash variant, based on customer demands.
    Where design is concerned, Guerrilla 450 is a lot more appealing to look at, when compared to Himalayan 450. Owing to its roadster design, it is aimed to appeal a wider audience base, which doesn’t seem to be the case as reflected by sales charts. Royal Enfield sold just 349 of Guerrilla 450 last month and the new colours are expected to boost sales.
    Guerrilla 450 New Peix Bronze
    Round LED headlights, round Tripper Dash (on mid and top variants), round ORVMs, LED tail lights integrated into the turn indicators, classic fuel tank design, fork gaiters, a clean tail section flaunting the fat 160-section tyre, swanky alloy wheels, soothing body panels, blackened engine bay, stubby exhaust finished in silver, stylish dual tone colours are notable elements.
    Engine Specs
    Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450 shares the same 452cc DOHC 4V liquid-cooled Sherpa 450 engine as its ADV sibling, Himalayan 450. Because it has shed some weight, the 40 bhp and 40 Nm metrics offer brisker performance when compared to Himalayan 450. Better acceleration, braking and higher top speed are evident.
    New Peix Bronze Colour
    Componentry-wise, Guerrilla 450 offers RSU telescopic front forks, a rear mono-shock suspension unit, fat 160-section rear tyre and disc brakes at both ends with dual channel ABS are notable. Features include ride-by-wire throttle, a slipper clutch, a 6-speed gearbox, Google Maps, music control and others. More

    4 New Maruti EVs Confirmed To Launch In India – Starting With eVitara

    Maruti Future S Concept at 2018 Auto Expo.Maruti Suzuki has revealed a multi-pronged approach to regain the 50% market share in the Indian automotive space. In this journey, electric cars will also play a significant role. The company has realised this and has confirmed four new electric cars to launch in India, starting with the eVitara electric SUV, which will launch soon.
    4 New Maruti EVs Confirmed
    Maruti Suzuki has always been known for their budget and affordable lightweight hatchbacks. However, the company has taken great strides in UV segment (Utility Vehicles). Now, the focus has been expanded to incorporate electric cars into the mix, which is expected to provide the boost for Maruti Suzuki to regain its 50% market share aim.
    The company will launch its maiden electric vehicle, eVitara, soon in many major markets like Europe, Japan and even India. With the eVitara, Maruti Suzuki will open its electric vehicle innings in India, which will be followed by three more EV launches in the future, by the end of the year 2030.
    Maruti Suzuki eVitara India Debut
    eVitara will be followed by an electric version of Fronx, which will be positioned below eVitara. Fronx electric will advance Maruti Suzuki’s and Suzuki Global’s push towards electric mobility, considering Fronx is an already well-established global offering. It will also introduce Maruti Suzuki in the sub 4m electric SUV segment too, where Tata and Mahindra have prominent presence.
    What to expect?
    After the eVitara and Fronx electric, there is less clarity about Maruti Suzuki’s electric car onslaught. We can probably expect an electric version of Ertiga, considering it is India’s best-selling MPV and is an untapped segment. This vehicle might become popular by fleet operators too, a segment BYD has banked on.
    We can expect a small electric car from Maruti Suzuki as well, considering the brand’s unwavering commitment and dominance in the A Segment. Something that could take on Tata’s Punch EV. However, possibility of this happening is quite low, considering the top-down approach Maruti is likely to implement with its electric portfolio.
    Maruti Suzuki eVitara Interiors
    So, this leaves us with a larger electric SUV that will probably rival Tata Harrier EV and Mahindra XEV 9e, which is more probable to become a reality. As revealed by the company’s plans, Maruti Suzuki will launch these four electric cars by the end of calendar year 2030.

    Royal Enfield Scram 440 Vs Harley X440 – Specs, Features Compared

    Scram 440 Vs Harley X440With Himalayan 450 replacing the Himalayan 411, this 411cc LS engine was limited to Scram 411, which is now updated to displace 440cc and gets a 6-speed gearbox. Royal Enfield has invested in updating this powertrain which only one motorcycle has benefited from, which is unlike RE’s strategies in the recent past.
    Royal Enfield is offering the LS engine with its torquey nature, while the new Sherpa 450 engine offers thrilling performance. Also, Scram 440 is now a more fitting rival to other 440cc motorcycles in the premium motorcycle segment from legacy brands like Harley-Davidson X440. Let’s take a look at how these motorcycles fare against each other.
    New Royal Enfield Scram 440
    Scram 440 Vs Harley X440
    Starting with price, Royal Enfield has priced the Scram 440 from Rs 2.08 lakh (Ex-sh) for Trail variant and Rs 2.15 lakh (Ex-sh) for Force variant. In contrast, Harley-Davidson has priced X440 from Rs 2.39 lakh (Ex-sh) for base Denim variant and goes till Rs 2.79 lakh (Ex-sh) for S variant. X440 offers quite a lot more even from the base variant, while some of the notable features of Scram 440 are optional extras.
    Powertrains-wise, both motorcycles get a single-cylinder SOHC oil-cooled engine, mated to a 6-speed gearbox. Both engines are of long-stroke type, prioritising low-end torque for ease of ride. X440 is more powerful and more torquey and develops its peak power at lower RPMs when compared to that of Scram 440.
    Scram 440 Vs Harley X440 – Specs & Features Compared
    Where design is concerned, Scram 440 is a Scrambler-style motorcycle as the name suggests. X440, on the other hand, is a Roadster style bike. Scram 440 has more off-road prowess with higher ground clearance, larger 19-inch front wheel and higher suspension travel. X440 has 18-inch front wheel, which is only one inch smaller than that of Scram’s. Royal Enfield is offering 1,460 mm wheelbase with Scram 440, making it a more relaxed off-roader.
    Specs & Features Compared
    Both motorcycles offer wire-spoke wheels with tube-type tyres in their lower variants. Notably, Scram 440 gets skinny 120-section rear tyres and X440 offers 140-section tyres. Scram 440 has a larger fuel tank at 15L, which is 1.5L more than X440’s. With a kerb weight of 196 kg, Scram 440 is also heavier, whereas X440 tips the scale at 190.5 kg.
    Harley-Davidson X440
    The lower weight and higher performance metrics give Harley-Davidson X440 the advantage in power-to-weight ratio. Also, the X440 platform is surprisingly agile and responds well to corners and feels very light on its feet, masking its 190.5 kg kerb weight quite beautifully. The main contributor in this regard might be the USD front forks X440 offers as standard, while Scram 440 doesn’t, even as an option. X440 gets twin shock absorbers at the rear.
    Royal Enfield’s Tripper Screen with Google Maps is an optional add-on, and a semi-digital instrument cluster is offered as standard. In contrast, X440 offers a 3.5-inch colour TFT instrument cluster as standard, while the top-spec S trim offers Bluetooth connection with navigation support and music controls. Lighting is all LED with X440, whereas turn indicators are still Halogen units on Scram 440. Both motorcycles offer disc brakes at both ends with dual channel ABS. More

    Honda SCR125 Scooter Patented In India – Smaller Than Activa, Dio

    Honda SCR125 Scooter Patented In India
    India’s leading scooter manufacturer, Honda, seems to be interested in expanding its scooter portfolio. We say this because the company has just patented Honda SCR125 scooter in India and might have launch intentions. This is a smaller scooter that will slot below Activa and Dio, if it is launched in India. Let’s take a look.
    Honda SCR125 Scooter Patented
    Being the largest scooter manufacturer in India, Honda has found great success from Activa and Dio. Primarily Activa. However, the company has not found any success with scooters below the Activa and Dio. We’ve had Navi scooter X Motorcycle which didn’t appeal to buyers and we had CliQ, which didn’t click.
    Honda SCR125 Scooter Patented In India
    Now, Honda has patented SCR125 Xisha scooter in India, which could launch as a smaller scooter below Activa and Dio. Honda Scooter and Motorcycles India (HMSI) has not officially confirmed whether it will launch SCR125 Xisha or not. Also, there is a good probability of this patent just being an IP protection exercise, just like the Honda CG 160.
    Honda SCR125 Xisha
    Where design is concerned, Honda SCR125 Xisha is a conventional and practical step-through scooter for families. It has apron-mounted halogen headlight and handlebar-mounted turn indicators. Rear design is conventional too as it has a halogen tail light and halogen turn indicators at both ends.
    Honda SCR125 Xisha
    Specs & Features
    For practicality, Honda is offering two open glove boxes behind the apron along with a hook. There’s a USB charging port beside a conventional keyhole, a solid stainless steel rear shelf, a single-piece comfortable seat, spacious floorboard, alloy wheels, disc brake setup at the front and a parking brake.
    Honda SCR125 Xisha
    Instrument cluster is simple and is of analogue type completely. Fuel tank has 6L capacity, minimum ground clearance is 110 mm, wheelbase is 1,245 mm and the kerb weight is 103 kg. Honda SCR125 Xisha is powered by a 125cc engine that is rated at 8.85 bhp of peak power and an 88 km/h top speed.

    Yamaha recently showcased the FZ-S V4.0 Hybrid at Auto Expo 2025 which also gets an updated instrument cluster with a TFT screen, Bluetooth connectivity and navigation features.

Effect of which, will be reflected in the sales chart of February 2025 month. The company has also patented 2025 R3 with the latest design language, which might launch by 2025 end and replace current model. More
