      Royal Enfield Classic Bobber 350 Patent Image Leaked – Reveals New Details

      by

      Royal Enfield Classic 350 Bobber Patent Image LeakedWhen launched, upcoming Royal Enfield Classic 350 Bobber will rival real Bobber motorcycles like Jawa Perak and 42 BobberIndia’s leading classic motorcycle manufacturer, Royal Enfield, is adding yet another offering to its belt. We’re talking about Classic 350 Bobber which has been spied in India on multiple occasions. Now, the design patents of Classic 350 Bobber have been leaked on the internet, revealing interesting details.Royal Enfield Classic Bobber 350 Patent Image LeakedMany OEMs aim to recreate the Royal Enfield magic in the 300cc to 500cc segment. Royal Enfield has managed to reach 75K units per month mark which is a huge achievement in price-sensitive Indian market. Company’s 350cc portfolio has done most of the heavy lifting here.Royal Enfield Classic 350 Bobber Patent Image LeakedCurrently, there are as many as four 350cc Royal Enfield motorcycles on sale in India – Classic 350, Bullet 350, Hunter 350 and Meteor 350. The upcoming entrant into Royal Enfield’s 350cc portfolio is Classic 350 Bobber. There is a probability of this motorcycle taking the name Goan Classic 350 when launched too.As seen in the patent image, there are quite a few elements that distinguish it from Classic 350 it is based on. That said, the new Bobber is not exactly successful in masking its roots either. It looks like a slight variation of Classic 350, just like Bullet 350. The effect is more profound with the upcoming Classic 350 Bobber.Royal Enfield Bobber 350 Twin SeatAs seen in the spy shots we posted before, Classic 350 Bobber gets a split-seat setup that looks like a workaround for the pillion. This pillion seat looks like it is small and uncomfortable and could be offered as an option. We have seen single-seat Classic 350 Bobber on testing too and that could be standard.The most notable design distinction over Classic 350 is the new handlebar. This is a typical bobber-style ape-hanger handlebar and should allow for a relaxed riding triangle. White walled tyres is another attribute that is a visual distinguishing factor for Classic 350 Bobber. Other than that, it looks almost identical to Classic 350.Royal Enfield Classic 350 Bobber vs Classic 350 Single seatIs the wheelbase increased?Componentry seems to be identical too. For starters, we can see the same headlights, front RSU telescopic forks, round ORVMs, same double cradle frame, identical side body panels, rear twin shock absorbers, front and rear fenders, wire-spoke wheels, disc brakes with dual channel ABS and more.The engine is going to be the same J-Series 349cc single-cylinder air-cooled SOHC 2V engine that is capable of generating 20.2 bhp of peak power and 27 Nm of peak torque. When launched, Royal Enfield Classic 350 Bobber is highly likely to be a Bobber-style motorcycle and not a real Bobber. We say this because spy shots reveal an almost identical wheelbase to Classic 350. More

      Mahindra XUV400 EV Facelift Based On XUV 3XO Incoming? New Variants Homologated

      by

      Image for illustration onlyWhen launched, Mahindra XUV400 EV facelift will continue to rival MG ZS EV and Tata Nexon EV LR and the likesNew homologation documents filed by India’s de facto SUV manufacturer, Mahindra, sparks a few interesting questions. The company is on the verge of launching a new trim lineup for its electric offering, XUV400. Currently, we only have two trim levels – EC Pro and EL Pro. These will be replaced with a newer trim hierarchy.Mahindra XUV400 EV Facelift Incoming?Mahindra has homologated a new trim hierarchy with its electric offering XUV400. Currently, XUV400’s current trim hierarchy has EC Pro and EL Pro. Mahindra is keeping the EC and EL main trim levels intact. But the Pro suffix has been dropped in favour of new characters.Mahindra XUV400 EV New Variants HomologatedIn effect, EC will get L, L(O) and LL variants, while EL will get LL(O), LH, LH(O), PH and PH(O). Mahindra XUV400 EC L is the base variant, whereas EL PH(O) seems to be top-spec variant. Dimensions remain the same as current model. Launch timeline for the new trim hierarchy is not known yet.If you have been following developments from the house of Mahindra, you must be aware of the fact that the company updated XUV400’s trim hierarchy just a few months ago. So, why change their mind regarding trim hierarchy in just three or four months? Homologations are tedious affairs.Mahindra XUV 3XO Panoramic sunroofWhy though?Mahindra is likely to be facelifting XUV400 with the recently launched XUV 3XO’s design and styling. Now, the updated trim hierarchy makes a lot of sense as the company seems to be spreading out the excessive features seen on XUV 3XO in many variants to offer varied pricing with upcoming XUV400 facelift.Will get new Interiors with soft touch materials, L2 ADAS, panoramic sunroof, and more from XUV 3XO aboveInterestingly, Mahindra is retaining XUV400 name and not replacing it with XUV 4XO as they did with XUV300. That’s because Mahindra doesn’t have XUV 4XO trademark. The new naming scheme only has odd numbers in them (XUV 5XO and XUV 7XO) and XUV400 is not one of them. Expect XUV700 facelift to be named XUV 7XO.Where design is concerned, Mahindra XUV400 facelift will be almost identical to XUV 3XO, only slightly longer and a lot more proportionate. Fascia with large LED DRLs, 17-inch wheels, rear connected LED tail lights, Level-2 ADAS, panoramic sunroof, soft-touch plastics and other recently added attributes from XUV 3XO will be carried over to XUV400 facelift.Powertrains-wise, Mahindra XUV400 facelift gets around the same 34.5 kWh and 39.4 kWh batteries as before. There seems to be a sole 150 PS electric motor. Smaller 34.5 kWh battery is sourced from LG Chem, while larger 39.4 kWh battery has two sources, one being LG Chem and the other is Farasis.Also read – Mahindra launched XUV700 Blaze Edition More

      Bajaj Pulsar 400 Vs Alternatives for Best Value – Price Tag Showdown

      by

      New Bajaj Pulsar 400At Rs. 1.85 lakh (ex-sh), Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z is aggressively priced and undercuts its immediate rivals and many lower displacement bikesIf you’re looking for the most celebrated sporty sub-brand in India from a mainstream motorcycle manufacturer, you will land on Bajaj’s Pulsar line. At Rs. 1.85 lakh (ex-sh, introductory), the “Biggest Pulsar ever” Pulsar NS400Z is insane value for money. But what else can you get for Rs. 1.85 lakh (ex-sh) from other rival brands in India? Let’s take a look.Pulsar NS400Z Pricing – Very Competitive!Bajaj is known for aggressive price strategies. Recently launched Pulsar NS400Z is no different. At Rs. 1.85 lakh, it is a shiny example of aggressive pricing. Best thing about NS400Z’s pricing is that there are no variants and all bells and whistles are standard. We looked at what rival brands are offering at NS400Z’s price point. Results will shock you.TVS Apache RTR 310 ReviewFrom TVSPulsar NS400Z’s immediate rival from TVS is Apache RTR 310. However, TVS has priced it from Rs. 2.43 lakh (ex-sh) for the base variant, which is Rs. 58,000 more than Pulsar NS400Z. When compared to NS400Z, RTR 310 is 11% less powerful, 18% less torquey and is 5kg lighter in weight.TVS has jam-packed Apache RTR 310 with gizmos, electronics and features. But most of them are bundled with optional BTO packs and the base Rs. 2.43 lakh (ex-sh) variant miss out on almost all of them. If you want all the gizmos, the optional Dynamic Pro Kit BTO pack and fancy colours, Apache RTR 310 is easily Rs. 1 lakh+ more expensive than Pulsar NS 400Z.Honda CB300FFrom HondaUnlike TVS with a significant price gap, Honda has CB300F which is close to Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z’s pricing. Honda also has CB300R priced at Rs. 2.4 lakh (ex-sh), but CB300F is closer in price to NS400Z at Rs. 1.7 lakh (ex-sh). When compared to Pulsar NS400Z, Honda CB300F is 39% less powerful, 27% less torquey and is only oil-cooled. But it is 21 kg lighter and costs Rs. 15,000 less.Hero Karizma XMR 210 ReviewFrom HeroWorld’s largest 2W manufacturer has launched its flagship Mavrick 440 starting at Rs. 2 lakh (ex-sh) and is comparable to Pulsar NS400Z price-wise. However, Hero’s Karizma XMR is closer in cost at Rs. 1.8 lakh (ex-sh). Karizma gets a full fairing and is 36% less powerful, 42% less torquey, around 10 kg lighter and costs Rs. 5,000 less than NS400Z.Suzuki Gixxer 250From SuzukiBajaj Pulsar NS400Z rival from the house of Suzuki is Gixxer 250. It is considered to be one of the most underrated motorcycles in India. But priced at Rs. 1.84 lakh (ex-sh), it costs just as much as the recently launched Pulsar NS400Z, but has around 37% less power, 36% less torque, 18 kg less kerb weight and a lot less equipment.New Yamaha R15From YamahaTeam Blue offers YZF-R15 as its flagship single-cylinder offering in India. Priced between Rs. 1.83 lakh and Rs. 1.99 lakh (ex-sh), R15 has a lot of emotional draw in India for its looks. But spec to spec, Yamama R15 is 54% less powerful, around 60% less torquey and weighs 33 kg less than Pulsar NS400Z.KTM Duke 125From KTMTeam Orange is perceived as a premium offering. Cost-wise, KTM is priced at a premium too. The closest priced offering from KTM to a Pulsar NS400Z is surprisingly 125 Duke with a dinky little 124cc engine priced at Rs. 1.79 lakh (ex-sh). It is 64% less powerful and 66% less torquey than Pulsar NS400Z. At 159 kg, KTM 125 Duke is only 15 kg lighter than Pulsar NS400Z. Despite being a naked 125cc bike, 125 Duke is heavier than a fully-faired R15. More

      Kia EV3 Compact Electric SUV Teased Ahead Of Global Debut

      by

      Kia EV3 Compact Electric SUV – Concept Vs Production Model TeasersWhere dimensions are concerned, Kia EV3 compact electric SUV might be positioned between Sonet and Seltos at around 4.2m lengthWith ambitions to be recognised among the leading electric car manufacturers of the world, Hyundai and Kia have been pushing the envelope for some time now. The duo’s efforts reflect in their born electric portfolio. Newest of the bunch is Kia EV3 which is set to be globally unveiled on May 23rd, 2024. Ahead of that, Kia has officially released teasers to give a glimpse of its upcoming eSUV. Kia EV3 Compact Electric SUV TeasedNot so long ago, Kia officially revealed EV3 and EV4 concepts. While EV3 is an electric SUV, EV4 takes a different route and is a crossover electric sedan-style vehicle. Production-spec EV3 has been teased by Kia for the first time. EV3 is highly likely to make its way to our shores. When launched, it will be positioned below Kia EV6 in brand’s electric portfolio.Kia EV3 TeasersThe EV3’s exterior design is showcased in the teaser images, highlighting its bold, geometric, and robust aspects. The vehicle’s dynamic styling is also emphasized in these images. Kia EV3 boasts boxy rear fenders, tailgate, and signature Star Map lighting contributing to a unique identity.Comparing to the Kia EV3 concept, we can see slightly redesigned LED headlights and DRLs at the front. However, rear seems to have been carried over as they were in the concept. The sculpted body adheres to Kia’s trademark ‘Opposites United’ design philosophy. The same design language can be seen in other Kia cars including their flagship EV9.Kia EV3 TeasersIncorporating innovative technologies, Kia aims to broaden its EV range to include affordable options for the masses and that is where EV3 seems to blend in. Kia has promised a comprehensive range of equipment with EV3. On the inside, we can expect eco-conscious attributes and a similar minimal design theme as EV6.What to expect from Kia EV3?A lot is riding on Kia EV3’s success. Kia aims to deliver an elevated customer experience derived from its flagship models into compact SUV segment where EV3 will fall. Considering that Kia is calling EV3 a ‘compact SUV’, we expect it to be slightly larger than Sonet and slightly smaller than Seltos at around 4.2m length. Think Mahindra XUV400.Kia EV3 TeasersAt this size quotient, we can expect relatively affordable pricing. This way, EV3 is set to accelerate faster transition to EVs and play a crucial role in expanding company’s reputation as an electric car manufacturer for the masses.Kia EV6 will be launched later this year and is expected to go on sale immediately. World premiere is later this month on May 23rd, 2024. We can expect around 150 bhp motor drawing power from a 40 kWh to 45 kWh battery pack promising around 400 km to 500 km range on a single charge.New Kia EV3 Concept New Kia EV3 Concept More
