      Yamaha 125-150cc ADV Motorcycle Spied Testing – Launch This Year?

      by

      2024 Yamaha ADV Motorcycle SpiedWhen launched in India, Yamaha ADV motorcycle would rival off-road machines like the Hero Xpulse 200 along with upcoming TVS Ronin SCRIndian motorcycle segment is witnessing a surge in demand for ADVs. The wave of adventure motorcycles is on the rise. Buyers and enthusiasts reward manufacturers when they go out of their limbs and launch a proper off-road machine instead of a pseudo ADV. That’s exactly what Yamaha seems to be doing as the first spy shots emerge on the internet.Yamaha ADV Motorcycle Spied Testing In IndiaRemember when Yamaha India Chairman, Eishin Chihana, confirmed in 2022 that an ADV was in consideration for future prospects? He specifically mentioned a displacement class of 125cc to 150cc for their upcoming ADV. Initial speculations suggested a pseudo-ADV based on FZ’s 150cc platform.Yamaha XTZ 150. Image – Daniel MunozHowever, Yamaha seems to be going full regalia on the ADV aspect and is cooking a proper off-road machine for India. Yup! A proper off-roader from Team Blue is soon to be a reality and the first set of spy shots emerge on the internet, confirming just that. Thanks to Akshay Raj and Solomon Daniel, we now have the first set of images of Yamaha’s upcoming off-roader.Looking at the pictures, our thoughts immediately went to WR 155R. However, the exhaust orientation and other finer details suggest this ain’t a WR 155R. Instead, it looks much closer to a Yamaha XTZ 150 sold in Latin markets like Colombia. The pictures also show a saree guard which is not mandated by any other nation. So, this is India-bound for sure.Yamaha ADV Motorcycle Spied – SideOff-road worthy componentryOverall aesthetics of the spied motorcycle matches with XTZ 150. But for India, Yamaha’s premium pricing strategies will require fancier componentry to justify its intended price. In that regard, we get improved braking in the form of rear disc brakes, petal rotors at both ends for better heat dissipation, a fancier master cylinder for front brakes, among others.Yamaha ADV Motorcycle Spied – Ground ClearanceWe can also see round ORVMs and round turn indicators for Indian model. Headlights look like they have LEDs in them, while indicators are halogens. These aforementioned attributes are not seen with Yamaha XTZ sold abroad.Off-road componentry include long-travel suspension at both ends (RSU telescopic at the front and mono-shock at the rear), wire-spoke wheels shod with dual-purpose tyres, up-swept exhaust, beefy swingarm, grippy footpegs for rider, a front beak, a rear luggage rack and more.Yamaha ADV Motorcycle Spied – Saree GuardWhich engine?Yamaha India Chairman, Eishin Chihana, had mentioned a displacement between 125cc and 150cc. If we take a look at Yamaha XTZ lineup, it gets a 125cc, 150cc and a 250cc variant. We would incline more towards a 150cc possibility as it falls in the displacement bracket Chihana had suggested.But there is a possibility of it being a 250cc motorcycle as well, considering the most affordable off-road motorcycle, Hero Xpulse, displaces 200cc. Hero is already testing a 210cc Xpulse, sharing the same 210cc single-cylinder DOHC 4V liquid-cooled engine with Karizma XMR 210.Yamaha ADV Motorcycle Spied – RearEngine seen on the spy shots doesn’t exactly match with any of the 150cc engines Yamaha currently offers in India. So, it would be interesting to see how this motorcycle turns out. Considering most components looked production-ready, launch could happen by the end of this year. Excited? We bet.Yamaha ADV Motorcycle Spied – FasciaSource More

      by

      Upcoming Bajaj Chetak Cheaper Variant SpiedWhen launched, this new Bajaj Chetak variant will rival the Ola S1 X+, Ather Rizta, TVS iQube, Simple Dot One and the likesBajaj Chetak is developing a Hydrogen-powered vehicle for the far future. But the company needs to up its EV game today to carve out an affordable variant to rival the likes of Ola S1 X+. That’s exactly what Bajaj is doing. A more affordable variant with a dedicated electric drive has leaked ahead of launch. Let’s take a look at what’s what.New Bajaj Chetak Variant Spied Up CloseEV onslaught in India is getting fiercer by the day. More so with electric scooters that have seen the greatest acceptance owing to their unisex appeal. Bajaj has been among the first premium electric mobility solutions providers in India with its subsidiary, Chetak Technology. With time, Bajaj has thoroughly overhauled Chetak in-keeping with 2024 trends.Affordable Bajaj Chetak VariantHowever, there is another trend that is gaining more prominence in India. Which is affordable electric scooters. Bajaj is taking a shot at this growing genre with an affordable variant of its Chetak. Ahead of launch, it has been showcased to dealers. New spy shots have leaked, which uncover most attributes expected with this upcoming vehicle.Affordable Chetak ConsoleThere seems to be new colours with this cheaper variant that are a lot more vibrant and colourful. In pictures, we can see a very bright Cyan shade that should appeal to young buyers looking to express their personality. Major hardware changes and a down-sized features list help to adhere to an affordable price point positioned below Urbane variant.Affordable Chetak SwitchgearGone are alloy wheels and disc brakes and we can see stylised steel wheels and drum brakes in their place. The fully digital TFT Instrument screen from Chetak Premium is replaced with a circular LCD unit that Chetak originally debuted with. Lockable glovebox makes way to two open cavities on this new variant.The Key slot for a smart key has been replaced with a conventional keyhole. Under seat storage looks like it is similar to current Chetak Urbane and Premium on sale. Also similar is the single-sided suspension systems at the front and back.Affordable Chetak Cubby SpaceRange, Battery and SpecsWhere powertrain is concerned, Bajaj Chetak cheaper variant seems to be powered by a mid-drive motor. This is interesting because earlier Chetak test samples were spotted with rear hub motor for cost-effectiveness. Battery is likely to be the same 2.9 kWh unit that is offered with Chetak Urbane promising a range of 113 km. Or something smaller still.For reference, top-spec Chetak Premium gets a larger 3.2 kWh battery promising a range of 126 km on a single charge. Prices for Chetak start from Rs. 1.23 lakh (ex-sh) for base Urbane and Rs. 1.47 lakh (ex-sh) for top-spec Premium variant. When launched, this new affordable Bajaj Chetak variant might cost under Rs. 1 lakh (ex-sh).Affordable Chetak StorageAlso read – Honda Electric Activa launch likely in 2025Source More

      Bajaj Pulsar 400 Spy Shots Leak – New Details Out Before Launch

      by

      Bajaj Pulsar 400 spy shots by The Fat BikerWhen launched, Bajaj Pulsar 400 new details puts it against TVS Apache RTR 310, Hero Mavrick 440, Triumph Speed 400 and KTM 390 DukeThere have been a few teasers for Bajaj’s “Biggest Ever Pulsar” launch released by the company. The launch is slated for May 3rd, 2024 and is one of the most anticipated motorcycles in India. Ahead of launch, new details of Pulsar 400 have surfaced on the internet (thanks to The Fat Biker channel), which show interesting design choices from Bajaj.Bajaj Pulsar 400 New Details RevealedIf there is a motorcycle brand in India that is hell-bent on completely overhauling one of its sub-brands, it has to be Bajaj Auto. The company is launching new Pulsars like launching missiles in a war zone. The next proper launch from Bajaj will be their flagship Pulsar. This time around, it will be launched under the Pulsar umbrella.Bajaj Pulsar 400 spy shotsOwing to Bajaj’s naming strategies in domestic and export markets, initial speculations on “Biggest Pulsar Ever” revolved around a re-branded Dominar 400 as Pulsar 400. However, recent spy images from The Fat Biker reveal first look at the upcoming Bajaj Pulsar 400.From the looks of it, these images seem to be captured at Bajaj’s storage within their manufacturing facility. We can see bubble wrap on the motorcycle’s fuel tank indicating that it might be on the verge of being transported. Probably to dealerships. We can see a new face Bajaj is going for and some bits of handlebar and engine compartment.Bajaj Pulsar 400 spy shotsHeadlight design is unique to this Pulsar 400 and is an amalgamation of Pulsar N series and the new Pulsar NS series. The bi-LED projector headlight is carried over from Pulsar N series and the lightning bolt-like elements are from Pulsar NS series. The fascia looks like it is larger than the Pulsar N series.Bajaj Pulsar 400 spy shotsAlso larger are tank shrouds that lend muscular and chiselled aesthetics typical of a street fighter. Further contributing to its macho appearance, we have beefy USD telescopic front forks finished in a lovely shade of Gold. As opposed to Pulsar N250 with its dashboard doubling as a windscreen, Pulsar 400 gets an actual windscreen. A small one at that, though. Take a look at the spy shot video below, shared by Rohit Paradkar.[embedded content]Same engine as Triumph Speed 400?Other notable attributes we could spot are LED turn indicators, conventional handlebars like Pulsar N250, handlebar risers for upright ergos, and a number plate holder below its headlight.Bajaj Pulsar 400 spy shotsAlso visible is the muscular engine cowl and what looks like a radiator shroud. This begs the question, what engine might Pulsar 400 sport? Speculations suggest either the same 373cc engine from Dominar 400 or the 398cc engine that is seen on Triumph Speed 400 and Scrambler 400X. Either way, the upcoming Pulsar 400 will be a fitting rival to other high-performance single-cylinder machines like KTM 390 Duke, Triumph Speed 400, Hero Mavrick 440, TVS Apache RTR 310, BMW G 310 R and the likes. Below are renders of the upcoming Bajaj Pulsar 400. More

It will be Kia’s most affordable SUV for India and is expected to be launched later this year. But that’s not all. Now, an EV version of Clavis has also been spotted in South Korea. It is apparent that Kia is planning a major onslaught to challenge the supremacy of Tata Punch.Kia Clavis EV – What to expect?Clavis ICE versions spotted earlier and this recent EV model are almost identical. The SUV has vertically stacked headlamps and LED DRLs, sculpted bonnet, flush-type door handles and functional roof rails. Even the alloy wheels are the same for both ICE and EV versions. However, this configuration could change with the production model. At rear, the lighting setup has the same vibes as one sees at the front. Overall, Kia Clavis has a compact, boxy profile.Kia Clavis Electric Spied – RearTo achieve a differentiation between the ICE and EV variants, Kia could introduce some minor changes at the front and rear.

These features will be available with the top-spec variants of Clavis.Kia Clavis – Casper Inspired ProfileOther key highlights of Clavis include dual, integrated screens for the infotainment and instrument cluster. This setup will be a close match to that of new Sonet and Seltos. The steering wheel seems familiar to that of Kia EV6. Kia Clavis will have dual-tone fabric upholstery. Interiors seem spacious in the spy shots, although one can get a better idea only after taking a test drive.Kia Clavis Alloy WheelKia Clavis EV – Performance, rangeDetails about the powertrain for Kia Clavis EV are yet to be revealed. However, it is possible that Clavis EV could borrow the powertrain from Hyundai Casper EV. As per estimates, Kia Clavis EV could have a range of around 320 km for the base variant.
