      2025 Bajaj Pulsar N125 Spied In Detail – New Features Onboard

      by

      2025 Bajaj Pulsar N125 SpiedWhen launched, Bajaj Pulsar N125 spied, will rival sporty 125cc commuter bikes like Hero Xtreme 125R and TVS Raider 125Revolutionizing Indian sporty affordable motorcycle segment, Bajaj Pulsar line has dwelled into the hearts of millions. Bajaj already sells a multitude of Pulsars across multiple displacements and body styles. There is a new Pulsar in the works that should carry a 125cc engine and might launch around the festive season. Let’s take a look.Bajaj Pulsar N125 Spied AgainIf we take Bajaj’s sales performance, Pulsar is the best-selling model, sidelining other sub brands. But if we break the sales in terms of displacement, it is the 125cc Pulsars that outsell every other type of Bajaj offerings. Bajaj is now coming up with a new 125cc Pulsar that should push sales envelope even further.Bajaj Pulsar N125 Spied AgainCurrently, Bajaj sells Pulsar 125 and Pulsar NS125. The range will see a new addition with what is believed to be a Bajaj Pulsar N125. Spotted testing on multiple occasions, Bajaj Pulsar N125 will be the most sporty 125cc Pulsar from Bajaj and is expected to weigh a lot less than the 144kg Pulsar NS125.Latest test mule sighting from The Fat Biker, show more details about this upcoming vehicle. For starters, it looks a lot more aggressive in its design which should pit it directly against Hero Xtreme 125R and TVS Raider 125.[embedded content]We can see accentuated tank shrouds for aggression, there seems to be front fork covers for a muscular appeal, there is stacked LED headlight setup, Pulsar-style split LED tail light setup, split seat design with a stepped pillion seat, tyre hugger, stylish single-piece grab rail, front disc brake, same alloy wheels as Pulsar P150 and other elements.Indicators are still halogen bulbs with the upcoming Bajaj Pulsar N125, while Hero is offering LED ones in Xtreme 125R. Bajaj aims to further consolidate its position in the 125cc segment with a sporty offering that looks imposing and from a segment above. In that regard, the new Bajaj Pulsar N125 certainly delivers.Bajaj Pulsar N125 Spied AgainSame engine as NS125?Where powertrains are concerned, there is a good probability that Bajaj might implement the same 11bhp and 11.8 Nm 124.45cc air-cooled single-cylinder engine as Pulsar NS125. Or, there might be a new engine derived from N150’s unit with slightly higher numbers. We can see an underbelly exhaust with Pulsar N125 and a 5-speed gearbox will do duties.Features-wise, Bajaj Pulsar N125 will get a reverse LCD fully digital instrument cluster with Bluetooth connectivity. There is a good probability that turn-by-turn navigation will be on offer considering its arch rival, TVS Raider offers a 5-inch colour TFT screen with a lot more features.Also read – Bajaj Freedom 125 CNG delivery starts More

      Royal Enfield Himalayan 650 Spied – Dual Disc In Front, USD Forks

      by

      Royal Enfield Himalayan 650 Dual Disc SpiedFor the first time ever, a Royal Enfield motorcycle is getting adjustable suspension and front dual-disc brake setup among othersIndian motorcycling enthusiasts are in for a treat as Royal Enfield is coming up with a new 650cc motorcycle. No. We’re not talking about the Bullet 650 and Classic 650 or even the Scram 650 (Interceptor Bear 650). This is a lot more exciting. Say Namaste to the first ever Royal Enfield Himalayan 650 spy shots.Royal Enfield Himalayan 650 SpiedAfter multiple rumours, speculations and featuring in a few official internal presentations, Royal Enfield has finally commenced the testing of Himalayan 650. This is the first time, Royal Enfield is creating a truly premium offering and when launched, it will be positioned as the company’s flagship.Royal Enfield Himalayan 650 SpiedThe test mule in question, was completely camouflaged. But the design attributes that it brings to the table easily position it as a Royal Enfield. The same 648cc parallel-twin mill from other RE 650 motorcycles can be seen on this bike too. There is a single exhaust setup, which is of an up-swept design for better water wading.Seating layout is of split-type design with front seat scooped out for comfort and convenience while pillion seat is stepped. There are braces on the rear subframe that end into a rear luggage rack. Just like Himalayan 450, tail lights are integrated into its turn indicators. There are new ORVMs for better visibility too.Royal Enfield Himalayan 650 SpiedUnlike Himalayan 450, upcoming Himalayan 650 has a semi fairing that makes it more of a tourer than an adventure off-roader. The first motorcycle that this test mule reminded me of, was Benelli TNT 600 GT. This bikini fairing engulfs the fuel tank in a soothing manner. We hope the fuel tank is 20L+ for maximum range on a single tank.We can see a circular instrument cluster that looks like it is fully digital TFT unit. The angle of this screen was facing rider, which is better for touring as it falls in rider’s peripheral vision. This could very well be the same Tripper Dash we saw with Himalayan 450 and just launched Guerrilla 450. So, Google Maps, music control and other telemetry features will be present.Royal shares launch plans of 13 new motorcyclesSpecs and PriceFor the first time ever, Royal Enfield is testing dual disc setup at the front on any of its motorcycles. These are dual petal-type rotors. Owing to its touring bias, Royal Enfield Himalayan 650 spied, doesn’t get 21-inch front wheels, although they’re still wire-spoke type compatible with tubeless tyres.This is the first Royal Enfield ever to get adjustable suspension. We can see adjusters for front USD telescopic forks. This is also the first Royal Enfield 650cc offering to get a mono-shock rear suspension. Powertrain-wise, it will carry over the same 648cc parallel twin oil-cooled motor. We expect it to make slightly more power at around 50 bhp and 60 Nm of torque, mated to a 6-speed gearbox.Royal Enfield New Himalayan 450Owing to the premium componentry, design, appearances and other elements, Royal Enfield Himalayan 650 will comfortably cost around the Rs 4 lakh mark. When launched, it will be the most affordable middle-weight ADV rivaling Kawasaki Versys 650, Benelli TRK 502 and the likes.Source More

      Mahindra XUV700 EV Coupe Interiors Spied – Dashboard, Sunroof, Seats, Steering

      by

      Mahindra XUV700 EV CoupeUpcoming Mahindra XUV700 EV Coupe (XUV.e9) is likely to pack 80 kWh battery powering up to two electric motors with 200 km/h top speedTesting for Mahindra’s INGLO platform based vehicles is going in full swing. We have managed to get our hands on spy shots of XUV.e8, XUV.e9 and BE.05 electric SUV engineering test mules across the country. The latest spy shots show the interiors of Mahindra XUV700 EV Coupe (XUV.e9) in full detail. Let’s take a look.Mahindra XUV700 EV CoupeWith electric vehicles taking more prominence than they ever did, more OEMs are taking the electric route. Mahindra is no exception and sells XUV400 in India. However, the company is on the verge of launching its INGLO platform-based born electric vehicles that will play a major role in Mahindra’s global expansion strategies.Mahindra XUV700 EV CoupeIn the recent past, we posted XUV.e9’s interiors while it was loading on a plane, ready to be shipped abroad. For testing or for shooting TVCs, we presumed. But those test mules had a lot of testing equipment and were not very clear, showing fewer details about Mahindra’s upcoming electric coupe SUV.The new spy shots, however, show XUV.e9’s interiors in full clarity, revealing a lot more details we couldn’t grasp with previous spy shots. For starters, we can see that Mahindra XUV700 EV Coupe (XUV.e9) shares a lot of its switchgear and almost all of its components with XUV700. This is not a bad thing as XUV700 is quite a feature-loaded offering.Mahindra XUV700 EV CoupeDashboard is the same as Mahindra XUV700’s, but we get a new free-standing triple-screen setup that takes centre stage. Dual-zone climate control panel and AC vents, headlight control stalk, wiper control stalk, interior door trims, centre console, seats, armrests and other attributes are the same as those of XUV700.Mahindra XUV700 EV CoupeWhat are the changes?Apart from the new triple-screen layout that we mentioned above, there are a lot of new elements that these new spy shots show. For starters, there is a new twin-spoke steering wheel with an illuminated logo (Tata Motors vibes here). It is leather-wrapped and has horn pads at the ends for easy reach with thumbs (love it).Centre console still retains the lovely physical infotainment dial from XUV700, but there is a new and fancier gear selector with Blue accents. There seem to be extra speakers with XUV.e9 as suggested by the grill at the top of door trims, but this might just be a non-functional pattern too. What will be functional, though, is a hollow space on the dashboard which will be populated by a large HUD in the future.Mahindra XUV700 EV CoupeThe illuminated logo we mentioned on XUV.e9 is likely to be specific to XUV.e lineup. This is a brand new logo, which looks an infinity. It is different than Mahindra’s Twin Peaks logo. So, we get old oval Mahindra logo for CVs, Twin Peaks for PVs, a new “Infinity” logo for XUV.e range and BE logo for, well, BE range of vehicles.We also get a closer look at the leather seats as well as the fixed glass roof. Powertrains-wise, we expect Mahindra XUV700 EV Coupe (XUV.e9) to pack up to an 80 kWh battery and an option for dual motor AWD layout with around 200 km/h top speed. Launch is likely to happen in 2025 and will rival Tata Safari EV.Also read – Mahindra BE.05 base model gets unique fascia More

      Hero Xpulse 210 Spied With Karizma’s 210cc Engine – New Details!

      by

      Hero Xpulse 210 SpiedUpcoming Hero Xpulse 210 spied, hints at a larger fuel tank and aerodynamic tank shrouds that should prove beneficial for cruisingAfter a long gap, Hero Xpulse 210 spy shots have made an appearance again. Maybe the testing was always active, but test mules went unnoticed owing to the stark similarities with Xpulse 200 4V. Either way, we’re excited to see Hero’s commitment to this product and we wish it launches soon.Hero Xpulse 210 SpiedThe concept of Karizma engine in a Hero ADV is nothing new. There are many Karipulse (horrendous name, though) out there blazing the trails. These were old Karizma engines mated to Impulse chassis by a few Hero dealerships. For track-use only, as these weren’t road-legal.A concept so good, that Hero MotoCorp is considering making one for the road. This is a culmination of Xpulse 200 4V chassis with the new 210cc DOHC 4V liquid-cooled engine debuted with Karizma XMR 210. With this new engine, Xpulse will be bestowed with a 6-speed gearbox, slipper clutch and other attributes.Looking at the new spy shots, we can’t help but conclude that this is very close to production-spec. We say this because the previous set of spy shots taken from Leh Ladakh region in 2023 did not feature any additional design elements. The new spy shots, however, show aerodynamic tank shrouds and a larger fuel tank (please be 17L).Upcoming Hero Xpulse 210Hero MotoCorp seems to be testing out the touring capabilities of Xpulse 210 with aftermarket panniers. Conversely speaking, these might be Hero’s own panniers to be launched alongside the Xpulse 210. Attributes like tall windscreen, knuckle guards, rear luggage rack, a front beak, high ground clearance are carried over.What to expect?Xpulse 200 4V was a significant upgrade over the 2V with added refinement and performance. However, Xpulse 200 4V can’t be the only motorcycle in one’s garage as it lacks grunt for higher highway cruising speeds. Karizma’s 210cc engine packs 25.15 bhp of peak power and 20.4 Nm of peak torque.6.25 bhp and 3.05 Nm more than the current Xpulse 200 4V. The 6th gear, higher engine speeds, smoother liquid-cooled setup and the larger fuel tank of upcoming Xpulse 210 will ensure a better highway cruising experience and improved overall rideability. Dual-channel ABS might be added on top of all the componentry Xpulse 200 4V currently gets.Hero Xpulse 210 spotted testingFeatures-wise, we will get LED headlights, H-shaped LED DRLs, LED tail lights, engine cut-off sensor, engine kill switch, a fully digital instrument cluster with Bluetooth connectivity and turn-by-turn navigation, USB charging port (Type-C, we hope). The spy shot showed 21-inch front and 18-inch rear wire-spoke alloys as current Xpulse, front and rear disc brakes and others.We hope there is a Pro variant too, with fully adjustable front and rear suspension with significantly higher suspension travel and ground clearance to fully unlock the off-roading potential of this platform. Hero Xpulse 210 comes close to being the one motorcycle in the garage philosophy. At around Rs 1.6 lakh (Ex-sh), this would be something I’d personally buy.Also read – Hero Xpulse 440 spied testingSource – Motoroctane More

      by

      2025 Tata Harrier EV SpiedWith close to 2/3rd market share in EV segment, Tata Motors will be keen to further cement its position in this spacePopular cars like Tiago EV, Punch EV and Nexon EV have helped Tata Motors to emerge as the top selling EV brand in the country. As competition intensifies, Tata has plans to launch multiple new products. One of these is Harrier EV, which is scheduled for launch in the current financial year.Tata Harrier EV Spied with New AlloysLatest spy shots of the Tata Harrier EV from Ladakh, shows it wearing a new set of alloys. These are the same alloys which the Harrier EV Concept was wearing, when it was showcased at the 2023 Auto Expo last year. This is the first time that the Harrier test mule is spotted wearing these alloys.2025 Tata Harrier EV SpiedHarrier EV is built on Tata’s born-electric acti.ev architecture. This is already in use with the Punch EV. Harrier EV is likely to have a 60-kWh battery pack, offering a range of around 500 km. The current ICE model is equipped with a 2.0-litre diesel engine. It churns out 170 PS and 350 Nm. Transmission choices include 6-speed MT and 6-speed AT. It is reported that Tata is also working on a petrol option for Harrier.With its optimized battery pack design, acti.ev has been able to achieve 10% improvement in energy density. Multiple range options can be attained, from 300 km to 600 km. Charging options include support for 7.2kW to 11kW AC charger. With a 150 kW DC fast charger, around 100 km can be loaded in just around 10 minutes.Tata Harrier.ev showcaseHarrier EV to get AWD, ADASTata’s acti.ev pure EV architecture supports FWD and RWD with a single-motor setup as well as AWD with a dual-motor setup. It is likely that AWD option will be made available with Harrier EV. A test mule spotted recently was seen with an electric motor powering the rear wheels.2025 Tata Harrier EV SpiedIt is possible that this particular test mule could have been an AWD model. An AWD setup can significantly enhance the capabilities of Harrier EV. It is also relevant from a business perspective, as rivals such as upcoming XUV700 EV (XUV.e8) are also likely to offer AWD option.While ICE Harrier already has ADAS, some additional features could be introduced with the Harrier EV. The acti.ev architecture to be used for Harrier EV has enhanced computing power and ADAS Level 2 capabilities. It is also designed to support ADAS L2+, thereby ensuring enhanced safety and navigation capabilities. The acti.ev platform supports 5G, something that will ensure seamless connectivity. Harrier EV will be getting features such as Vehicle to Load (V2L) and Vehicle to Vehicle Charging (V2V).2025 Tata Harrier EV SpiedCharging network expansionParallel to introducing new models, Tata Motors is also working to expand its charging infrastructure. This will be critical in improving overall experience for Tata’s EV buyers. By the end of this decade, Tata Motors has plans to set up around 100,000 charging stations.Another focus area is to expand the number of EV-exclusive showrooms. Over the next couple of years, more than 50 EV-exclusive showrooms will be opened. These initiatives will be beneficial for Tata’s upcoming electric cars such as Curvv EV, Sierra EV and Avinya models. More

      2025 Bajaj Pulsar ADV Spied Testing Again – Reveals New Details

      by

      Bajaj Pulsar ADV SpiedWhen launched, Bajaj Pulsar ADV is likely to be in a niche and attract a lot of buyers who want a high-riding ADV-styled motorcycleThe new Freedom 125 CNG motorcycle is currently all the rage in India. It has unprecedented popularity and is likely to be the hottest Indian motorcycle in the coming months. However, Bajaj is creating another buzz with an upcoming ADV style Pulsar motorcycle. It has been spotted testing for the second time, revealing new details.Bajaj Pulsar ADV Spied Testing AgainIf we take a look at Bajaj’s portfolio, we can see that the company lacks a proper ADV or even a faux ADV. In a time where ADVs and ADV-styled motorcycles are gaining popularity, Bajaj is diving into the genre too. Not that Bajaj never designed an ADV styled motorcycle.Bajaj Pulsar ADV SpiedThe company offered Pulsar AS series (Adventure Sports), which was discontinued owing to poor sales. Now, Bajaj seems to be at it again. This is the second time Bajaj’s upcoming ADV-styled motorcycle has been spied. The new spy shot is credited to automotive enthusiast Irfan Khan, who spotted it in Lonavala.We can see the bike from its exhaust side, showing interesting details from the side profile. Overall, Bajaj Pulsar ADV spied, looks a lot like Pulsar NS. So, Bajaj might be positioning its upcoming ADV on Pulsar NS platform boasting its tried and tested perimeter frame and the box-section swingarm.Bajaj Pulsar ADV SpiedNotable changes are the new front seat, which is scooped out quite a bit, to offer a low seat height. This is a common practice in high-riding ADVs. Seat is of split design and looks like it offers decent wiggle room. Fuel tank looks large and muscular with beefy tank shrouds. There is no bikini fairing and tall windscreen like Pulsar AS, though.Bajaj Pulsar ADV SpiedTail section looks very similar to Pulsar NS range, packing almost identical tail lights. Grab rail is a single-piece design on this upcoming Pulsar ADV, while NS gets a split design. There is a beak-like element protruding down from the headlight too, lending the whole ADV look.What to expect?Thie upcoming Bajaj Pulsar ADV looks like it has USD telescopic front forks. But the rear disc brakes and skinny tyres suggest that this could be a 125cc motorcycle. So, the beefy appeal from the front suspension area might be due to fork covers, similar to what we saw in Freedom 125 CNG motorcycle. So, RSU telescopic forks with beefy covers are most likely.125cc Pulsars are Bajaj’s best-sellers and sell like hot cakes when compared to other motorcycles. So, expanding this category further to include an ADV-style motorcycle might prove to be a good decision. LED headlights, LED tail lights, a fully digital instrument cluster with Bluetooth support, USB charging port, rear mono-shock suspension setup, 17-inch alloys at both ends and front disc brake are some of the features and componentry.Powertrains-wise, upcoming Bajaj Pulsar ADV is likely to come equipped with a similar setup as Pulsar NS125. So, around 12 PS of peak power, 11 Nm of peak torque, 5-speed gearbox, air-cooled engine, underbelly exhaust setup, kick and self start maybe the ballpark. More

It is from here that the latest spy shots have arrived. These reveal a striking Roadster-style silhouette for the Guerrilla 450, featuring a design that combines modern aesthetics with classic Royal Enfield heritage. Spy shots are credited to Aditya Singh.New Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450Notably, the bike boasts a new fuel tank design, suggesting a departure from the larger capacity seen in the Himalayan 450. This design tweak aligns with its urban-focused approach, catering to riders looking for agility and style in their daily commutes and spirited rides.Technical Specs and PerformanceUnder the hood, the Guerrilla 450 is powered by the Sherpa 450 engine, marking a significant leap in Royal Enfield’s engineering prowess. This engine incorporates modern features such as a DOHC 4V head and liquid cooling—firsts for any single-cylinder Royal Enfield model. Paired with a 6-speed gearbox, slipper clutch, and ride-by-wire throttle, the Guerrilla 450 promises a refined and responsive riding experience suitable for diverse road conditions.Royal Enfield 450The spy shots also highlight the bike’s chassis, which appears to be derived from the Himalayan 450 platform. However, the Guerrilla 450 features notable modifications, including RSU telescopic front forks with gaiters for enhanced suspension travel and roadster-style handlebars for a sportier riding stance. Alloy wheels shod with road-biased tubeless tyres further emphasize its urban-oriented design, offering superior grip and handling on city streets.Royal Enfield Guerrilla 3D RenderStyling and ErgonomicsIn terms of aesthetics, the Guerrilla 450 exudes a neo-retro charm with round LED headlights, round ORVMs, and a minimalist approach to fairing and wind protection—perfectly suited for its Roadster genre. The absence of a front windshield and beak enhances its sleek profile while maintaining a balance between classic design cues and modern functionality. Large disc brakes with dual-channel ABS ensure reliable stopping power, underscoring its commitment to safety and performance.Expected to be competitively priced around Rs 2.3 lakh (Ex-showroom), the Guerrilla 450 will challenge established models like the Honda CB300R and Triumph Speed 400. Its lighter weight and agile handling characteristics make it an attractive option for riders seeking versatility and excitement in their daily rides and weekend getaways.Beyond its technical prowess, Royal Enfield has captivated enthusiasts with its Guerrilla Marketing campaign, leveraging provocative visuals and cryptic messages to build anticipation. This unconventional approach not only teases the bike’s features but also sparks conversation and engagement across social media platforms, reinforcing the Guerrilla 450’s rebellious and distinctive identity.

      Maruti eVX Prod-Spec Headlights, Tail Lights Spotted For The First Time

      by

      Maruti Suzuki eVX Production-spec HeadlightsWhen launched, Maruti Suzuki eVX will rival MG ZS EV and Mahindra XUV400 along with upcoming Tata Curvv EV, Hyundai Creta EV and othersSuzuki’s first electric vehicle, the eVX, is set to launch sometime in 2025 and the testing is going on in full swing. The engineering samples of eVX have been spotted on multiple occasions. Up until now, these mules donned make-shift temporary headlights and tail lights, while production-spec lighting has just been finalised, revealed by recent spy shots.Maruti Suzuki eVX Production-Spec LightingIndia’s largest car manufacturer, Maruti Suzuki, used to be known for small, light affordable hatchbacks. The narrative has changed in the recent past with vehicles marketed under ‘Utility’ tag having gained centre stage. Suzuki is developing its maiden EV and it takes the shape of an SUV too.Maruti Suzuki eVX Production-Spec LightingCalled eVX, it has been testing both in India and globally for the past year. These test mules showed a lot about the Maruti Suzuki eVX and painted quite a picture in our minds. It adheres to the Suzuki eVX concept showcased in January 2023. Launch is likely to happen in 2025 and India will be a market as well as a production and hub.However, the test mules spotted here in India and abroad didn’t have final production-spec lighting elements. In this sense, they used temporary makeshift projector headlights with exposed halogen tail lights. The new test mules spotted in Southern Europe show production-spec headlights and tail lights.Maruti Suzuki eVX Production-spec Tail LightsThese headlights have LEDs in them, unlike the old temporary headlights seen in previous test mules. Main LED headlights are housed in a projector and the LED DRL signature seems to float above and below this projector. This LED DRL signature seems to be complementing the overall fascia that also has an X-shape design.Tail lights are finalised too and are LEDs. Overall signature is similar to what we saw in Suzuki eVX concept. Top LED in tail lights is likely to connect with the other one with an LED light bar. This particular test mule, however, didn’t possess the new production-spec alloy wheel design we saw with latest spy shots in India.Maruti Suzuki eVX New Alloys Spied In IndiaWhat else do we know so far?Apart from new lighting elements, recent test mules don’t reveal anything new. Something interesting. Say, a rear electric motor. Sadly, that’s not the case. However, speculations suggest there may be a dual-motor AWD variant with eVX along with a single-motor FWD layout option.Both are likely to draw power from a 60 kWh battery, promising around 500 km of range on a single charge. Interiors are fairly premium, befitting of a global car. A floating centre console, large infotainment screen, 360-degree camera, charging port on front-left quarter panel are some of the notable attributes.Source More
