This new addition marks a milestone, as it is the first Royal Enfield model to feature the brand’s new logo.
    Built on the J-Platform
    New Goan Classic 350 is the fifth model to use Royal Enfield’s versatile J-platform, already seen on the Meteor 350, Hunter, Classic, and Bullet. Designed as a premium lifestyle motorcycle, it is positioned above the Classic 350. It stands out with its tear-drop-shaped fuel tank, retro-style rounded LED headlamps, and a digi-analogue instrument cluster.

    Goan 350 boasts a single-seat layout (750 mm seat height), complemented by U-shaped handlebars and forward-set footpegs for a relaxed riding posture. The white-wall tyres, blacked-out exhaust, and spoke wheels give it an authentic bobber vibe.
    The design sketch of the Royal Enfield Goan Classic 350 highlights several key bobber-specific features that set it apart. It includes a lowered rider seat for a relaxed riding position, a mini ape hanger handlebar for enhanced comfort and aesthetics, and a distinctive slash-cut silencer end. The design incorporates a short front fender with a mudflap and tubeless retro-styled tyres for added durability and a vintage appeal.

    At the rear, a swing-arm-mounted fender, rigid fender stay, and a stylish tail lamp casing complete its classic silhouette. The bike also features LED headlamps and blinkers, ensuring modern functionality within its retro-inspired design. These elements collectively enhance the Goan Classic’s stance as a stylish, lifestyle-focused bobber in Royal Enfield’s lineup.

It is powered by a 349cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine that produces 20.2 hp at 6,100 rpm and 27 Nm torque at 4,000 rpm, mated to a 5-speed gearbox. For suspension, it features telescopic forks at the front and twin shock absorbers at the rear. Braking is managed by disc brakes on both ends.
    The Goan Classic 350 is set to compete with the Jawa 42 Bobber and Jawa Perak. Pricing will be higher than the Classic 350, which currently ranges between Rs 1.93 lakh and Rs 2.30 lakh (ex-showroom).
    Royal Enfield Goan Classic 350 Bobber
    With its premium design, advanced features, and a focus on lifestyle-oriented customers, the Goan Classic 350 is set to make a bold statement in the bobber segment. Keep an eye out for its launch at Motoverse 2024 in Goa!

      by

      Royal Enfield 750cc Faired Motorcycle SpiedUpcoming Royal Enfield Faired Motorcycle Spotted: A New Chapter in Performance and Design with Potential 750cc Engine
      Royal Enfield continues to captivate motorcycle enthusiasts with exciting developments in its mid-capacity range. The latest spy shots of a new faired motorcycle, likely based on the Continental GT 650, bring fresh intrigue as the brand explores expanding its offerings. Adding to the excitement, this is likely the first Royal Enfield which will be powered by a larger 750cc engine.
      Royal Enfield 750cc Faired Motorcycle Spied
      Latest spy shots are credited to automotive enthusiasts Daniel M and Matthews, who managed to spot this new motorcycle in Chennai. This new motorcycle, which could be positioned as a sportier iteration of the Continental GT 650, features several key updates.
      Royal Enfield 750cc Faired Motorcycle Spied
      The most noticeable change is the fairing, which is more substantial and extends lower than the bikini fairing seen on earlier test mules. This new design not only adds visual appeal but also hints at improved aerodynamics and potential touring capabilities. The fairing integrates turn indicators, and the front continues to sport the signature circular LED headlight, maintaining the brand’s classic aesthetic.
      The test bike is equipped with sporty clip-on handlebars that promise a committed, cafe racer riding position. The longer seat design indicates an added focus on rider and pillion comfort for extended rides. Alloy wheels, a black exhaust, and tubeless tyres further enhance the bike’s modern appearance and performance attributes.

      The dual front disc setup is also visible, which could mean improved braking efficiency and a move towards enhanced safety. The presence of a concealed digital display unit inside the fairing points to a sleeker cockpit design.

      Potential Upgrade: 750cc Engine Development
      One of the most exciting developments is the potential introduction of a 750cc parallel-twin engine. It has been rumoured since a few years now that Royal Enfield has been working on increasing the displacement of its existing 650cc engine to 750cc. This new powertrain is expected to deliver more power than the current 46 bhp output, providing an even more thrilling ride.
      Royal Enfield 750cc Faired Motorcycle Spied
      The latest Royal Enfield motorcycle spied here, is carrying a new engine casing, which is likely to be the 750cc and not the 650cc on offer currently. This test mule features dual front brake discs—a first for Royal Enfield—indicating that the brand may be exploring component testing to match the increased power of the 750cc engine.

      A Broader 650cc and 750cc Lineup
      This new faired model will join Royal Enfield’s robust 650cc lineup, which includes the Continental GT 650, Interceptor 650, Super Meteor 650, Shotgun 650, Bear 650, and the recently showcased Classic 650. If the faired model receives the new 750cc engine, it would set a new benchmark for performance in Royal Enfield’s portfolio. The current 650cc twin engine is already celebrated for its refinement, smooth NVH levels, and torque-rich delivery, and the larger 750cc variant is expected to enhance these attributes further.

      New BSA B65 Scrambler Debuts To Take On Royal Enfield Bear 650

      by

      New BSA B65 Scrambler DebutsThe same 652cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine will be employed on the new BSA B65 Scrambler, but it might have a unique character
      Looking at Royal Enfield’s massive success with its 650cc portfolio, Classic Legends owned BSA Motorcycles revived the iconic Gold Star 650. This motorcycle was launched in India too, at a starting price of Rs 3 lakh (Ex-sh). Now, BSA unveiled a Scrambler variant of Gold Star 650 at Motorcycle Live 2024 show in Birmingham, UK.
      If the words BSA Gold Star 650, Scrambler and Birmingham rang a bell, you have a sharp memory. The company showcased a Scrambler version of Gold Star 650 at Motorcycle Live 2022 show in Birmingham, UK. However, this was more like a concept and a demonstration as it lacked quite a few production parts.
      New BSA B65 Scrambler Debuts
      New BSA B65 Scrambler Debuts
      The recently showcased B65 Scrambler at Motorcycle Live 2024 show in Birmingham looks more like a production-spec product with all necessary equipment for homologation. It is not yet sure whether BSA has launch intentions with this motorcycle.
      You don’t have to be a genius to realise that Gold Star 650 Scrambler is a direct dig at recently launched Royal Enfield Interceptor Bear 650. Both motorcycles boast impeccable brand heritage and nostalgia. They have similar engine displacement and comparable performance metrics.
      [embedded content]
      As seen in the video by Mindful Motorcyclist, BSA has implemented dual-tone colour combination on fuel tank. This engine is liquid-cooled, but the aesthetic fins around its water jacket get a dual-tone finish for that retro aura. Apart from that, there is a new exhaust which is slightly up-swept.
      Other notable elements include a new handlebar with a cross brace, an all-new subframe and a new and sporty tail section. There is a new fully digital instrument cluster that is controlled by improved switchgear, replacing the analogue twin-pod unit on current bike. Side body panels with racing numbers are new as well.
      New BSA B65 Scrambler Debuts
      There’s a small front beak now, along with exposed RSU telescopic front forks with fork gaiters. Suspension travel is increased along with ground clearance. 19-inch front and 17-inch rear wire-spoke wheels are wrapped with Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR tyres for that quintessential Scrambler look. The radiator now gets a new grill and BSA is also showcasing a grill for the LED headlights.
      Same engine as before?
      BSA Gold Star 650 Scrambler will get the same 652cc, liquid-cooled, DOHC motor offering 45 bhp of peak power and 55 Nm of peak torque, mated to a 5-speed gearbox and a slipper clutch. There might be some tweaks to this powertrain to suit Scrambler character. Considering the reception of Interceptor Bear 650, BSA might consider launching this soon. More

      Mahindra Auto is set to redefine the Indian and global EV industry with the launch of BE 6e and XEV 9e electric SUVs. These are among the most anticipated launches in Indian automotive history. Ahead of launch on 26th November, interesting new details have leaked.

      One of India’s leading car makers, Mahindra Auto, has been teasing its upcoming launches, BE 6e and XEV 9e, on social media. These vehicles will be the first from Mahindra to launch under the Electric Origin SUVs sub-brand. These eSUVs will also be the first ones to launch from Mahindra featuring the INGLO platform.
      Mahindra BE 6e – Electric Origin SUV
      Not just that, sources tell Rushlane that Mahindra BE 6e and XEV 9e will be the first mainstream cars in India to launch with remote parking features. This is an absolute Godsend feature to anyone who has a tight parking spot in their garage. Also, this comes in handy in many parking areas where someone parks too close to your car and the doors can’t be opened.
      Mahindra BE 6e and XEV 9e will come with a new key with dedicated buttons on it enabling remote park function. After remotely starting the car from this new key, users can press the forward or reverse buttons on this key and move BE 6e and XEV 9e from their parking spots or into a parking spot. The car will be able to move forward and backward at the touch of a button on the new key, while you are standing outside.
      Mahindra BE 6e – Electric Origin SUV
      This feature will use 360-degree cameras all around along with parking sensors. While operating this feature remotely, the parking sensors will detect obstacles and command the system to stop immediately. In India, this feature is not seen in the mainstream car segment and is only seen in a few luxury vehicles. When launched, remote parking on BE 6e and XEV 9e will be an absolute standout feature.
      Mahindra XEV 9e – Electric Origin SUV
      What else can we expect?
      As seen in the spy shots, BE 6E will have a cockpit-like dashboard with a dual-screen layout. XEV 9e will pack a triple-screen layout. Battery size could go till 80 kWh in capacity and we can expect single-motor and dual-motor setups as well.
      Mahindra is set to launch BE 6e and XEV 9e on 26th of November in Chennai at their ‘Unlimit India’ event. Apart from remote parking, Mahindra’s Electric Origin SUVs are likely to pack significantly more features than current offerings. More

      TVS Apache RTX 310 ADV Leaked – Himalayan 450 Rival Launch In 2025?

      by

      TVS Apache RTX 310 RenderComing from TVS, Apache RTX 310 ADV will have an overload of features, gizmos, technology and an extensive electronic rider aids
      One of India’s leading 2W and 3W vehicle manufacturers, TVS Motor, is expanding its portfolio to include an ADV offering. The company has never launched an ADV yet, and will reportedly positioned on TVS-BMW’s 310 platform. Recent developments show that this motorcycle is in its final testing phase and could see a launch in 2025.
      TVS Apache RTX 310 ADV
      The company has an extensive lineup of premium bikes spread across Apache and Ronin brands. TVS has showcased a Scrambler version of Ronin, called Ronin SCR and might have launch intentions with this product as the design was patented too. ADVs like Royal Enfield Himalayan and KTM 390 Adventure are currently popular.
      TVS Apache RTX 310 ADV Leaked
      New developments from TVS camp suggest that the company is eyeing for a 310 platform-based ADV motorcycle. A recent report suggests that a 300cc ADV motorcycle has been spied testing and has reached final stages of testing with a production model reportedly set to launch in mid-2025.
      The report also attached a snippet of what looks like an ADV motorcycle from TVS. This could be taken from one of TVS’ internal presentations. Looking at the silhouette, one can deduce that TVS is going for a proper adventure tourer with a semi-fairing and a tall windscreen to protect riders from wind blasts.
      TVS Apache RTX Name Trademarked
      What can we expect?
      These developments call for speculations as to what we can expect from this upcoming motorcycle. For starters, we think TVS might position this under the Apache brand and utilise the already trademarked “Apache RTX” name. Going by company’s strategies, RR is a supersport, RTR is a street fighter and RTX could be an adventure tourer.
      Secondly, we can speculate what TVS might offer with this bike in terms of components. The leaked image suggests there may be 21-inch front and 18-inch rear wire-spoke wheels with tubeless tyres, fully adjustable suspension (compression and rebound front, rebound and preload rear) and disc brakes at both ends with switchable dual-channel ABS.
      TVS Apache RTX 310 ADV Render
      Where features are concerned, TVS is highly likely to jam-pack this motorcycle with electronics and features. We can expect a sophisticated IMU with cruise control, cornering control, traction control, ABS modes among others. We can see ventilated seats for both rider and pillion along with a TFT cluster with a plethora of features including music control and navigation.
      Powertrains-wise, the same 310cc reverse inclined single-cylinder liquid-cooled DOHC 4V unit might power the upcoming TVS Apache RTX 310 ADV. The 450cc twin-cylinder unit recently debuted on BMW F 450 GS Concept is highly unlikely. Same performance metrics as recently launched Apache RR 310, 37.5 bhp and 29 Nm, mated to a 6-speed gearbox, slipper clutch and bi-directional quick-shifter are possible.

      Hero Xpulse 421 Sketch Officially Revealed – KTM 390, Himalayan 450 Rival

      by

      Hero Xpulse 421 Sketch. Credit – PowerdriftUpon launch, new Hero Xpulse 421 will challenge rivals such as Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 and KTM 390 Adventure R
      Adopting a strategy similar to other homegrown OEMs, Hero MotoCorp has started adding higher capacity bikes to its portfolio. At the 2024 EICMA, two new quarter-litre bikes were unveiled – Karizma XMR 250 and Xtreme 250R. And now, Hero has also provided a glimpse of the upcoming Xpulse 421.
      Hero Xpulse 421 – What to expect?
      With rivals like Himalayan 450 and KTM 390 Adventure, performance has to be top-notch for any new product being launched. Hero Xpulse 421 will be using an entirely new 420cc engine that is estimated to produce around 43 to 45 bhp. In comparison, Himalayan 450 churns out around 40 bhp and 40 Nm. The numbers for 2025 KTM 390 Adventure have not been revealed. Although general expectations are around 45 bhp and 40 Nm of torque.
      Hero Xpulse 421 Sketch
      Hero will ensure that on-ground performance matches that of rival offerings. And with Hero’s competitive pricing strategy, Xpulse 421 could emerge as the most affordable in its class. An initial offer price of around Rs 2.80 lakh could be possible for Hero Xpulse 421. However, assuming that there will be multiple variants, the base-spec version with limited features could be priced even lower.
      At the 2024 EICMA, Hero provided only some sketches of the bike and a glimpse of the clay models. Some of the key highlights include a stylish LED headlamp with LED DRLs, a large windscreen, knuckle guards, polygonal rear-view mirrors and a sleek design for the fuel tank. The bike’s engine is adequately protected with a robust bash plate. As the exhaust pipe passes near to the rider’s leg, a heat shield has been added. This positioning of the exhaust pipe is necessitated due to the high-mount exhaust.
      Hero Xpulse 421 Sketch
      Hero Xpulse 421 – Equipment list
      To effectively compete with rivals, Hero Xpulse 421 will be getting a comprehensive range of features. For example, the teaser has revealed the presence of a horizontally placed colour TFT screen. It is likely to have Bluetooth, allowing users to access a range of connectivity features. Hero Xpulse 421 is also expected to get multiple electronic driving aids such as traction control and driving modes.
      Other highlights include USD forks in golden finish, monoshock rear suspension, box section swingarm and switchable ABS. The bike is expected to get 21-inch and 18-inch wheel combo, wrapped in dual-purpose tyres. Tubeless tyres are desirable, but it is not confirmed if Hero Xpulse 421 will be getting those.
      Hero Xpulse 421 – Launch date
      A specific launch timeline for Xpulse 421 is not available. The bike will have to endure extensive testing, something that can take several months. It is possible that Hero could launch the Xpulse 421 in 2025 or early 2026. The company will certainly be keen on introducing its flagship adventure bike at the earliest. This segment has been registering strong interest and has significant growth potential.
      Hero has tasted success with the smaller capacity Xpulse and will be looking to achieve something similar with the Xpulse 421. At the 2024 EICMA, Hero also unveiled the Xpulse 210 and the updated Mavrick 440.

      2025 KTM 390 Adventure, Enduro, SMC Unveiled At EICMA 2024

      by

      2025 KTM 390 Adventure R UnveiledBy unveiling 390 Enduro R and 390 SMC R alongside 390 Adventure R, KTM now has up to 5 different body styles to offer with its 390 platform
      Team Orange has been very busy around the EICMA 2024 timeline. With its 390 portfolio, the company is showcasing three product lineups that have garnered worldwide interest. Riding on their popularity among motorcycling enthusiasts, KTM has just showcased 390 Adventure R, 390 Enduro R and 390 SMC R.
      2025 KTM 390 Adventure R
      These are among the most exciting product showcases at EICMA 2024. While 390 Adventure is a new generation of company’s adventure tourer, 390 Enduro and 390 SMC are completely new and have been breaking light for the first time ever. By unveiling these new products, KTM now offers five body styles with the 390 platform – Duke, RC, Adventure, Enduro and SMC.
      2025 KTM 390 Adventure R Unveiled
      2025 KTM 390 Lineup At EICMA
      Next-gen 390 Duke was launched first across many international markets including India, the other models within 390 lineup needed updating. Improving on their previous iterations are 390 Duke (street fighter) and just unveiled 390 Adventure (tourer, off-roader), while next Gen RC 390 is under testing.
      2025 KTM 390 Adventure R
      Now, KTM has added two entirely new body styles with 390 lineup – Enduro and SMC. Both motorcycles were just showcased at EICMA 2024. Before diving deep into Enduro and SMC, we have to start with 390 Adventure as it is the most popular one. For the next Gen 390 Adventure, KTM has been offering varied capabilities with the help of variants.
      2025 KTM 390 Adventure R
      390 Adventure is offered in X and R variants. Bodywork remains the same between the two, but only the 390 Adventure R variant gets TFT instrument cluster, cornering ABS and MTC. X variant is a more road-focused tourer with 19-inch front and 17-inch rear alloy wheels, non-adjustable front and rear suspension with 200 mm travel.
      [embedded content]
      R variant, on the other hand, is a more off-road-worthy offering with improved hardware like 21-inch front and 18-inch rear wire-spoke wheels, off-road tyres, and fully adjustable suspension with 230 mm travel, among others. Ground clearance is higher with R variant and seat height is 885 mm, while X variant has a seat height of 825 mm.
      2025 KTM 390 Enduro R
      390 Enduro R and 390 SMC R
      Where Adventure lineup is more of a semi-faired tourer/off-roader, KTM’s new Enduro lineup aims to be more hardcore and eager to take on the rough stuff. For starters, it ditches Adventure’s fairing and associated weight, making it more manageable to ride off-road. While it lacks a windscreen, it retains the front beak. Headlight and instrument clusters are a simpler units, unlike Adventure’s.
      2025 KTM 390 Enduro R
      Another new body style with KTM’s 390 lineup is SMC R, adhering to Supermoto genre. This is likely to be very popular owing to its fun quotient. The main differentiating factor is the 17-inch front and rear wheels wrapped with sporty tyres for maximum corner carving credentials. It gets unique styling with quirky elements, making it stand out within KTM’s 390 lineup.
      2025 KTM 390 SMC R
      All of the showcased 390 motorcycles (2025 KTM 390 Adventure R, 390 Enduro R and 390 SMC R) will be manufactured at Bajaj’s facility in Pune and shipped to various markets. New 390 Adventure (X and R) and 390 Enduro R are more likely to launch in India, while 390 SMC R might be skipped, until there is demand, of course. More

      Royal Enfield Classic 650 Unveiled – 243 kg, 46.3 bhp, 52.3 Nm

      by

      Royal Enfield Classic 650 UnveiledWith the new Classic 650, Royal Enfield has unveiled their 6th 650cc motorcycle with more offerings to come in the future
      Ever since the launch of Interceptor 650 and GT Continental 650, Royal Enfield has held the 500cc+ motorcycle segment tightly in its grasp with around 85% to 90% market share. Super Meteor 650 and Shotgun 650 further added to the sales. Now, Royal Enfield has launched Interceptor Bear 650 and unveiled Classic 650 to further broaden the horizon.
      The new Classic 650 is expected to single-handedly dominate the company’s 650cc portfolio like Classic 350 has done with the 350cc portfolio. The timeless design with retro charm and raw beauty is the primary strength of Classic 650. Launch is likely to happen soon and pricing will be lower than that of Super Meteor 650 and Shotgun 650.
      Royal Enfield Classic 650 Unveiled
      Royal Enfield Classic 650 Unveiled
      With Classic 650, Royal Enfield aims to provide Classic 350 owners a worthy upgrade, while still offering the same design. This is an incredible feat to achieve and Royal Enfield has done it beautifully. Classic 650 looks exactly like Classic 350, but the timeless design has been proportionally ported over to the larger size.
      At passing glance, Classic 650 looks like a Classic 350. But that’s deliberate as the design is what sells the Classic brand and has turned Royal Enfield’s fortunes around. From the looks of it, Classic 650 might very well be one of the prettiest middle-weight retro motorcycles on sale in the world. It weighs 243 kg, though.
      Classic 650 Unveiled
      Unlike the just launched Interceptor Bear 650, Classic 650 is based on the same chassis as Super Meteor 650 and Shotgun 650. While those two motorcycles pack in more premium componentry like USD Telescopic front forks, Classic 650 stays relatively simpler in terms of components with 43mm RSU telescopic front forks.
      Classic 650 Unveiled
      Rear suspension is taken care of by twin shock absorbers. Instrument cluster of Classic 650 is similar to Classic 350 and gets a Tripper Screen as standard that supports Bluetooth connectivity and turn-by-turn navigation. The exhaust setup is similar to Super Meteor 650 and Shotgun 650 with two tail pipes.
      Classic 650 Unveiled
      Specs and Features
      Classic 650 has LED headlights with a visor, LED tail lights and LED turn indicators. There are single tone and dual tone colours including chrome finishes. Braking setup is handled by single discs at both ends with dual-channel ABS as standard. There are single seater and pillion seat options for buyers to choose from.
      Classic 650 Unveiled
      Powertrain is the same 648cc parallel-twin oil-cooled motor that offers relaxed touring with sufficient torque reserves for quick overtakes. Performance metrics include 46.3 bhp of peak power and 52.3 Nm of peak torque, mated to a slipper clutch and a 6-speed gearbox. India launch is expected soon. More
