      Hero Classic 350 Rival Launch, Media Drive Dates Revealed – Hurikan 440 Name Final?

      by

      X440 test mule that could be Hero’s Hurikan 440Given the VFM identity that Hero MotoCorp has, we can expect the new Hero Classic 350 rival to be priced around Rs. 2 lakh (ex-sh)Royal Enfield seems to have hit the ball out of the park with Classic 350. The motorcycle has proved to be a phenomenon among Indian buyers. In November 2023, RE sold 30K+ Classic 350 in India. That’s a sizeable chunk. A chunk that India’s biggest 2W manufacturer, Hero MotoCorp, is eyeing with a new 440cc bike.Hero Classic 350 Rival Launch Soon?Joining the long line of Classic 350 rivals is Hero MotoCorp. The line consists of Jawa and Yezdi motorcycles, Honda CB350 lineup, Harley-Davidson X440 and Triumph Speed 400. Hero’s new Classic 350 rival will share the same 440cc platform that was co-developed with Harley-Davidson and seen on X440.There may be a small difference in engine tuning to place Harley-Davidson X440 as the more premium and performant machine than Hero’s offering. This should allow Hero MotoCorp to undercut X440 and most of its rivals by a large margin. Hero’s production capacity is among the largest in the world and with that, the company might establish an aggressive price point.Considering X440 is already a retro-style motorcycle, we expect Hero to position its motorcycle slightly differently. We’re talking about slightly toned-down design attributes and fancy finishes for sheet metal. Probably cut down on a few features too. The name Hurikan 440 was recently trademarked by Hero MotoCorp and has a good chance of ending up on its Classic 350 rival.Hero Classic 350 Rival Media DriveHurikan 440 Name Final?In yesterday’s post, we covered upcoming Hero MotoCorp motorcycle based on Harley-Davidson X440 and how it can be a Classic 350 rival. In the post, we mentioned launch date as January 22nd. The recent media invites sent by the company suggest media drive events to be held between 15th and 16th February.Considering Karizma XMR 210 costs Rs. 1.8 lakh (ex-sh), we can speculate Hero Hurikan 440 (name not confirmed) to be priced at around Rs. 2 lakh (ex-sh). In comparison, Harley-Davidson X440 costs Rs. 2,39,500 (ex-sh) for base Denim variant and goes till Rs. 2,79,500 for S variant with alloy wheels and connectivity suite.Performance metrics of Hero Hurikan 440 might be slightly lower than that of Harley-Davidson X440. For context, X440 has 27 bhp of peak power and 38 Nm of peak torque. Hurikan 440 will continue to get a 6-speed transmission with different gearing than X440. Hero’s biggest motorcycle will feature dual-channel ABS.Other areas for (potential) cost-cutting for Hero Hurikan 440 are less sophisticated front suspension setup as opposed to X440’s 43mm KYB USD telescopic front forks. Wheels on Hurikan 440 might not feature any dual-tone effect and wear skinnier rubber too when compared to X440. Hero is expected to play VFM card and establish an attractive price point with its flagship product. More

      Safari EV And Harrier EV Spotted On Tow Truck – En Route ARAI Certification?

      by

      Safari EV and Harrier EV spotted on tow truckBoth the Safari EV and Harrier EV will feature a different fascia, packing around 60 kWh battery with single-motor FWD and dual-motor AWD configsRecently, Tata Motors inaugurated two EV-specific dealerships in Gurugram, Uttar Pradesh. Tata Motors is adding two new EVs to the lineup soon as seen with recent test mules – Safari EV and Harrier EV. These will be flagship offerings from Tata.ev, sitting above the recently launched Nexon EV (Nexon.ev).Safari EV And Harrier EV Spotted On Tow TruckNamed Tata.ev dealerships, these EV-specific showrooms and service centres aim to provide curated experience to EV buyers with eco-friendliness being the main mantra. The recent test mules were spotted on a tow truck Both these test mules were extensively draped in camouflage, conceiving their identity.These test mules on a tow truck were spotted in Pune city. Looking at them on a tow truck, we would say that both these test mules are headed for ARAI testing for range on a single charge. Tata Punch EV test mule spotted in May 2023, was on a tow truck too. The new Safari EV and Harrier EV spy shot is credited to automotive enthusiast Anvay Sheolikar.Interestingly, these test mules donned pre-facelift bodies and designs that were replaced with ICE models of facelifted Safari and Harrier. Production-spec Safari EV and Harrier EV will bear newer design that Tata Motors showcased at 2023 Auto Expo. The mechanicals (in this case, electricals) are what matters for ARAI testing and certification procedures.Tata Harrier Electric SUVJust like Nexon and Nexon EV, we expect both Harrier EV and Safari EV to get additional features and equipment over their ICE counterparts. Where design is concerned, we can expect minor revisions over their ICE counterparts in the form of a closed grill and revised bumpers to establish a different fascia.What to expect from Tata.ev’s new flagships?Just like the new Nexon EV, there is a good probability that Safari and Harrier’s EV counterparts will sport any blue elements. Both on the outside and inside. Tata Motors is currently leading the electric car scene in India with Tiago EV, Tiago EV and Nexon EV. That said, India’s electric car scene is expected to get brutal with new incoming EVs.Safari EV and Harrier will primarily rival Mahindra’s upcoming XUV.e8 (XUV700 electric). Hyundai could come up with an Alcazar EV based on upcoming Creta EV if there is enough demand. The Land Rover derived OMEGARC platform on Safari and Harrier will be modified to accommodate batteries for their EV counterparts.Tata Safari electric spied with new designFWD will be standard with optional dual-motor AWD variants. Tata might sell its flagship electric SUVs with around 60 kWh battery pack, promising a range of around 500 km on a single charge. We hope there is an 80 kWh battery pack option in the mix because Mahindra’s INGLO platform on XUV.e8 is expected to pack 80 kWh worth of cells in higher variants.Both Tata Safari EV and Harrier EV will be launched in 2024. Considering increasing test mule sightings, they could launch sooner rather than later. Price might start from around Rs. 25 lakh (ex-sh) going till Rs. 35 lakh (ex-sh).Source – Anvay Sheolikar More

      Yamaha R3 And MT-03 Launched In India – Start From Rs. 4.6 Lakh

      by

      Yamaha R3 and MT-03 launchedThe 321cc parallel-twin DOHC liquid-cooled engine on Yamaha R3 and MT-03 launched, generates around 40 hp of peak power and 29.5 Nm of peak torqueThe Call Of The Blue is back in business by introducing multi-cylinder motorcycles after what felt like ages. Now, the entry into Yamaha’s multi-cylinder motorcycle lineup starts with the new YZF-R3 and MT-03 launched today. Prices for this dynamic duo start from Rs. 4,59,900 (ex-sh) for MT-03 and Rs. 4,64,900 for its fully-faired counterpart R3.Yamaha R3 And MT-03 Launched In IndiaUp until now, R15M was the most expensive Yamaha motorcycle in India. That changes now, as Yamaha has re-introduced YZF-R3 and launched its street naked counterpart, MT-03 for the first time in India. There are two colours on offer with Yamaha R3 – Icon Blue and Yamaha Black. While MT-03 gets Midnight Black and Midnight Cyan shades.Yamaha R3 was first launched in India in 2015 in BS4 guise and was the arch-rival to another 300cc twinner from Japan, Kawasaki Ninja 300, along with Italians like Benelli 302R. R3 took its sweet time for re-launch. But it is finally here. MT-03 however, is at the Indian gates for the first time. Sold via select dealers.R3 now gets a lot sharper design than the previous model. The new design is in line with other YZF-R products like R1, M1, R6, and even R15 that we have in India. It has a sleek and aerodynamic design and a new dash of colours too. Same goes with MT-03, where it falls in line with other MT vehicles and looks like a bigger MT-15, which it is.Yamaha MT-03 Midnight CyanYamaha MT-03 Midnight BlackLike other products in R-World, R3 also gets an air duct between the headlights for optimal cooling. Speaking about headlights, they are LEDs now and the turn indicators are integrated into the fairing. RVMs are still mounted on the cowl. It gets a decent windscreen, clip-on handlebars, sculpted fuel tank, split seat design and upswept exhaust.MT-03 gets the same attributes, but lacks a fairing. The footpegs are slightly rear set indicating that it is a track machine. It gets a fully digital instrument cluster showing various data like fuel capacity, gear position, coolant temp, real-time and average fuel economy, trip meter, clock and more.Specs and equipmentBoth Yamaha R3 and MT-03 get the same 321cc, liquid-cooled paralle-twin motor with a DOHC setup. It generates around 40 bhp of peak power and 29.5 Nm of peak orque. It is mated to a 6-speed gearbox with a slip and assist clutch too.Yamaha YZF-R3 Icon BlueThe main highlight of Yamaha R3 and MT-03 is its low kerb weight. R3 tips the scales at 169 kg, whereas MT-03 weighs 1 kg lighter at 168 kg. This is not only lighter than its arch-rival Ninja 300, but also RC 390, G 310 RR and Apache RR 310. Hence power:weight ratio is highest in this segment.Other hardware specs include USD forks at front and a mono-shock at the rear. Braking is handled by 298 mm and 220 mm discs at front and rear. Dual-channel ABS is offered as standard. R3 gets 17” wheels at both ends, shod with 110/70 front and 140/70 rear tyres. Royal Enfield 650s might be the biggest threat to Yamaha’s 300cc twinner duo, even though they don’t really compete in any other aspects than pricing. More

This is the production version of Royal Enfield Shotgun 650, unlike the Shotgun 650 Motoverse Edition launched at Rs. 4.25 lakh (ex-sh), limited to 25 units only. The production version looks very similar to Motoverse Edition, but there are visual differences.Royal Enfield Shotgun 650 Globally DebutsRoyal Enfield is known for its blank canvas approach for modders and custom bike builders to work on. Modders love Royal Enfields as it is the classic motorcycle of choice for many buyers to begin with. Even with Royal Enfield’s 650cc portfolio, there has been extensive custom bike examples that are exemplary in their own way.Now, the company has debuted Shotgun 650 in a multitude of custom shades riding in and around Los Angeles. For Royal Enfield, Shotgun 650 is a celebration of self expression. As we all know, West Coast is known for its mod culture and houses some of world’s greatest custom bike builders.Design of production-spec Shotgun 650 is very close to Shotgun 650 Motoverse Edition that was recently sold to 25 lucky Motoverse 2023 attendees. The bike looks very close to original SG650 concept that was showcased earlier. All the motorcycles that featured in Royal Enfield’s short video were single-seat versions.New Shotgun 650 ColoursThere are four colour options – Stencil White, Plasma Blue, Green Drill and Sheetmetal Grey. This motorcycle can be transformed into a single-seater, souble-seater and a luggage carrying tourer, with pillion seat popping out with a twist of the key.What does it pack?For starters, Shotgun 650 packs the same main frame as Super Meteor 650, but a slightly different sub frame. This is to suit different design characteristics that separate Super Meteor 650 and Shotgun 650. Where powertrain is concerned, Royal Enfield Shotgun 650 packs the same 648cc parallel twin oil-cooled engine as other RE 650s.This powertrain is capable of developing 47 hp of peak power and 52 Nm of peak torque, mated to a 6-speed gearbox. Royal Enfield is offering a slip and assist clutch as part of package. This powertrain has oodles of torque and power reserves for both enthusiastic as well as relaxed and laid-back riding styles.Shotgun 650 anglesComponentry includes USD telescopic front forks and twin shock absorbers at the rear, single disc brake setup at both ends coupled with dual-channel ABS as standard, a wide handlebar for good leverage, 18-inch front and 17-inch rear alloy wheels with tubeless tyres among others. Features include a semi-digital instrument cluster, Tripper screen, all LED lighting, Wingman telematics and many more.As of now, Royal Enfield has not revealed a launch date and final specs are still under wraps. We expect it to launch in early 2024 at a starting price of around Rs. 3.7 lakh (ex-sh) for the base variant.Words from the manufacturerSpeaking about this motorcycle, Siddhartha Lal, Managing Director & CEO of Eicher Motors Ltd., says “The Shotgun 650 is inspired by the work of our custom community and our years of work with them. It is a retro-futuristic interpretation of what a factory custom motorcycle with thoroughbred Royal Enfield DNA would look like. A shape-shifting machine that defies categorization, both in form and in spirit, the Shotgun 650 is something absolutely new and different.Shotgun 650 accessoriesIt is super fun to ride with confidence inspiring ride ergonomics and handles well in downtown city streets, through twisties and powers through straight highways. The Shotgun 650 is our attempt to bring niche and newer categories of motorcycles to growing enthusiasts of self-expression”. More

      by

      Standard Kawasaki W175 With 2 New ColoursAs opposed to the recently launched W175 Street with alloy wheels and tubeless tyres, Standard Kawasaki W175 gets wire-spoke wheels with tube tyresKawasaki seems to be making quite a buzz in India, all for the right reasons. The Japanese company recently showcased ZX-6R in India at India Bike Week 2023. In the same event, Kawasaki took the wraps off W175 Street which got an introductory price of Rs. 1.35 lakh (ex-sh). Following that, Kawasaki has slashed prices of Standard Kawasaki W175 as well.Standard Kawasaki W175 Gets Price Cut Of Rs. 25KPreviously available at Rs. 1.47 lakh (ex-sh), Standard Kawasaki W175 was a hard sell. With the introduction of W175 Street with more attractive features, prospect of a Standard W175 got even less appealing. We say this because W175 Street got an introductory price of Rs. 1.35 lakh (ex-sh) and boasted more desirable features.Now, the Standard Kawasaki W175 is being offered with a big price cut. Making it Rs. 25,000 more affordable than it used to be before. Ex-sh prices for Standard W175 start from Rs. 1.22 lakh and goes till Rs. 1.31 lakh, depending on the choice of colours.Speaking of colours, Kawasaki has introduced two new colours on top of Ebony and Candy Persimmon Red shades on offer from the start. New colours are Metallic Graphite Grey and Metallic Ocean Blue. All four colours on Standard W175 motorcycle are offered at different price points.Standard Kawasaki W175 Metallic Ocean BlueThis spreads W175’s variant lineup across Standard and Street versions. Offering a broader range of price spectrum, starting from Rs. 1.22 lakh to Rs. 1.31 lakh for Standard W175 and Rs. 1.35 lakh for newly launched W175 Street (all prices ex-sh).Breaking down the prices, we get Standard W175 starting from Rs. 1.22 lakh for Ebony shade, Rs. 1.24 lakh for Candy Persimmon Red, Rs. 1.29 lakh for Metallic Graphite Gray and Rs. 1.31 lakh for Metallic Ocean Blue. Where W175 Street are concerned, Rs. 1.35 lakh for Metallic Moondust Gray and Candy Emerald Green. All prices are ex-sh.Difference between Standard and Street versionsThe only difference between Standard Kawasaki W175 and W175 Street is the addition of alloy wheels with the latter. Whereas Standard W175 still gets wire-spoke wheels with tube-type tyres. W175 gets tubeless tyres, which is a much-appreciated convenience feature on this retro motorcycle.Standard Kawasaki W175 Metallic Graphite GrayOther than that, both Standard and Street versions get the same old-world charm and bare-bones features list. Both motorcycles get the same 177cc air-cooled single-cylinder engine that pumps out 13 hp of peak power and 13 Nm of peak torque, mated to a 5-speed gearbox.There is a disc brake at the front with single-channel ABS and a drum brake setup at the rear. Wheels are 17-inch in size and there is not a lot of kit on offer with Kawasaki W175. Lighting all around is graced by halogen bulbs and instrument cluster is semi-digital. The 135 kg weight is a strong point with W175 that makes it very friendly. More
