      2023 Bajaj Pulsar N125 Spied – New 125cc Rival To Raider, Glamour

      by

      After launching the new gen versions of Pulsar N250 and N160, Bajaj is now getting ready to launch N125 new gen2023 Bajaj Pulsar N125 SpiedBajaj is on the verge of restructuring the company’s Pulsar lineup. Launch of Pulsar F250, N250 and more recently the N160, reflects this. Bajaj has filed new trademarks for Pulsar Eleganz, Pulsar Elan and Twinner in India.Now, we have managed to get our hands on spy shots of Pulsar N125 under testing with heavy camouflage. A total of two test mules were spied together. They were spotted testing in Alibaug, Maharashtra, credits to Bhargav Mhatre. Let’s take a look at the new updates.2023 Bajaj Pulsar N125 SpiedFrom the looks of it, we can speculate that it is the Pulsar N125. We say this because it looks like it has a smaller 125cc mill. This engine might be shared with Pulsar 125 and Pulsar NS125. The engine also looks like it is only air-cooled as it doesn’t have any oil-cooling equipment installed on the motorcycle. It is expected to make around 11.6 bhp of power and 10.8 Nm of torque.In terms of looks, it looks similar to the recently launched Pulsar N160 and the bigger N250. As a result, the fuel tank and muscular shrouds look like they are identical to bigger Pulsar N250’s proportions making it look macho. The tail section is reminiscent of the Pulsar N160 and N250 with twin LED tail lights. But it gets an old-fashioned grab handle instead of the split unit on the former.2023 Bajaj Pulsar N125 SpiedOther similarities with Pulsar N160 include the same instrument cluster, projector headlight, LED DRLs, handlebars, turn indicators, mirrors, and a lot more. What about differences? You might ask. There are a few. Apart from a single-piece grab handle, Pulsar N125 test mule gets a single-piece seat, a small cowl above the instrument cluster, drum brake at the rear, skinny rear tyre, and a telescopic front suspension and not a lot more.The rider on the test bike seems to have a neutral seating position. Rider’s footpegs seem to be centrally set. This will provide an excellent rider’s triangle for city commutes as well as the occasional highway cruise.Launch Plans?Bajaj Auto seems to be expanding its 125cc portfolio. We recently spotted new CT 125X at a showroom recently. Then they have the Pulsar 125 and Pulsar NS125. At the pricier end of their 125cc range, we will get this, Pulsar N125, which might replace the existing Pulsar NS125. More info regarding this will be provided by Bajaj Auto in the coming months.Pulsar 125 is the second-highest selling 125cc motorcycle in India after the Honda Shine 125. But as seen in the sales charts, Pulsar’s 125cc lineup is declining slightly on MoM basis. Pulsar N125 might be enough to jump-start it back up, right? Exact pricing is not yet known. But Pulsar N125 is likely to cost around the same as NS125. When launched, it will compete with Honda CB Shine, TVS Raider, Hero Glamour and the likes. Pulsar N125 is likely to launch in 2023. More

It will primarily rival Tata Curvv that is scheduled for launch in 2024.Mahindra BE 07 Electric SUVBE.07 is planned to debut in October 2026. It has the typical boxy SUV layout, although the sharpness in design is quite distinctive. Insides appear ultra-luxurious with a massive screen that covers the entire length of the dashboard. Other key features include panoramic sunroof and touch-based controls. Mahindra BE.07 is 4,565 mm in length, which makes it longer than Creta, but shorter than XUV700.BE.09 has a sloping roofline and it is likely to be a coupe version of BE.07. It is likely to be the top model in the BE range. It will be offered as a 4-seater SUV. Dimensional details and launch timelines for BE.09 will be revealed at a later date. More

      Mahindra is making big, decisive moves in EV space with the goal to target both domestic as well as international marketsMahindra XUV-E8 Electric SUV – RenderMahindra born-electric SUV range is scheduled to debut on August 15. For now, Mahindra has announced that they will be revealing a total of 5 electric SUVs. All of these will be unveiled at the event that will be held in Oxfordshire, UK. These SUVs have been designed by Mahindra Advanced Design Europe (M.A.D.E), located in West Midlands, UK. M.A.D.E is headed by Pratap Bose, who was earlier with Tata Motors.Considering Mahindra’s aggressive manoeuvres in EV space, it is possible that the new born-electric SUVs could reach production stage earlier than expected. An exact timeline is not available at this point, but some clarity can be expected at the launch event. Mahindra will also be revealing some of the key features of its born-electric SUVs.Mahindra Electric SUV NamesAs per trademark filings, Mahindra has registered 8 new names. These are XUV-e1, XUV-e2, XUV-e3, XUV-e5, XUV-e6, XUV-e7, XUV-e8 and XUV-e9. The name XUV-e4 has been left out. It has not appeared in the leaked list yet. From this naming strategy, it is clear that Mahindra wants the XUV brand to be associated with their upcoming SUVs.Though Mahindra has only confirmed the debut of 5 electric SUVs on 15th Aug, that is tomorrow. As per the leaked details they have planned to launch atleast 8 electric SUVs under the XUV brand. In addition, they may also have plans to launch electric versions of Thar and Scorpio brands in the future.Mahindra Electric SUV Names Leak – XUV-e1, XUV-e2, XUV-e3Mahindra born-electric SUVs FeaturesAs revealed in the teasers, Mahindra born-electric SUVs will have speed of 80 kmph in normal mode.

For reference, popular electric cars available in India like Tata Nexon EV, MG ZS EV and Hyundai Kona have top speed of around 140-155 kmph.Mahindra XUV.e8 Electric SUV LogoSpeed is usually electronically limited in electric cars for maintaining optimal thermal levels for the battery. Various other factors can determine top speed of an EV such as type of battery cells, battery management system, outside weather conditions, etc. Top-end EVs can accommodate much higher speeds, for example, Tesla Model S Plaid that has top speed of 320 kmph.Talking about Mahindra born-electric SUVs, another key feature will be hyper charging. The capability to load miles quickly can be a significant advantage for an electric car. Details are not out yet, but Mahindra is likely to ensure that its born-electric SUVs have segment-lowest charging time. At least users should be able to achieve partial charge at a fast rate to be able to reach their destination in time.Mahindra Electric SUV Names Leak – XUV-e5, XUV-e6, XUV-e7Mahindra born-electric SUVs interiorsMahindra has provided a glimpse of what the overall experience will be like for users.

      2023 Royal Enfield Classic 350 Bobber Render – In 7 New Colours

      by

      Royal Enfield has plans to launch multiple new motorcycles based on their 350cc platform – Bobber 350 is one of them2023 Royal Enfield Classic 350 Bobber RenderRoyal Enfield already has a single-seater option on the Classic 350. You must be thinking that’s it, right? That’s the Classic 350 Bobber. No. As the name suggests, it is just a single-seater variant of the Classic 350. A bobber is not a cruiser motorcycle with the back seat removed. It is much more than that.Royal Enfield has plans to launch a proper bobber based on their new Classic 350. It is expected to arrive in the showroom sometime next year. Ahead of that, here is a render version of the same. Please note that this Classic 350 Bobber Render is a work of imagination and has not been commissioned or approved by Royal Enfield.Royal Enfield Classic 350 Bobber RenderThis reimagined Classic 350 Bobber is digitally created by our rendering artist Pratyush Rout. A lot of thought process goes into creating a bobber motorcycle. In the render, you can see that the wheelbase has been extended quite a bit more than the standard Classic 350.The ground clearance is lowered to give the rider that low-slung riding position. The handlebar is raised too. And then the leather-wrapped, coil spring suspended single-seat adorns the total look of the motorcycle.2023 Royal Enfield Classic 350 Bobber RenderThe Vintage Red colour gives the motorcycle that mandatory old-world charm. How can we talk about a Royal Enfield motorcycle without mentioning its curvaceous body panels? It’s like peanut butter without peanuts. The sculpted metallic fuel tank in the render is a little different from the Classic 350 cruiser. This redesigned fuel tank gives the motorcycle that bobber feel.The render also gets bar-end rear view mirrors finished in black. The engine compartment gets a blacked-out finish to give a sporty appeal. The Classic 350 Bobber render also gets some side body panels. No more, no less. Just the right amount. The render also gets a chrome-finished exhaust tip to add to the panache of the Bobber motorcycle.Finishing off the old world charm are the round headlights and round tail lights with chrome surround, round indicators and round instrument cluster. 2023 Royal Enfield Classic 350 Bobber also gets the tripper display to handle navigation and phone connectivity.2023 Royal Enfield Classic 350 Bobber RenderEngine and SpecsThe render also gets a telescopic front suspension like the Classic 350 cruiser. The rear twin shocks have been replaced with a center-mounted rear mono-shock unit. The Classic 350 Bobber render gets the same J-Series engine displacing 349 cc and developing 20.2 bhp of power @6100 RPM and 27 Nm of torque @4000 RPM.The Classic 350 cruiser motorcycle weighs 195 kg and the Bobber could weigh around the same. The cruiser motorcycle in production also gets spoked wheels at the front and back which our Bobber render also retains. The Bobber also carries over the front and rear disc brakes equipped with dual-channel ABS.[embedded content][embedded content]Bobber motorcycles usually come with smaller tyres both at the front and back and our render reflects the same. Considering the revisions and the changes to the motorcycle, it is very logical to assume that the Classic 350 Bobber render can be around Rs 30,000 dearer than the Classic 350. There are multiple reports about the possibility of a Classic 350 Bobber launch in 2023. If the Bobber motorcycle looks anything like our rendering artist imagined, we’re in for a treat. More

      by

      With mid-size segment registering strong growth, Hero MotoCorp is getting ready to tap this space with two new 300cc bikes2023 Hero 300cc Motorcycles – XPulse 300, XPulse 300T and Xtreme 300SWhile it’s the country’s largest two-wheeler manufacturer, Hero MotoCorp has a fairly lopsided portfolio, maxing out at 200cc range. As consumer preferences are evolving, Hero will be looking to diversify its portfolio. It could start with mid-size segment that has been witnessing strong growth, with multiple new products launched in recent years.In the earlier set of spy shots, only two motorcycles of Hero were spied. As revealed in latest spy shots by Sarathi of KALKI, Hero MotoCorp is working on three new bikes, an ADV, an ADV tourer and a fully-faired sportsbike. These are likely to have a 300cc motor and could be named XPulse 300, XPulse 300T and Xtreme 300S. Launch is expected in 2023. While engine will be same, power and torque output may be adjusted for each of these 300cc bikes.The Three New Hero Motorcycles – Xtreme 300S, Xpulse 300T and Xpulse 300.Hero XPulse 300 and Xpulse 300 TXPulse 300 ADVs and its faired sibling will be using a trellis frame, which will be a first for Hero MotoCorp. Hero’s 450RR Dakar Rally motorcycle does have a trellis frame, but that bike is not commercially produced. XPulse 300 concept was showcased at Hero World 2020 event with a new motor and trellis frame. It is possible that launch of Hero 300cc bikes could have been delayed due to the pandemic.Some of the key features of Hero XPulse 300 include raised front fender, aggressive headlamp cowl with compact windscreen, trendy rear view mirrors, skeletal body and rugged engine bash plate. The bike is likely to get a full-digital instrument console with Bluetooth-based connectivity features. XPulse 300 has wire-spoke wheels with knobby tyres, which highlight its off-roading capabilities.New Hero XPulse 300T and Xpulse 300Wheel size could be similar to Himalayan that has 21-inch front and 17-inch rear wheel. Braking setup comprises disc brakes at both ends and dual-channel ABS could be offered as standard. The bike has USD front forks and monoshock suspension at rear.New Hero Xpulse 300 cc RangeXpulse 300T can be seen with a different styling, more suited for being an adnture tourer. Upon launch, XPulse 300 range will take on rivals such as Royal Enfield Himalayan, Yezdi Adventure, KTM 390 Adventure and BMW G310GS.Hero Xtreme 300SOverall silhouette of Xtreme 300S appears familiar to Xtreme 200S. Some key features include alloy wheels, aggressive front fascia, front cowl mounted rear view mirrors and prominent fairing.New Hero Xtreme 300S Fully FairedRiding stance is fairly committed with low-set handlebar and rear-set footpegs. Things like brakes and suspension will be the same as that of XPulse 300. However, suspension will be stiffer and with less travel on the faired bike.[embedded content][embedded content]Powering Hero’s 300cc bikes will be a new liquid cooled motor that should be capable of generating around 30 bhp of max power and 25 Nm of peak torque. It is likely to get a 6-speed gearbox. Hero Xtreme 300S will compete with rivals such as Apache RR310, KTM RC 390 and BMW G310RR. Hero is likely to offer its 300cc bikes at an affordable price point, making them accessible to a wider customer base. More

      Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 Side View Detailed – New Spy Shots

      by

      Himalayan 450 will get a larger 450cc engine which will make more power and torque to compete with the 390 AdventureRoyal Enfield Himalayan 450 Side View. Image – Motorcycle NewsRoyal Enfield has been developing the Himalayan 450 for quite some time now. New motorcycle will stay true to the precedent set by its 411cc sibling. It will be marketed as an adventure tourer in India competing with BMW G310GS and KTM 390 Adventure. After the exhaust design was spied a few days back, new spy shots reveal side view.The updates expected on the Himalayan 450 will make it even more capable off-road and even more relaxed on-road. In latest spy shots from the UK by Motorcycle News, we can see that the new motorcycle gets significantly broader seats to accommodate riders of all frames and sizes.Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 – New Spy ShotsIt is also expected to get comfier cushioning to give riders more support and comfort. This will also make sure that riders can ride farther on one stretch before needing to take a break further aiding Himalayan 450’s touring abilities.Rider’s triangle also seems to be better than Himalayan 411. This will aid the rider in daily commutes and as well as highway runs. Pillion seat looks like an upgrade too as it looks broader and better cushioned in comparison to Himalayan 411. The pillion will also appreciate the placement of the rear footpegs and big grab handle beneath them.Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 Spied in the UKHimalayan will get a bigger 450cc single-cylinder petrol engine with an overhead camshaft. It will get oil cooling. It is expected to make more power and more torque than Himalayan 411. This will make it an even worthy opponent to the likes of KTM 390 Adventure and BMW G310GS. The engine might be coupled to a brand new 6-speed transmission instead of the 5-speed unit on Himalayan 411.The motorcycle will get spoked wheels at the front and rear. Wheels are expected to be 21” at front and 17” at the rear like Himalayan 411. Ground clearance on the newer model seems to be higher. This might be due to beefier forks with longer suspension travel. Final production version of Himalayan 450 will be slightly bigger than the outgoing Himalayan 411 and is also expected to weigh a little more due to the bigger engine.Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 FeaturesHimalayan 450 will get tubular frames at front and rear to hold luggage, panniers and jerry cans. It will also get a new vertically mounted instrument cluster which will easily fall in rider’s peripheral vision. Other expected features on the bigger Himalayan include, dual-channel switchable ABS, slip and assist clutch, some kind of riding modes with different throttle maps, GPS navigation on the instrumentation and maybe even ride-by-wire to make the throttle response better. In the video below, we can see the Himalayan 450 on test in India.[embedded content][embedded content]The Himalayan will come with off-road specific features too. Even though Royal Enfield hasn’t made it official, we can expect a robust suspension, capable engine, stiff chassis and durable components. Royal Enfield might even consider more off-road friendly components as an option at least as Hero does with its Xpulse 200 in the form of the Rally Kit. When launched, it will be a worthy competitor to the more road-biased KTM 390 Adventure, BMW G310GS and the upcoming Hero Xpulse 300. More

      New Honda Activa 7G Scooter Teased Ahead Of Launch ?

      by

      Honda is the highest-selling scooter manufacturer in India whose sales charts are led by Activa seriesNew Honda Activa 7G Scooter Teased?Honda is currently a default choice when it comes to scooters as it is the highest-selling scooter brand in India. When scooter sales figures are analyzed, among all other scooters in India, Activa sells the most. It alone sells more than the immediate next 8 highest-selling scooters combined.Activa is currently offered in 6G guise and sells like hot cakes. My own family bought one without even giving it a second thought. Such is its popularity. Honda is synonymous with scooterization in India. So much so, that we wanted Forza 350 maxi-scooter to launch in India instead of the generic-looking CB300F street bike that was launched yesterday.New Honda Activa 7GHonda Activa range currently comprises Activa 6G and Activa 125. Activa 6G also has a sporty sibling in the form of Dio which recently got limited edition colour schemes to give more swag to an already swaggy scooter. Same idea is also implied on Activa 125 in the form of Grazia which comes off as its sportier alternative.Honda just dropped a new teaser on social media with a “Coming Soon” phrase slapped onto it. We can see the face of a scooter. The scooter is greyed out, but its face is distinguishable. It is of standard Activa and not the Activa 125. We can say for sure because Activa 125 doesn’t get its front turn indicators flanking the headlight.New Honda Activa 7G Scooter Teased?Instead, they’re found on a chrome beltline above the front mudguard. But standard Activa gets front turn indicators flanking its headlights as seen in the new teaser. So, Honda seems to be prepping Activa 7G for the festive season to boost already unrivaled sales. Not a lot is known about Activa 7G as info that could be extracted from the teaser is fairly meek. But in Honda fashion, we can expect more teasers soon.What To Expect?Honda 7G is unlikely to be a significant update over 6G like 6G was over 5G. Because Activa 6G was the one that brought BS6 transition and a host of new updates. Activa 7G is likely to get the same powertrain which is a 110cc motor making 7.68 bhp and 8.79 Nm. Activa 7G will get subtle changes over 6G.Honda Activa 7G will get all the strengths of 6G like, fuel efficiency, boot space, 692 mm seat height, low step-through floor board, silent starter motor, and a lot more. It will even get an external fuel filler cap that upcoming Hero sporty 125cc scooter miss out on. Honda could make the semi-digital instrument cluster and LED headlights as standard fitment on Activa 7G which was optional with Deluxe variant on Activa 6G.As it is a generation leap, Activa 7G can get some tweaks to 6G’s engine too to make it a little more fuel efficient. Yamaha offers a mild-hybrid tech on Fascino and Ray ZR and Honda could fit something similar on the highest-selling scooter in India. The Japanese brand is likely to raise the price too. Right now, Activa 6G costs Rs. 73K for Standard trim and 75K for Deluxe trim and competes with TVS Jupiter 110, Hero Pleasure+, Hero Maestro Edge 110, and Honda’s own Dio. More

      Mahindra XUV900 Electric SUV Render In 6 Colours – New Flagship

      by

      Mahindra Born Electric SUVs are expected to benefit from the recently signed component sharing agreement with the VW GroupMahindra XUV900 Electric SUV RenderMahindra’s aspirations to make its passenger vehicle brand truly global is about to receive a much needed shot in the arm soon. The SUV specialist is on the verge of world premiering a whole new family of EVs on August 15 in the UK under the Born Electric banner.As many as 5 new electric SUVs will be unveiled at a grand event in Oxfordshire, UK and one of which is likely to be called XUV900. Based on the teasers, our designer Pratyush Rout has come up with a speculative rendering of the flagship Mahindra electric SUV. Please note that the renderings in this article are not commissioned or approved by Mahindra. They are based on artist’s imagination and teasers released by Mahindra.Mahindra XUV900 Electric SUV – A new eraAs you can see, the automaker has gone for a completely fresh design identity in-line with the global trends. The overused Jeep-inspired 7-slot front grill has finally been put to rest. The C-shaped LED lighting signature at the front sets the tone for what can be described as sleek styling. That said, the overall design of the front fascia may polarize opinions.The profile is all out maximizing the XUV900’s aerodynamic efficiency. Smooth sheet metal surfaces, flush door handles, cameras instead of ORVMs, sharp side skirts and aero-optimized wheels are designed to keep the drag co-efficient as low as possible. For a car of this size, no aerodynamic gain is too small not to be pursued. For instance, the optimization of the wheels alone could earn over 5 km in range which is crucial.Mahindra XUV900 Electric SUV RenderNothing much about the interior is known as of now save for the sketches teased in a latest video. The new breed of electric Mahindras are expected to be equipped with a squarish multi-function two-spoke steering wheel, configurable colour instrument panel display, and of course, a modern infotainment system with a plethora of features. The design, trims, colours and materials used are expected to reflect international tastes rather than being India-specific.Born ElectricThe Born Electric Mahindra SUVs are designed in the UK at MADE (Mahindra Advanced Design Europe) under the leadership of the brand’s new design chief Pratap Bose. Majority of the development is being handled by Mahindra North American Technical Center.Mahindra recently entered into an agreement with the Volkswagen Group to share the critical components German giant’s successful MEB electric platform which underpins the likes of VW ID4 and Audi Q4 e-tron. The partnership will not only allow Mahindra to arrive at the global EV scene with a competitive package but will also help reduce development costs and lead time.[embedded content][embedded content]We expect the five SUVs to debut in their concept avatars on August 15. Market-ready versions are likely to arrive two years down the line. With the new products, the company will have an increased focus on markets like Europe and North America. More
