Upcoming Two-wheeler Launches In April 2024

Family electric scooters, ADVs and more, here’s what we expect in April 2024

March certainly was an eventful month and we got to see some interesting launches and updates.  But now that March is out of the way and April is here, let us take a look at the bikes and scooters we believe will be coming to India this month. 

Ather Rizta

Ather Energy has been in the news a lot thanks to the multiple teasers of the Ather Rizta electric scooter that the brand has been putting out, and now the pre-bookings for the e-scooter have begun. According to Ather it will be launched on Ather community day which is set to take place on April 6, 2024.

Bajaj

Rajiv Bajaj, the managing director of Bajaj Auto recently confirmed that the Bajaj Pulsar NS400 will be coming to India in April. He said this in an interview with CNBC TV18, specifying that the bike will be launched by the end of the last financial year or the beginning of this one. Implying that the launch could take place by the end of March or beginning of April.

We expect the bike to come at a price of Rs 1.7 lakh ex-showroom which will make it more affordable than the Bajaj Dominar 400. For perspective, the Dominar comes at an ex-showroom Delhi price of Rs 2,29,781. 

Other than the NS400, we can also expect the 2024 Bajaj Pulsar N250 to be launched this month as well. We saw spy shots of the bike being tested and the images have revealed a lot.

Hero

Hero MotoCorp had unveiled two scooters at EICMA 2023, the Hero Xoom 125 and Hero Xoom 160. The Xoom 125 is the sportier and more powerful sibling of the Hero Xoom 110 and the Xoom 160 is a maxi-style scooter. We expect both the scooters to be launched in India this month.

The Xoom 125R could come at a price of Rs 1 lakh ex-showroom, whereas the Xoom 160 would likely come at a Rs 1.45 lak (ex-showroom).

Husqvarna Svartpilen 250

Husqvarna Motorcycles first came to India by launching the Husqvarna Svartpilen 250 and Husqvarna Vitpilen 250. But in 2024, the brand decided to update their lineup by bringing the 2024 Husqvarna Svartpilen 401 along with the Vitpilen 250. 

The fact that the brand hadn’t brought the Svartpilen 250 surprised many, but now we know that they are in fact planning on launching it soon as evident by the fact that the model has been homologated recently. We believe the bike will be coming to India in April and could be priced at around Rs 2,19,000 (ex-showroom).

Indian Scout

Indian is planning on launching the 2024 Indian Scout. The brand had teased the launch on their social media revealing that the new bike will be launching on April 2, 2024. 

The Scout is a cruiser that is powered by a 1133cc, liquid-cooled, V-twin engine which produces 99.3PS and 98Nm. 

BMW R 1300 GS

The BMW R 1300 GS is an ADV offering from BMW Motorrad which intends to replicate the success of the BMW R 1250 GS. The new bike comes with a whole new design and engine along with a few tweaks to the underpinnings. 

The bike will be powered by a 1300cc liquid-cooled boxer engine which produces 145PS and 149.1Nm. We expect the price to be somewhere around the 24 lakh mark ex-showroom.
