The past couple of days witnessed numerous new and exciting developments, including an upcoming Scrambler from Royal Enfield and updates on KTM’s all-new RC 390. Here’s a brief look at all the action from the past five days:  

Royal Enfield Scrambler?

Just last week, Royal Enfield trademarked the name ‘Royal Enfield Scram’ and passed all legal formalities for the application. The most obvious direction the company could take is the introduction of a 650cc scrambler for the global market. Here’s the other possibility. 

2021 KTM RC 390 Launch Soon

KTM’s all-new RC 390 has been spotted without camo and it looks a lot closer to production. The new design and colour scheme give us a better idea of what we could expect to see at dealerships soon. Speaking of which, select KTM dealerships have started accepting unofficial bookings for a token amount between Rs 1,000 and Rs 10,000. 

Yamaha R15 V3-based Moped Launched

The R15 V3, which has proven to be a versatile platform for Yamaha, has managed to spawn not one but multiple motorcycles based on the same engine. Its newest progeny is the Sniper 155, an R15 V3-based moped, developed for the Philippines. Here’s what makes it so special.

2021 Triumph Bonneville Bobber Launched 

It’s been a long time coming and finally, Triumph’s 2021 Bonneville Bobber is here in India. It features several mechanical updates and a few cosmetic changes that push the price of the bike to Rs 11.75 lakh (ex-showroom India). Here’s what you get for the price.

Dayang ADV 350 Launched

Here’s yet another rip-off from China, the Dayang ADV 350, a blatant copy of the Honda ADV150. It’s powered by a 333cc single, putting out 29.2PS and 31.5Nm. The scooter does have some light off-road capabilities too thanks to a long-travel suspension setup and dual-purpose tyres. However, the highlight of the scooter has to be its feature list. Here is what it has to offer.
