Bikes And Scooters Launched In India In March 2024
From new colours to new superbikes, this month wasn’t disappointing
While March 2024 didn’t exactly bring what we thought it would, the month was still quite interesting and we got quite a lot of rather exciting two-wheelers. Here’s a brief overview of what we saw this month:
KTM RC And Adventure Lineup
The KTM RC and Adventure lineup got some interesting updates in the form of new colours. In the RC lineup, KTM gave the RC 200, RC 390 and RC 125 the same colours that were earlier unveiled internationally.
The Adventure lineup has received a similar treatment with the KTM 390 Adventure and KTM 250 Adventure coming in fresh shades. All these KTM bikes look really good and this update has brought a breath of fresh air to them.
Hero Pleasure Plus Xtec Sports
The Hero Pleasure Plus is a 110cc scooter from Hero MotorCorp and one of the most affordable offerings from the brand. Hero has updated the scooter by launching a new variant called the Hero Pleasure Plus Xtec Sports and it comes with stylish graphics and a few other important bits. Here’s everything you need to know.
Suzuki V-Strom 800 DE
The Suzuki VStrom 800 DE, the new flagship ADV from Suzuki India was also launched in India in March. It is powered by a 776cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine which produces 84.3PS and 78Nm.
The V-Strom 800 DE goes up against the Honda XL750 Transalp, Triumph Tiger 900 and the BMW F 850 GS. And the good thing is that Suzuki launched the bike at a price of Rs 10,30,000 (ex-showroom Delhi), which is significantly lower than all of its rivals.
Triumph Rocket 3 Storm
Triumph launched the 2024 version of the Rocket 3 and the updated bike is now called the Triumph Rocket 3 Storm. The update has brought some improvements in terms of performance and now the power cruiser makes 15PS and 4Nm more than before, bringing the output figures to 182PS and 225Nm.
The improvements in terms of performance have obviously come at a premium of Rs 2,09,000. The Rocket 3 Storm R now comes at a price of Rs 21,99,000 ex-showroom, whereas the Rocket 3 Strom GT which is the touring focused variant now comes at a price of Rs 22,59,000 ex-showroom.

It now comes with revised electronics and a slightly raised swingarm pivot for better stability when exiting the corners. It now comes at a price of Rs 28,00,000 (ex-showroom) and competes with the Kawasaki Z H2 and the Triumph Speed Triple 1200.

- Value for moneyBest adventure bike in this price range. It's underrated and somewhat cost less than Transalp. Weight of bike doesn't feel, thanks to its low centre of gravity. If you want a mile muncher with off road capabilities, then go for it! Suspensions are also adjustable with rebound and compression damping. It will be the best bike you will buy.Read More
- Triumph rocket 3Looks super and easy to handle according to looks the rocket 3 was been booked and u can easy ride this bikes in traffic but the mist is the bike is some more weight compared to normal bikes and this can handle with single hand for good performance Most comfortable and you can easily cruise the bike and easy to handle on Highways and the comfort for long rides is superb even you can cruise in 120 without any fear and it's the best bike too as per the looks and performance Yes, I would recommend this bike for younger youth because some kind of heat would generate when you are riding in traffic but rest of the thing is superb and the pops( blast sound ) is top notch i recommend to buy this without any fearRead More
- HERO PLEASURE PLUS REVIEW (PERSONAL EXPERIENCE)The New Hero Pleasure Plus is a very improved version from the previous generation and perfectly engineered for Indian roads also the engine used in this scooty is totally new and refined not like activa but yeah it is refined and nice the pickup is also very good and if we talk about suspension so personally I don't like the suspension coz it's on much stiffer side you can feel road bumps on the handlebars but yes there's no vibration in body like the jupiter coz pleasures plus engine is refined and also if we talk about the styling so it is on the funkier side and If we talk about mileage so it is around approx 40-50 kmpl what I had Calculated it can differ from person to personRead More
