Top Bike Launches Expected In January 2026

2026 is off to an interesting start. Why, you ask? Well, pretty much all the interesting two-wheeler launches and updates that were expected to take place by the end of 2025 are now likely to happen this month. Here is our list of two-wheelers expected to be launched in the coming weeks: 

BMW F 450 GS

The BMW F 450 GS was easily one of the most hotly-anticipated unveilings at EICMA 2025. The bike was initially expected to make its India debut at IBW 2025; however, the brand had to postpone the launch, likely due to the venue change. Now, this 420cc parallel-twin adventure motorcycle is expected to be launched this month. The base price is likely to be around Rs 4.50 lakh (ex-showroom). It will be BMW Motorrad’s second most affordable bike in India, after the BMW G 310 RR. More importantly, it’s meant to be the successor to the BMW G 310 GS, but a lot more capable in every way.

Royal Enfield Bullet 650:

The Royal Enfield Bullet 650, unveiled last month at MotoVerse 2025, is likely to be launched some time this month. It’s every bit as you’d expect: a familiar yet tasteful design of the Bullet 350 but looks beefier in every way. It even has the performance to match, thanks to the Royal Enfield Classic 650-borrowed engine. Expect it to cost around Rs 3.40 lakh (ex-showroom).

Brixton Crossfire 500 Storr

Similar to the BMW F 450 GS, the Brixton Crossfire 500 Storr was also expected to make its India debut at IBW 2025, but the launch was postponed. The Crossfire 500 Storr is a middleweight adventure-touring motorcycle featuring a neo-retro design that reminds us of the Norden 901. It also has comfortable ergonomics, and a healthy spec-sheet for a bike of its segment. The Crossfire 500 Storr is expected to be launched this month, possibly at a price of around Rs 5.50 lakh (ex-showroom).

FB Mondial Piega 452

The Italian bike maker, FB Mondial, is expected to make an impactful return to the Indian market with the launch of the FB Mondial Piega 452. It is a proper streetfighter which will be the perfect rival to the Aprilia Tuono 457. That said, the expected price of this Italian motorcycle may not be that cheap as it comes with a unique single-sided swingarm. It could cost around Rs 5 lakh (ex-showroom), which will be about Rs 1.05 lakh more than the Aprilia. FB Mondial used to sell the HPS300, a 250cc scrambler-themed bike for a short period of time before the company exited the market a few years ago.

A 125cc Bajaj Bike

Bajaj Auto is expected to launch a new Pulsar bike some time this month. Currently the brand has three 125cc bikes under the Pulsar family: the Bajaj Pulsar 125, Bajaj Pulsar NS125 and the Bajaj Pulsar N125. This new bike is expected to use the same platform as the N125, but may have a different design, and possibly different feature-set too. It is expected to be similar to the Pulsar N125, which retails at Rs 93,798(ex-showroom Delhi).

A Sportier Simple Energy E-scooter

Bengaluru-based EV manufacturer, Simple Energy is expected to launch a new e-scooter in the coming weeks. It could rival the Ather 450 Apex, and could have comparable levels of performance and tech. Currently the Simple One is priced at Rs 1.72 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). The updated scooter could be closer to around Rs 1.90 lakh, if Simple uses a bigger battery pack, and a more powerful motor.
