Upcoming Two-Wheeler Launches Up To Rs 1.5 Lakh In 2022

Here's the list of sporty commuters nearing their launch in India

The sporty commuter motorcycle segment in India is witnessing a lot of attention. So if you are planning to buy a bike under Rs 1.5 lakh, maybe you should wait for a while as these bikes are likely to arrive soon.

TVS 125cc Affordable Commuter -

TVS recently entered the 125cc commuter segment with its Raider, and we are expecting the Hosur-based brand to launch a much affordable version of the same in 2022. The upcoming bike could be powered by the same 124.8cc single-cylinder air-cooled, fuel-injected engine. However, the power figures might vary. For reference, the Raider puts out 11.38PS and 11.2Nm. On the features front, the bike might get an LED headlight, disc brakes, a USB charging port, an idle stop-start system and a digital instrument cluster. However, the dash might miss out on turn-by-turn navigation. 

New generation Bajaj Pulsar 150 - 

The Bajaj Pulsar 150 has been the most popular Pulsar ever since it made its debut almost two decades back. While the Pulsar 150 still is a crowd favourite, it has started to show its age and we feel an update is around the corner. The upcoming iteration of the bike will be based on the new platform on which the Pulsar F250 and N250 are developed. Hence, the upcoming bike will get a new chassis, a new 150cc engine and a completely reworked design. 

New Bajaj Pulsar 180 -

Bajaj recently expanded its portfolio with the launch of the biggest Pulsars, the F250 and the N250. And, on this platform, the bike maker is likely to develop the new Pulsar 180 model as well. The new generation of the Pulsar 180 could get new features such as a new LED headlight, semi-digital instrument cluster and a completely new design.

Hero Xtreme 200S 4V - 

Hero has finally updated its entry-level ADV, the XPulse 200, with a few cosmetic and mechanical updates. Similarly, we are expecting the bike maker to bestow the same updates on its entry-level sportbike the Xtreme 200S. The updated version of the bike is likely to arrive in India in 2022 and feature a 4-valve setup for its 199.6cc engine that develops 18.08PS and 16.45Nm of torque. The Xtreme 200S is priced at Rs 1,27,364 (ex-showroom Delhi). Meanwhile, the upcoming Xtreme 200S 4V variant is expected to demand a premium of Rs 5,000 over the existing model.
