This week has been quite an interesting one for the auto industry as we got some news about exciting upcoming motorcycles and more. If you weren’t keeping up with the news then this wrapup will bring you up to speed.
Royal Enfield

This week started off with some spy shots of two upcoming motorcycles from Royal Enfield – The Royal Enfield Scrambler 650 and Royal Enfield Classic 650. The spy shots have revealed a lot about both the bikes including their underpinnings,features and more. Here are the details.

Later in the week we also got to see spy shots of the Royal Enfield Hunter 450, an upcoming roadster bike from the manufacturer to rival the KTM 390 Duke and the Triumph Speed 400. What’s special about this bike is that it will be Royal Enfield’s second motorcycle featuring a liquid-cooled engine after the Himalayan 450.
Husqvarna

Husqvarna Motorcycles had recently launched the Svartpilen 401 and the Vitpilen 250 recently. Now the brand is planning on bringing the 2024 Svartpilen 250 to India. We can confirm this now as we have obtained homologation documents that hint at the possible launch. Here’s everything you need to know about the upcoming bike.
Bajaj

Bajaj finally launched the 2024 Pulsar NS200 and Pulsar NS160, and both bikes now come with a re-worked headlight design and a whole new set of features including a fully digital instrument console. Here’s everything that’s new.

Bajaj also brought the same updates to the Pulsar NS125 but sadly the bike misses out on a few features that its larger capacity siblings come with.
Ather

This week started off with Ather Energy confirming the launch date of their Family electric scooter, the Ather Rizta. The scooter comes with a typical family scooter like design with a large floorboard area and spacious seat. We expect it to be launched at a price of Rs 1.30 lakh ex-showroom. Here’s when it is set to launch.
Vida

Hero Vida reintroduced the Hero Vida V1 Plus. It is the smaller battery capacity sibling of the Vida V1 Pro. With the reintroduction, Vida has offered a massive discount on the V1 Plus.
Honorable Mention

February was an eventful month in terms of launches and updates, we got to see many models like the Hero Mavrick 440 to the 2024 Bajaj Pulsar N150 and Pulsar N160 being launched. We expect March 2024 to be similar, so here is a list of two-wheelers we expect to see launched in this month.

Pulsar reviewName is enough to buy this bike, rest its good with its performance and comfort is good in long ride, it give immense pleasure to ride this beast. Good performance and style make it more reliable and worth it. As far as i have ride it this gives thrill to drive. Comfortable seats and have good ground clearance, good in off roading as well as pick up of this bike is amazing and that's been enough to make any ride comfortable. Yes, Bajaj is the one who brought revolution in indian two wheeler market and they are doing great job with pulsar and each time they make it more comfortable and more convenient. You must have this in your garage.Read More
Its amazing. Dont think too much, just get oneIt is a beautiful bike- that never feels boring. The acceleration is undefeatable! and while it is sporty, it is surprisingly practical too. It's neither too heavy nor too tall, unlike the Himalayan. Its an absolute attention grabber and I love the colour I chose (brava blue). To sum it up- I chose this bike because it was beautiful, it was fast and it seemed practical enough for my use. I use this bike as my daily, and it has never failed me. It feels stable, planted, easy to manage. It always feels like i'm in control, I have not had a feeling of anxiety that it'll wobble, slip or be uncontrollable even once that I have ridden this bike even on high speeds. The fat rear tyre makes me confident even in rain. the feels grippy even on wet roads, loose gravel- though the bike did splash water on my back in rain, I just got the rear mudguard extender from Enfield and now it's not a problem, though I believe it should've been company fitted. The suspensions are comfortable for daily use, and even in Ghaziabad's bumpy roads I almost do not feel a thing. The engine yearns to red line, the bike wants to go fast and I love it every time I pull the throttle. The mileage is reasonable, with 25 on normal city commute (in power mode, using eco mode pushes that up to around 28. I can manage to get 32 if I ride carefully, maintaining gears to keep the engine at 4-5k rpm and not pulling the throttle/ yanking the breaks unnecessarily) It does get hot in the summers, but honestly I can smell the engine getting hot more than I feel it. Its hard to explain really, but hot air does not blow on my leg when riding so that's good, occasionally the win direction may align and the hot air may blow onto your face- but again thats rare. I am a bit conflicted on highway rides, because it is fun to ride on the highway, but the seat does make your buns feel sore after a while, but its manageable. highway mileage is around 28-29 in power mode, and around 30-32 in eco mode. I would recommend this bike everybody over any other bikes in this segment (except the adv tourers, if you can manage them ofcourse). Anyone can buy this bike if i'm being honest, Its fun, its not tall, its not heavy, its not too expensive to maintain, the breaks are reliable, Its stable, the riding posture is good, and its not scary to ride. you connect with the bike in the first ride. I love it, and i'm pretty sure you'll love it too. just go for it.Read More
My Ather Rizta ZSmooth Riding and I like the drive belt sound which is different from all. Good pickup in zip mode. Eco mode is very useful in rural drive. We can identify the vehicle, when our aged person using this vehicle very good vehicle. Very comfortable and easy to handle in highway and rural. The sitting space is very good. This is actually a family vehicle, a small family husband, wife and two kid can travel in this bike very comfortably. Very good vehicle. It can buy for all people. Eco mode is comfortable for aged persons. Zip mode can enjoy by youngsters. Since it is easy to handle even ladies can also use is easily. Since boot space is comfortable, we can use for carrying our family purchases. In total all sours of people can use this vehicle.Read More
the best everThe Bajaj Pulsar NS200 is one of India’s most popular 200 cc streetfighter motorcycles, known for its powerful engine and sporty character. It’s powered by a 199.5 cc, liquid-cooled, 4-valve DTS-i engine that makes around 24.1–24.5 PS of power and ~18.7 Nm of torque, paired with a smooth 6-speed gearbox that delivers strong acceleration and a top speed near 140 km/h, making it fun for both city rides and highway cruising.Read More
Beast named bearIm a tall person and i needed a tall bike and the looks of this golden shadow is just beautiful. I would have chosen interceptor 650 but this just was it when i first sat on it in the showroom. Cant get over of it. Posture has to be perfectly aligned will hurt if you don't sit right and the pull is amazing, even on the 5th gear you can feel the bike wanting to run ahead loved the overall experience, needs a seat change and tires can be better, my personal opinion If you are tall and need a 650cc from royal enfield id definitely suggest this bike way too good but, there is always a but be careful with the suspension, heavier the person better the suspension, the pull is great (torque) better than a gt most people would disagree but whatever.Read More
