If you thought the past couple of weeks were happening, this one has made an absolute mockery of them and we’ve been working our backsides off to bring you the hottest developments from EICMA 2022. Here’s everything you need to know:
QJMotor India-bound!
QJMotor is all set to kick start its Indian innings with four new motorcycles, ranging from 250cc to 500cc.
Royal Enfield News
Is a week even complete if there aren’t loads of Royal Enfield news? We think not! We first spotted the upcoming Scrambler 650, once again! Here’s when it could be launched. The brand also displayed a scrambler, one that could be the preview to the actual India-bound one. Check it out here.
The bikemaker finally unveiled what is arguably its much-awaited motorcycle, the Super Meteor 650. It looks properly retro but is packed with premium goodies. Have a look at it here. In typical Royal Enfield fashion, there are also a bunch of accessories on offer to kit your Super Meteor out. Here’s a list of them.
Honda News
It was quite a week for the Japanese bikemaker as well. Its streetfighter, the CB500F was first spotted in India. Will it be launched here? Check it out here!
The marquee updated its flagship cruiser, the CMX1100 Rebel at EICMA 2022, making it even more friendly to go the long distances. Next on the list for the brand was the CL500, a gorgeous yet purposeful scrambler. Check it out here. Showing its electrification intentions, Honda also showcased its first electric scooter for the European market. It boasts of swappable batteries and looks very promising.
These things said, what caught our fancy the most was the Honda Transalp. This middleweight ADV looks gorgeous and sounds perfect for our roads. So, will this Triumph Tiger 900 rival come to India? Find that out here.
Ducati News
The Italian marquee pulled the wraps off the 2023 range of the Scrambler 800. Here’s everything that’s new on Ducati’s most affordable range of bikes.
