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.
