From new two-wheeler launches to interesting future insights, last week was rather busy. Here’s our pick of the top five most interesting developments from the two-wheeler space: 

 

Yamaha Rides In The BS6 FZ25

After making us wait for months, Yamaha finally launched the BS6 FZ25 in the Indian market. With the addition of the new motorcycle, all the popular bikes in its portfolio are now BS6 compliant. However, the new Yamaha FZ25 BS6 comes with a shocking price hike of Rs 17,200! Find out the reasoning for the massive premium here. 

 

Hero Xtreme 160R Tested

We finally got to test the much-awaited Xtreme 160R which got delayed due to the COVID-19 lockdown across the county. The Xtreme 160R delivers on the styling front and even has the numbers to match its rivals on paper. But, what about real-world performance? Here are the answers: Hero Xtreme 160R Road Test Review.

 

Mojo Receives A BS6 Revival 

While the BS6 emission norms rung the death knell for many motorcycles in the Indian market, it also gave an unlikely bike a new lease of life. Mahindra launched the BS6 version of the Mahindra Mojo in our market and unlike its predecessor, it will be only available in a single UT variant. While styling and features remain identical to the older bike, it gets a fuel-injected motor and dual-channel ABS comes standard. But the main question is are there any buyers for the 2020 Mahindra Mojo? 

 

Honda’s Litre-Class Monster Incoming

 Honda added a much-needed dose of adrenaline to the Indian two-wheeler market by opening bookings for the 2020 CBR1000RR-R. The upcoming Honda superbike is the most powerful motorcycle from Honda to go on sale in India. Headline figures for the new bike come in the form of 217.5PS power and 201kg kerb weight, which makes it one of the lightest bikes in its class. Expected launch details, features, underpinnings and more details here: Honda CBR1000RR-R India Launch Soon.

 

You Can Buy A Legit MotoGP Bike!

The base price for the motorcycle is an eye-popping Rs 2.55 crore (without tax). Understandably, the bike isn’t road legal, but KTM will treat you like royalty.

Breaking Down BS6 Carburettors And Fuel Injection Explained

  It’s now been nearly 4 months since BS6 emission norms came into effect, and almost all the bikes and scooters sold in India have been updated to meet the stricter regulations. Most recent among these to receive the updates was the TVS Scooty Zest BS6 , which was launched a couple of days ago at Rs 58,640. Like all the BS6 updates we’ve seen so far, this new version is more expensive than its BS4 predecessor, by around Rs 6,000 in this case. And the biggest reason behind these price hikes is the addition of a fuel-injection system. So what exactly is it? And how did bikes work before fuel-injection came into the picture? Let’s take a look: To understand why a fuel-injection (FI) system is needed, we first need to understand its predecessor: the carburettor. Both FI and carburettors do the same job: mixing air and fuel in the correct proportions before it’s sent into the engine. The diagram above shows a carburettor’s layout. Air enters at the top, flows through a narrow con...

Honda HNess CB350 Variants Explained

  Watch Video Review   Honda has created quite the splash in the retro segment with the launch of its first classic motorcycle developed specifically for India , the Honda H’Ness CB350 . Like most of its portfolio, it is available in two variants. Here’s a detailed explanation of how different the features are in DLX and DLX Pro.

This variant is available in three colours: Pearl Nightstar Black with Spear Silver Metallic, Athletic Blue Metallic with Virtuous White and Matte Steel Black Metallic with Matte Massive Grey Metallic.
