Royal Enfield Meteor 350 Features Revealed Gets Bluetooth Connectivity Navigation USB Charging LED Headlight

Watch Video Review

Yesterday, we learned how much power and torque the upcoming Royal Enfield Meteor 350 will produce, and you can read all about it here. Today, the same leaked brochure images have also given us some very interesting information about the features. While the news about engine output was slightly disappointing, the Meteor’s equipment list is quite a pleasant surprise.

The bike will get a twin-pod semi-digital instrument cluster equipped with Bluetooth connectivity and even a small colour TFT screen. Thanks to the phone connectivity option, it will be able to display turn-by-turn navigation on the TFT screen. To ensure your phone doesn’t die out while feeding you navigation, RE will also equip the Meteor with USB charging, meaning you don’t have to faff about with aftermarket accessories.

The analogue speedometer pod will also have an inset digital display with information like gear position, an Eco indicator and a service reminder, in addition to the usual odometer and clock readouts. And now to answer the million dollar question, yes, the Meteor will get a fuel gauge! The speedometer itself reads up to quite an ambitious figure of 160kmph, but you’ll only ever be able to use around 65 percent of that on level ground. RE is also expected to equip the Meteor with LED DRL rings on the headlight and tail lamp.

With all these details coming hard and fast over the last couple of days, it’s quite clear that our long and eventful wait for the Meteor is finally nearing an end. We expect an official launch sometime in the latter two weeks of this month at an expected price tag of around Rs 1.75 lakh for the base variant. The full extent of these features will only be available on the top-spec Supernova variant. For more details about how many variants and colour options will be offered, click here.

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 Cruiser India Launch Tomorrow

Honda is all set to launch its first small-capacity retro motorcycle tomorrow. The recent trademark images suggest that the upcoming motorcycle might be called H’Ness, and cost around Rs 1.95 lakh (ex-showroom). There were rumours about the upcoming bike being the Honda Rebel 300. However, going by the recently-released teaser of the exhaust note , it is likely to pack an old-school air-cooled long-stroke fuel-injected motor displacing somewhere around 350-400cc. That’s a complete departure from the single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine in the Rebel. Expect plenty of low-end torque accompanied by the traditional Honda-levels of refinement in the upcoming bike. For representation The Honda H'Ness is expected to come with the same roadster-like design language as the Honda CB1100 EX. It is likely to feature a traditional front fork, twin rear shock absorbers and disc brake on both ends with ABS as standard. For an added retro appeal, expect it to use spoke wheels with tubed ...
