BMW G 310 RR & TVS Apache RR 310TVS’s collaboration with BMW Motorrad, which didn’t quite live up to its high expectations. Although the likes of the TVS Apache RR 310 or the BMW G 310 GS and the G 310 R, seem to have found its niche audience

KTM 390 Duke and Husqvarna Svartpilen 401Launched last year, both the KTM 390 Duke and the Husqvarna Svartpilen 401 are powered by the same 399cc liquid-cooled Euro 5.2-ready engine, producing 44.86PS of power and 39Nm of torque. The Duke is more aggressive in design, while the Husky is more subdued. The Husqvarna lacks cornering ABS, alloy wheels, and riding modes, making it Rs 20,000 more affordable.

Triumph Speed 400 and Scrambler 400X Launched one after the other, both the Speed 400 and the Scrambler 400X are equipped with the same 398.15cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine, producing 40PS at 8000rpm and 37.5Nm at 6500rpm. The Speed 400 is a roadster with a lower seat height and a neo-retro design, while the Scrambler 400X is off-road biased, featuring a taller seat height and overall scrambler aesthetics.

Harley-Davidson X440 and Hero Mavrick Launched last year, the Harley-Davidson X440 boasts a strong neo-retro stance, drawing inspiration from the iconic XR1200. It features a retro-styled round LED headlight and a modern LED DRL strip with 'Harley-Davidson' branding. Following its launch, Hero introduced the Mavrick 440, featuring a more modern and contemporary style. However,powering the two motorcycles are the same 440cc air-oil-cooled single-cylinder engine, delivering 28PS at 6000rpm and 38Nm (36Nm on the Mavrick).
