In the last week we, at BikeWale, did some important comparison reviews which a lot of you had been waiting for. Although the Indian market stayed deprived of a new launch, there were indications of new products coming soon, either through leaked details or trademark filings. If you want to read these updates in more detail, here’s a quick round-up.
The new Hero XPulse 200 4V, which debuted in the Indian market in October last year, has received its first price hike. The four-valve variant of the Hero XPulse 200 is now available at Rs 1,30,150 as against Rs 1,28,150 at launch, thus making it Rs 2,000 more expensive than before.
2022 Yamaha FZS25 details leaked
After launching the new DLX trim for the FZ S FI, Yamaha is all set to introduce a new version of the bigger FZ25, the S variant in particular. Interestingly, pictures of the motorcycle have surfaced on the internet ahead of launch. The updates on the new edition of the bike will reportedly be cosmetic. It will come in two new colour options including Matte Copper and Matte Black.
Honda has filed a trademark for the X-ADV name in India. Now, the Honda X-ADV is an incredibly interesting two-wheeler. Styled like a max-scooter, it comes with hardware capable of handling off-road riding. The most interesting element is its 745cc, twin-cylinder motor that churns out 57bhp and 69NM and comes mated to a Dual Clutch Transmission.
KTM RC 200 vs Yamaha YZF R15 V4
The KTM RC 200 and the Yamaha YZF R15 V4 are hugely popular in India, not only for their sporty character but also for their accessibility. We rode them back-to-back, to find which one makes more sense for you. Should you be spending around Rs 1.83 lakh on the R15, or put in Rs 26,000 more and go for the bigger RC 200?
Honda CB500X vs KTM 390 Adventure
The KTM 390 Adventure is one of the most desirable adventure tourers considering the technology and performance it offers for its price. On the other hand, the Honda CB500X is a globally-revered mid-size ADV but it gets one cylinder more and is priced almost twice as compared to the 390 ADV. The question is – if you can afford both of them, which one should you opt for? Click on the story link for the answer.
