2025 Triumph Trident 660 launched in India at ₹8.49 lakh. Here is what's new
Triumph Motorcycles has officially announced the pricing of the 2025 Trident 660 in India, starting at ₹ 8.49 lakh (ex-showroom). The updated middleweight roadster now comes with several key feature additions, previously offered only as optional extras, while retaining its core mechanical package and retro-modern styling.
The Triumph Trident 660 remains a unique offering in India's premium middleweight naked bike segment. While it doesn't face any direct competition, models such as the Kawasaki Z650RS and the Honda CB650R E-Clutch serve as alternative options for riders looking at similar performance and design philosophies. For bookings and availability, interested buyers are advised to contact their nearest Triumph dealership. Triumph Trident 660: Colour options and pricing
Triumph has refreshed the Trident's visual appeal by introducing three new dual-tone colourways, namely Cosmic Yellow/Sapphire Black, Diablo Red/Sapphire Black, and Cobalt Blue/Sapphire Black, alongside the existing Jet Black option. While Jet Black has been priced at ₹ 8.49 lakh (ex-showroom) the dual-tone colourways have been priced at ₹ 8.64 lakh (ex-showroom). This marks a price increase of ₹ 37,000 over the outgoing model. However, the additional features now offered as standard help justify the hike.

For 2025, Triumph has enhanced the Trident 660's value proposition by offering several premium features as standard. These include cornering-optimised ABS and traction control, the My Triumph Connectivity system, a bidirectional quickshifter (Triumph Shift Assist), and a cruise control system operated via a single button.
In terms of ride modes, the Trident 660 now gains a 'Sport' mode, alongside the existing Road and Rain modes. The addition of Sport mode, which first debuted on the Daytona 660, further refines the bike's versatility for more spirited riding.

Beyond the electronics, Triumph has made a notable chassis revision for 2025. The front suspension has been upgraded to a Showa Big Piston fork, aimed at improving front-end feedback and overall ride control. However, the fork remains non-adjustable, and the only adjustable suspension component continues to be rear preload. Triumph Trident 660: Engine and performance
Other key mechanical specifications remain unchanged. The bike is still powered by a 660cc, inline three-cylinder engine, delivering 80 bhp and 64 Nm of torque. With a 14-litre fuel tank and Michelin Road 5 tyres, the bike tips the scales at 190kg (wet). The seat height stands at 805mm, making it accessible to a broad range of riders.

Bajaj Auto to infuse more mojo into 125cc motorcycles this fiscal
Bajaj Auto will focus on on restoring competitiveness in the 'strategically important' 125cc+ motorcycle segment during this fiscal, according to its 2024-25 annual report. The company will also look at unlocking the full potential of the GoGo brand in the electric three-wheeler space, 'mirroring our leadership' in the ICE category. Likewise, the new Chetak electric scooter range will be executed with the intent to 'significantly step up' volumes and market share. Multiple product launches across the KTM and Triumph portfolios are planned to further strengthen Bajaj Auto's global market positioning . 'Throughout this journey, we remain mindful of margin pressures arising from an increasingly competitive landscape and a strengthening rupee,' states the company. Also read: Bajaj Auto on the go with its GoGo electric 3-wheeler brand Chairman, Niraj Bajaj , has said in the report that sales of the 'strategically important and focused segment' of the 125cc+ motorcycle segment hit a new peak. Pulsar, the flagship brand, remains a strong force in the sports motorcycle segment, 'leading the charge as a symbol of Indian engineering and excellence'. Targeted actions While overall domestic motorcycles performance was subdued by a relatively weak second half that saw a loss of market share, 'we view this as a critical area and are taking clear and targeted actions to regain momentum'. Sales of the recently launched Freedom 125 have also been tepid but Bajaj Auto has reiterated that the world's first CNG motorcycle represents its commitment to 'breakthrough innovation while reimagining mobility'. Freedom 125, the company states, is more than a bike; it is a statement of how engineering and environmental stewardship can go hand in hand. That your Company not only navigated this transition but delivered its best-ever performance is a testament to the very versatile nature of our business, which drives the resilience of our results. When one engine slows, the other steps up — allowing the enterprise to stay on Bajaj The preceding fiscal also saw domestic demand slowing down for Bajaj Auto in the second half while exports accelerated sharply. 'That your Company not only navigated this transition but delivered its best-ever performance is a testament to the very versatile nature of our business, which drives the resilience of our results. When one engine slows, the other steps up — allowing the enterprise to stay on course,' said the Chairman. According to him, the other bit of good news was the 'surefooted progress' that Bajaj Auto had made on building the electric vehicles business which now account for 20% of domestic sales. More importantly, Chetak achieved segment leadership position on electric scooters during the fiscal that went by. Chetak on a roll 'This was the year in which Chetak hit leadership in the electric scooters market as volumes more than doubled year-on-year. The launch of the affordable variant earlier in the year and rapid expansion of the network to over 4,000 touchpoints were key interventions that propelled the business to leadership,' said Niraj Bajaj. The company's partner brands, KTM and Triumph, clocked nearly one lakh units domestically, reflecting the growing preference for premium mobility and 'our decisive presence' in this space. 'Buoyed by the strength of an expanded/upgraded portfolio and a wider reach in terms of city and dealership coverage, the interventions are yielding encouraging results,' he added. Also read: Bajaj, KTM will pull out all the stops in new revival plan The electric three-wheeler business, which is under two years old, rapidly scaled up too with a three-fold increase in market share and further going on to achieve segment leadership at the start of FY26. Exports also staged a strong comeback with double-digit growth that was led by Latin America, which continued its strong momentum, registering yet another high over what was already a record performance last year. 'Our brands continue to enjoy deep trust and loyalty among customers, helping us reclaim volumes and drive share across markets,' he said. Bullish on Brazil The recently launched Brazil business has grown scale quarter after quarter particularly after supplies were unlocked following the commissioning of the first company-owned overseas assembling facility in Manaus in June 2024. The business ended the year at a quarterly run rate that was in excess of what it sold for all of the previous financial year. To leverage the attractive market opportunity, capacity is being further increased, the portfolio augmented and the network expanded to cover the country. I truly believe Brazil will emerge as a sizable and exciting market for us in the years Bajaj 'To leverage the attractive market opportunity, capacity is being further increased, the portfolio augmented and the network expanded to cover the country. I truly believe Brazil will emerge as a sizable and exciting market for us in the years ahead,' said Niraj Bajaj. Summing up, the company would remain committed to driving competitiveness in the strategically relevant and important 125cc+ motorcycle segment while scaling up Chetak even further with a view to growing volumes, market share leadership and improving unit economics. Bajaj Auto would also focus on expanding and replicating market leadership in the electric three-wheeler segment and thereby mirroring the strong position built in the ICE category. It would also strive to sustain and broad base the recovery in exports while leveraging the uptick across select overseas markets. The company would stay the course 'relentlessly' on delivering differentiated product innovation, impactful in-market activation and superior customer experience. Project Velocity The year also saw Bajaj Auto kicking off Project Velocity which involved a thorough analysis of business units, leadership-led reviews, and 'iterative refinements' to each unit's organisation structure. This was followed by a carefully thought out mapping of talent to key roles, ensuring alignment with business priorities, and stronger cross-functional collaboration. 'It resulted in simplification of the organisation structure and flattening of the leadership layers to provide perfect correlation between our leadership levels, 4S framework and our leadership competency framework,' said the Chairman. As I reflect on the year gone by, for me it has brought home a profound business truth - in uncharted waters, competitiveness comes not from always having the wind at your back, but from being able to adroitly adjust your sails as the winds Bajaj All this revolved around simplicity of strategy, (anticipate the future with simplicity); singularity of objectives (drive singularity of alignment across the organisation); synergy of teams (bring synergies by enabling the cross functional teams to continuously adapt to the dynamic environment); and speed of execution (act with speed in flawlessly executing and continuously improving). According to Niraj Bajaj, these changes have already started to positively impact agility, efficiency and speed of execution within the ecosystem. 'As I reflect on the year gone by, for me it has brought home a profound business truth - in uncharted waters, competitiveness comes not from always having the wind at your back, but from being able to adroitly adjust your sails as the winds shift,' he observed.

Royal Enfield Himalayan Tubeless Cross-Spoke Wheels Get More Expensive Royal Enfield introduced its cross-spoke tubeless wheels at a remarkably affordable price, which attracted several new and existing customers to bring them home. However, the competitive pricing seems to have only benefitted early-bird buyers. The updated price for the cross-spokes is now listed on the Royal Enfield MIY configurator and represents an additional cost over the ex-showroom price of the motorcycle.

Check Offers The performance-focused motorcycle market in India has been on the rise over the past few years, with steady growth driven by enthusiast interest, greater brand participation, and a wider array of machines and displacements to choose from. From quarter-litre sportbikes to full-blown litre-class machines, this market is now home to a wide range of models catering to different riding styles and budgets. With more launches expected before the end of 2025, there's never been a better time to be a motorcycle enthusiast in India. Whether you are a serious collector or a first-time buyer, these five upcoming motorcycles will surely fit your bill: Hero Karizma XMR 250: The new Hero Karizma XMR 250 features integrated winglets in its fairing. It also packs a bigger engine with 29.5 bhp and 25 Nm on offer. Hero has been updating its premium range with the recent launches of the Xpulse 210 and the Xtreme 250R, and the manufacturer will be following up with the Karizma XMR 250. The upcoming quarter-litre sportbike has been on the radar since it was first unveiled at the EICMA 2024 in Milan, Italy. It will carry an all-new design and updated bodywork, with sharper lines and an aggressive fairing design compared to the outgoing XMR 210. It will be powered by the newly built 250 cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled, four-valve DOHC engine that drives the Xtreme 250R. This motor is rated at 29.5 bhp and 25 Nm of torque and is paired with a 6-speed gearbox. The XMR 250 is built around a trellis frame with USD front forks and a rear monoshock, and there are disc brakes at both ends, supported by switchable dual-channel ABS.

What's brewing? Triumph Thruxton 400: The Triumph Thruxton 400 will be a global offering, expected to debut in November 2025. Triumph is gearing up to expand its entry-level 400 cc lineup with the upcoming Thurxton 400. Spied testing on Indian roads multiple times over the year, it is expected to debut sometime around November 2025. This is the cafe-racer iteration of the existing Speed 400, set to revive the Thruxton nameplate after being discontinued in 2024. The motorcycle features a bullet-style semi-fairing fitted onto the Speed 400's body, alongside clip-on handlebars and a bubble visor. The Triumph Thruxton 400 will be powered by the same 398 cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine that is in the Speed 400 and Scrambler 400 X. Paired with a 6-speed gearbox, this motor delivers 39.5 bhp at 8,000 rpm and 37.5 Nm at 6,500 rpm. The cafe racer will be built around the chassis and hardware setup of the Speed 400, but is expected to feature adjustments to the rake and trail for a different riding experience. On the feature front, it is expected to retain the Speed 400's tech suite, including the analogue-digital instrument cluster, full-LED lighting, and dual-channel ABS. Royal Enfield Himalayan 750: The Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 will be underpinned by an all-new frame and subframe that can house the larger engine. Royal Enfield has been upgrading its parallel-twin-powered middleweight motorcycle lineup, and to this end, it is currently working on the Himalayan 750. The upcoming adventure tourer will likely be officially unveiled in November 2025 at this year's EICMA show and will debut as the enhanced, larger capacity version of the popular Himalayan 450. It gets an identical design while carrying a larger half-fairing, fuel tank, a taller windscreen, and an upswept exhaust. The Himalayan 750 is expected to be powered by an air/oil-cooled engine with a larger capacity than the current 648 cc unit in Royal Enfield's big bike lineup. The current motor makes 46.7 bhp and 52 Nm of torque, and the upgraded version should pack more punch in comparison. The new Himalayan will be underpinned by an all-new frame and subframe that can accommodate the bigger powerplant. The tourer will be held up by USD front forks and a monoshock at the rear, with longer travel at both ends. The bike will ride on 19-inch front and 17-inch rear tubeless spoked wheels fitted with twin discs at the front and a single rear disc.

The bike is expected to be powered by the same 72-degree 1,200 cc liquid-cooled V4 engine that makes 185 bhp at 12,000 rpm and 125 Nm of torque at 9,000 rpm. The Norton V4 will employ a new main frame with Ohlins-sourced suspension units and the top-spec Brembo Hyure monobloc calipers. It will further feature a new, beefy single-sided swingarm. The bike's feature suite should include a six-axis IMU, riding modes, adjustable traction control, and lean-sensitive ABS. 2025 Ducati Panigale V2: The 2025 Ducati Panigale V2 gets an aluminium monocoque chassis that weighs just four kg. The latest iteration of the Ducati Panigale V2 was globally debuted at EICMA 2024 and is expected to hit Indian shores by the end of 2025. The Italian supersport gets lighter with a new V2 engine and an updated design with significant changes. Designed from scratch, the V2 takes on style cues from the flagship 2025 Panigale V4, currently sold in India. It is powered by the all-new 890 cc, 90-degree V-twin engine that makes 35 bhp less than the outgoing model, but is also considerably lighter. Paired with a 6-speed gearbox with Ducati Quick Shift (DQS), the bike makes 120 bhp at 10,250 rpm and 93.3 Nm at 8,250 rpm and ditches desmodromic valves for conventional valve springs. The bike is built around a cast aluminium monocoque chassis with USD front forks and a rear monoshock, both fully adjustable, and uses a double-sided swingarm for better power delivery. Braking duties are taken care of by twin 320 mm discs up front and a single 265 mm disc at the rear.
