Suzuki V-Strom SX 250 Priced at Rs 2.13 lakh (ex-showroom), the Suzuki V-Strom SX 250 could be a wise yet smart choice under the 249cc segment. The motorcycle is a perfect blend of style and performance, which is well-suited for slippery highways and rain-soaked trails. Honda CB350 H'ness Last but not least, the CB350.

Triumph Scrambler 400 XC Cross Spoke Wheel Prices Out- Cheaper Than Himalayan 450?
Triumph recently launched the Scrambler 400 XC in India, at a starting price of Rs 2.94 lakh (ex-showroom). The motorcycle is capable of being a much better off-roader than the Triumph Scrambler 400 X. Now, the brand has officially announced the prices of the cross-spoke wheels, which give it hassle-free off-road surfing. It must be noted that the cross-spoke wheel is available in the Indian market as a CBU and is manufactured by the same brand that makes cross spokes for the Triumph Scrambler 1200 X, Tiger 900 Rally Pro, and more. The brand has stated that the front cross-spoke wheel is priced at Rs 34,876, while the rear one is tagged at Rs 36,875. This accounts for a total cost of Rs 71,751. Triumph Scrambler 400 XC Also, Royal Enfield has increased the prices of the Himalayan 450 tubeless cross-spoke wheels. The price of the cross-spoke wheel earlier stood at Rs 12,424, which is now priced at Rs 40,645. However, first-time buyers can still get the Himalayan 450 cross-spoke tubeless tyres at Rs 11,000, only if they club it with the bike purchase. Also Read: New KTM 390 Adventure X Launched In India With Cruise Control; Check Price Even after the price hike, the Himalayan 450's cross-spoke wheels are still cheaper than those of the Triumph Scrambler 400 XC's. Though the cross-spoke wheel has its advantages, it does affect the warranty process. In India, the cross-spoke wheels lack an official homologation process, so fitting them individually, even through an authorized Triumph service center, will result in the warranty being voided for the Triumph Scrambler 400 XC. Talking about the power unit, the Triumph Scrambler 400 XC utilizes the same 398cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine seen on the Scrambler 400 X. It is capable of giving out a peak power and torque output of 39.5 bhp and 37.5 Nm of torque, respectively.

HSBC raises target price on Eicher Motors but maintains hold as export outlook remains unclear
By Markets Desk Published on June 20, 2025, 07:32 IST HSBC has maintained a 'Hold' rating on Eicher Motors, even as it raised the target price to ₹5,600 from ₹5,300, citing sustained growth momentum from Royal Enfield's (RE) premium segment offerings and stable competitive dynamics. However, concerns over the company's export trajectory remain a limiting factor in driving further upside. According to HSBC, the competitive intensity in the domestic two-wheeler market continues to be benign, particularly in the mid-to-premium motorcycle space where Royal Enfield commands a dominant share. The bank sees structural tailwinds for RE from its successful 350cc platform refreshes, along with strong reception to models like the Hunter, Super Meteor, and Himalayan 450. On the export front, HSBC acknowledged pockets of stabilisation in Latin America, a key geography for RE's overseas business, but noted that overall visibility on international growth remains unclear. Slowing demand in mature Western markets and currency pressures in Africa and Southeast Asia continue to weigh on near-term expectations. At its current valuation, the stock is trading at 26x FY27 estimated earnings, which HSBC views as fair, considering the company's robust brand positioning but limited near-term triggers. The brokerage believes that while RE's domestic momentum can continue, upside beyond this level will require a clear revival in exports and operating leverage from new geographies.

Royal Enfield Himalayan 750: What we know so far?
The larger Himalayan could use a larger 750 cc engine that is based on the current 650 cc unit. Notify me Royal Enfield recently dropped the images of the bigger twin-cylinder Himalayan, alongside the Him-E electric ADV, on its social media handles. The motorcycle giant has been working on a new generation of middleweight motorcycles, and the 'Himalayan 750' is likely to debut not only as a bigger adventure tourer but also with a larger-capacity twin-cylinder engine. Here's a quick lowdown on what we know so far about the upcoming Royal Enfield Himalayan 750. The bigger Royal Enfield Himalayan will get a bigger half-fairing and a taller windscreen. while sporting a familiar round LED headlamp 1. Familiar Style, Larger Fairing The spy shots of the Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 reveal an identical design, with the overall styling identical to the Himalayan 450. The round LED headlamp and a tower-style design are instantly recognisable, but you now have a larger half-fairing running across the sides. The fuel tank appears to be larger, and the model sports a taller windscreen. The round TFT instrument console seems to have been carried over from the current offering. The Himi 750 also gets new trapezoidal mirrors instead of the round mirrors seen on the Himi 450. The model also gets an upswept exhaust, albeit quite different from the one on the Interceptor Bear 650.

New Wheel Setup, Bigger Brakes The upcoming Himalayan 750 will ride on 19-inch front and 17-inch rear spoked wheels, instead of the 21-inch front and 17-inch rear wheel setup on the 452 cc version. These are likely to be tubeless wheels from the start. The new wheel sizes appear to be more inclined towards touring, but it needs to be seen if a 21-inch front wheel version will be available later. The braking system will receive an upgrade as well, with twin disc brakes at the front and a single disc at the rear. The disc sizes are also likely to be larger. Expect switchable dual-channel ABS, while RE could add other electronic aids like traction control on the bike.

Bigger Capacity Engine The Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 is expected to be powered by a larger capacity engine, up from the 648 cc parallel-twin motor powering the brand's 650 range. While Royal Enfield has not disclosed the displacement of the new motor, it is expected to be larger in cubic capacity and will continue to be an air and oil-cooled unit. The current motor develops about 46.7 bhp and 52 Nm of peak torque, paired with a 6-speed gearbox. The new larger displacement engine will pack more power and torque in comparison, improving the bike's touring ability overall.

Global Debut Likely This Year Royal Enfield is tight-lipped about when the new Himalayan 750 will make its global debut, but the middleweight adventure tourer appears to be closer to its market debut and could arrive as early as this year. We can expect the bike to be revealed globally in a few months, possibly at EICMA 2025 in November. More details on the Himalayan 750 will be revealed in the coming weeks.
