The upcoming Bharat Mobility Expo is set to host most of the Indian manufacturers, offering them a stage to showcase upcoming products and launch new vehicles. Several vehicles will make their debut at the upcoming auto show and this has motorcycle enthusiasts excited, as companies such as TVS, Hero MoroCorp, and KTM will be showcasing adventure motorcycles. Here’s a more detailed look at the adventure motorcycles that will make their debut at the Bharat Mobility Show.
Hero MotoCorp
Hero has some exciting motorcycles to look out for. The first one is the Xpulse 210 which made its debut at EICMA. Based on the same platform and sticking to its purpose, the Xpulse 210 gets a new engine — the liquid-cooled unit from the Karizma. The engine, alongside making a healthy 25bhp, also gets a 6-speed gearbox, giving the Xpulse 210 better highway manners.
The next motorcycle to look out for will hopefully be the Xpulse 421. Hero gave us a hint and a few details at EICMA and recently, patented the motorcycle. While very little is known about the upcoming Hero Xpulse 421, it will be an exciting motorcycle. The design screams adventure and given the fact that the Hero MotoSport Rally team was also involved with the development, this will be a serious motorcycle. It will be powered by a new 421cc single-cylinder engine which is expected to make around 40 to 45bhp.
TVS
TVS was long due an adventure motorcycle, especially given its expertise in off-road racing. However, after unveiling its new 300cc engine at TVS MotoSoul, the company’s first adventure motorcycle was seen testing. Sporting a typical ADV design with a tall windshield and upright riding posture, the TVS adventure motorcycle could be called the RTX.
From the spy images, one can be assured that the upcoming TVS adventure motorcycle will sport USD forks, long travel suspension at both ends, cast alloy wheels, a TFT instrument console, disc brakes at both ends, and a host of electronic nannies. The engine will make 35bhp and will be mated to a 6-speed gearbox.
Bajaj – KTM and Triumph
Bajaj will be present this year and is expected to launch something new. However, adventure enthusiasts will wait for the new KTM 390 Adventure S and the 390 Enduro motorcycles, which made their debut at EICMA and later at India Bike Week. KTM is yet to announce the prices and the upcoming Bharat Mobility Expo could be the stage for that.
The other brand associated with Bajaj is Triumph. The UK motorcycle maker is expected to showcase the more affordable version of the Scrambler 400X, most likely called the Scrambler T4. The motorcycle has been spied testing and gets a similar treatment as the Speed T4 — a detuned 399cc engine, more torque, and a cheaper price tag.
