While the Indian Market already had a slew of commuter/adventure bikes, the manufacturers now are planning to launch a slew of their new targeted adventure bikes for enthusiasts. These bikes would not have the usual frills and features, as they would be targeted towards pure trail riding. Here are a few of the alleged launches that would soon be brought to India.
KTM 390 Enduro R
Apart from the KTM duke adventure 390, the Enduro-R has gone through a slew of changes. These changes include a 2 kg lighter Exhaust, Revised cylinder head , a new air box as well as repositioned fuel injectors. The Bike has now been equipped with slipper clutch as standard as well.
The bike would have the latest generation KTM LC4 engine, churning out impressive power and effortless acceleration. The bike would be meant for off-roading enthusiast, it would be a hardcore bike with a bare body and a tweaked suspension system as well. These changes would help it gain a formidable chance at being the go-to choice for many who have been seeking a off-road oriented bike for tackling the off road trails as well as other off-roading circuits. Beyond this a few other changes have been instilled as well. But This bike would be meant for hardcore off-roading only.
Hero Xpluse Rally
Hero has recently showcased a new rally version of the Xpulse at a rallying event in Chandigarh. Hero had previously showcased no plans of launching any such bikes, but the recent outing seems to suggest that the brand might soon launch a new Rally focused Xpulse.
The Bike would have the same engine as that of the Xpulse 210, that is a DOHC 4V per cylinder engine. The engine would churn out 25 PS of power along with a peak torque of 20.7 NM. The bike would have a slipper clutch and a 6 speed gearbox. The vistas we could get of the bike revealed that the bike would have revised suspension with extended suspension travel, and beyond that the bikes would be given new more grippier tires as well.
Royal Enfield Himalayan Rally
Before being launched the bikes are taken through a lot of strenuous testing, It was on such a escapade that the new Himalayan raid was spotted in Uk, by Motorcycle news .com. And one of the most interesting aspect of the spot was that coolant reservoir was possibly a bottle with a hose attached to it.
The Bike was spotted by a enthusiast in Lutterworth in Uk. That is not far away from where Royal Enfiled’s Uk technology center is based. The keen onlookers were able to recognize the bike from its stance as well as the badging near the engine crankcase. The Bike had 17 inch spoked rim at the rear with Ceat Rubbers all around. As per the spot the bike would have a upswept exhaust to help it off road, with a chunky heel plate. The bike has chunkier upside down forks up front with a massive chassis mounted monoshsock that might be adjustable. The rear monoshock extends all the way from the swingarm till the chassis frame of the bike. The shock would most possibly have adjustments for preload.
The fuel tank is similar to that of the Himalayan, since the bike has been purposefully built to provide for the off roading fun, its possible that it might not have much rider aids and features that are seen on the other bikes.
