Royal Enfield Bullet Trials 350 & 500 Edition India Launch Live Blog: Specifications, Features, Prices, Images

The Royal Enfield Bullet Trials 350 and 500 are all set to be launched in India and will be the off-road versions based on the Classic 350 and 500 platform. The new scrambler-style offerings have been spotted for a while now, and the company even teased the motorcycles earlier this month. However, little has been revealed about the bikes itself. These new offerings will add to the company's product portfolio while bringing some off-road capability as well. From the previous images and teasers, changes will be aplenty on the bikes including the contrast colour finished chassis, 3D Royal Enfield logo, chrome finished telescopic front forks and headlamp nacelle.

The new Royal Enfield Bullet Trials 350 and Trials 500 will continue to ride on 19-inch front and 18-inch rear spoke wheels, albeit with dual-purpose tyres. Damping duties will be taken care of by telescopic front forks and a twin-shock setup for the rear, which are expected to sport longer travel. Power will continue to come from the same 346 cc and 499 cc single-cylinder, air-cooled engines, both of which are paired with a 5-speed gearbox. The former churns out 19 bhp and 28 Nm of peak torque, while the latter makes 27 bhp and 41 Nm of peak torque.

Sporting a host of upgrades, the Royal Enfield Bullet Trials 350 and 500 are likely to command a price tag of about Rs. 10,000, over the standard Classic 350 and Classic 500 versions. Currently, the Royal Enfield Classic 350 ABS is priced at Rs. 1.53 lakh, while the Classic 500 ABS is priced at Rs. 2.11 lakh (all prices, ex-showroom, Delhi).

Brixton 1200 To Rival Triumph Bonneville T120

A 1200 cc modern classic with similar design lines as Triumph's iconic Bonneville series, has reportedly been cleared for production. The bike was showcased as a concept at last year's EICMA motorcycle show, and from the looks of it, this is a model developed in China with the Triumph Bonneville T120 in its sights. The Brixton brand though is part of Austria's KSR Group, which imports bikes from several Chinese manufacturers, including CF Moto. And while the new Bonneville rival will be manufactured in China, the design and engineering has been created at KSR's design centre in Krups, Austria.

Honda 850 cc Parallel-Twin Engine Revealed In Patent Filings

Image
Latest patent images from Japan seem to indicate that Honda may be working on an all-new 850 cc, parallel-twin engine. And the new engine, with more displacement to meet the Euro 5 emission regulations, will replace the current engine on the Honda NC750 range, with the engine and chassis shares amongst several Honda models including the Honda NC750S naked bike, the NC750D Integra scooter, the NC750X adventure tourer, as well as the Honda X-ADV adventure scooter. None of these models are offered on sale in India, but with new emission regulations looming around the corner in Europe, Honda is possibly looking to explore an increase in displacement to meet those norms.

Indian FTR 1200 Rally Revealed

Indian Motorcycle took the wraps off the Indian FTR 1200 Rally, which is an off-road biased version of the standard Indian FTR 1200 . The FTR 1200 Rally looks more of a scrambler than a flat-tracker and boy, does it look good! There are a few changes on the Rally compared to the standard model such as ProTaper handlebars, which are 50 mm higher. This results in a more upright seating position. The alloy wheels are swapped out for Aluminium spoke wheels wrapped in knobby Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR rubber. The FTR 1200 Rally also gets a new Titanium smoke paint scheme along with the Indian headdress logo along with a brown seat, giving the motorcycle a stripped out retro look. There is a new rally windscreen as well, which sits atop the headlamp. Also Read: Indian FTR 1200 Review (The Indian FTR 1200 Rally gets the same engine as the standard FTR 1200.
