Triumph India To Bring In BS-6 Compliant Models From December 2019

Triumph Motorcycles India will launch Bharat Stage VI (BS6) compliant vehicles in India by end of this year. The news was confirmed to us by Shoeb Farooq, General Manager, Triumph Motorcycles India, on the sidelines of the launch of the new 2019 Triumph Speed Twin. Talking about the timeline for the arrival of the new BS6 compliant motorcycles, Farooq said, "The good part this time with this transition is that the timelines are very clear, and every manufacturer has a decent amount of time to manage the whole transition. So, we have also put specifics together, and I think around December 2019, we'll start supplying our BS6 variants into the market, and post that we'll be changing the whole range to BS6."

Triumph India recently launched the 2019 Speed Twin in India

Currently, the British two-wheeler maker offers one of the widest range of premium motorcycles in India with about 14 motorcycles models in its line-up. In fact, next month, the company will add one more new model to its line-up with the launch of the 2019 Triumph Scrambler 1200. So, when we asked about the timeline for when the company plans to stop offering BS4 models, Farooq said, "We have to ensure that all our stocks are liquidated by March 31. So, that's what we are all working for. We are working backwards from March 31 and trying to see what kind of stocks are required. So, we would like to sell till March 31, but we don't want to have a situation where we are left with more than required stocks, either with us or the dealerships."

The transition from BS4 to BS6 is quite a complicated process and involves a huge amount of investment from vehicle manufactures. This is why a lot of manufacturers in India are planning to convert mostly the best-selling models in the line-up which the poor performers are likely to see the end of the road once BS6 kicks in from April 2020. But that doesn't seem to the case for Triumph, when we asked whether the company had some similar plans, Shoeb Farooq said, "I foresee the entire line up going into BS6. There may be a time gap between certain models and variants for which you might have to wait a couple of months extra, but 100 per cent line up is going to go into BS6, over a period of time."

Image
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.

Zongshen Cyclone RX6 Based On Norton 650 Nearing Completion

Image
While there still doesn't seem to be a buyer for iconic British brand Norton Motorcycles which went into administration in January this year, the firm's 650 cc parallel-twin seems to be finding life in China. While Norton apparently sold off the engine rights of its 961 engine to China's Jinglang just before the brand went into administration, the deal for the 650 cc engine was finalized way back in 2017 with Chinese giant Zongshen. The 650 cc parallel-twin engine was due to be used in Norton's Atlas and Superlight models, but now it looks like that engine platform will make its debut in a Zongshen motorcycle, called the Cyclone R6.
