Revolt Electric Cafe Racer Teased; Could Be The Next Launch

Revolt Intellicorp recently launched the RV 300 and the RV 400, which are India's first electric motorcycles. We have already told you about the motorcycle in our comprehensive review which you can read here. At the launch itself, the company gave a hint of its future plans by showing a teaser of an electric cafe racer, which could possibly be its next launch. The teaser image shows a sketch of a motorcycle with a round headlamp, low-set clip on handlebars, short seat and a cafe racer style cowl at the rear. The sketch also shows knobby tyres, further accentuating its sporty intent. The sculpted fuel tank gets knee recesses for gripping when riding fast and there is tyre hugger at the rear too adding to the looks. We believe the Revolt electric cafe racer could borrow the frame and the electric motor from the RV 400 and in all probability it could be positioned above the RV 400. We expect the motorcycle to be launched later in 2019 or early 2020.

Revolt wants its electric motorcycles to be affordable and therefore, instead of giving an ex-showroom price, the company launched its electric bikes with a monthly payment plan. The RV 300 could be yours for a monthly payment of Rs. 2,999 for 37 months. Similarly, the standard RV 400 and the premium RV 400 have a payment plan of Rs. 3,499 and Rs. 3,999 for 37 months. For all you know, Revolt could launch its electric café racer with a similar plan.

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.

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.
