Hero MotoCorp Discontinues 4 Models In India

Hero MotoCorp has taken off four models from its website. These include the Glamour, Passion XPro, Maestro 110 and the Duet scooters as well. Now these models have been axed completely and will not be re-introduced in BS6 avatars. The Hero website also doesn't list out its 200 cc models like the XTreme 200T, Xtreme 200R, Xtreme 200S. Models like the Glamour FI, Passion Pro i3S, Splendor Pro i3S have been upgraded and are now known as the Glamour BS6, Passion Pro BS6 and the Splendor Pro BS6. And the Maestro 110 and the Duet 110 have now been replaced by the new Maestro 125, which did get launched last year.

(The Hero XPulse 200T along with the Xtreme 200S and the Xtreme 200R could get a BS6 variant in the coming months)

Currently, the most powerful model on Hero's website is the XPulse 200. It has done well for Hero and was the first 200 cc model from Hero to get a BS6 engine. As mentioned earlier, Hero has temporarily taken down its other 200 cc models, which are the XPulse 200T, Xtreme 200R and the Xtreme 200S. While the Xtreme 200R did fairly well, the XPulse 200T and the Xtreme 200S haven't had much success and it could be possible that Hero may decide to bring in BS6 versions of select 200 cc models and not all three of them (excluding the XPulse 200 since it is already listed).

(The next launch from Hero will be the Xtreme 160R. It is already listed on the company's website)

Hero MotoCorp is back in the premium commuter motorcycle segment with the company's first offering in the 160 cc motorcycle segment, with the new Hero Xtreme 160R. And this time, it's an all-new motorcycle. The Hero MotoCorp website also lists the XTreme 160R and was supposed to launch it in April 2020 but the Coronavirus crisis has put a spanner in the works of many automotive companies. The spanner also includes the fact that Hero has temporarily suspended manufacturing at its plants across the globe and all dealerships are under lockdown as well. This was reflected in the poor sales for March 2020 as well.

Brixton 1200 To Rival Triumph Bonneville T120

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. 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.

Indian FTR 1200 Rally Revealed

Image
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.

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.
