Ola Electric to Enter Two-Wheeler Market, Kawasaki Waves Goodbye to Ninja 400

Leaked Patent Reveals Ola Electric's Entry into Two-Wheeler Market with Futuristic Design

Ola Electric's upcoming foray into the electric motorcycle realm has gained momentum with the leaked design patent of one of its anticipated models. The images hint at a commuter-friendly design, evident from its conventional telescopic fork, twin shock absorbers, and basic suspension setup. Efficiency seems to be a priority when sporting 17-inch alloy wheels with commuter-sized tyres. Positioned where a conventional engine would reside, the battery and motor are housed together, promising an intriguing weight distribution. While performance details remain undisclosed, expectations hover around a 100kph capability, akin to Ola's S1 Pro scooter. With a futuristic design and ergonomic considerations, Ola's move into electric motorcycles is poised to shake up the market, potentially challenging existing players like the Tork Kratos R and Revolt RV400.

Kawasaki Waves Goodbye to Ninja 400, Welcomes Superior Ninja 500 in India

Kawasaki bids farewell to the Ninja 400 in India, introducing the upgraded Ninja 500 in its place. The move was prompted by the Ninja 400's steep Rs. 5.19 lakh price tag, attributed to its CBU status, which made it less competitive against locally produced alternatives like the TVS Apache RR 310 and KTM RC 390. With its larger 451cc engine, boasting 45 bhp and 42 Nm torque, the Ninja 500 offers a compelling alternative. Despite its departure, the Ninja 400 leaves a legacy of sharp design, agile handling, and a smooth parallel-twin engine. The Ninja 500's enhanced specs and features position it as Kawasaki's new flagship offering in India.

Leaked Patent Images Hint at Royal Enfield Classic 350 Bobber's Iconic Design

The anticipation builds as Royal Enfield enthusiasts await the arrival of the Classic 350 Bobber, teased by leaked patent images. Set to rival iconic Bobber motorcycles like the Jawa Perak and 42 Bobber, Royal Enfield aims to expand its classic lineup. Despite bearing a striking resemblance to its predecessor, the Classic 350, the Bobber distinguishes itself with a unique handlebar design and white-walled tyres. While speculation swirls around its potential moniker, whether it be Classic 350 Bobber or Goan Classic 350, its essence as a Bobber-style motorcycle remains unchanged. Although similarities persist in componentry and wheelbase, enthusiasts eagerly anticipate its performance, powered by the same 349cc single-cylinder engine. Royal Enfield's foray into the Bobber segment promises a blend of classic charm and contemporary design.

Revamped Bajaj Dominar 400 to Shed Weight, Gain Tech Upgrades

Bajaj Auto gears up to unveil a lighter iteration of its Dominar 400, addressing concerns over its hefty 193 kg weight. Drawing inspiration from the Pulsar NS400Z, the revamp aims to infuse lighter components, enhancing manoeuvrability and agility. Anticipated modifications include lighter wheels, a box-type swingarm, and an underbelly exhaust system. Technological upgrades from the NS400Z, such as ride-by-wire throttle and switchable traction control, are expected. Despite these changes, the powertrain, suspension, and brakes are likely to remain untouched. With no specific launch details provided, enthusiasts await the revamped Dominar 400's arrival, potentially by late 2024.

KTM's 990 RC R Prototype Promises Thrilling Performance in 2025

KTM unveils the eagerly awaited 990 RC R prototype, set to hit the market in 2025 as a fully faired powerhouse. Following the success of the RC 8C limited editions, which sold out in minutes, KTM responds to demand with a production-ready model. Details on the prototype remain scarce, but it's built on a trellis frame with notable features like an aluminium sub-frame and top-spec Brembo brakes. Powered by a 990cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine, delivering 126bhp, the RC R promises exhilarating performance. With ergonomic considerations for both track and street riding, it aims to challenge competitors like the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R and Honda CBR600RR upon its European debut next year.
