TVS To Launch New Flagship 310 CC Motorcycle Next Year

TVS will launch a new motorcycle based on the BMW platform that spawned G310, G310GS and Apache RR310


TVS-BMW partnership has been doing a world of good for the latter as the G310R and G310GS have been performing well in sales numbers globally. Manufactured at TVS’ plant locally in Hosur, BMW Motorrad sells both the motorcycles abroad as well as in the domestic market.

The long sought after G310R and G310GS debuted in India with a shockingly premium price tag none had been anticipating and the high costs involved in their maintenance have led to them not being preferred largely by Indian customers over the years. Thus, BMW Motorrad could not endure the same level of success it did with the duo in the international arena for obvious reasons.

TVS and BMW are said to be preparing a fourth motorcycle out of their partnership and the development was confirmed by K. N. Radhakrishnan, President, CEO & Additional Whole-Time Director, TVS Motor Company in an interview. He said that BMW is “extremely happy” with their alliance as the G310R and G310GS are performing well in the overseas markets.

TVS launched its performance-based flagship motorcycle, the RR310, in late 2017 and it has become a decent seller for the homegrown manufacturer. The faired supersport average around 250 units last year monthly and spurred by its good reception, a brand new product will “possibly” be introduced next year and we cannot wait to see it.

Radhakrishnan explained that the same platform will bear “one more variant of that from TVS Motor Company”. It will be brand new as the Hosur-based firm looks to “constantly delight the customer” and be investing to bring up that product. Only a few months ago, the 2020 TVS Apache RR310 BS6 debuted with notable updates and is priced at Rs. 2.28 lakh (ex-showroom, New Delhi).

We do expect the new model to be a naked streetfighter having similar mechanicals as the Apache RR310. It could bode well as the flagship naked and it could be positioned to compete against KTM Duke 390. It is expected to be less expensive in pricing compared to its faired sibling, allowing TVS to lock horns with more KTM motorcycles.

Saurav Verma’s ‘KTM RC 390 SRV’ takes inspiration from the stance of a falcon KTM products are easily the best in India’s single-cylinder sports motorcycle category. The Austrian brand (in which Bajaj Auto has a 48% stake) has updated all its products to BS6 emission norms at the start of this year. In terms of performance as well as equipment, KTMs have always had an edge over its competitors. In fact, the all-new KTM 390 Adventure has set a benchmark in the Indian motorcycle scenario. In the current KTM India line-up, the faired RC range is relatively outdated. Even though we get only the RC 200 and RC 390 in the domestic market, KTM India assembles and exports the mid-range RC 250 in Bajaj’s manufacturing facility in Chakan, Pune. Meanwhile, the next-gen KTM RC 390 was spotted a few months before doing test runs in European roads in its early prototype avatar. KTM products follow a unique design philosophy with their exposed trellis frame, orange highlights and quir

The  Classic 350  and  Bullet 350  have been Royal Enfield’s best selling motorcycles in India for many years now. The two motorcycles also recently received updates to make them BS6-compliant. Here, we take a look at the details of the Classic 350 and Bullet 350 that differentiate them from each other. Styling Royal Enfield has designed the Classic 350 as well as Bullet 350 keeping in mind classic motorcycles. Both get round, conventionally-lit headlamps and are adorned with chrome elements to suit their retro styling. However, the two motorcycles get slight cosmetic differences that set them apart visually. To begin with, the Classic 350 gets tank grips which the Bullet 350 misses out on. It also sports a pulled-back handlebar whereas the unit on the Bullet 350 is slightly higher, which offers the rider an even more upright riding posture. Furthermore, the Bullet 350 sports a square battery box instead of the oval box fitted on the Classic 350. The motorcycles
