The Indian two-wheeler industry witnessed a bunch of new launches last week in varying segments. Upping the excitement further was the test mule of the BMW F450GS that was spotted for the first time ever. To spice up your Sunday, here’s a round-up of all such interesting bike updates from last week.
Honda CB650R, CBR650R E-Clutch Launch
Honda introduced the E-Clutch version of the CB650R and the CBR650R in India at Rs. 9.60 lakh and Rs. 10.40 lakh, respectively. The E-Clutch system uses servo motors mounted on a redesigned casing to assist in gear shifting and to engage the clutch automatically when the motorcycle is stationary. This helps reduce rider fatigue in stop-and-go traffic. Riders still have the option to switch off the system and operate the clutch manually, if preferred.
2025 Triumph Scrambler 400 X New Colour
Triumph launched a new Lava Red Satin colourway on the Scrambler 400 X in India. From the images, it looks like this new shade is more vibrant and has a premium finish. This new colourway replaces the existing red paint scheme, while the other colour options will continue to remain unchanged. Triumph has marginally increased the price of the Scrambler 400 X by Rs. 758, which now retails at Rs. 2.67 lakh.
2025 Benelli TRK 502 Twins Launch
Benelli launched the 2025 models of the TRK 502 and TRK 502X. Both bikes have received additional features, updated hardware, and a price increment of Rs. 35,000. The most notable update received by the TRK siblings is the inclusion of features such as TPMS, heated seats, and heated grips, which are quite uncommon in this segment. Benelli has also equipped the bike with revised switchgear and a new five-inch TFT screen, which is different from the previous LCD dash.
2025 Yamaha Aerox 155 Launch
Yamaha launched the 2025 version of the Aerox 155 in India. The company has made it compliant with the new OBD-2B emission norms and gave some visual tweaks to the higher-spec S variant. The Aerox 155 S version is available in a new Ice Fluo Vermillion colour, which replaces the Grey Vermillion shade. Moreover, the previous Racing Blue trim has been retained but with updated graphics, which look edgier and lend it a fresh visual appeal. The standard model, meanwhile, will continue to be on sale in Metallic Black trim.
BMW F450GS Spotted
BMW Motorrad’s upcoming most affordable adventure bike – the F450GS was spotted testing near TVS’ factory in Hosur. At the heart of the motorcycle is a newly developed 450cc, twin-cylinder engine, producing 48bhp and tuned for strong mid-range performance. It will be paired with a six-speed gearbox and a slip-and-assist clutch. As with other BMW models, many premium features are likely to be offered.
