The Indian two-wheeler market witnessed some interesting new launches last week. These were not only new bikes and scooters but also a new helmet by Reise Moto. If you couldn’t keep track of these developments, here’s a quick recap.
Triumph Speed T4 New Colour
The Triumph Speed T4 was launched in a new colour, called Baja Orange. Priced at Rs. 2.05 lakh, the Speed T4 looks vibrant in this bright new colour. The orange colour is painted on the top and rear half of the fuel tank. The latter portion of the fuel tank is painted in black, with a neat, white coloured stripe separating the orange and black colours. Now, the motorcycle is available in a total of five shades.
2025 Honda Transalp XL750 Launch
The 2025 Honda Transalp XL750 was launched in India at a price of Rs. 11 lakh. The bike has a refreshed front end with a new LED headlight that looks sharper. Honda also claims that the engine offers improved throttle response in the low-end and mid-range. Moreover, the company has tweaked the front and rear suspension to improve ride quality over a variety of terrain.
Bajaj Chetak 3001 Launch
Bajaj introduced the new Chetak 3001 electric scooter in India at Rs. 99,990. This e-scooter is built on the Chetak 35 series and replaces the Chetak 2903. Some of the major highlights of the Chetak 3001 are its 127km claimed riding range on a single charge and 35-litre under-seat storage, which the company claims are the best in its class. It gets a floorboard-mounted 3.0kWh battery, and a 750W charger comes standard. It takes close to 4 hours to charge from zero-to-80 per cent.
Reise Helden Helmet Launch
Reise Moto entered the helmet business with the launch of the Helden, which is priced at Rs. 3,499. It complies with the ISI, DOT, and ECE 22.05 safety standards. It uses a lightweight, advanced polycarbonate shell for impact protection and removable hypoallergenic padding for the cheek and crown pads. Other features include an aerodynamic spoiler, built-in speaker pocket for Bluetooth intercoms, and a micrometric chinstrap system.
