New Bike Launches No One Would Tell You About! Hidden Royal Enfield And Hero Projects To Launch Soon News24 –

While brands like Royal Enfield and Hero often flaunt the upcoming models as a marketing gimmick. Certain models are kept under wraps. Here are a few upcoming bikes that are not being talked about. While Most of them are from Royal Enfield, we have tried to find finer details about a few other prospective launches as well. Its necessary to elucidate that brands go through extensive testing phases and every tested product is not often launched into the market. So some of these might not make it to the final cut.

Royal Enfield GTR 750

A Month back it was revealed that Royal Enfield would be launching a new 750cc mid size motorcycle and a new 750 cc platform would be a integral part of the brands future growth plans. It was also revealed that the bike had been Codenamed R1E  and the continental GTR would not be the only model that would be shoehorned with a 750 cc engine. Moving on forward Royal Enfield would equip a few other models in their line up with the a new engine as well. The new engine has been devised to deliver higher performance and dynamics over the current 650cc lineup.

The engine would evidently be tuned for better performance and torque figures. Earlier on the brand had revealed its intentions of exploring new budding markets and competing with international players to grab a hold of market subsets beyond India. GTR750 would possibly be the first bike that the brand would launch with 750 cc new platform and ahead of that Royal Enfield would move on to a 750 cc Himalayan as well. 

Royal Enfield Himalayan 750 

The rumors about the 750 cc Himalayan reached a fevered pitch when a similarly equipped bike was seen testing in European markets. It’s inevitable that the 750 cc engine would be shoehorned into the Himalayan chassis to further wage a competitive edge against international players.  Although the bike was seen being tested earlier there, it has not been spotted testing yet again.  The 750 cc Himalayan would sit right with European tourers which are often powered by bigger engine. Such as the Yamaha Versys 650 and the Suzuki V-storm 650

Royal Enfield Himalayan Raid

This one has to be the most well hidden secret in the Royal Enfield launch cannon. Before being launched the bikes are often taken through a lot of strenuous testing, It was on such a escapade that the new Himalayan raid was spotted in Uk, by Motorcycle news .com. And one of the most interesting aspect of the spot was that coolant reservoir was possibly a bottle with a hose attached to it.

The Bike was spotted by a enthusiast in Lutterworth in Uk. That is not far away from where Royal Enfiled’s Uk technology center is based. The keen onlookers were able to recognize the bike from its stance as well as the badging near the engine crankcase. The Bike had 17 inch spoked rim at the rear with Ceat Rubbers all around. As per the spot the bike would have a upswept exhaust to help it off road, with a chunky heel plate. The bike has chunkier upside down forks up front with a massive chassis mounted monoshsock that might be adjustable. The rear monoshock extends all the way from the swingarm till the chassis frame of the bike. The shock would most possibly have adjustments for preload.

Hero Xpulse 421 

The Xpulse 210 was showcased earlier at EICMA 2024, as of yet its clear that the bike would be powered by the same engine as seen on the Karizma XMR 210. Beyond this the Xpulse 421 moniker has been trademarked in India as well. The launch of the bike has been slated for 2025 or early 2026.

Hero Xpulse 421 Design Trade Marked

The fact that the design of the new 421 has been trademarked leads us to believe that a new 421 cc version of the Expulse might be in development as well. The bike would become a close competitor of bikes such as the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450, the new gen KTM 390 Adventure as well as the soon to arrive BMW F450 GS. The adventure Bike segment is soon to get heated as the newly arriving TVS Apache RTX 300 would compete in the same segment as well.

Performance

The bike would be powered by a 421 cc single cylinder engine that would churn out about 40 BHP and a peak torque figure of 40 NM. The Transmission mated to the engine would be a 6 speed unit. The upgraded engine would definitely give the bike more grunt to compete with the likes of KTM 390 Adventure as well as other competitors

KTM SMC R And TVS Rtx 300

Beyond teh bikes listed above a few other names that would soon be launched in India would include a super moto from KTM by the name Of KTM SMC R as well as TVS RTX 300 a adventure of roader.
