UPCOMING BIKES IN 2024
BBC TopGear India|January 2024
2023 was a glorious year for the Indian motorcycling scenario. Many groundbreaking products landed on our shores, carrying enough artillery to change the course of the industry. Many disruptive partnerships were forged, many industry standards were thrashed, only for the level to go several notches above. The year 2024 is looking as gleaming as the year that has already passed and here are some of the most hotly anticipated motorcycles in 2024:
UPCOMING BIKES IN 2024

ROYAL ENFIELD SCRAMBLER 650

Royal Enfield has struck gold with the 650cc platform as it has already spawned three different motorcycles and we are expecting the fourth one to join the fray in 2024. As spy shots suggest, the Scrambler 650 has the highest chance of being the next product in RE's portfolio with its 650cc twin-cylinder beating heart. Apart from cosmetic tweaks that would certify it as a Scrambler, it is also bound to get a 19-inch front and 17-inch rear wheel. We are also expecting RE to bless it with higher ground clearance and a minor bump in suspension travel as well.

HERO 440

The Harley-Davidson X400 broke many traditions but broke many ground as well, sort of reforming the 350-500cc roadster segment. Hero Motocorp will soon be launching its own version of the X440 which will be powered by the same 440cc, air/oil-cooled, single-cylinder engine that puts down 27.37PS and 38NM. Expect Hero's version to get distinctive styling and slight revisions in the rider's triangle as well.

RE HUNTER 450

The Himalayan 450 has heralded a new platform for Royal Enfield and as the traditional route goes, we are expecting RE to roll out multiple products based on the same platform. The second one could be the Hunter 450 which has already been spied on multiple occasions. It is going to get a 17-inch front end as compared to the ADV-centric 21-inch hoop found in the Himalayan. The styling also, will be more in line with roadsters.

HONDA NX 500

IMPRACTICAL YET IRRESISTIBLE

Exactly ten years ago, I took my first international trip. It was to Bahrain, a country of endless desert and skyscrapers, where my aunt and uncle lived. Among their friends and neighbours, one particular gentleman, upon learning I was a budding petrolhead, took an entire day off work to take me around the city’s showrooms to see some “normal” Middle East traffic.
