The new year kicks off with a lineup of motorcycles aimed at diverse riders, ranging from vintage-inspired models to advanced adventure bikes. Here’s an overview of the highly anticipated two-wheelers set to launch in January 2025.

Royal Enfield Classic 650: Expanding Horizons

Royal Enfield is preparing to introduce its Classic 650 to the Indian market after debuting it in Europe. The motorcycle, unveiled at EICMA 2024 in Milan, was showcased at Motoverse 2024 in Goa and is expected to hit Indian roads in January.

Built on the Shotgun 650 platform, the Classic 650 integrates a 648cc parallel-twin engine that delivers 47 bhp at 7,250 rpm and 52.3 Nm of torque at 5,620 rpm. A 6-speed transmission with a slipper-assist clutch completes the setup.

Royal Enfield Scram 440: Enhanced Performance

The revamped Scram 440, also unveiled at Motoverse 2024, will have its pricing revealed in January. This model features a 443cc air-cooled single-cylinder engine producing 25.4 bhp at 6,250 rpm and 34 Nm of torque at 4,000 rpm.

With a slight increase in bore size, the updated engine provides improved low-end torque, enhancing initial acceleration. A 6-speed gearbox replaces the previous 5-speed unit, coupled with a lighter clutch for a refined riding experience.

KTM 390 Adventure S and Enduro R: A Dual Threat

KTM recently unveiled the 390 Adventure S and, for the first time in India, the Enduro R at India Bike Week in December. Both models share the same 399cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine paired with a six-speed gearbox.

The Adventure S caters to riders seeking versatility, featuring USD forks, a monoshock rear suspension, a 21-17 wheel setup, a TFT console, lean-sensitive ABS, traction control, and other advanced electronics.

For off-road enthusiasts, the Enduro R offers a rugged build with adjustable suspension, a smaller LCD display, and options to disable ABS. Its 21-18 wheel combination and stripped-down design emphasize hardcore off-road performance.

Hero Xpulse 210: Dakar-Ready

Hero MotoCorp will unveil the Xpulse 210 in January alongside its participation in the Dakar Rally. First seen at EICMA 2024, this model features a 210cc liquid-cooled engine derived from the Karizma XMR, producing 24.5 bhp and 20.4 Nm of torque.

Equipped with a 6-speed transmission and slipper-assist clutch, the Xpulse 210 boasts 21-inch front and 18-inch rear wheels, adjustable suspension, dual-channel ABS, and 210mm ground clearance, making it a capable off-road contender.

TVS Motor is set to roll out the Ronin DS, an enhanced version of the Ronin series. Displayed at the Motosoul event in Goa, the Ronin DS comes with dual-channel ABS and two new colors, Glacier Silver and Charcoal Ember.

Powered by a 225.9cc oil-cooled single-cylinder engine, it delivers 14.8 bhp at 7,750 rpm and 19.93 Nm of torque at 3,750 rpm, paired with a 5-speed gearbox.
