The prices start at Rs 1.10 lakh for the Rizta S, going up to Rs 1.25 lakh for the Rizta Z (2.9 kWh) and Rs 30,000 more for the larger 3.7-kWh battery version of the Rizta Z (all ex-showroom).

The new Husqvarna Svartpilen 801 is here, rolling on cast alloy wheels and dropping all pretence of being even remotely an off-roader (Svartpilen 701 came with spoke wheels). The only passing nod to off-road ability are the Pirelli MT60 RS tyres it comes shod with. The Ducati Scrambler Icon also gets the same tyres and it is quite evident the Husky has the Duc in its crosshairs.

BMW announced their partnership with NORDOEL back in March 2023 for the development of this new fuel and the aim is to reduce the carbon footprint for and, in turn, overall environmental impact of racing. BMW and NORDOEL have developed the fuel using advanced technology and sustainable production processes that results in a regenerative share of a minimum of 40 per cent, which means it reduces CO2 emissions during the production process as well. The first time this CO2-reduced RacE-Fuel WSBK R40-A was used was during the WSBK Season Opener in Australia this year.
