We headed to the manufacturing plant of TVS Motor Company situated in Hosur to experience their futuristic and sporty EV scooter called the TVS X on their test track. Here are our first impressions of this premium and unique offering for the Indian market.

Inclement weather forced us to call a halt to our 18th anniversary celebration ride. However, at the first opportunity we pressed “play” and completed this epic journey.
The Triumph Scrambler 400 X is the second motorcycle to come out of the Bajaj-Triumph partnership and we already knew what to expect after a ride astride the Speed 400. Here are our first impressions about this model after a day spent exploring the outskirts of Pune.

Running out of adjectives that described speed and thrill seemed like a genuine concern when I began writing this review.
The exclusive Kawasaki Ninja ZX-4R has been launched in India for a price of Rs 8.50 lakh (ex-showroom).
One of the most unique bikes in the Indian market today is this 400-cc, inline-four screamer called the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-4R. This is the base variant of the motorcycle and there is also a top-spec ZX-4RR sold in international markets. In terms of styling, this is inspired by its larger siblings, the ZX-6R and the ZX-10R. In India, it will be available only in the ‘Metallic Spark Black’ colour scheme.
The motorcycle complies with the latest BS-VI and OBD norms. At the heart of the Ninja ZX-4R is a 399-cc, in-line, four-cylinder motor churning out 77 hp at 14,500 rpm and a peak torque of 39 Nm at 13,000 rpm. With the Ram Air system, the max power output is increased to 80 hp at 14,500 rpm.
Some of the electronic rider assists include traction control, riding modes, and more. This R variant, unfortunately, misses out on a quickshifter system as standard but can be fit for an additional cost. We hope to ride this screamer soon to bring you our review.
