RC 125 REVIEW - LOW BUDEGT

KTM RC 125 Not too long ago, I was gushing over and completely smitten by my first motorcycle – a KTM 200 Duke. It was quick, sporty and I must admit, it even kindled a dormant hooligan side I didn’t know I had in me. This was until a friend of mine showed up to my house on his new RC 200. “Same engine, same hardware, can’t be that different.” Boy, was I wrong. That’s because KTM did more than just throw a fairing onto its naked counterpart. Changes to the steering geometry and ergonomics resulted in a motorcycle that was much more engaging to ride. And the effects of this ‘transformation’ are evident on its newest, and smallest addition to the RC range – the RC 125 Well, it carries the RC name, but the 124.7cc, single-cylinder unit is also seen on the 125 Duke and it doesn’t make a whole lot of power. A peak figure of 14.5hp comes in at 9,250rpm, which means you really have to wring out the engine and stay high up in the rev band to get going. And even once you...

BALENO REVIEW 2021 NEW FEATURES AND OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE

Maruti Suzuki baleno In brief, the Baleno is Maruti Suzuki’s largest hatchback. The model retails from Maruti’s premium Nexa outlets and is available with a choice of petrol and mild-hybrid petrol engines. Manual gearboxes are standard fitment, though a petrol-CVT automatic gearbox combo is an option too. In addition to an exterior and equipment upgrade earlier in 2019, the Maruti Baleno petrol engines have also been upgraded to BS6 spec. The smartly turned-out Baleno scores well for practicality with its cabin, which offers more space than many pricier sedans. The boot is generously-sized, too. 2019's update has added colour to the cabin but material quality is mediocre by class standards. The Maruti Suzuki Baleno’s standard 83hp, 1.2-litre petrol engine is peppy, refined and efficient; and the five-speed manual gearbox is also nice to use. City dwellers will find a good combination of efficiency and convenience in the CVT auto variant. The 90hp Baleno Smar...

MAHINDRA XUV300 REVIEW

MAHINDRA XUV 300 Mahindra is on a product roll and has transformed its portfolio by launching three all-new cars in a span of just six months. We’ve extensively reviewed two of them – the Marazzo and Alturas G4, and opine that they are modern, refined, feel upmarket, and competent enough to drive the brand into a promising new direction. The third and the latest addition is a Brezza-rivalling, sub-four-metre SUV that’s been badged ‘XUV300’, which, incidentally, and for once, follows a logical naming sequence as it sits below the XUV500. While the bigger XUV was a game-changing SUV back in the days, the new 300 enters a rapidly growing segment that’s caught the fancy of buyers. This car may be last to the party and may not be exactly revolutionary, but it has a lot to offer, including segment-best equipment and safety kit. High ground clearance and a rugged body cladding for that very desirable SUV look. The XUV300 gets a set of locally developed petrol and diese...

UPCOMING BIKES IN 2021 INDIA

HONDA  India’s second biggest two-wheeler manufacturer launched more new vehicles in 2020 than any of its rivals. With Honda’s BS6 range now in place, 2021 is likely to be the year where we see more premium products for its newly established Big Wing dealership network. The newly launched CB 350 Highness is proving to be quite popular and we expect to see more models on this platform, possibly something with 17-inch wheels this time around. 2021 will also see the return of the CBR650R and perhaps the introduction of the naked CB650R as well.  We’re also expecting to see Honda finally launch its 500cc platform in India, which includes the likes of the CB500X adventure tourer, CBR500 faired bike, CB500 naked and Rebel 500. Which of these will finally arrive is unclear, but at the right price, they all have good potential in our market.  And lastly, Honda promised us that the Forza 300 maxi scooter will return this year, but since it has been replaced internation...
