New Delhi: A new roadster motorbike being developed by Triumph and Bajaj Auto should be released in India by the end of 2023. The bike has now been spotted testing here with components like spoke wheels, a bigger saree guard and crash guard. It should be powered by a single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine.
In January 2020, Triumph and Bajaj Auto signed a contract to manufacture budget-friendly motorcycles. That collaboration will drive the upcoming vehicle.
The two-wheeler will compete with rivals like Zontes GK350, Honda CB300R, and BMW G 310 R at a price tag that is likely to be competitive on our shores. Competition in the market will undoubtedly intensify.
