Upcoming motorcycles that will launch in India soon: Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 to Yamaha R3 and MT-03

<p>2023 will soon be over and it was a pretty great year for motorcycle enthusiasts. We got a lot of motorcycles that people have been waiting for a long time. There is the Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650, Triumph Speed 400 and Scrambler 400 X and a new generation of KTM Dukes. However, the year has not ended yet and there are a few motorcycles that we will be seeing soon in the Indian market. Here are four new motorcycles that will be launching soon in India.</p>

<p>The Himalayan 450 might be the motorcycle which has created the most hype this year. Royal Enfield will launch the Himalayan 450 on 24th November at Motoverse. The new Himalayan shares nothing with the Himalayan 411 which the 450 replaces in the lineup.</p><p>The Himalayan 450 features an all-new liquid-cooled engine which has been named Sherpa 450. It produces 39.5 bhp at 8,000 rpm and 40 Nm at 5,500 rpm. It is mated to a 6-speed gearbox with slip and assist clutch.</p>

<p>Yamaha has finally decided to bring its big bikes to the Indian market. The first two motorcycles to land on our Indian shores are the R3 and MT-03. Both motorcycles will come through the CBU route so they will not be very aggressively priced. The R3 is a fully faired motorcycle whereas the MT-03 will be a naked streetfighter. Yamaha will be launching both motorcycles on 15th December.</p><p>Both motorcycles are powered by a 321 cc, liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine that produces 41.4 bhp of peak power and 29.6 Nm of maximum torque. The engine is mated to a six-speed gearbox with a slip and assist clutch.</p>

<p>Yamaha R3 and MT-03</p>

<p>Aprilia India recently launched the RS457 in the global market. The motorcycle will be made-in-India and will go on sale in India by the end of December or early next year. The RS457 looks like a smaller version of the RS660. The motorcycle was also showcased at MotoGP 2023. Powering the motorcycle is a 457 cc, liquid-cooled, DOHC, parallel-twin engine tuned for 47 bhp and is mated to a 6-speed gearbox.</p>

Ever wondered why there is no CNG car in India with AMT or automatic transmission? Here is why

<p>Compressed Natural Gas, abbreviated as CNG, is one of the cleaner and popular gas-based automotive fuel options in the market. Over the last few years, CNG has witnessed rapidly rising demand and sales across the country due to various factors. It is considered a significantly cheaper fuel alternative fuel compared to petrol and diesel, while CNG also offers a substantially lower cost of ownership to vehicle owners. Besides that, it offers significantly higher fuel economy than petrol or diesel. The increasing focus on greener mobility has enhanced the demand for CNG in India over the last few years.</p><p>Buoyed by the rising demand, several car manufacturers are launching passenger vehicles with factory-fitted CNG kits. Besides that, many people opt for aftermarket CNG kit installation on their vehicles. The benefits of the CNG kit-equipped vehicles are multiple. While these cars can run on both petrol and CNG, they also offer a significantly lower cost of ownership.</p><p>(Also read: <a target="_blank" href="https://auto.hindustantimes.com/auto/cars/cng-cars-finding-the-limelight-in-india-playing-a-win-win-for-automakers-and-consumers-41698563425140.html">CNG cars lighting up Indian passenger vehicle market. Why consumers prefer gas over petrol or diesel</a>)</p><p>While CNG cars are witnessing a rise in demand and sales across India, the non-availability of automatic or automated manual transmission with these vehicles is a concern for many consumers. AMT or automatic transmission make driving easier and more convenient for drivers, especially in highly congested bumper-to-bumper traffic conditions.</p><p>Here are some truly technical reasons why the CNG cars don't come with AMT or automatic transmission, but manual gearbox only.</p>

Ertiga CNG

<p>A CNG powertrain lacks low-end torque and takes its own time to gain pace. This puts pressure on the engine block to deliver power at a particular instant. The AMT or automatic transmission-equipped cars come with detuned clutches as they are unable to withstand heavy torque and are prone to overheating. Hence, in the need of an instant power requirement, automatic transmission in a CNG car will lag in upshifting gears.</p>

<p><strong>CNG means lack of low-end power</strong></p>

<p>The automatic gearboxes are meant to stay coupled with driveshafts all the time until they are manually slotted into neutral. The lack of low-end power and torque may result in the automatic transmission in a CNG-propelled car struggling to crawl the vehicle when in drive. This can result in premature wear of the clutch, damaging the vehicle's critical component.</p>

<p><strong>Possibility of premature clutch wear</strong></p>

<p>While driving a CNG car equipped with an automatic transmission, the driver is bound to experience a considerable lag in acceleration as there will be low power output. A powerful engine can overcome this problem if paired with a better transmission setup but will command a higher cost of ownership. This will eventually not fetch the desired sales volume.</p>

<p><strong>Considerable lag in acceleration</strong></p>

<p>CNG cars come with higher upfront costs compared to their petrol-only counterparts. On the other hand, an automatic gearbox-equipped car comes priced considerably higher than its manual transmission-equipped counterpart. Hence, a car with a CNG propulsion system and automatic transmission will command substantially high upfront cost for the consumers.</p>

<p><strong>CNG-automatic combination will impact pricing</strong></p>

Altroz CNG

Punch CNG

Thar

Nexon 

Harrier

Swift

<ul><li>CNG cars and automatic transmissions are among the hot favourite trends in the Indian market, but no car in the country's passenger vehicle market offers a CNG-automatic combination.</li></ul>
