To add another chapter to Royal Enfield’s legacy of producing cruisers loved by their riders the company has launched its all-new easy cruiser, the Meteor 350 in three variants. It will be available at a starting price of INR 1,75,817 for the Fireball, INR 1,81,326 for the Stellar, and at INR 1,90,536  for the Supernova editions. (all ex-showroom Chennai prices)

The Meteor 350 inherits  its name from another iconic motorcycle of the company in 1950’s. Launched at the end of 1952, the Meteor was a magnificent touring motorcycle with a reputation that has stood the test of time.

Together with the launch of the Meteor 350 comes the company’s Make It Yours - MiY - initiative, an inventive and unique motorcycle personalisation tool. The users can tap into thousands of possible personalisation combinations when they order their motorcycle via the Royal Enfield App, on the website or at a dealership. In addition to the seven  standard colourways, under three editions, MiY allows an additional eight colourway options for customers.

Siddhartha Lal, Managing Director of Eicher Motors Ltd. said, “The Meteor 350 is a charming combination of classic cruiser styling with modern capability. We wanted to build a motorcycle that could ensure a great cruising experience for new, as well as experienced riders.”

Vinod K. Dasari, CEO of Royal Enfield, said, “With the Meteor 350, we wanted to build not just a fabulous motorcycle, but also create a whole new way for people to engage with the brand and transform their purchase and ownership experience. While motorcycle personalisation has grown enormously over the last decade, the options available to create a personalised purchase experience are practically non-existent. We’ve changed that.”

Designed and developed by designers and engineers based at Royal Enfield’s two state-of-the-art technical centres, in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, and Bruntingthorpe, UK, the Meteor 350 is  powered by 349cc air-oil cooled single-cylinder engine delivering 20.2 bhp and 27 Nm of torque at 4,000 rpm.

Customers booking a Meteor 350 will simultaneously be able to opt for Annual Maintenance Contracts (AMC), extended warranty and roadside assistance, all with flexibility built in to suit the requirements of the rider. Another digital innovation that accompanies the launch is the Royal Enfield Mechanic App. This aims to retool and upskill the entire mechanic ecosystem, authorised service centre network and thousands of freelance mechanics who, for generations, have been extensions of the brand’s service network. The Mechanic App is a digitized platform that offers e-diagnostics for easier, faster and precise diagnosis and resolution of most service needs. By simply plugging in a dongle, riders can interface their motorcycle with the RE Mechanic App via a smartphone. The App also includes a range of valuable additional features such as interactive learning modules, service manuals, electronic parts catalogue and online ordering. (MT)

Jawa Yezdi Motorcycles has launched Jawa All Stars at prices starting INR 201,942 (ex-showroom Delhi) for the Aurora Green and Red options, introducing new expressions of the Jawa 42 FJ motorcycle.

The company has positioned All Stars as a branding framework for its rider base, with the 42 FJ serving as the initial vehicle release under the initiative.

The motorcycle features aluminium tank panels, a 790 mm seat height, 178 mm ground clearance and a 12-litre fuel tank. Power comes from a 334-cc liquid-cooled DOHC single-cylinder engine producing 29.17 PS at 7,500 rpm and 29.62 Nm of torque at 5,500 rpm, paired with a six-speed gearbox and twin exhausts.

Anupam Thareja, Co-Founder, Classic Legends, said, “Jawa has always attracted riders who know exactly who they are. They have never followed trends for the sake of it, nor sought attention for making different choices. Over time, we realised there was a shared spirit that connected these riders. Jawa All Stars is our way of recognising and celebrating that spirit. It is a tribute to character, conduct, and courage, the values that have always felt inherently Jawa. The Jawa 42 FJ is the first expression of that philosophy, bringing it to life through contemporary design, performance, and a personality that is unmistakably its own.”

The vehicle chassis consists of a double-cradle frame, 41 mm telescopic front forks and gas-filled twin rear shock absorbers with five-step adjustable preload. Braking is handled by 320 mm front and 240 mm rear discs with dual-channel ABS, fitted to a 100/90-18 front tyre and 140/70 R17 rear tyre. Equipment includes a digital instrument cluster and LED lighting.

The Matte Black and Nebula Blue variants are priced at INR 207,942, while the Chrome edition is listed at INR 215,942. Retail distribution will operate across the company's network of more than 450 sales and service locations in India, supported by warranty coverage of up to four years or 50,000 kilometres.

Bhago Mobility has partnered Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India and Honda Power Pack Energy India to launch an electric last-mile rental service for Delhi Metro passengers.

The service, named BhaGoMo – iRide, has commenced operations at ITO Metro Station, marked as the first of six hub locations finalised with Delhi Metro Rail Corporation.

As per the understanding, passengers will now be able to rent Honda Activa e: scooters at Gate No 3 for hourly or daily durations. The verification will occur through the Bhago app via DigiLocker, while vehicles use swappable batteries compatible with the Honda e:Swap network, which operates across 90 stations and 202 battery exchangers in Delhi NCR.

The partnership combines vehicle supply from Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India, battery swapping infrastructure from Honda Power Pack Energy India, and digital platform management from Bhago Mobility. The companies plan to expand the service model to additional metro networks across Indian cities.

Aditya Goyal, Founder, Bhago Mobility, said, “The ITO launch is a beginning. Together, Bhago and its partners intend to replicate the metro-hub model across the country – taking the same combination of metro-station convenience, Honda-engineered vehicles, battery swapping and AI-powered operations to metro networks and transit hubs in cities across India. The goal is simple: wherever mass transit moves people, an easy, convenient, comfortable, reliable and safe electric last-mile ride should be waiting at the gate. Bhago itself is inspired by Soichiro Honda’s philosophy Yume no Chikara – the Power of Dreams – and Sapno Ki Sawari, the Ride of Dreams, is our expression of it: world-class Japanese engineering, India’s world-class metro, and a platform that keeps the city Always On”

Mutsuo Usui, Director of Sales & Marketing, Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India, said, “This collaboration brings together shared strengths to make electric last-mile mobility more practical and convenient for everyday commuters. It is a meaningful step towards addressing evolving urban mobility needs,”

Takuya Taniguchi, President & CEO, Honda Power Pack Energy India, said, "Battery swapping has already proven itself for commercial EV fleets – now, with BhaGoMo – iRide, we're bringing that same Honda e:Swap convenience to Delhi's daily commuters. This launch at ITO is the first step in a partnership that extends the ease of Delhi Metro travel all the way to the commuter's final destination."

Dr Amit Kumar Jain, Director of Operations & Services at DMRC, said, “DMRC is committed to strengthening last-mile connectivity through safe, convenient and eco-friendly mobility solutions. The iRide initiative by BhaGoMo will offer commuters a sustainable last-mile connectivity option while contributing to reducing pollution. We welcome this initiative and look forward to extending such eco-friendly solutions to more metro stations.”
