This week was full of surprises and we saw everything from launches to teasers of what’s to come. If you weren’t keeping up with the news don’t worry, this wrapup will bring you up to speed. 

Hero Mavrick Launched

Hero started this week by launching their own motorcycle built on the Harley-Davidson X440 platform, the Hero Mavrick 440. The bike comes with the same 440cc air/oil-cooled engine as the Harley-Davidson X440 but the one on the Mavrick produces 2Nm less torque bringing the power figures to 28PS and 36Nm. Here’s the price and other details. 

2024 Bajaj Pulsar NS200 Teased

Bajaj has been working on bringing new updates to its Pulsar lineup, with the Pulsar N150 and N160 getting new instrument consoles last week. Now the brand is focusing on the Pulsar NS200, the updated bike was first teased on social media but we didn’t get to see much at the time and weren’t sure what to expect. 

Later they dropped another teaser and now we have a clearer picture of what Bajaj is bringing to the table with this update and it is definitely a game changer. Here is what the new update brings.

Kawasaki

Kawasaki kicked this week off by discontinuing the Kawasaki Versys 1000 in India. But it seems like the Japanese manufacturer has other plans, and is likely going to bring the Kawasaki Versys X 300 to India. 

We believe so because the bike was spotted testing recently and judging by the images we have been able to get a good idea of what to expect from this upcoming ADV. To know all the details, check out our story here.

Jawa this week unveiled a new colour for the recently launched Jawa 350. It is a shade of dark blue, with the tank getting a triple-tone finish. With this new colour scheme the bike now comes with 4 colours on offer. Here’s everything you need to know about this new colour.
