Triumph Motorcycles India has launched its flagship adventure bike - Triumph Tiger 1200, in India today, at Rs. 17 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi) and we have all the highlights from the launch here.

The 2018 Triumph Tiger 1200 gets over 100 changes in comparison to the old model. Also, the new bike weighs 10 kg less than the previous model.

The Honda Africa Twin turned out to be a highly appreciated model when the bike maker introduced it in India last year, and now Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India (HMSI) is gearing up to introduce the 2018 version soon. Honda dealers will start accepting bookings for the 2018 Honda Africa Twin later this month while deliveries are expected to commence in July this year.

Electric vehicles in India will finally have some differentiation from their internal combustion counterparts on the road. All electric vehicles in India will soon get a new (and we think rather cool) green license plate. The government yesterday approved of this new move to a different coloured plate specially for zero emissions vehicles for both private and commercial use. The private electric vehicles will have a green backing and white fonts while commercial electric vehicles will have a green background and yellow fonts. These will also be applicable to electric busses and other electric commercial vehicles that are road legal.

This is the second Race Edition model from TVS after it launched the Apache RTR 160 Race Edition a few weeks ago.

Scrambler motorcycles are getting popular globally and after Ducati, it is Triumph Motorcycles that will be expanding its Scrambler range with a larger capacity engine. While the upcoming Triumph Scrambler 1200 was spotted testing earlier this year, a report suggests that there will be a high-spec version of the Triumph Scrambler 1200, along with an entry-level version also be a part of the line-up.

The Indonesian spec KTM 200 Duke is manufactured in India itself and gets lighter alloys along with a single-channel ABS system.

Triumph India will launch the new-gen Tiger 1200 in India on 11th May 2018. We expect the prices of the motorcycle from Rs. 17.5 lakh.
