Coming to INDIA! Best Bikes From EICMA 2024 (KTM, BMW, Aprilia, Royal Enfield & more) - ZigAnalysis

[@shubhromu]

KTM pulled a nice joke. They launched everything else except for the 390.... Hahaha

[@russelkindo7705]

they will launch the other 390s in 2025 idiot

[@PRAG3]

I'm so mad at them for doing this, Watched the whole launch event in anticipation just to get disappointed

[@harshsoni6255]

The launch is not over yet my friend they will have another launch of some other bikes, we should understand that if they are launching motorcycles they have to make sure that it reaches all the dealerships on time, can't do it with 10 bikes and i have heard that bookings for 390 have started unofficially

[@PRAG3]

@@harshsoni6255 They should launch their bikes according to the demands of customers. 390 currently has the highest demand and will be sold the highest numbers. Some people like me are waiting for the new 390 for more than half a year.

[@harshsoni6255]

@@PRAG3 i would suggest just wait and watch

[@shubhamjuvatkar4023]

The reason Hero brought 250CC instead of the 440 engine is because it will first try to capture the KTM fanbase first with the premium elements. After that it will give the option of higher CC engines

[@AnandSingh-zg9iw]

In my opinion, the Hero 250R is definitely going to sell well since the 250cc segment isn't too crowded right now. You've got the TVS 200 and KTM 250, but after that, it jumps straight to the 300cc bikes, which are a lot pricier. If Hero comes out with a good-looking street fighter, it could really hit the sweet spot. And as for the Aprilia 457 - that bike is absolutely going to shake up the market! A lot of us were hesitant about the 457 because of its aggressive riding position, but with this new version? Hell yeah, it's gonna be a game-changer!

[@yogeshtambat4851]

Ktm 390 adventure. Do not repeatedly say low seat height, low seat height. we want a high bike only.

[@FinanceMadeEasy-TH]

For such a long video, it is essential to have chapters! Why did Zigwheels not understand that!?

[@Rapid_Shift]

Overestimating their importance.. ain't nobody got time for that.. dislike them just for that..

[@Moonlight-zp5rj]

Am I watching MotorInc?

[@FinanceMadeEasy-TH]

Don't understand why there is so much confusion with Hero in a mature journalist like PD's mind! Xpulse 210 is more of a continuous update of the current Xpulse with new everything! After that, the Xpulse brand is going to have multiple offerings for different segments, with entry level 210 cc and larger 421 cc that is going to come in 2025. Next, the 250 cc products are going to be additions to the current portfolio, where Xtreme and Karizma brands will have multiple engine displacement options like what KTM does. So there will be (for all the three brands, Xpulse, Karizma and Xtreme) multiple displacement bikes for different segments under different unified brand names! As simple as that!

[@okletzgo4133]

BMW F 450gs is a concept for European Market only, yesterday tvs CEO has confirmed that it is not gonna be launched in INDIA

[@arnabchaki9526]

PD's smile through out the video is like that of a proud dad 😄

[@PriyadarshanBawikar]

🤣

[@shaarodmahanta2473]

2:38 Supermoto will work in India, atleast you guys should encourage #ktmindia to bring this to Indian market I'm pretty sure there're many people out there like me who is willing to go for it. Tbh that's the only bike from KTM fleet I'm excited about

[@saurav.bishtt]

Well well finally Indian r getting better stuff.... Thanks #ktm_india

[@yashagrawal1512]

Smc will be the best for one who enjoy riding No drama - without any useless duke big panels Smc good for road and even lighter snd no parts break easyly

[@greetingsman]

Fuuuuccckk..PD ko pehchaan hi nai paya yaar..itne time k baad ye channel dekh raha. Tumlog PD ko treadmill pe kaam karwa rahe kya..PD bro, you are looking very good. I was concerned for a few days, I thought you were looking lean and your face looked tired. But now it is different. You look good really good. You are like generations apart from the original PD I saw back in the day with the belly (no offense intended). Could'nt recognize you until the face shot came. Way to go bro. 👍🏾

[@PriyadarshanBawikar]

Thanks bro... losing weight was one thing. but keeping the weight off is another matter altogether 😅

[@marsxavier5956]

i will be sad if they don't launch the ktm 390 SMC in india

[@darktitan8085]

I also would like it but we have enough chappris with duke only, imagine what will happen if those retards get a supermoto.

[@bluntrider8449]

Supe4moto will make more sense on indian roads. Giving you street bike hooligan but built for offroad as well by slapping offroad tyre. We buy for fun but one with supermoto, its fun and both practical.

[@darktitan8085]

Yes but that will also mean that it can easily become prime target for chappris. As much as I'd like to see a ktm-sm, it's not a great idea. Besides nobody has a problem with ground clearance on bikes, its mostly a made up issue by car buyers who haven't driven yet.

[@abhaschandrakumar]

PB looking so dapper!!!

[@PriyadarshanBawikar]

Thank you bro...

[@nothonnatell]

Planning to buy cb350rs is there any update nearby please tell? Should i buy one now

[@vikramgowda_93]

No updates anytime soon but I think going for the CB300F would be better as it has much more power and also it has good value for money

[@nothonnatell]

@vikramgowda_93 it's a good bike but i need something neo retro soo!!?

[@viewfrommyvisor]

Nice t-shirt Priyadarshan ❤

[@PriyadarshanBawikar]

Thanks man ❤

[@anandshikarkhane1614]

Big bikes in India are just like Hrithik having six fingers but have no use until girlfriend asks for it. Big bikes ask Empty roads. India with an empty roads 😂😂😂 so chill 210cc engine is enough for us.

[@balsara675]

600 is good

what about Yamaha Tenere 700😶‍🌫😶‍🌫

Still no XSR?

[@onemorethompson]

You just brushed past that statement, why wont swappable batteries work in India?

[@PriyadarshanBawikar]

The issue with swappable batteries is that they require significant more investment from the manufacturer. From what I understand, manufactures need to make 1.5x more batteries than EVs to sustain a swapping ecosystem. That might work great in a small country like Taiwan where Gogoro has setup just such a system. But on a scale like India, it becomes almost unfeasible IMHO. On top of that, each manufacturer has their own proprietary battery, which means that if Honda were to bring a scooter with swappable batteries, no other manufacturer will be able to use their swap stations. If manufacturers come together and make a universal battery standard... then we're talking.

[@onemorethompson]

​@@PriyadarshanBawikar Convenience is king. If we want people to adopt EV scooters, it’s not just important - it’s everything. '1.5x the inventory'? So what? Yes, a swappable battery system means more batteries. But that’s not a cost problem - it’s a business opportunity. Leasing batteries spreads the cost over years, lowers the price for consumers upfront and creates steady revenue for manufacturers. Batteries last longer than most people own their vehicles anyway. Stop looking at it as a hurdle, it’s an asset. India’s scale is perfect, not a problem. India’s cities are packed and people ride short distances. That’s not a downside - it’s ideal. Swapping hubs can focus on urban clusters where the action is, just like Gogoro did in Taiwan. We don’t need to cover the whole country on Day One. Start where it makes sense and grow from there. Proprietary batteries? Please. Remember when every phone charger was different? Then USB and Type-C came along and fixed that mess. The same thing can happen here. If the government or manufacturers don’t get it together and agree on a universal battery standard, they’re just leaving money on the table. A shared system helps everyone win. Look at UPI-it’s a perfect example of how shared infrastructure can revolutionize an entire market. Convenience wins every time. Think about it. Swappable batteries solve the big pain points: - No more range anxiety. Pull in, swap and go. Done in minutes. - No more “my battery died, so now my scooter is junk.” Just get a new one. - No more “I don’t have a private garage to charge my EV.” You don’t need one. - Lower upfront costs. Lease the battery and the scooter becomes affordable for way more people. Human behavior - People hate friction. They’ll always pick what’s easier, faster and cheaper. And swapping beats waiting hours to charge every single time. A paradigm shift doesn’t come easy, but it’s worth it. Yes, setting up the infrastructure is work. But once it’s there, it changes everything. Imagine a world where range anxiety and battery worries are dead. That’s the future swappable batteries can deliver. It’s not just a nice-to-have, it’s the way forward.

[@onemorethompson]

@PriyadarshanBawikar Saying that I'll add.. Honda has the tech, but where’s the ambition? Honda and the Japanese manufacturers? They’ve been playing it too safe in India. They’ve got the tools to pull off something like swappable batteries, but they’re moving at a snail’s pace in a market that demands bold moves. And honestly, why should we wait for Honda? Some of our older Indian giants know this market inside out. They understand the chaos, the needs and the scale better than anyone. Swappable batteries aren’t just a tech challenge - they’re a market opportunity screaming for someone to grab it.

Hero xpulse should have been a 250.

[@BtechGarage]

First view and first like....from btech garage....please do support us sir!

[@v.onthemove]

Agree...Hero's strategy sounds confusing to me too. If you guys can contact them to know, might be usefull. The Karizma's 210 now is used for Xpulse. While the new Karizma & its naked brother will get a new 250 (but not the Xpulse). The Maverick & Harley use the 440 engine, but for Xpulse again another new 400 engine. Why so many engines? Even KTM is able to pull off using 1 engines across genres... Looks like Hero is slogging too much for too little.

[@anishghosh9563]

So the thing is, the 210 is a cheaper and lighter engine so it suits xpulse more whereas the 250 is way more sportier and somewhat heavier and not so cheap. About the 440 engine that's meant to be a cruiser engine with long torque band, slow revving calm engine cannot be used for a off-road bike that's why. About KTM, all of their bikes are kinda sporty so they can get away with using 1 engine for every (bajaj is famous for making 300 models on a single engine)

What about it pajeet ?

[@ilogicalbeing85]

I will take the SMC 390 any day over the duke 390. I would prefer a tubeless tyre version though, spoke or alloy is not a big concern but tubeless tyres are. Another thing I would like to say is please bring some original setup from your end. You guys just look like a cheap comedy spoof of Moinc. And your scripts are poorly written. It actually started to sound irritating after about four and a half minutes and that's when I closed your video!
