Your Weekly Dose of Bike Updates: Triumph Tracker 400, Bajaj Pulsar 180, and More!

The Indian two-wheeler market was truly action-packed last week as it witnessed a plethora of major product launches, right from Royal Enfield’s first-ever electric motorcycle to Triumph’s new Tracker 400. In case you missed out on staying up to date with these developments, here’s a round-up.

Triumph Tracker 400 Launch

Triumph launched the Tracker 400 in India with a new downsized 350cc engine. The flat-tracker-inspired motorcycle produces 39.4bhp at 8750rpm and 32Nm at 7500rpm. Compared to the 400cc motor, this is a drop of 2bhp and 5.5Nm. Since GST 2.0 has come into effect, Triumph has been working on downsizing its 400cc motors to under 350cc. This is done to ensure competitive pricing in the Indian market, now that GST on motorcycles with engine capacity above 350cc are taxed at 40 per cent, while sub-350cc motorcycles are taxed at 18 per cent.

Royal Enfield Flying Flea C6 Launch

The Royal Enfield Flying Flea C6 electric motorcycle was launched in India at Rs. 2.79 lakh, ex-showroom. However, if you go for the Battery-as-a-Service option, the motorcycle will set you back by Rs. 1.99 lakh. It is powered by a 15.4kW PMSM motor that produces 20.6bhp and 60Nm, while the claimed top speed stands at 115kmph. It uses a 3.91kWh battery pack with a claimed IDC range of 154km. The bike also gets an onboard charger, which can charge the battery from 20 to 80 per cent in 65 minutes using a regular three-pin socket.

2026 Bajaj Pulsar 180 Launch

The 2026 Bajaj Pulsar 180 was launched in India at an ex-showroom price of Rs. 1.22 lakh. The motorcycle is positioned between the Bajaj Pulsar 150 and the Bajaj Pulsar 220F. The bike is powered by a 178.61cc, single-cylinder, air/oil-cooled engine that produces 16.77bhp at 8,500rpm and 15Nm of peak torque at 6,500rpm. Although we haven’t tested the latest model, this engine is known for its strong mid-range performance, making it ideal for both city commutes and highway runs.

BMW F 450 GS Launch Date

BMW Motorrad has teased the launch of the much-anticipated F 450 GS on its social media handles, hinting at an India debut on 23 April, 2026. The F 450 GS marks a significant step forward for BMW in the entry-level ADV space, as it will replace the now-discontinued BMW G 310 GS in India. It will be exclusively manufactured in India by TVS Motor Company at its Hosur facility. Powering the new BMW F 450 GS is a 420cc, liquid-cooled, parallel-twin engine that produces 48bhp and 43Nm of peak torque.

Bajaj Dominar 400 Price Reduced

The new Bajaj Dominar 400 with a smaller 350cc engine has started reaching select dealerships in India. The reduced engine displacement has resulted in the bike attracting a lower 18 per cent GST, thereby bringing the ex-showroom price down by as much as Rs. 37,000. As per our dealer sources, the new Bajaj Dominar 400, with a 350cc engine, is priced at Rs. 2.03 lakh, ex-showroom, as against the Rs. 2.40 lakh price tag of its older 400cc iteration.
