Motorcycles Launched in April 2026: BMW F 450 GS, BSA Scrambler 650, and More!

The month of April was quite action-packed with a host of major motorcycle launches taking place. From BMW F 450 GS to KTM and Triumph’s 350cc offerings, the industry witnessed a lot of new entrants. In that case, let’s take a quick look back at what April brought for us before we enter May.

2026 Yezdi Scrambler 350

Classic Legends launched the new 2026 version of the Yezdi Scrambler in India. The motorcycle has been priced at Rs. 2 lakh, which makes it around Rs. 4,000 more expensive than the outgoing model. The chassis of the bike has been optimised better with added stiffness, with the intention of making it handle better. The seat height has gone up by 13mm and stands at 813mm now. In terms of features, what’s new is traction control, which can be used in 3 preset modes. The 334cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine has also been tuned to produce marginally more power and torque.

BSA Scrambler 650

Classic Legends also introduced the BSA Scrambler 650 with a starting price of Rs. 3.25 lakh. Powering the bike is a 652cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder, DOHC, four-valve engine which develops 44.5bhp and 55Nm at 4,000rpm. Key dimensions include 820mm seat height, 1,465mm wheelbase and 187mm ground clearance. The Scrambler 650 gets 41mm telescopic forks at the front and twin rear shock absorbers, along with wire-spoke wheels, 19-17-inch wheels. Braking is handled by a 320mm front disc and a 255mm rear disc with Brembo calipers. You also get traction control to deal with changing surfaces.

BMW F 450 GS

The BMW F 450 GS entered the Indian ADV fray with a starting price of Rs. 4.70 lakh for the base variant. It is the new entry point in BMW’s expansive ‘GS’ world as it replaces the G 310 GS in India. The highlight of the bike is a new 420cc, liquid-cooled, parallel-twin engine that makes 48bhp at 8,750rpm and 43Nm at 6,750rpm. It is paired with a six-speed gearbox. Under the sharply styled bodywork is a steel trellis frame that is suspended by a USD fork and a monoshock. The bike rides on a 19-inch front wheel and 17-inch rear wheel setup.

KTM’s 350cc Adventure and Duke

KTM launched the 350cc versions of the Adventure and Duke with a downsized engine and significantly lower price tags as compared to their corresponding 399cc versions. While the 390 Adventure costs Rs. 2.81 lakh, the 390 Duke is pegged at Rs. 2.77 lakh. Both bikes are powered by a 349cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine that produces 41bhp and 33.5Nm. These figures are considerably lower than the 399cc motor, which makes 45bhp and 39Nm.

350cc Bajaj Dominar 400

Bajaj launched the 2026 Dominar 400 featuring the downsized 350cc engine. The motorcycle is priced at Rs. 2.03 lakh, ex-showroom, which makes it Rs. 37,000 more affordable than before. Bajaj has brought the engine displacement down to 349.13cc from the previous 373cc. This has resulted in a marginal 0.6bhp increment in the power output, which stands at 40.04bhp now. The maximum torque output, meanwhile, is 33.2Nm at 7,500, which is down by 1.8Nm and arrives a bit earlier than before on the rev band.

Royal Enfield Flying Flea C6

The Royal Enfield Flying Flea C6 electric motorcycle debuted 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 at 3,500rpm 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

The Bajaj Pulsar 180 made a comeback at an ex-showroom price of Rs. 1,22,490. The motorcycle is positioned between the Bajaj Pulsar 150 and the Bajaj Pulsar 220F. The Pulsar 180 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.

Triumph Tracker 400

Triumph launched the Tracker 400 in India, but in a 350cc avatar. It carries the same looks and 400 badging as the international-spec Tracker 400. The flat-tracker-inspired motorcycle is powered by a 350cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder motor producing 39.4bhp at 8750rpm and 32Nm at 7500rpm. Compared to the 400cc motor, this is a drop of 2bhp and 5.5Nm. The international-spec Tracker 400 had the same state of tune as the Thruxton 400, so we can expect the Thruxton 350 to produce similar power and torque figures.

350cc Triumphs

Besides the Tracker 400, Triumph also launched the more affordable 350cc versions of its existing 400 line-up, including the Speed 400, Speed T4, Scrambler 400, Scrambler 400 XC, and Thruxton 400. All bikes have witnessed a price drop of up to Rs. 10,000. Their new 350cc engine develops 36.49bhp at 8,500rpm and 32Nm at 7,000rpm. In comparison, the previous 399cc engine used to make 39.45bhp at 8,000rpm and 37.5Nm at 6,500rpm. The new engine not only makes lower power and torque but one also needs to rev the engine more to access them.
