Your Weekly Dose of Bike Updates: Royal Enfield Scram 450, Bajaj Avenger Street 220, and More!

The Indian two-wheeler market was deprived of major launches. However, updates related to upcoming offerings kept the excitement going. And following our Sunday ritual, we bring you a round-up of the top bike updates from last week.

2026 QJ SRV 300 Launch

QJMotor launched the 2026 SRV 300 in India at Rs. 3.29 lakh (ex-showroom). For 2026, the QJMotor SRV 300 retains its core mechanical setup but benefits from a series of cosmetic and feature updates aimed at refreshing its appeal. That said, compared to the older model, the price has been hiked by Rs. 32,000. The highlight of the bike is its 296cc, V-twin engine that produces 30.3bhp at 9,000rpm and 26Nm at 5,000rpm.

TVS iQube S 4.7kWh Launch

TVS Motor Company launched a new variant of its electric scooter, the TVS iQube S, with a bigger 4.7 kWh battery pack. The scooter is priced at Rs. 1,37,142 (effective ex-showroom, Delhi, including subsidies). The larger 4.7kWh battery pack delivers an IDC range of 175km on a single charge. This is a significant increment over the older 3.5kWh trim, which was claimed to deliver a range of 145km. Apart from the battery upgrade, the scooter is now offered in two new dual-tone colour options – Purple Beige and Blue Beige.

Bajaj Avenger Street 220 Launch Soon

Bajaj Auto is planning to launch the Avenger Street 220 in India, as the motorcycle has been listed on its official website. While the launch timeline isn’t revealed yet, we expect the bike to be launched later this month. The Bajaj Avenger Cruise 220 is priced at Rs. 1.29 lakh (ex-showroom), and we expect the Street 220 to be priced a few thousand lower than the Cruise. Moreover, Bajaj seems to have discontinued the Avenger Street 160 in India, as the model has been removed from Bajaj’s official website.

Royal Enfield Scram 450 Incoming

Royal Enfield has been working on the Scram 450, according to our sources. It will be the third bike based on the 452cc Sherpa platform, and is expected to be positioned as a middle-ground motorcycle for customers looking for a good mix of road and off-road performance. Powering the upcoming Scrambler would be the same 452cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder, Sherpa engine producing 39.4bhp and 39Nm. The fuel tank might be the same 11-litre tank that we have seen on Guerrilla 450, to reduce weight.

Yamaha Price Hike

Yamaha hiked prices of most of its two-wheelers in India, including the popular R15 V4, MT 15 V2, and XSR 155. The biggest increment has been given to the former, and the entry-level sportbike has become pricier by Rs. 4,900. Even the scooters, including the Fascino 125 and RayZR 125 have gotten dearer by up to Rs. 2,200. Similar treatment has been given to the entire FZ series but the price hike is marginal in their case.
