Weekly Bike News Wrapup: Exciting Launches, New Teasers And More highlights

This week was quite an action packed one and we got to see some exciting updates in the two-wheeler space. We witnessed some launches, got interesting news of a very iconic British brand coming to India, and more. Here’s a brief overview of the top headliners of the week:

2025 Benelli TRK 502 Range Launched

Weekly Bike News Wrapup: Exciting Launches, New Teasers And More details

Benelli India recently launched the 2025 TRK 502 range in the country. The two bikes under the ADV lineup, the TRK 502 and TRK 502 X have received a lot of much-needed changes both in terms of its underpinnings and features. The bike now comes with a new 5-inch TFT console with smartphone connectivity and related features. But where Benelli has really made real improvements is on the mechanical side of things. The TRK 502X now gets tubeless spoke wheels and more!

Triumph Street Scrambler Spotted Testing

A new Triumph bike has been spotted testing in Europe, and judging by the looks it is likely to be slotted right between the Speed 400 and the Scrambler 400 X. The bike features a lot of the same design and styling cues as we have seen on the Triumph Scrambler 400X, including block-pattern tyres and a similar twin-muffler exhaust. But what’s surprising is that this bike runs 17-inch wheels at both ends. So what exactly could it be called? Here’s what we think.

Details About Norton Bikes Coming To India

Norton Motorcycles is a British brand with a rich history and legacy. With the recently announced India-UK free trade agreement (FTA) it is likely that the brand will have several positive impacts affecting its India launch.

It currently has 3 bikes in its lineup: The Commando 961, the V4CR, and the V4SV. All of these bikes can be expected to arrive in India by the end of next year, at a relatively more affordable price point!

KTM Going To Become An Indian Company?

KTM has been going through financial trouble for a while now, and recently Bajaj had infused fresh funds into the company. Now, the brand is still not in the clear, and is dealing with supply chain issues in their Austrian plant. Bajaj Auto will likely be helping KTM with infusion of more funds down the line to help solve these issues.

Rajiv Bajaj had hinted in a recent interview that its stake in KTM may go up. Does this mean KTM may become an Indian brand? Well, here’s what we think.

Honda CBR650R And CB650R E-Clutch Variants Teased

Weekly Bike News Wrapup: Exciting Launches, New Teasers And More glimpse

One of the hardest things to master for beginner motorcyclists is clutch control, this is even harder on big bikes. Honda has introduced a new E-Clutch technology which makes it easy for riders to ride the Honda CBR650R and Honda CB650R without having to use the clutch. Both the bikes were teased on the brand’s official social media, and could be coming to India very soon.
