The Indian two-wheeler industry is buzzing with new bike launches. First, Kawasaki cut its KLX 230 price dramatically. Next, KTM introduced the sporty 160 Duke for keen street riders. We also saw updates like the 2025 Yezdi Roadster, a fresh shade for Hunter 350, and a TVS Ntorq 150 teaser. Each bike brings something different: price drops, power, colors, and tech. Let us give you all the details.

2026 Kawasaki KLX 230: Big Price Drop

 
Kawasaki slashed the 2026 KLX 230 price by Rs 1.3 lakh. Now it costs Rs 1.99 lakh ex-showroom. The cut came from moving production to India instead of importing it fully assembled. This makes it a closer rival to the Hero Xpulse 210, priced between Rs 1.76 and 1.86 lakh. The bike keeps its 233 cc air-cooled engine, but now has revised suspension, single-channel ABS, and a 255 mm ground clearance.

KTM 160 Duke Launched in India 

 
KTM launched the 160 Duke in India at Rs 1.85 lakh ex-showroom. It uses a 164.2 cc liquid-cooled engine making around 18.7 bhp and 15.5 Nm torque. The bike borrows tech and chassis from the 200 Duke, including a steel trellis frame, WP USD forks, and dual-channel ABS. Moreover, the features include full-LED lighting, an LCD with Bluetooth, and KTM Connect app. It’s now KTM’s most affordable Duke.

2025 Yezdi Roadster Launched in India 

 
The 2025 Yezdi Roadster launched at around Rs 2.10 lakh. It features a new 334 cc liquid-cooled single engine with 28.6 bhp and 30 Nm torque. The Yezdi bike now has a wider rear tyre and a bolder stance. You can pick from six factory custom kits: options include dual-tone paint, LED indicators, special handlebars, and a removable pillion seat. It’s fun, customisable, and keeps warranty intact.

Royal Enfield Hunter 350 Now in New Colour Option 

 
Royal Enfield added a new Graphite Grey colour for the Hunter 350. This motorcycle is priced at about Rs 1.77 lakh, and it's placed in the mid variant line-up. Earlier, this variant came only in Rio White and Dapper Grey. The new shade brings a modern, subtle look, complemented by neon yellow highlights to boost its style.

TVS Ntorq 150: The Teaser Drops Hints

 
TVS teased the new Ntorq 150 ahead of launch. The teaser shows just the headlamp and plays the exhaust sound. No confirmed specs yet, but it comes with a fresh 150 cc engine and sportier design. The image suggests sharp lines and four projectors up front. Fans expect a modern, peppy scooter when it arrives.
