The two-wheeler market drew attention this week because of new launches and important updates. BMW unveiled a new sports bike, Hero MotoCorp updated its Xtreme series and Royal Enfield brought out a special anniversary edition of the Classic 650. VLF launched a new electric scooter, and TVS made changes to the Raider and Radeon models.

BMW has globally unveiled the F 450 RR, a supersport bike due soon. It is built on the same platform as the F 450 GS and F 450 R. Its design carries a hint of the company's flagship S 1000 RR. With its sporty styling and modern technology, the bike may attract performance enthusiasts. No announcement has yet been made on its launch or price in India.

Hero MotoCorp has launched updated versions of the Xtreme 160R 4V and Xtreme 250R 4V. Both models get changes in looks, technology and hardware. The updates may matter to customers who like sporty commuters and performance bikes.

To mark the company's 125-year journey, Royal Enfield has launched the Classic 650 125th Anniversary Edition. Only 125 units of this special edition will be offered for sale in India. Because of the small number, the model may appeal to brand loyalists and collectors.

VLF India has launched a new electric scooter called the Strada in India. Its ex-showroom Delhi price starts at Rs 1.20 lakh. The scooter comes in 2 variants and 4 colour options. It is one more option for customers looking at a new model in the electric scooter market.

TVS has launched an updated range of the 2026 Radeon. The bike gets a new design, new underpinnings and additional features. Its starting ex-showroom Delhi price is Rs 67,100, and the Radeon comes in 3 variants.

Meanwhile, the top TFT DD and SXC DD variants of the TVS Raider 125 get updates such as traction control, a 27W USB-C fast charger and a wider rear tyre. Notably, the price has not been raised despite these changes. Overall, this week saw fresh activity across several segments, from sports bikes to electric scooters.
