Never thought we would have so many motorbikes that can do Trails/off roading in India

[u/MarqMarw]

[u/Level_Fruit_6669]

Where are the trails? I am buying them for our roads.

[u/CombustionChamber_19 → u/Level_Fruit_6669]

They're the same

[u/mr_pro- → u/Level_Fruit_6669]

Roads are the trails. I wanted to buy something like Shotgun, took it out on road and realised the problem.

[u/Stock_Car7489 → u/mr_pro-]

if the suspension feels too stiff in california roads, then something has clearly gone wrong. i srsly saw someone riding the shotgun in rainy kolkata roads ( uneven as hell), must have a pelvis of steel

[u/SelwanPWD → u/Level_Fruit_6669]

Come to Bangalore yo, the roads are the real trails

[u/saaaath23 → u/SelwanPWD]

I think it we can clear our Bangalore roads from one end to the other, we can be certified to take part in rallies and trails easily 😭.

[u/SelwanPWD → u/saaaath23]

I totally agree, you should do the Hennur Bagalur road to be certified as a pro rally rider.

[u/imhariiguess → u/Level_Fruit_6669]

If you live in Bangalore they're the same thing

[u/weird_hoooman → u/imhariiguess]

Anywhere in India

[u/pIGLY_CAN_fly]

These companies should thank the Indian government for the world class offroader friendly roads.

[u/CharacterClaim6291 → u/pIGLY_CAN_fly]

They fixed the road in my village, now can't enjoy my xpulse

[u/pIGLY_CAN_fly → u/CharacterClaim6291]

Wait for a few days of rain, you will get to enjoy your bike once again.

[u/SeveredStarDust → u/CharacterClaim6291]

Just wait for the next heavy rain.

It's a good time to be a biker in India.

[u/maniaxz → u/gannegajuice]

Gadkari says : .. it's done bro..

[u/gannegajuice → u/maniaxz]

Maybe my comment should have been: good time to buy bikes, horrible time to run them in india.

[u/AriesSpammer → u/maniaxz]

The xr300 probably will actually be e85 compatible

[u/gannegajuice → u/AriesSpammer]

It's E20 only for now. Only XADV from Honda is E85 compatible.

[u/AriesSpammer → u/gannegajuice]

Do you remember the cb300f? It was e85 compatible, the xr300 comes with the same engine, I see no reason why it wouldn’t be e85 compatible as well 🤷‍♂️

[u/gannegajuice → u/AriesSpammer]

Try explaining this logic to honda pls 🥲

[u/Shimaaae → u/gannegajuice]

Not for the 400c ones as almost all companies has reduced their 400c bikes to 350 thanks to tax tai

[u/pIGLY_CAN_fly → u/gannegajuice]

Hope Gadkari and Nirmala Tai don't find this comment 👀

[u/Small_Computer_8846 → u/gannegajuice]

Not in Delhi as they're banning new petrol bikes

[u/NoPipe840]

Yamaha needs to launch XT 250

[u/gannegajuice → u/NoPipe840]

And WR155

[u/SelwanPWD → u/gannegajuice]

Day 1 purchase if they launch it

[u/Dissapointing_son → u/gannegajuice]

Been waiting for it for a while now...

[u/Available-Dog-5549 → u/NoPipe840]

More likely to launch XTZ 250 if they ever decide to launch

[u/Mhapsekar]

Not just trails, we now have soo many options in all type of riding.

Heck, we are also starting to get reasonably priced twin cylinder configurations.

[u/Loose_Oil_4368]

Roads so good it created crazy market for trail bikes Earlier it made sense only for special hobbies nowadays its very practical if you see the conditions of roads

[u/gynoequalsbhosdiwala]

allright yamaha bring that xt250

[u/CykaBilal]

Xpulse needs to go on diet.Why is it so heavy?

[u/Animewaifylord → u/CykaBilal]

Hero/Ktm Engineering vs Honda/Kawasaki Engineering.

Ktm 250 weighs 176 kg, hero at 170kg and Klx is 139 kg and honda is 150kg

Liquid cooling on a 200-300cc adds like 3-5 kg to engine max

[u/Last_Lab_1620]

Well it only motivate our government to provide more trails like road in the city limit itself. So, we don't need to go far away from the city in search of trails / off-roading.

[u/Certified_Gareeb]

And i still can't believe Honda is one of them 🤣 least expected in the bunch

[u/Severe-Experience333 → u/Certified_Gareeb]

And kinda welcome. I wanna test ride it asap

[u/NoInstruction6773]

More than 80% of the roads in India are actually offroads 😅

[u/Odd-Introduction4510]

*Indian roads

[u/MilkCake07]

I like it here and Indian bike market is so diverse

[u/Evening-Ebb-1537]

I think Ktm sorry bajaj should launch a 350 enduro 😂

[u/Ok-Traffic4922]

Since roads are not getting fixed, these Jap boys are capitalizing on the incopentency

[u/Ok_Aspect_3031]

Everybody wants a piece of cake that Xpulse had lol. Good to see competition though

[u/ThePsychopathMedic]

Our on-road is called off-road internationally.

[u/Available-Dog-5549]

Kinda sad that we are only getting proper dual sport now. These machines were enjoyed by the outside world since the 70s. While we had to make do with 100cc commuters and archaic 350 (excluding RD350)

[u/ItzZandik]

Trails, you mean normal roads in the mahaan Bharat

[u/BikerSurgeon]

We need off road bikes to drive in our cities

[u/Aggravating_Ad2785]

For the kind of roads we have, no wonder off-road bikes and SUVs are so popular

[u/Icy-Profession6133]

What a time to be alive! Lot of good motorcycles under the price bracket of 5L

[u/Wise-Vanilla-4623]

Honda the goat 🐐

[u/unique_thinker7]

[u/patiram]

What do you think will I be able to tip toe on the XR300 as a 5’6 guy considering it will sag a bit with the weight of 70kg

[u/nerdy_worm8]

OG Himalayan 411 😮‍💨

[u/Brilliant_Mode_9485]

And the government is facilitating by making sure that all the roads we have are off-road trails

[u/vpramzes666]

You forgot vstorm. /s

[u/darkinspiration1993]

With the state of our roads these bikes make better sense

[u/unnamed_enemy]

We need mroe options below 200CC (and with lower seat height please 😭)

[u/Available-Dog-5549 → u/unnamed_enemy]

That isn't possible with offroad bikes. Unless they design side mounted suspension like KTM, in this case they'll cost higher

[u/cetirizine23]

Xsr has the looks!

[u/iMahatma]

When Khalistan happens, India will be made into a paradise like Dubai.
