Rs,17.90 Lac

Triumph Tiger Explorer Mileage

The Explorer by any measure is a big and powerful adventure bike which is not for the fuel savers. It is claimed to average 17-18 km per litre which is decent for its category but not entirely attractive. This implies the 16.65 litre tank will allow the rider to safely drive up to 240 km without refilling.It saves up hugely on maintenance cost by allowing huge gaps between services, thus the running costs are balanced out for such a huge machine.

It carries a rugged, chunky and tough look which is made attractive by some subtle design touches and detailing. It is a high quality, carefully designed product purely for the love of adventure.

This bike give a perfect drive running down a heavy traffic road but its real show is on the long open roads.It pulls very strongly, even from low speeds in a high gear, although the light-action throttle requires a delicate hand in the wet. This is where the traction control comes into play, although you won't feel it on even surfaces.Traction control offers three positions,including the most intrusive (allowing essentially zero wheel spin), slightly less intrusive and an 'off' position. But the engine is the real hero. This bike make long rides easy, smooth and less tiresome. The fuel injection is controlled by a ride-by-wire throttle system using computer control to give you the torque you need in the most efficient, predictable way. The lashings of power and torque make u zoom to 140 mph in just a few seconds. The ergonomics are immediately appreciated with adjustable and comfortable seating, adjustable handle bar, side luggage rack, comprehensive on-board computer with air temperature/ice warning, fuel consumption, fuel range, a gear indicator and average speed displays all as standard.

KTM duke

KTM Duke 200                                         Rs 1.38 Lac

Editorial Review of the KTM Duke 200 bike

KTM, the Austrian manufacturer collaborating with Bajaj, have given something very special in the form of Duke 200 to those who crave for a performance and to those who still did not get any motorcycle better than the RD 350 of the 80’s. In January 2012 the company made the entry with their 200cc Duke which is going on impressing the Indian enthusiasts day by day.KTM surely has made the machine in a way that no heads go unturned in any neighborhood when the machine passes through it. The machine has no traces of being a gentleman and with the way it behaves on the road, the KTM 390 Duke’s performance compliments its looks completely. The motorcycle has some serious aggressive lines on almost all the components of it, making it an extremely razor-sharp design.

The moniker of a maniac that the Duke 200 earned is more because of the power plant it carries rather than the looks. The brilliantly engineered 199.8 cc water-cooled engine with only one pot habitually acts as a barbarian but it is so well balanced that seldom will it happen that it will make you panic and lets the rider to enjoy the bursts of adrenalin. The engine develops a maximum power of 25 Bhp that passes through the 6-speed manual transmission and X-ring chain to the rear sprocket. The gears are very tall and well distributed, which proves to be an amazing ride for the newbies without taking out that fun factor.The primary gear ratio of 30:80 provides that rapid initial acceleration and makes the KTM Duke 200 a weapon to win those traffic light race instincts. The KTM Duke 200 feels relaxed even during high speed cruising. The Duke 200 does not take much effort to cross the speed limits and with a time of less than 6 seconds on the stopwatch, the 390 Duke has an acceleration rate of a supercar. The dry weight measuring 138 kilos put the KTM Duke 200 in a world of its own.

Thanks to the well-balanced body built around tubular space frame, riding the 390 Duke will always put you in authoritative position and once you get the hold of handling and the brilliantly short turning radius, the rider will never run out of confidence. The sticky rubber from Metzeller makes sure the bike never loses contact with the tarmac. Corner friendly would be the word to describe the KTM Duke 200, the machine loves to tilt on the corners, sticking a knee-out, and you will know the secret recipe of the knee scratching MotoGP riders and that too without losing any confidence. In traffic, taking tight turns to get ahead of the traffic feels like a breeze, the short wheelbase give the feeling of being compact and take the short passages without any fear.

KTM provides advanced equipment list with the Duke 200, the huge Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) with orange backlit supplies the rider with vital information. Apart from displaying speed, time and distance, the rider can also see information like fuel consumed every 100km, instantaneous average, average speed, engine temperature, fuel consumption and various other indicators showing errors that the bike may be going through. The wide handlebars have switches from Bajaj models but the built quality is solid. The stopping prowess of the Duke 200 comes from the 300mm front disc brake with four-pot brake calliper and 230mm rear disc brake with one pot braking calliper. The suspensions, which are performance tuned, are hard and become very uncomfortable when the ride hits the bumps. The Upside down front shocks and the rear mono-shocks makes the ride very balanced.

Overall, the KTM Duke 200 has redefined the Indian sportsbiking in all an new mettle. The Motorcycle comes with the never-seen-before aggressive design, cutting-edge engine, loads of equipment on offer and the exclusivity, which no other bike in this price bracket manages to match. Added to it, the association with Bajaj seals the deal for its long term reliability. That said, one of the most revolutionary bikes Indian soil has ever witnessed.
