New bikes, scooters launching this August

The Bajaj Freedom 125 stole the show last month and piqued everyone’s interest. August, too, will see some highly anticipated launches, including the return of a beloved classic brand. Here’s everything you need to know about bikes set to launch this month.  

Royal Enfield Classic 350

Royal Enfield’s Classic 350 is due for an update and is expected to launch with new features. We reported earlier this month that Royal Enfield was gearing up to update its beloved motorcycle and introduce mild revisions to the variants. It is expected to get features such as complete LED lighting (headlight, tail lamp, indicators, and pilot lights), adjustable levers, gear position indicator, a USB-C charger, and alloy wheels with tubeless tyres. These features will be divided amongst variants and only the highest variant will get all of these features. Apart from these new features, the Classic 350 is expected to remain mechanically unchanged. The Classic 350 is expected to launch on August 12.

BSA Gold Star

BSA is set to make a comeback and their first launch is expected to be their 652cc single-cylinder motorcycle called the Gold Star. Its motor produces 45hp at 6,500rpm and 55Nm at 4,000rpm while mated to a five-speed gearbox. The Gold Star is expected to launch on August 15 and will directly compete with the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650.

Ola electric bike

Ola has recently released a teaser video of their founder riding a two-wheeler. Yet another teaser image was released showcasing the battery and frame of the upcoming product from the electric manufacturer. Ola is known for launching new products on Independence Day, and we suspect another launch is in the pipeline for this day. However, it remains to be seen if this will be Ola’s first bike launch or yet another scooter to join their lineup. Ola has announced August 15 as the date that they plan on showcasing their product.

TVS has been working hard and we’ve been speculating what their next launch will look like. It is known to be working ona CNG-powered Jupiterand anupdated NTorq. We don’t know the exact details yet, but TVS has reached out to us with an invite for August 20. It remains to be seen which of these products the company could launch on the mentioned date.
