Much-Awaited BMW F 450 GS To Officially Launch In India On April 23

GaadiWaadi -

BMW F 450 GS pushes out 48 hp and 43 Nm from a 420 cc parallel-twin engine and is expected to make a big impact if aggressively priced

BMW Motorrad is getting ready to introduce a new middleweight capacity adventure motorcycle in India with the F 450 GS scheduled to arrive on April 23. Positioned as a more accessible GS, the motorcycle is built around a new tubular steel frame and tips the scales at around 178 kg – making it significantly easier to handle than its bigger siblings.

Suspension duties are taken care of by KYB components with upside-down forks at the front and a rear monoshock setup. Depending on the variant, riders will get adjustability as well. The electronics package is one of the more loaded aspects of the motorcycle. It includes traction control, lean-sensitive ABS, Dynamic Brake Control and engine brake management.

Standard riding modes include Rain, Road and Enduro while Enduro Pro is offered on higher trims. In addition, Shift Assistant Pro will also be part of the package – either standard or optional based on the variant. The BMW F 450 GS will appeal to a wide band of consumers if made available in multiple variants just as the global version.

As for the design, the F 450 GS follows the typical GS design language but in a scaled-down format with a sleek appearance. It gets a tall stance, a beak-style front and a distinct X-shaped LED headlamp. The overall proportions are more compact which should make it less intimidating especially for newer adv riders.

At the centre of it all is a newly developed 420 cc parallel-twin engine. It uses a 135-degree crank setup to give it a slightly different character compared to conventional twins while a balance shaft helps keep vibrations in check. The motor produces 48 hp and 43 Nm and is linked with a six-speed gearbox. A slipper and assist clutch comes standard and there’s also an option for a semi-automatic clutch system.

Braking hardware combines a Brembo unit at the front with ByBre components at the rear and the setup is said to handle both road and off-road conditions without compromise. On the feature front, the motorcycle gets a 6.5-inch TFT screen with Bluetooth connectivity and navigation support. Additional bits include heated grips and a USB-C charging port.

The German manufacturer offers the F 450 GS in four trims in the international arena – Basic, Exclusive, Sport and GS Trophy. The higher variants bring in more off-road-focused elements such as hand guards, aluminium bash plates, specialised footpegs, upgraded suspension components and distinct colour options. With production already underway at TVS Motor Company’s Hosur facility, if priced right, it could make a big impact.

BMW Group India Hits Record Q1 Sales Of 4,567 Units, EV Share Jumps To 26%

GaadiWaadi -

BMW Group India delivered 4,567 cars in the period between January and March with a 17 per cent increase year-on-year

BMW Group India is off to a flying start to the new calendar year recording its best ever first quarter performance in Q1 2026. The German auto conglomerate delivered 4,567 cars in the period between January and March with a 17 per cent increase year-on-year. It must be noted that each month in the quarter ended up being the brand’s highest ever for that period.

A big part of this growth came from its wide range of electric vehicles. BMW sold 1,185 EVs across its BMW and Mini brands in the opening quarter – up 83 per cent compared to last year. EVs now make up 26 per cent of the company’s total sales which can be further explained as roughly one in every four cars sold by the brand is electric.

In the luxury EV space, BMW continues to hold a dominant position with over 70 per cent market share. The brand’s EV strategy does not just rely on offering globally recognised products as it has been steadily building out its ecosystem with initiatives like destination charging, route-based charging support and concierge services in the domestic market.

Elsewhere, BMW’s long wheelbase models are doing good volume numbers. These versions accounted for over half of total sales in Q1 with volumes rising 23 per cent to 2,256 units.

SUVs are growing even faster as sales in this category jumped 38 per cent to 2,966 units and it contributed about 65 per cent of overall volumes mirroring the market trend where SUVs continue to pull in buyers across price segments.

Royal Enfield Flying Flea C6 – Range, Top Speed, Charging Time, Specs & More

GaadiWaadi -

Royal Enfield Flying Flea C6 uses a 3.91 kWh lithium-ion battery paired with an air-cooled setup and a magnesium alloy casing

Royal Enfield has stepped into the electric space with the Flying Flea C6 and the brand’s dedicated showroom for the EV range will be inaugurated in a couple of days alongside the price announcement. The lightweight motorcycle takes inspiration from the original Flying Flea and thus, it focusses on offering simplicity and usability.

At the heart of action in the RE Flying Flea C6 is a 3.91 kWh lithium-ion battery pack paired with an air-cooled setup and a magnesium alloy casing. The system runs at a nominal voltage of 101.9V. Power comes from a permanent magnet synchronous motor producing 15.4 kW (20.65 hp) and 60 Nm of torque – delivered through a belt drive system.

The motor is integrated with the control unit to keep things compact and clean. The zero-emission model can hit a top speed of 115 kmph and accelerates from 0 to 60 kmph in just 3.7 seconds. The claimed IDC range stands at 154 km which should be adequate for daily commuting needs. Charging is relatively quick too – a full 0 to 100 per cent charge takes about 2 hours and 16 minutes while 20 to 80 per cent can be done in 65 minutes under standard conditions.

Up front, the distinctively looking motorcycle uses a girder linkage suspension with a hydraulic twin setup coupled with a rear monoshock featuring an internal floating piston. Wheel travel stands at 100 mm at the front and 110 mm at the rear. The Flying Flea rides on 19-inch tubeless tyres at both ends ensuring a unique stance compared to typical small EVs.

Braking duties are handled by a 260 mm front disc and a 220 mm rear disc – supported by dual-channel ABS with three sensitivity levels and switchable rear ABS. It also gets lean-angle sensitive ABS and traction control which is still rare in this segment. Additional rider aids include a tip-over alert system and a location-sharing feature.

In terms of dimensions, the Royal Enfield Flying Flea C6 measures 2,089 mm in length, 831 mm in width and 1,122 mm in height. It has a seat height of 823 mm and a ground clearance of 207 mm. The kerb weight is just 124 kg – making it one of the lighter electric motorcycles around while carrying capacity is rated at 160 kg.

Other highlights are a 3.5-inch colour TFT display with touch input, a USB-C charger and even wireless phone charging. The inclusion of an electronic handlebar lock enables additional security. Since the concept was conceived, the arrival of the C6 has long been anticipated as it will give rise to more variants down the line including a scrambler.
