Jawa Yezdi Motorcycles, manufactured by Classic Legends, has introduced its 2026 product line-up ahead of the festive season in India – comprising three models: the Yellow Falcon Adventure, Green Mamba Roadster and Grey Panther Scrambler.

The company initiated the national market rollout from Kerala, coinciding with the Onam festival period, alongside the establishment of 20 customer touchpoints across the state.

The Yellow Falcon Adventure introduces cross-spoke wheels compatible with tubeless tyres, an addition requested by owners. The variant features a yellow and grey scheme with decals, paired with the 334-cc liquid-cooled Alpha2 engine producing 29.6 PS power and 29.9 Nm torque. Standard features include traction control and three ABS operating modes for road, rain and off-road conditions. The tubeless cross-spoke wheel option will be available across the wider Yezdi Adventure line-up. Prices start at INR 212,969 ex-showroom New Delhi for the base Yellow Falcon, rising to INR 232,969 for the tubeless wheel variant.

The Green Mamba Roadster incorporates a matte green paint finish, a brown seat and copper decals. It uses the 334-cc liquid-cooled Alpha2 engine linked to a six-speed transmission with an assist-and-slipper clutch. The variant is priced at INR 205,969 ex-showroom New Delhi.

The Grey Panther Scrambler features a metallic grey finish, ribbed brown seat, and matching tank pads. It is powered by the 334-cc liquid-cooled KATAR engine, delivering 30 PS power, 30 Nm torque, and a rated fuel efficiency of 30 km per litre. The model is priced at INR 205,969 ex-showroom New Delhi.

Boman Rustom Irani, Co-Founder, Classic Legends, said, "Yezdi has always been a brand built as much by its riders as by us. Riders have passed Yezdis down generations, restored them, and built communities around them. The 2026 line-up brings that spirit to life with three purpose-built motorcycles."

Anupam Thareja, Co-Founder, Classic Legends, said, "As Onam marks the start of India's festive season, there could be no better place or time to reaffirm our commitment to Kerala and its riders. Kerala has always been close to my heart as a rider, and it has made Yezdi its own from its past glory to the new launch. We are proud to unveil the 2026 range for India, from Kerala, as we continue bringing the brand closer to riders across the country. I am sure we will be the number one motorcycle brand in our segment in this riding paradise. As a two-wheeler brand, probably we are the first ones to do a national launch in Kerala."

The company has opened bookings across India for the 2026 product range. The network addition in Kerala forms part of a broader expansion plan targeting 500 touchpoints nationwide within the current financial year and 700 touchpoints by FY28. All models remain covered by the company's standard warranty program, which provides four-year or 50,000-kilometre coverage extendable to six years, alongside roadside assistance and maintenance contract options.

Pune-headquartered two-wheeler and three-wheeler major Bajaj Auto has introduced the new Pulsar 150 and Pulsar 125 models with mechanical and technological updates to its most popular range.

The new Pulsar 150 carries an introductory price of INR 115,233 ex-showroom Delhi, while the Pulsar 125 is priced at INR 92,900.

First launched in 2001, the Pulsar line has recorded sales exceeding 20 million units across 40 countries over 25 years. The updated models retain the original chassis profile and fuel tank design while incorporating engineering changes to the engine, transmission, frame and suspension systems.

The new Pulsar 150 features a 149.5cc engine, which churns out 14 PS at 8,500 rpm and 13.7 Nm of torque at 6,500 rpm. The Pulsar 125 contains a 124.58cc engine delivering 12 PS at 8,000 rpm and 11 Nm of torque at 6,000 rpm. Both models feature revised gear ratios to improve acceleration, a diamond-type frame using the engine as a structural member and a nitrogen-charged emulsion monoshock unit.

Additional updates include a 5-inch TFT display with navigation mirroring, digital document storage, call alerts and music management functions. The new Pulsar introduce three riding modes (Road, Rain and Sport), low-speed traffic assist technology, LED headlamps and an Integrated Starter Generator with start-stop functionality on top variants to reduce fuel consumption.

Sarang Kanade, Chief Business Officer – Two-wheeler Business Unit, Bajaj Auto, said, “For over 25 years, Pulsar has been more than just a motorcycle. It has been the first taste of performance for generations of riders – the muscular tank, the unmistakable grunt, the rush of acceleration and the attitude that made it impossible to ignore. Pulsar has always been ‘Definitely Daring’, and that spirit remains at the heart of the brand. With the new Pulsar 150 and Pulsar 125, we have retained everything that makes Pulsar iconic while reimagining what lies beneath it. The result is a new generation of Pulsars that feels familiar in all the right ways, but is built for the riders of today.”

TVS Motor Co-owned British marquee brand Norton Motorcycles has received a Bronze award at the International Design Excellence Awards for its Manx R superbike in the Automotive and Transportation category.

Organised by the Industrial Designers Society of America, the annual awards ceremony took place in Pasadena, California, where Darren McNeill, Head of Marketing at Norton US, collected the honour. Interestingly, Manx R becomes the first production sports motorcycle with an internal combustion engine (ICE) to receive an IDEA award.

Simon Skinner, Head of Design, Norton Motorcycles, said, “The Manx R was created to challenge what a modern superbike can look and feel like. We wanted to move away from visual noise and create something more reductive, more crafted and more connected to the rider. Every surface, exposed component and detail had to earn its place. Winning an IDEA award is a proud moment for the whole Norton team because it recognises the depth of design thinking behind the bike, not just the finished object.”

The Manx R was developed as the primary model under Norton's Resurgence strategy following its acquisition by TVS Motor Company. Chief Creative Advisor Professor Gerry McGovern OBE shaped the design direction, while Simon Skinner led the engineering and styling teams at Norton’s headquarters in Solihull, UK.

Gerry McGovern said, “From the beginning, the ambition for Norton’s Resurgence was to create a design direction that was modern, emotionally engaging and worthy of the brand’s extraordinary heritage. The Manx R proves that motorcycles, like cars, can be objects of desire through proportion, stance, drama and detail. To see that recognised by an international jury of designers is a meaningful endorsement of the direction Norton has taken.”

The motorcycle features a V4 engine, semi-active suspension, Brembo brakes, rider assistance systems and an eight-inch TFT display. The Manx R superbike and the Atlas adventure motorcycle will go on sale in the United States starting in October 2026.
