Bikes Launching in India This October 2026: BMW, Triumph, Ducati and More
Premium Launches Lead the Month
BMW Motorrad is preparing to launch the F 450 R, a new 450cc roadster expected to share its platform with the F 450 GS and use the brand’s 420cc parallel-twin engine with modern electronics.
Classic and Performance Options
The Triumph Bonneville 350, expected to arrive via Triumph’s partnership with Bajaj Auto, will sit in the brand’s lower-capacity modern-classic range. Ducati, meanwhile, is set to introduce the performance-focused Hypermotard V2, built around an 890cc engine internationally.
Mass-Market Updates Too
October’s launch calendar also includes updated mass-market models such as the Bajaj Pulsar NS200 and N250, the Hero Karizma XMR 250, and the Honda Rebel 500, including an e-Clutch variant.
What Buyers Should Do
With the festive season underway, buyers are advised to compare on-road prices at their nearest dealership, as these vary by state due to differing road tax and registration charges.
