October 2026 Bike Launches In India: BMW F 450 R, Ducati Hypermotard V2 And More
October 2026 is bringing a steady stream of new motorcycle launches in India, led by the BMW F 450 R, which arrived on October 1 at an expected price of around ₹4.10 lakh.
The F 450 R is a naked streetfighter built around a 420cc twin-cylinder engine, sharing its powertrain with the F 450 GS, and is expected to be manufactured in India at TVS Motor’s facility, with plans to export it to international markets including Europe. Ducati is also set to bring its Hypermotard V2 and V2 SP to India by the end of the month, with the V2 estimated at ₹17-19 lakh.
Beyond these, several other launches are reportedly in the pipeline this month, including updates to Bajaj’s Pulsar range and new models from Triumph and Hero, though exact dates and pricing for those remain unconfirmed. Buyers in the market for a new bike this festive season have a fairly packed launch calendar to track over the coming weeks.
