Hero Honda to restyle CBZ Ambition

AFTER the runaway success of the two reworked variants of the Splendor and the Passion, Hero Honda's premium commuter (100cc) segment motorbikes, the company has sent two of its executive segment bikes - the Ambition and the CBZ - to the design board for refreshing their styling and finish.

Industry sources said that Hero Honda is now looking to replicate the success that the restyling brought to its commuter segment bikes. While the Ambition is being redesigned due to its inherent lack of new age styling, the CBZ is being overhauled for enabling it to tackle competition from the newer bikes in the power segment such as the Bajaj Pulsar DTSi and the TVS Fiero.

Sources said that Hero Honda is not just planning to restyle the CBZ, but is also looking at tweaking the bike's 156cc engine. The company may be considering replacing the engine or just stop with a further infusion of technology to boost its performance. The main restyling effort will be focused on the CBZ's headlamp, tail-lamp, fairing and overall fit and finish quality levels.

However, company officials, while confirming that the Ambition is being restyled, denied that there are any plans currently for a revamp of the CBZ. Speaking to Business Line, Mr Atul Sobti, Senior Vice-President, Hero Honda Motors, said that there are no plans currently to overhaul the CBZ, but the new Ambition is scheduled to hit the roads by the end of the current fiscal. Hero Honda will continue to leverage the strength of the Ambition brand in the new variant also, just as it did with the Splendor + and the Passion Plus.

The need to introduce new restyled variants of the Ambition and the CBZ would become imperative for Hero Honda as the company's sales in this segment has started dipping. Hero Honda's sales in November 2003 in the `125cc and above but less than 250cc' category was just 4,658 bikes compared to 11,281 bikes in November 2002. Again of the bikes sold in November this year, a large portion would have been sales of the Karizma, the 223cc bike introduced earlier this year.

On the contrary, Bajaj Auto's sales in this segment has grown more than 33 per cent year-on-year during November 2003 and TVS Motor's sales during the same period has doubled.

Hero Honda Splendor - a brief history

More than a decade ago when Hero Honda launched splendor, it looked a little out of place. Its sleek curves, a visor above the headlights and rounded looks were very different from the boxy shaped motor cycles that were common in those days.

It was not exactly a success when it came out and people were weary to buy a bike that looked out of place. Pricing mattered much more than it did today and few people were willing to shell out a few extra thousands. But as the years passed, more and more people started liking and buying the splendor. Its excellent road handling, decent fuel economy, sleek looks, smooth engines and riding comfort had things going for it. Soon splendor was the world’s largest selling motor cycle brand.

Over the years, Bajaj and TVS woke up to the need of improving their fleet of bikes and many new bikes hit the roads. In the last few years, so many two wheelers, all looking similar and with similar features hit the road that bikes were transformed from brands to commodity. For some time, splendor stayed on because even when it did not have anything special going with it, at least you could find no fault with it. But an upgrade was definitely necessary, and as it usually happens in India, a new version - Splendor Plus was born with only cosmetic changes. It was hardly any different from the earlier Splendor.

But the market was moving from 100cc vehicles to 125cc, and if the 100cc engine remained on the Splendor, it would have lost its position and slipped to the category of budget bikes. So next came the Super Splendor, this time with a 125cc engine delivering 9bhp. Both splendors co-existed in the market.

Now Hero Honda has been constantly upgrading the Splendor to ensure that it doesn’t get buried in the flood of new bikes that keep hitting the market. Besides, it has also used the well known Splendor brand by re-using the brand name as much as possible even when the new version may not have much to go with the old Splendor. The latest offering from Hero Honda is Splenor NXG, which is a 100cc, 7.7bhp bike and hardly looks anything like earlier generation of Splendor. The new Splendor, along with the existing models might help Splendor remain the most selling two wheeler brand ever.

New Hero Honda CBZ Xtreme Pictures

Hero Honda has launched the new variants of the CBZ Xtreme recently and new variants of other 3 bikes - Passion Plus, Pleasure, and Splendor NXG. The new CBZ comes with recoloured body and new graphics. But the main change in the bike is the inclusion of the ATFT technology which is found in the HH Hunk.

The new CBZ Xtreme spotted here gets very nice side panels with a touch of red and silver. The taillights gets a nice red colour surrounding and has an ‘X’ mark over there(as seen from the pictures) and silver split grab bars. The rear view mirrors also get the dual colour stylings.

The front now looks better with chrome coatings and clear headlights. However, the new attractive look is a bit dissapointed by the “red” alloy wheel for the rear and the black one in front.

Triumph Rocket III Has Even More Power

Speaking as a biker, I am constantly amazed by how many people are unaware that Triumph has some stellar bikes out

these days.

Case in point: the Triumph Rocket III. For the 2010 model, the bike will sport 165 lb of torque in a 2.3 liter inline triple engine which will provide about a 15% improvement over this year’s model.

Further, with 146 horsepower at 5,750 rpm and weighing in at a solid 807 pounds, you’ve got yourself a serious machine between your legs.

Triumph has also updated the brake components, updated Brembo brakes, and suspension. Further, there are 43mm upside down forks join the twin Kayaba shocks to keep the beast under control.

Now that you know some of the perks about the internal, we hit the external. It comes in black. You are allowed the choice of glossy or matte.

BMW to Launch Motorrad Range of High Performance Motorcycles in India

If you are not satisfied with Hayabusa, Fireblade or Yamaha R1, then you should look forward to the BMW motorcycles which would enter into the Indian market in the near future. Almost 13 years after its abortive attempt to enter the Indian market through a joint venture with the Hero Group, German luxury carmaker BMW is planning another foray into the country’s minuscule high-end motorcycle market.

The company is studying India’s high-end and premium motorcycle market to introduce its Motorrad range of super bikes in India, said a top BMW India official. “Our people from BMW Motorcycle are having a look at the market. They are also in discussion with us for feedback on the matter.

As soon as we see potential for a viable market entry for sustainable growth, we would take that into consideration,” said Peter Kronschnabl, president, BMW India. The bikes of the Motorrad range will cost more than Rs.10 lakh in India, said another BMW India official.
