Top 10 Adventure Bikes In Nepal

The market for two-wheelers is primarily dominated by commuters and sport tourers in Nepal—since most people use their bikes to ride to and back from work. But, as we’ve been taught since the very beginning, Nepal has a lot more to offer than paved city roads, especially outside the boundaries of the capital. That is where adventure bikes come in.

 

Built for the off-road, adventure bikes throw convention out the window and give riders a machine that lets them really experience what the terrain in Nepal has to provide.

 

However, adventure bikes are still a niche segment in the Nepalese market, meaning less competition and higher prices—alternately fewer competitors means each adventure bike has its own unique selling points, making it easier for consumers to decide which one they want.

With that being said, here are…

 

The Top 10 Adventure Bikes in Nepal

 

Royal Enfield Himalayan

With a 411cc engine, the Royal Enfield Himalayan is one of the most powerful and boldest bikes on this list. Although coming from a brand known for its heavy cruises—definitely not meant for the off-road—the Himalayan is a surprisingly capable adventure motorbike. Perhaps, one of the best on this list.

Royal Enfield Himalayan

The unique selling point of the Royal Enfield Himalayan is the power and boldness of the motorbike. A rather new entrance into the adventure segment, the Himalayan has had the opportunity to learn from others and make a more competitive motorbike.

 

As for the design, the motorbike does stay true to the brand of Royal Enfield with the round headlights and round side mirrors. The exhaust on the other hand is nothing like you’ve ever seen on a Royal Enfield.

Royal Enfield Himalayan: Design and Feature Highlights

  • Adventure ready handling
  • Versatile performance
  • Tripper navigation assistant with USB support
  • Switchable ABS for the rear (ON or OFF)
  • Tour minded design
  • Wire-spoked, dual-purpose wheels
  • Ability to attach cargo.

Royal Enfield Himalayan: Brakes, Tires, and Suspension

  • Front Tyre: 90/90-21 Tube with Disc Brakes
  • Rear Tyre: 120/90-17 Tube with Disc Brakes
  • ABS Modes: Dual Channel ABS with the ability to turn the rear off.
  • Front Suspension: 41mm forks
  • Rear Suspension: Monoshock with linkage
  • Wheel Type: Spoke wheels

 

 

The Himalayan comes with ABS that can be completely turned off for riders that want to dig their wheels into the dirt. Pair that with the powerful engine and that’s a recipe for fun.

 

Royal Enfield Himalayan: Engine Specifications

With a 411cc Engine, the Royal Enfield Himalayan is one of the most powerful adventure motorbikes on this list. Add to that the dual-purpose wheels and switchable ABS, the Himalayan is an attractive choice for fun and deep pockets.


  • Engine Type: Single Cylinder, 4 stroke, SOHC
  • Displacement: 411cc
  • Cooling System: Air Cooled
  • Maximum Power: 24.31 PS at 6500 rpm
  • Maximum Torque: 32 Nm at 4500 rpm
  • Gearbox: 5-speed constant mesh
  • Emission Standard: BS6
  • Fuel Supply: Fuel Injection
  • Fuel Capacity: 15L
  • Mileage: 32.04 kmpl in the city

 

 

Royal Enfield Himalayan: Price

 

The Royal Enfield Himalayan Costs Rs. 898,000 In Nepal.

 

For someone looking for not just any adventure motorbike, but a capable motorbike with a brand image attached to it, the Royal Enfield Himalayan is definitely the right choice. However, the motorbike does come with a high price tag in an already expensive market segment.

 

 

Hero Xpulse 200 4V

The Xpulse 200 4V, without a shadow of a doubt, is the best bang-for-the-buck adventure bike on this list. At just Rs. 452,500, the Xpulse is the cheapest motorbike on this list, while still providing a bunch of new and unique features that differentiate it from the competition.

Hero X Pulse 200 4V

The motorbike comes with a 199.6cc oil-cooled engine, with a full LCD instrument panel that connects with your phone to enable turn-by-turn navigation. Even the more expensive motorbikes on this list don’t come with features like that. Even the overall design of the motorbike is more attractive in comparison to the competition.

 

If all that doesn’t convince you, then you should watch the video on Paradygm TV where moto vloggers SMZ and Ride With Sagar tell you the same thing.

 

Hero Xpulse 200 4V: Design and Feature Highlights

  • LCD display with Bluetooth and navigation
  • Dual purpose tyres
  • LED Headlamp
  • New 4V Engine
  • Sales reliability from Hero

 

The Hero XPulse 200 4V comes with an all-digital instrument cluster with navigation—features that are missing in even adventure motorbikes that cost double the amount. While each motorbike on this has its own capabilities on dirt, having turn-by-turn navigation makes city rides, and rides to the track easier.

 

Hero Xpulse 200 4V: Brakes, Tires, and Suspension

  • Front Tyre: 90/90-21 with Disc Brake
  • Rear Tyre: 120/80-18 with Disc Brake
  • ABS Modes: Dual Channel ABS with 3 switchable modes.
  • Front Suspension: 37mm telescopic forks
  • Rear Suspension: 10-step adjustable mono-shock
  • Wheel Type: Spoke wheels

 

Adding to the turn-by-turn navigation, the 3-mode switchable abs make the Hero Xpulse 200 4V not only fit for the dirt but for city roads as well. Riders can enjoy just as much convenience on and off the road.

 

Hero Xpulse 200 4V: Engine Specifications

  • Engine Type: Single Cylinder, 4 stroke, 4 valve
  • Displacement: 199.6cc
  • Cooling System: Oil Cooled
  • Maximum Power: 19.17 PS at 6500 rpm
  • Maximum Torque: 17.35 Nm at 4500 rpm
  • Gearbox: 5-speed constant mesh
  • Emission Standard: BS6
  • Fuel Supply: Fuel Injection
  • Fuel Capacity: 13L
  • Mileage: 51.59 kmpl in the city

 

The Hero XPulse 200 4V: Price

 

The Hero XPulse 200 4V costs Rs. 452,500 in Nepal.

 

The Hero Xpulse 200 4V is the perfect choice for someone wanting to enter adventure riding on a budget. The features it comes with even rival bikes that cost double the amount; and at its price level, competitors do not stand a chance.

KTM 390 Adventure

Coming from Austria, the lineup of the Adventure series of bikes from KTM is the brand’s venture into the off-road adventure segment of the market. With the first Adventure series bike, the KTM 620 Adventure, having come to the roads way back in 1997, the current portfolio of KTM adventure bikes has a long lineage behind them.

KTM Duke 390 Adventure

The decades of iterations have accumulated to the creation of the KTM 390 Adventure—one of two KTM Adventure bikes for sale in Nepal. Housing a 373cc engine, the KTM 390 Adventure is one of the most powerful adventure bikes on this list; right in line with the Royal Enfield Himalayan and the BMW G 310 GS.

 

The unique selling point of the KTM 390 Adventure is the brand identity of KTM—always ready to race, with a portfolio of numerous successful adventure and enduro bikes. If there’s one thing you can be sure of with the KTM Adventure 390, it’s that KTM knows how to make a good bike, and the Adventure 390 is just more evidence of their acumen.

 

KTM 390 Adventure: Design and Feature Highlights

  • The only KTM bike available in Nepal with traction control
  • Full digital TFT Dash
  • Switchable ABS: Cornering / Off Road
  • Metzeler Tyres

 

If you’re on the lookout for the best that KTM has to offer, then the 390 Adventure is where it is at. The motorbike comes with high-end features missing in most other bikes on this list, as well as in their own lineup—making it a compelling choice.

KTM 390 Adventure: Brakes, Tires, and Suspension

  • Front Tyre: Tubeless 100/90-R19 with Disc Brake
  • Rear Tyre: Tubeless 130/80-R17 with Disc Brake
  • ABS Modes: Dual Channel ABS with 2 switchable modes.
  • Front Suspension: WP Apex USD Forks
  • Rear Suspension: WP Apex Rear shock suspension
  • Wheel Type: Spoke wheels

 

KTM 390 Adventure: Engine Specifications

  • Engine Type: 4 Stroke, 4 Valve, DOHC
  • Displacement: 373 cc
  • Cooling System: Liquid Cooled
  • Max Power: 44 PS at 9000 rpm Max
  • Max Torque: 37 Nm at 7500 rpm
  • Emission Standard: BS6
  • Gearbox: 6-Speed (with anti-hopping clutch)
  • Fuel Supply: Fuel Injection
  • Fuel Capacity: 13L
  • Mileage: 51.59 kmpl in the city

 

 

The KTM 390 Adventure: Price

 

The KTM 390 Adventure costs Rs. 1,089,000 in Nepal.

 

While the KTM 390 Adventure does come with a lineage of tried and tested adventure and enduro motorbikes, as well as a bunch of unique features, being priced at just over 10 lakh rupees makes it a tough sell to anyone who’s not committed to the brand itself. Hero provides similar features at a much lower price, and brands like Yamaha and Honda have the equivalent lineage.

 

 

Honda XR 190L

A Cousin to the oh so popular Honda Africa Twin, the XR 190L is what Honda has to offer to customers in the adventure segment in Nepal. With an engine that sports “184cc of power and balanced torque”, the Honda XR 190L might be the motorbike of choice for someone looking for fun and reliability—and if it does break, it’s Honda. Your mom probably has spare parts for it under her bed.

Honda XR 190 L

But just as with many other bikes on this list, the Honda XR 190L also comes with a price tag higher than it might truly be worth—as described at the beginning of this blog, for as long as the adventure segment is a niche with few competitors, the prices will always be high.

 

But if you’re going to get an adventure motorbike anyways and run it through the dirt—really putting it through its paces in who knows where—you might as well get it from a manufacturer with one of the largest service and parts networks in the world.

 

Honda XR 190L: Design and Feature Highlights

  • PGM FI Power
  • Four-stroke engine easier riding off-road
  • Transistorized ignition system
  • The rear carrier comes standard
  • Crossbar design handlebars
  • Front disc brakes

 

The four-stroke engine puts out power to the wheel at every other revolution of the pistons, giving riders enough grip between the wheel and the dirt, as well as good power delivery. Adding the drum brakes in the rear, the XR 190L is built for fun off-road.

Honda XR 190L: Brakes, Tires, and Suspension

  • Front Tyre: 90/90 with Hydraulic Disc brakes using Dual Piston Callipers
  • Rear Tyre: 110/90 with Leading/Trailing Drum brakes
  • ABS Modes: None
  • Front Suspension: Telescopic Fork, with 161 mm Axle Travel
  • Rear Suspension: Mono Shock Swing Arm with 151 mm Axle Travel
  • Wheel Type: Spoke wheels

 

Honda XR 190L: Engine Specifications

  • Engine Type: Air Cooled, Single Cylinder, SOHC
  • Displacement: 184.4cc
  • Cooling System: Air Cooled
  • Max Power: 15.6 PS at 8500 rpm
  • Max Torque: 15.7 Nm at 6000 rpm
  • Emission Standard: BS4
  • Gearbox: 5-Speed
  • Fuel Supply: Fuel Injection
  • Fuel Capacity: 12L
  • Mileage: 30-35 kmpl in the city

 

The Honda XR 190L: Price

 

The Honda XR 190L costs Rs. Rs. 739,900 in Nepal.

 

The Honda XR 190L is a good choice if you’re looking for an adventure motorbike that is reliable and performs well. As always, Honda’s unique selling point is its reliability, and when something does go wrong, the ease with which you can fix it. If you are paying almost seven and a half lakhs for a 184 cc bike, might as well make sure you won’t have to spend much more on repair.



BMW G 310 GS

BMW is in no way a brand that comes to mind when you think of adventure and offroading. A German brand is known for luxury riding making a bike for the messy dirt trails. As unimaginable as it seems, BMW does have its lineup of adventure bikes—one of the largest, and they're some of the best out there.

BMW G 310 GS

Ranging from the “entry-level” G 310 GS to the wicked powerful R 1250 GS Adventure, BMW currently has 8 adventure bikes to choose from—only two of which; the G 310 GS and G 310; are available in Nepal. But even the entry-level bike from the BMW adventure lineup is a powerful bike, more capable than most motorbikes on this list.

 

The reasons you should buy the G 310 GS over the others on this list are that; the adventure motorbike comes with 40 years worth of heritage of BMW adventure bikes; the adventure motorbike comes with a great power-to-weight ratio and easy off-road control; and it is off-road or city streets, it looks just in place.

 

BMW G 310 GS: Design and Feature Highlights

  • Adjustable clutch and brake levers 
  • Attractive BMW design with GS fly line
  • Gold anodized forks
  • LED headlights
  • Built-in luggage carrier

 

The highlight of the body of the BMW G 310 GS is the design; the BMW design is one of a kind, only enhanced by the gold anodized forks. The adventure motorbike also comes with creature comforts like LED adjustable levers, and built-in luggage carriers.

 

BMW G 310 GS: Brakes, Tires, and Suspension

  • Front Tyre: Tubeless 110/80-R19 with Disc Brake
  • Rear Tyre: Tubeless 150/70-R17 with Disc Brake
  • ABS Modes: Dual Channel ABS.
  • Front Suspension: Gold Anodised Upside Down Forks
  • Rear Suspension: Dual swing arm monoshock
  • Wheel Type: 5 spoke alloy rims

 

BMW G 310 GS: Engine Specifications

  • Engine Type: Liquid Cooled, 4 Stroke, 4 Valve, DOHC
  • Displacement: 313 cc
  • Cooling System: Liquid Cooled
  • Max Power: 34 PS at 9500 rpm Max
  • Max Torque: 28 Nm at 7500 rpm
  • Emission Standard: BS6
  • Gearbox: 6-Speed
  • Fuel Supply: Fuel Injection
  • Fuel Capacity: 11L
  • Mileage: 29.26 kmpl in the city

 

The BMW G 310 GS: Price

 

The BMW G 310 GS costs Rs. 1,090,000 in Nepal.

 

While the BMW G 310 GS is a well-built machine, just the design and heritage of the motorbike might not be enough to convince buyers since competitors like KTM manufacture more powerful bikes that cost less—the KTM 390 Adventure. But then again, for those with deep enough pockets for a BMW, the brand value might just be worth as much as the specs.

 

Honda CRF 300 Rally

The Honda CRF 300 Rally is the second adventure motorbike from Honda on this list. Unlike the XR 190L, the CRF 300 Rally doesn’t hold back at all; from design to performance, to features, to creature comforts, the Honda comes with almost everything.

Honda CRF Rally

The most obvious difference between the lower-level Honda adventure motorbike and the CRF 300 Rally is the design. While both the XR 190L and the CRF 300 Rally share the same foundational design—both bikes having the same adventure spirit—, the CRF 300 Rally is a much more premium offering with a distinct profile that not only differentiates it from the XR 190L but also every other motorbike on this list.

 

What makes the CRF 300 Rally so attractive to customers is the lightweight chassis, long-travel suspension, and powerful engine to really put everything to the test. The 12.5-liter fuel tank also allows for more distance to be covered—especially since the 386cc engine won’t be nice to the mileage of the motorbike.

 

Honda CRF 300 Rally: Design and Feature Highlights

  • Reengineered PGM-FI Engine
  • Redesigned Steel Frame
  • Dual LED headlamp
  • Full LCD dash with gear/mileage/fuel consumption indicator.
  • Motocross-style seat with the rally bike styling
  • Skid plates and handguards come standard

 

As mentioned before, the exterior highlights of the CRF 300 Rally are the new design that differentiates it from the XR 190L—the other Honda adventure motorbike on this list—and even CRF 300L. Additionally, the CRF 300 Rally also comes with skid plates and handguards right from the showrooms, which is missing in other motorbikes from Honda, and even some of the other motorbikes on this list.

 

Honda CRF 300 Rally: Brakes, Tires, and Suspension

  • Front Tyre: 80/100-21M/C 51P
  • Rear Tyre: 120/80-18M/C 62P
  • ABS Modes: Dual Channel ABS.
  • Front Suspension: 43mm Telescopic USD forks
  • Rear Suspension: Pro-Link single shock with spring  
  • Wheel Type: Aluminium spoke

 

Being the more premium offering from Honda, the CRF 300 Rally comes with better features. The dual-channel ABS and pro-link single-shock rear suspension with springs are both missing in the XR 190L, and both tyres are better spec-ed in the Rally—heck, the XR doesn’t have ABS at all.

 

But given the massive difference in price, the upgrades should be expected.

 

Honda CRF 300 Rally: Engine Specifications

  • Engine Type: Single-Cylinder, 4-valve, 4-stroke, DOHC, PGM-FI
  • Displacement: 286 cc
  • Cooling System: Liquid Cooled
  • Max Power: 27 PS at 8500 rpm
  • Max Torque: 26.6 Nm at 6500 rpm
  • Emission Standard: BS6
  • Gearbox: 6-Speed
  • Fuel Supply: PGM-FI electronic fuel injection
  • Fuel Capacity: 12.8L
  • Mileage: 30-35 kmpl in the city

 

The CRF 300 Rally: Price

 

The CRF 300 Rally costs Rs.1,950,000 in Nepal.

 

The Honda CRF Rally costs a whopping Rs.1,950,000 in Nepal, making it one of the most expensive bikes on this list along with its BMW and KTM counterparts. Where BMW promises German quality machinery and the KTM promises race-ready fun, the Honda CRF 300 Rally promises quality, reliability, and a brand image that everyone loves.

 

Crossfire RM 250

From their official website to their showrooms and their motorbikes, Crossfire has a consistent design ideology. Crossfire is a new brand, trying to compete with the big dogs in the market. In its venture to do so, the Crossfire brand has embraced its youth and capitalised on it.

Cross Fire Rm 250

With just a little bit of business knowledge, you’ll know that where the barriers to entry are high, and there is little competition, turning a desirable output is difficult. Hence, Crossfire has to undercut its competition in price and produce a value proposition that consumers simply cannot ignore.

 

Fortunately, that is exactly what Crossfire has done with the RM 250.

 

Crossfire RM 250: Design and Features Highlights

  • Dual Disc Brakes
  • Statement-making dual exhaust design
  • 6.5 litres of fuel capacity
  • A 249.99 cc engine fueled with a carburetor
  • Fastace heavy-duty suspension

 

Right from the get-go, you can see the cost-cutting decisions that had to be made during the production of this bike. Where the dual disc brakes and 250cc engine pull in customers—especially at its price range—the tiny 6.5-liter fuel capacity and the use of a carburetor instead of fuel injection might push them away.

 

But at the end of the day, you can’t have your cake and eat it too. Crossfire needed to make compromises somewhere and, by their judgement, the fuel capacity and carburetor were where it made the least difference to customers—whether they made the right judgement will vary from customer to customer.

 

Crossfire RM 250: Brakes, Tires, and Suspension

  • Front Tyre: Disc 3.00-21(Dirt), 110/70-17(Motard) 
  • Rear Tyre: Disc 4.8-18(Dirt), 150/60-17(Motard)
  • ABS Modes: None
  • Front Suspension: 47mm inverted cartridge fork (Adjustable)
  • Rear Suspension: CNC Linkage Suspension (Adjustable)
  • Wheel Type: spoked wheel with rims

 

The brakes reveal another cost-cutting measure made by Crossfire. While RM 250 comes with dual disc brakes, there is no ABS present on the motorbike. The customer will have to decide if the risk of having no ABS at all is worth it.

 

Crossfire RM 250: Engine Specifications

  • Engine Type: Single-Cylinder, 4-stroke, 4-valve, SOHC with Balance Shaft
  • Displacement: 249.6 cc
  • Cooling System: Liquid Cooled
  • Max Power: 25.83 PS at 9000 rpm
  • Max Torque: 22.5 Nm at 7000 rpm
  • Emission Standard: BS4
  • Gearbox: 6-Speed
  • Fuel Supply: Carburetor
  • Fuel Capacity: 6.5L
  • Mileage: 30 kmpl in the city

 

The Crossfire RM 250: Price

 

The Crossfire RM 250 costs Rs. 8,88,000 in Nepal.

 

The Crossfire RM 250 is a good bike that returns great value for its price, when compared with the other bikes on this list—only falling behind the Hero Xpulse 200 4V. But where Hero’s pricing strategy is powered by their pre-existing portfolio of cash cow products, Crossfire’s comes from having to make compromises...

 

Add to that the fact that Hero is a brand known for reliability, and Crossfire comes from China of all places, and buyers may develop doubts about the long-term value of the motorbike.

 

Benelli TRK 251

Benelli, like other large manufacturers on this list, isn't known for making adventure motorbikes. After excelling at sportsters and commuters for a long while, Benelli entered the adventure segment as a way to reach new customers in 2017 with the TRK 502.

Benelli TRK 251

Since then, there have been a few iterations across different power segments such as the TRK 809, TRK 702, and the TRK 251. As of now, the Benelli TRK 502 and TRK 251 are available in Nepal.

 

With 6 years of adventure motorbike manufacturing under their belt, Benelli has had a decent amount of time to tune in their product portfolio. As a result, the TRK 251 is both feature-packed and legitimately affordable.

 

The Benelli TRK 251 defies the norm of overpriced and under-featured adventure bikes and provides features missing in just as expensive bikes, while also housing a more powerful engine at 249 ccs of displacement.

 

Benelli TRK 251: Design and Feature Highlights 

  • Full digital display
  • Bi-lense LED headlights
  • Inverted front forks and a centrally dampened rear swing-arm
  • Four-calliper front and rear disc brakes

 

Benelli TRK 251: Brakes, Tires, and Suspension

  • Front Tyre: 110/70-17
  • Rear Tyre: 150/60-17
  • ABS Modes: Dual Channel ABS.
  • Front Suspension: 135mm Telescopic forks
  • Rear Suspension: 60mm Telescopic coil spring oil damped
  • Wheel Type: Alloy

 

The Benelli TRK 251 comes with dual-channel ABS and an oil-damped rear suspension; features that you'd typically expect to see on a higher-end adventure bike. These features, among others, are what make the TRK 251 a more desirable option than the others on this list.

 

Benelli TRK 251: Engine Specifications

  • Engine Type: Single Cylinder, 4-Valves, 4-Stroke
  • Displacement: 249 cc
  • Cooling System: Liquid Cooled
  • Max Power: 25.8 PS at 9250 rpm
  • Max Torque: 21.1 Nm at 8000 rpm
  • Emission Standard: BS6
  • Gearbox: 6-Speed
  • Fuel Supply: Fuel injection
  • Fuel Capacity: 18L
  • Mileage: 31.81 kmpl in the city

 

The Benelli TRK 251: Price

 

The Benelli TRK 251 costs Rs. 5,20,000 in Nepal.

 

Considering the price tag, the Benelli TRK 251 comes with more features than any of the competition. As a comparison, the Yamaha XTZ 150 costs around forty thousand more while having fewer features, only single channel ABS, and most importantly, much less displacement.

 

The Benelli TRK 251 lies on a similar footing to the Hero Xpulse 200 4V and the Crossfire RM 250; while also bringing a historical brand identity to the table. As such, the Benelli TRK 251 makes a very strong case for itself to convince buyers.

 

Hartford VR 220H

Hartford is perhaps the least-known brand on this list. While the brand from Taiwan manufactures a few different motorbikes and scooters internationally, only two of their products are currently available in Nepal—the Hartford VR 150H motorcycle and the Hartford VR 220H motorcycle. 

Hardford VR 220H

The design of the Hartford motorbikes in Nepal has been rather.. outdated, to say the least. Both motorbikes feature old designs that have since been replaced with a new standard of design—that akin to the Honda XR 190L and the Yamaha XTZ 150.

 

The redeeming quality of the Hartford motorbikes is that the brand has been in operation for over 25 years, enabling the brand to figure out tried and tested formulas that produce a well-performing motorbike.

 

Hartford VR 220H: Design and Feature Highlights

  • Dual Channel ABS
  • Electric and Kick Start
  • Skid plate covering the engine
  • 223cc engine powering the motorbike

 

Hartford VR 220H: Brakes, Tires, and Suspension

  • Front Tyre: 3.00-21 with Disc Brakes
  • Rear Tyre: 120/90-18 with Disc Brakes
  • ABS Modes: Dual Channel ABS.
  • Front Suspension: Double Periscope
  • Rear Suspension: Mono Shock
  • Wheel Type: Alloy spokes

 

The key feature in the body specs of the Hartford 220H seems to be the presence of dual-channel ABS, a feature that most other manufacturers do not include in this price range. Other than that, the VR 220H is just in line with other adventure bikes.

 

Hartford VR 220H: Engine Specifications

  • Engine Type: OHC 4 stroke
  • Displacement: 223 cc
  • Cooling System: Oil-Cooled
  • Max Power: 20.8 PS at 7750 rpm
  • Max Torque: 21.06 Nm at 6250 rpm
  • Gearbox: 5-Speed
  • Fuel Supply: Carburetor
  • Fuel Capacity: 12L
  • Mileage: 30.3 kmpl 

 

The Hartford VR 220H: Price

 

The Hartford VR 220H costs Rs. 615,000 in Nepal.

 

Coming in at Rs. 615,000, the Hartford VR 220H undercuts the Honda XR 190L and the Crossfire RM 250 in price, while providing just as much, if not more, in terms of features and performance. As such, the Hartford VR 220H is the right choice for customers who just want performance at a midrange budget over everything else.

 

Yamaha XTZ 150

The Yamaha XTZ 150 is a regional adventure motorbike made for more price-sensitive markets like the Brazilian and the Indian subcontinental market—even though it manages to come in at a whopping Rs. 569,900 in Nepal.

Yamaha XTZ 150

The Yamaha XTZ 150 is the only dirt/adventure motorbike from Yamaha currently available in Nepal. In comparison to the other bikes on this list—or even other adventure bikes from Yamaha—, the XTZ 150 is much more bare-bones in terms of the mechanical foundation as well the creature comforts.

 

As such, the 149.37cc adventure motorbike comes off as a rather tough sell.

 

Yamaha XTZ 150: Design and Feature Highlights

  • Swing arm link suspension
  • Hybrid instrument cluster
  • Efficient engine
  • Hydraulic single-disc front disc brake
  • White light halogen headlight

 

The “redeeming” features of the Yamaha XTZ 150 come in the form of the swing arm link suspension and the hybrid instrument cluster; with an analogue tachometer and a digital speedometer. The single disc brake serves as both a cost-cutting measure and a design choice to lean the motorbike into a certain type of riding.

 

Yamaha XTZ 150: Engine Brakes, Tires, and Suspension

  • Front Tyre: Tubeless 90/90-19M/C 52P with Disc Brake
  • Rear Tyre: Tubeless 110/90 -17M/C 60P with Drum Brake
  • ABS Modes: Single Channel ABS.
  • Front Suspension: Telescopic Forks
  • Rear Suspension: Suspension link swingarm
  • Wheel Type: spoke rims

 

Yamaha XTZ 150: Engine Specifications

  • Engine Type: SOHC, 4-stroke
  • Displacement: 149.37 cc
  • Cooling System: Air Cooled
  • Max Power: 12.5 PS at 7500 rpm Max
  • Max Torque: 13.1 Nm at 6000 rpm
  • Emission Standard: Euro 4
  • Gearbox: 5-Speed
  • Fuel Supply: Fuel Injection
  • Fuel Capacity: 12L
  • Mileage: 42 kmpl

 

The engine of the Yamaha XTZ 150 performs just as any commuter bike would, the difference being that the XTZ can also jump into dirt anytime it wants. But is that really worth the price?

 

The Yamaha XTZ 150: Price

 

The Yamaha XTZ 150 costs Rs. 569,900 in Nepal.

As mentioned at the beginning of the blog, adventure motorbikes are in no way budget friendly in Nepal, even though their commuter equivalents at the same power level are much cheaper. The Yamaha XTZ 150 is a prime example—barely any features yet asking for a high price.

 

The market strategy for Yamaha XTZ seems to be competing in reliability with brands like Hartford and Crossfire.

 

Conclusion

The market for adventure and off-road bikes in Nepal is still small with less, in terms of competition than in other motorbike markets, leading to higher prices. But even then, for the budget-conscious buyer, there are still motorbikes that provide good value for their price such as the Hero Xpulse 200 4V, the Crossfire RM 250, and the Benelli TRK 251.

 

And for buyers already invested in adventure riding with deep enough pockets to fund it, there are motorbikes like the CRF 300 Rally, the BMW G 310 GS, and the KTM 390 Adventure that provide excellent build quality and are jam-packed with features.

 

Somewhere in between, lie the rest of the adventure motorbikes on this list. Depending on what meets your needs at the right price, you can decide which motorbike is the one for you.

Top 10 Adventure Bikes In Nepal
Top 12 Motorbike Showrooms In Kathmandu

Year after year, the number of two wheelers in the Nepali market keeps increasing as younger people buy their first bikes and older people start switching to newer ones from bike showrooms, especially across Kathmandu, every season. Back in 2020, the total number of registered two wheelers alone in Nepal was over 20 million, a number which has only increased since then.

 

In the process, tons of people have entered bike showrooms in Kathmandu everyday in search of a machine that will be with them for the next 5 to 6 years.


Walking into a showroom, getting a feel for the bikes, and talking to the representatives is all part of the experience of owning a bike. How you feel about the showroom reflects the service you and your bike will be receiving over the course of your ownership. Hence, it is paramount that you choose the right showroom to buy from, and not just the right bike to buy.

 

Of course, with manufacturers having dozens upon dozens of showrooms in Kathmandu, it can be tough to decide which ones to visit. But not to worry, we’ve made the process of deciding easier for you.

Here are the top 12 motorbike showrooms in Nepal.

 

Bajaj Showroom

When Bajaj Auto Limited was conceived by Jamnalal Bajaj in the 1940, it was from the brand we know today.  When Bajaj was first established, it only imported two wheelers and three wheelers into India, later earning the licence to manufacture Vespas in India. Only in 1986 did Bajaj finally transition into a solely motorcycle manufacturer.

 

After 60 years of automobile history, today, Bajaj is an infamous contender in the motorbike industry in Asia with its bikes; the Bajaj Pulsar, the Bajaj Pulsar NS, the Bajaj Adventure, the latest Bajaj Dominar, and others. The Pulsars have long been the go to choice for power at a low price—earning themselves a bad reputation in circles of parents worrisome for their kids—, and with the latest N160, Bajaj has tuned it down a bit.

Bajaj showroom in kathmandu

Being an Indian manufacturer with close ties to Nepal, there are a total of 106 Bajaj dealerships in Nepal; 16 of which are in Kathmandu, 2 in Lalitpur, and 2 in Bhaktapur. With hundreds of reviews to go by, each showroom is 3.5 star to 4.5 star rated.

 

Needless to say, anywhere in Kathmandu, you can easily find a Bajaj showroom near you. At any one of those showrooms, you can find:

  • Authorised sales of Bajaj bikes

Honda Showroom

Honda is perhaps the most well known brand on this list. Whether it be your uncles and aunts in their 60's or the kids outside playing football on the streets, everyone knows of Honda. And why wouldn’t they? Honda is quite literally the largest manufacturer of motorbikes in the world—making everything from a 110cc cruiser with mileage more than some bikes can go before breaking down, to middle of the hill performance bikes, all the way up to 1000cc monsters that run on MotoGP.

 

Given its size, Honda basically has showrooms everywhere. As the largest manufacturer in the world, Honda has hundreds of showrooms all across Nepal, most averaging almost 4 to 5 star ratings. You’ll probably drive through a couple on the way to work.

Honda Showroom in kathmadnu

But the major showrooms you’ll find are the Syakar Trading Company dealerships in Gairidhara and Dhobighat. Each of these showroom hosts its array of Honda bikes that have been known for their excellent reliability, meaning you probably won’t have to service your bike any more than the kilometres ask for.

 

At the Honda showrooms in Kathmandu, you’ll find:

  • Authorised sales of the 13 bikes available in Nepal
  • Authorised reliable servicing
  • Consistently excellent ratings
  • Excellent financing offers

 

If you’re walking into any major Honda showroom, you can rest assured that you will be greeted with a nice experience. As the sole distributor of Honda bikes in Nepal, under the Jyoti Group of Companies, Syakar Trading Company has been distributing Honda bikes in Nepal since 1986 AD—with a history of reliable service older than many riders that own their bikes, buyers can expect a great experience through the showroom door to their ownership of the bike.

Yamaha Showroom

Yamaha, the ol’ good and reliable. Hailing from Japan, both Yamaha and Honda come with the promise of reliability—and oh boy do they fulfil the promise! But what separates Yamaha from Honda in Nepal is the market segment they cater to. While Honda makes simple commuters for the everyday joe, Yamaha leans into the racing bloodline and makes sporty bikes for younglings looking for some fun—they’ve even made the Yamaha Aerox 155, a scooter with the engine from an R15.

 

Adrenaline junkie teens have been riding R15s for years upon years, and now riders have access to the naked MT15, ensuring that more hooligans are sure to come to the street. Of course, that doesn’t take away from the sales of the FZ series of commuters.

Yamaha showroom in kathmandu

As with its age and lineage, the network of Yamaha authorised showrooms in Kathmandu is pretty extensive with 14 dealerships in the city alone. Maw Enterprises, the authorised distributor of Yamaha bikes in Nepal has two showrooms in Naxal and Tripureshwor—with hundreds of reviews and an almost 4 star rating—, where you can expect the best assortment of bikes and the highest quality customer service.

 

At the Yamaha showrooms in Kathmandu you can find:

 

  • Authorised sales of Yamaha bikes
  • Authorised servicing of Yamaha bikes with online bookings
  • Sales of spare parts
  • Sales of merchandise

 

Given the reliability of Yamaha bikes, you probably won’t be going to the showrooms for servicing any more than the kilometres tell you to.

  • Yamaha R15 v4
  • Yamaha XTZ 150
  • Yamaha R15 v3
  • Yamaha MT 15

Ducati Showroom

From the state-of-the-art manufacturing plants in the picturesque landscapes of Italy to the thrilling race circuits of MotoGP, Ducati exudes the essence of luxury craftsmanship. The precise engineering and  cutting-edge technology used in production are evident in every Ducati bike—whether it be the powerful Panigale superbikes, the versatile Multistrada adventure bikes, or the elegant Monster and Diavel. Each Ducati motorcycle is more than mere mechanical components, and embodies a distinctive identity within the rider and leaves a lasting impression on whoever happens to lay their eyes on it.

Ducati Showroom in Kathmandi

The luxury of the brand should hence reflect in the showrooms that sell its products. And at Turbo Motors Trading in Naxal, it definitely does. With a 4.6 star rating on Google Maps, Turbo Motors is one of the most well reviewed showrooms on this list. With an assortment of Ducati bikes, helmets and even riding gear, the showroom is a one-stop-shop for your riding needs. The showroom stays open between 10AM and 6 PM on weekdays.

If you want to contact the showroom, you can do so through email or by calling 9801088342.

 

KTM Showroom

Hailing from Austria, the KTM brand brings with it a racing heritage that rivals other brands on the list like Ducati on the tracks. Quite literally, KTM and Ducati often compete on the MotoGP race tracks.

 

READY TO RACE — the bold mission statement of the brand tells you all you need to know, and where the motto falls short, the people on their bikes tell the rest of the story; for better or for worse—leading to a mixed bag of attitudes towards KTM bikes on the streets.

KTM showroom in kathmandu

The showroom for the Austrian brand in Kathmandu follows the same design philosophy as their bikes. At showrooms like KTM Bike Showroom at Bhim Plaza Complex in Naxal—with a 4 star rating and over 300 review—, the stark contrast of black and orange draws the eyes of customers, and the walls are filled with images of the bikes showing off their performance—making customers feel as if they're part of the racing and adventure identity. KTM showrooms in Kathmandu like those in Pulchowk and Baneshwor, along with the one in Naxal and many others, provide:

Benelli Showroom

With a remarkable history dating back to its inception in 1911 in pre WW1 Italy, Benelli stands as one of the most venerable brands in the motorcycle industry. The brand’s longevity serves as a testament to their commitment to manufacturing a portfolio of bikes that is consistently desirable to the masses.

 

Of all the bikes Benelli produces worldwide, only 11 models are currently available in Nepal. Even then the 11 bikes cover the low displacement commuter segment, the high displacement high performance segment, and the adventure segment—testament to how Benelli has used its age and wisdom to produce quality bikes at every segment.

Benelli showroom in kathmandu

At any of the 4 four Benelli showrooms in Naxal, Teku, Thimi, and Chandol—each with close to 4 and 5 ratings—, customers can walk in a have a look at commuter bikes like the Benelli TNT 15, TNT 135, and the TNT 150i; adventure bikes like the Benelli TRK 251; and the stunning naked 750cc Benelli 752S.

 

The Benelli showrooms in Kathmandu provide:

  • Authorised sales of Benelli bikes
  • Authorised servicing
  • Sales of Benelli apparel
  • Sales of Benelli cycles.

 

Unlike the others like Ducati and KTM, Benelli’s legacy doesn’t lie in sporty bikes. Instead, the company has been making an assortment of bikes that meet the requirements of the simplest of riders to those entering into the adventure or sport segment.

If you want to contact the showrooms, you can do so through email or by calling 01-4411439.

 

 

Hero Showroom

Hero is quite synonymous to the previous manufacturer on this list. Back in the day, when the Japanese manufacturer Honda wanted to enter the Indian subcontinental market for motorbikes, Hero was the manufacturer of choice to collaborate with. Through their collaboration, a number of Hero Honda bikes were produced, and to this day most people confuse the separate brands as being one.

 

As a result, through the years of joint venture, their brand identities in Nepal have also come to be much the same long after their separation—even the showrooms look similar to each other. Hence, the key services you’ll find at the NGM Hero showrooms in Mitrapark, Kantipath, Balkumari, and Kumaripati are pretty familiar.

 

Where Hero pulls ahead of the competition is with their attractive offers with financing and exchanges. While Honda relies on their reputation to keep customers in flow high, Hero resorts to price cutting the competition in a market segment that is already price elastic.

 

  • Authorised sales of Hero bikes
  • Authorised servicing
  • Authorised sales of spare parts
  • Exchange offer, finance offers, and Sajilo Hero offers.

 

What differentiates Hero from its Japanese counterpart is its massive portfolio of commuter bikes set in history, and recent hits like the Hero Xpulse 200 4V that are regarded as the best bang for the buck bike by popular motovloggers like SMZ, Ride with Sagar, etc.

Hero Bikes Available In Nepal

  • Hero XPulse 200
  • Hero XPulse 200T
  • Hero Xtreme 160R
  • Hero Hunk 150R
  • Hero Xtreme 200R
  • Hero Glamour XTec
  • Hero Xtreme Sports
  • Hero Achiever 150 i3S
  • Hero Glamour
  • Hero Super Splendor IBS
  • Hero Splendor Plus
  • Hero Splendor iSmart 110
  • Hero HF Deluxe

 

If you want to contact the showrooms, you can do so through email or by calling 01-4255565 / 01-4248949.

 

Royal Enfield Showroom

The bullet, the classic, the meteor. Royal Enfield is known for its cruisers in the Nepali market as they are the only bikes from the brand available in Nepal.

 

Before children can sit on the backseat of a bike by themselves, they can tell if a Royal Enfield rolls by with the sound of its exhaust alone. Sounding like a machine gun firing off in the distance, the Royal Enfield bikes earn themselves the name “bullet” by most people.

Royal Enfield showroom in KATHMANDU

From the shape and design of their bikes to the brand itself, Royal Enfield can be thought of as a hefty bearded gentleman in suit out for a ride with fellow bureaucrats while they twist their moustaches in style. The brand is a classic, something that doesn’t need to say what it stands for, because people know.

 

Alpha Automotive, the sole distributor of Royal Enfield bikes in Nepal has made sure that you get the same experience when you walk into their showrooms in Naxal and Balkumari—also where two of their many Authorised service points lie. The two showrooms provide the following services to customer:

 

  • Authorised sales of Royal Enfield bikes
  • Authorised servicing of Royal Enfield bikes
  • Sales of helmets, jackets,  and other accessories
  • Sales of apparel

 

The interior of the showrooms—both of which boast ratings in the upper decimals of 4—also lean into the brand identity with a design that is nothing futuristic or fancy but classic and elegant, just like their bikes.

Royal Enfield Bikes Available In Nepal

  • Royal Enfield Classic 350
  • Royal Enfield Meteor 350

 

If you want to contact the showrooms, you can do so through email or by calling 01-5350009.

 

Crossfire Showroom

Crossfire is a rather young addition to the list of motorcycle manufacturers distributing their bikes in Nepal. Solely making enduro bikes, the Chinese manufactured brand has its own unique selling point to buyers in Nepal—reflecting on its age, the brand takes on a techno-modern design ideology with a contrasting black and orange colour scheme; even seeping into their website.

 

However, as most riders will tell you, the Chinese manufactured bikes fall much further behind in ranks of reliability against the Japanese, German, and even Indian manufacturers.

Crossfire showroom in kathmandu

Since the brand focuses solely on enduro bikes, the showrooms in Chakrapath, Tripureshwor, and Ekantakuna filled to the brim with enduro-centric gear and apparel. Whether you need jackets for skidding across the dirt, or an off road helmet, you can find it at Crossfire’s showrooms.

At the 4.1 star rated Crossfire showroom in Chakrapath, you can walk in assured of good management and customer service, and at all three of their showrooms in Kathmandu you can expect:

 

  • Authorised sales of Crossfire bikes
  • Authorised servicing of Crossfire bikes
  • Sales of endure gears and accessories
  • Sales of apparel

 

Of course, given the youth of the brand, you also have to keep in mind that they haven’t had as much time to refine their brand or service unlike the rest of the manufacturers on this list. So reliability might not be as consistent as the rest.

Crossfire Enfield Bikes Available In Nepal

  • Crossfire HJ 250
  • Crossfire GR7 250
  • Crossfire RM 250 Race Edition
  • Crossfire Tracker 250

 

If you want to contact the showrooms, you can do so through email or by calling 01-4016062.

 

 

BMW Motorrad Showroom

Similar to Ducati, BMW Motorrad is a brand known for luxurious and quality motorcycles with only a few people with pockets deep enough to ride them on the streets for daily use. In the international market, the German manufacturer is known for the likes of the BMW S 1000 RR and the BMW M 1000 RR—a 1000cc motorbike on the ranks of the Yamaha R1 and Kawasaki ZX-10R—, without a doubt one of the best options in the supermoto range.

 

However, in the Nepali market, BMW Motorrad only distributes two of its bikes; a 313cc Adventurer and a 313cc naked—both of which can be bought from the BMW Motorrad Nepal showroom in Naxal, the only BMW Motorrad showroom for bikes in Nepal.

BMW Showroom in kathmandu

The BMW G310 GS  and the BMW G310R are the entry level adventurer and roadster from BMW. For those who really want the full maximum BMW experience but are held back by the country’s imports, these bikes are younger siblings comparable to the more powerful R 1250 GS and the R 1250 R.

 

At BMW Motorrad in Naxal you can get:

  • Authorised sales of BMW bikes
  • Authorised servicing of BMW bikes
  • Sales of spare parts
  • Sales of BMW certified pre-owned bikes with extended warranty

 

When you buy a BMW bike from the showroom in Naxal, you are not just buying a bike but becoming part of a niche community of BMW riders in Nepal.

BMW Motorrad Bikes Available In Nepal

  • BMW G310 GS
  • BMW G310 R

 

If you want to contact the showrooms, you can do so through email or by calling 01-4518798.

 

 

TVS Showroom

Another Indian manufacturer on this list is TVS. Known for the long running Apache series and the Ntorq scooters, TVS is a manufacturer that produces a tech filled experience to riders at an affordable price. Especially with the TVS Raider, TVS has made possibly the best budget option in the commuter segment for newer riders.

 

But don’t form your thoughts on TVS just yet because the manufacturer from India also owns Norton, a historical brand from England. Additionally, from the likes of it, TVS might soon release the TVS Ronin into the Nepali market. The Ronin is a stunning cruiser/cafe-racer that looks like nothing else TVS has ever released, really making use of the Norton acquisition.

 

Read more about the TVS Ronin here.

 

If any of what TVS has to offer seems of interest to you, you can purchase TVS bikes through Jagdamba Motors—the sole distributor of TVS bikes in Nepal—at their showrooms in Naxal and Teku. However, all TVS showrooms are consistently rated 3.5 to 4.5 stars so you can be assured of good service anywhere.

 

At Jagadamba Motor showrooms for TVS bikes in Kathmandu you can find:

  • Authorised sales of TVS bikes
  • Authorised servicing of TVS bikes
  • Attractive financing offers

TVS Bikes Available In Nepal

  • TVS Apache RR 310
  • TVS Apache RTR 200 4V
  • TVS Apache RTR 160 4V
  • TVS Apache RTR 180
  • TVS Raider 125
  • TVS Max 125
  • TVS Stryker 125
  • TVS Radeon 110

 

If you want to contact the showrooms, you can do so through email or by calling 16600131337.

 

Suzuki Showroom

The last manufacturer on this list, also from Japan, is Suzuki. Known internationally for the monstrous Hayabusa, GSXR series, and the squids that ride them; and known in Nepal for commuters like Hayate, and the Intruder, Suzuki definitely has a large presence in the motorbike market.

 

The stylish commuters and powerful sport bikes from Suzuki are solely distributed in Nepal by VG Automobiles Private Limited though 6 showrooms in Kathmandu, and their head office in Teku. At any of these outlets, riders can get a closer look at Suzuki’s portfolio and decide which biking guild suits them best.

 

With a consistent rating of 3.5 to 4 star reviews, Suzuki showrooms provide reliable and enjoyable experience for anyone that walks into their showroom, especially at their head office in Teku. Of course at all of their showrooms you can find:

 

  • Authorised sales of Suzuki bikes
  • Authorised servicing of Suzuki bikes

 

However, for a brand with a rich history like Suzuki, the number of showrooms and the diversity of their bikes available in Nepal seems rather lacklustre in comparison to the other brands on this list.

Suzuki Bikes Available In Nepal

  • Suzuki Gixxer SF 250
  • Suzuki Gixxer 250
  • Suzuki Gixxer SF 150
  • Suzuki Gixxer 150
  • Suzuki Intruder 150
  • Suzuki Hayate

 

If you want to contact the showrooms, you can do so through email or by calling 9801344263 / 9801333949.

 

Conclusion

Altogether, the twelve manufacturers listed here altogether have hundreds of showrooms all over Nepal—Honda and Bajaj alone have 70 and over a hundred each—, a decent chunk of which are found in Kathmandu; making the process of buying a bike much easier.

 

If you’re in the search for a bike, we recommend you visit showrooms of as many brands as possible and take a test drive of the bikes of your choice before making a final decision. In doing so, you get a feel for the bike’s comfort and how the bike performs—not just what the spec sheet says has to say.

TVS Ronin 225 Price and Specifications in Nepal (May 2023 Updated)

For the longest time, TVS has been known for its lineup of RTR bikes, and perhaps recently the Ntorq, in the Nepali market. Like most manufacturers, TVS has stayed firmly within the confines of the commuter and performance segment.

 

However, this time round, TVS has something entirely different to offer. A Cruiser. Yes, TVS, the same company behind the scooter your mom rides, will also be bringing the TVS Ronin 225, a cruiser with a stunning design and a powerful engine, to the Nepali market.

 

The TVS Ronin 225 was first announced in July of 2022, in India; at the price of Rs. 168,750 (Indian Rupees) for the highest specced model (the focus of this article). As for the Nepali market, an official price hasn’t been announced yet. However, using previous prices from TVS, we can expect the TVS Ronin 225 to enter the Nepali market at around 6 Lakh Nepali Rupees.

 

The key difference between the TVS Ronin 225 and the rest of the cruisers in the market is its futuristic, yet classic design. The headlight and sidelights look like something out of a Husqvarna, the asymmetric instrument dash looks familiar to Royal Enfield’s, and the overall design of the Ronin looks like a shiny cafe-racer that the likes of Norton would manufacture—which only makes sense TVS acquired Norton in 2020, two years before the Ronin was announced.

 

While not many customers would’ve expected TVS to enter the cruiser market, TVS has certainly brought something different, something new, to the table. Of course, new isn’t always better, and every bike has to prove itself.

 

So, for those eagerly waiting, here is what the TVS Ronin 225 has to bring to the Nepali market.

 

TVS Ronin 225 Overview

 

The Ronin 225 is TVS’s first attempt at launching a cruiser into the Indo-Nepali market. Back in July of 2022, the Ronin was first introduced into the Indian market, quickly gaining attention—and why wouldn’t it?

 

The bike is powered by a 225cc engine, falling only behind the RR310 in displacement in TVS’s own lineup, the design is built to catch eyes, and well… It is one of a kind. Sure, you can find cruisers, and you can find cafe racers, but you can’t find a Ronin, especially not in Nepal.

 

TVS Ronin 225 Design and Feature Highlights

  • 225cc displacement engine
  • Entirely LED headlight and rear lights
  • Digital instrument cluster with X-Connect technology
  • 7 step adjustable monoshock suspension
  • 9 spoke alloy wheels
  • Dual Channel ABS; Urban and Rain ABS modes
  • Adjustable levers
  • Slipper clutch with assist
  • Newly designed exhaust

 

TVS Ronin 225 design and features

 

Clearly, the TVS Ronin 225 is one of a kind. The Jawa Perak, one of the few comparisons that can be made for the Ronin, doesn’t come with adjustable levers, a slipper clutch, the ability to connect to your phone, or even LED lights for that matter.

 

The TVS Ronin 225 has inherited the racing history of TVS, as a brand, in its design.

TVS Ronin 225 Engine Specifications

While the design and features of the TVS Ronin 225 might be one of a kind, design isn’t everything. Especially in the automobile market. The really saucy part of the bike is the performance.

 

With that being said, here are the engine specifications of the TVS Ronin.

 

  • Engine Type: Single Cylinder, 4 Valve, 4 Stroke, SOHC
  • Displacement: 225.9cc
  • Cooling System: Oil cooled
  • Maximum Power: 20.4 PS at 7750 rpm
  • Maximum Torque: 19.93 Nm at 3750 rpm
  • Gearbox: 5 Speed, slipper clutch with assist
  • Emission Standard: BS6
  • Fuel Supply: Fuel Injection
  • Mileage: 42.95 kmpl

 

In comparison to other cruisers, the TVS Ronin 225 only produces less power than the Jawa Perak, which comes with a 334 cc engine, and weighs 10 kgs more. When compared with the likes of the Royal Enfield Classic and Meteor, the Ronin produces just as much power at a lot less weight and displacement.

 

The bike also boasts an impressive 42.96 kmpl. Of course, how that translates to your real world experience will vary, but on the spec sheet, it is a relieving number to see.

TVS Ronin Body Specifications

 

Holding in the heart of the bike is the body of the bike—a brand new chassis design from TVS and the wheels to go with it. As mentioned before, the TVS Ronin 225 weighs less than the bikes it competes against, but just how much does it really weigh? How good are the dual channel ABS brakes? How much fuel does it hold? And how much does it give? (mileage wise)

 

The answer to all of those questions are below.

 

Brakes, Tires, and Suspension

 

  • Front Tyre: 110/70 Tubeless with 300mm Disc Brake
  • Rear Tyre: 130/70 Tubeless with 240mm Disc Brake
  • ABS Modes: Rain Mode, Urban Mode
  • Front Suspension: 41mm USD Forks
  • Rear Suspension: Monoshock with 7 step adjustable preload
  • Wheel Type: 9 spoke alloy wheels.

 

The brakes, types, and suspension are pretty competitive with other cruiser bikes. Competition from Jawa brings the same level of suspension as the Ronin does.

 

What competitors do not have is the switchable ABS modes. The TVS Ronin 225 comes with two modes; rain and urban. If you’re in a tough spot in the rain and the ABS is just not enough, then you can also engine brake with less risk using the slipper clutch and assist.

 

The TVS Ronin 225, in every sense, is bringing the old and the new together.

Dimension and Fuel Capacity

 

  • Frame: Double Cradle Split Synchro Stiff Frame
  • Seat Height: 795 mm
  • Ground Clearance: 181 mm
  • Kerb Weight: 160 kg
  • Fuel Capacity: 14 Litres

 

Weighing a considerable 160kgs, the TVS Ronin 225 undercuts the competition when it comes to weight, while hosting just about the same amount of fuel in the tank. The seat height however is somewhat taller than the Jawa Perak, affecting the posture and feel of the rider.

 

TVS Ronin 225 Variants

 

The TVS Ronin 225 comes in many flavours, three to be exact. Buyers can get the TVS Ronin 225 in the SS variant, the DS variant, and the TD variant—this blog is centred around the TD variant.

 

The SS and DS variant of the TVS Ronin 225 only come with Single Channel ABS, whereas the TD variant comes with Dual Channel ABS. Where the SS and DS come with regular levers, only the TD variant comes with the adjustable levers. Additionally, there are also visual changes with each variant.

 

Here is a table of the three variants of the TVS Ronin 225 that are currently available, with the key differences.

Other than the colour scheme, the TVS Ronin 225 SS variant and the TVS Ronin 225 DS variant are virtually the same. They are also not the point of the show–given the difference in levers, breaking, the X-Connect app, and the colour scheme, it is clear that TVS wants you to buy the Ronin 225 TD, the rest are just there to nudge you in that direction.

 

Also, what really made TVS include a difference of 1kg in their official comparison of these variants? Are the adjustable levers and disc brakes really that heavy?

TVS Ronin 225 Price In Nepal

 

The price of the TVS Ronin 225 in Nepal is to be announced. However, using the Indian price, and how the prices of other TVS two wheelers have translated into the Nepali market, we can estimate that the TVS Ronin 225 will cost around Six Lakh Rupees in Nepal.

 At that price, the TVS Ronin 225 will be a very competitive cruiser, and might even eat into the 160 to 300 cc enthusiast commuter/sport bikes range.

 

Conclusion

 

Regardless, the TVS Ronin 225 will be something new, something there is not much of in Nepal. The Ronin will be one of a kind—you won’t confuse it for anything else, and those who see it will know what it is the moment they see it—and people will buy it because of that very fact.

KTM Duke 200

 

When the Austrian brand entered Nepal, the Duke 200 was the first KTM bike people could buy. As such, the Duke 200 definitely has a history to it. Even though that might make it sound like the Duke 200 might be outdated, KTM have kept up the design and the latest Duke 200 you can find in Nepal still looks stunning.

 

One of the standout features of the latest KTM Duke 200 is its powerful 200cc engine that delivers impressive performance, making it a force to be reckoned with.

 

Even as the least powerful KTM bike you could buy in Nepal, at 25 PS of power and 19.3 Nm of torque, the Duke 200 still packs in a big punch.

 

To contain the 6 geared machine’s impressive speed and power, the Duke 200 comes equipped with Dual Channel ABS.

While the Duke 200 certainly comes with an impressive spec-sheet, it also comes with a hefty price tag. At Rs. 564900, The KTM Duke 200 costs a large chunk more than its 200cc competitors. The Apache RTR 200 has a similar spec-sheet at a much lower cost of Rs. 411900, and the Bajaj Pulsar 200 ABS Fi comes in at just Rs. 401,900.

 

So it might be a tough choice to justify for those on a budget, looking for a 200cc bike.

KTM RC 200

 

Moving on the RC lineup of KTM bikes available in Nepal, the KTM RC 200. As is standard with the RC lineup, the RC 200 comes with fairings that give the bike a much sportier look. However, the polarising design looks gorgeous to some and decent to others—you should make up your mind on the design after having a look in person.

 

The 200cc sport bike is powered by a 199.5cc single-cylinder engine that delivers impressive performance with a max power of 25 PS at 10,000 rpm and a peak torque of 19.3 Nm at 8,000rpm. As with all the other bikes on the list, the engine is mated to a 6-speed transmission.

  • An LED Headlamp that now comes with a windshield unlike the Duke series.

Duke RC 200

 

Compared to the Duke variant, the RC 200 costs more than a lakh rupees more. Buyers will have to decide if the new set of features that come with the RC variant is really worth the premium KTM is asking for.

 

For those not in the market for naked sport bikes at all, the RC 200 is the cheapest faired sport bike KTM has to offer at Rs. 6,74,900

KTM RC 200 Costs Rs. 674,000 in Nepal.

 

  Pros  Cons
  High performance  Riding position is not good for long rides
 Informative instrument cluster  Lack of a slipper clutch

 

 

 

While the KTM RC 200 has more features than its Duke counterpart, it also comes at a steeper price. Against its major competitor, the Suzuki SF 250, the RC 200 costs almost two lakh rupees more—even though it has lower displacement.

 

A slightly odd comparison would be the Yamaha R15 v3.0 or the R15M. Since the market for faired sport bikes in Nepal is quite small, the Yamaha competes with the RC 200 even though it has less power and displacement. Even then, the RC 200 costs around one lakh rupees more.

KTM RC 390

 

Unlike the KTM Duke series, the KTM RC series doesn’t offer a bike at the 250 mark. Instead, the jump is straight to the KTM RC 390.

 

The KTM RC 390 is powered by a 373.2cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled DOHC FI engine. The sporty engine generates a maximum power of 43.5 PS at 9000 rpm and a peak torque of 37 Nm at 7000 rpm.

 

The engine is mated to a 6-speed gearbox, providing smooth and precise gear shifts.

  • New graphics
  • Slipper Clutch
  • Dual-Channel ABS

  • WP Upside Down Front Forks with WP Monoshock
  • Digital Dash
  • Underbelly Exhaust
  • LED DRLs and Taillamps
  • Twin Projector Headlamp

 

KTM RC 390

 

These new features, along with the tried and tested performance of the 373cc engine comes with the price tag of Rs. 944,900—surprisingly, a bit cheaper than its Duke counterpart, but still over one lakh rupees more than the competing Apache RR 310 that TVS has to offer.

 

But perhaps that price premium can be justified with the spec sheet. After all, the RC 390 has aroud 10 Nms more torque than the RR 310.

However, in the end, it is up to the buyer to decide if the features are worth the price premium or not.

KTM 250 Adventure

 

 

While the Duke and RC lineup by KTM have been getting most of the attention of the general public, KTM also offers the Adventure series in Nepal—a series built for exploring not just the streets of Nepal but everywhere else the country has to offer as well.

 

The Adventure series only comes with the 250 and the 390 variant as of now.

 

The KTM 250 Adventure is powered by a 248.8cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled, fuel-injected engine. At 9000 rpm, the engine delivers a maximum power of 30 PS; and at 7500 rpm, a peak torque of 24 Nm.

 

 The KTM 250 Adventure comes with a 6-speed transmission, multi purpose MRF wheels, and switchable dual channel ABS for fun on the pavement and on the trails.

 

Highlight features of the KTM 250 Adventure

 

  • Ride by Wire
  • Slipper Clutch
  • Adjustable WP APEX Suspension
  • Adjustable Triple Clamp Handlebar
  • BYBRE Brakes with Dual-Channel ABS (Switchable)
  • 5-inch TFT Black-White Display
  • Off-road ABS
  • Dual-Purpose MRF Tyres
  • Off-Road Ready Footpegs

 

KTM Adventure 250

 

The 248cc engine gives the 250 Adventure the power it needs to cross just about every obstacle you could run across in the wild, and the off road footpegs keep your feet firmly on the bike so you can shift well and use the off road ABS.

 

Add to that the ride by wire, improved suspension, off road tires, and every other piece of equipment made for off-roading, and you have the recipe for a bike that can rock the trails, not just drive on it.

 

All that comes at a price of Rs. 819,000 for the KTM 250 Adventure in Nepal.

KTM Bikes Price In Nepal (May 2023 Updated)
Suzuki V Strom 250 SX Price In Nepal | Expected

In the Nepali market so far, Suzuki is known for its sporty bikes from the Gixxer series, and the stand-out two wheelers like the 125cc Burgman and the bold 150cc Intruder. While their product lineup is very well reviewed, it only extends to a few two wheelers.

 

The newest scooter from Suzuki—the Avenis— might be half a year old, but Suzuki hasn’t launched a new bike in Nepal for a couple years now.

 

As such, Suzuki is rumoured to bring a new product into the Nepali market, one built for adventure on the off-road and power: The Suzuki V Strom 250 SX.

 

The V Strom 250 SX recently entered the Indian market at the price of 2.11 Lakh Indian Rupees. Given the trade link of automobiles between India and Nepal, there exists a case to be made for the adventure bike entering Nepali markets soon.

 

Keep reading to see what the Suzuki V Strom 250 SX brings to the Nepali motorcycle segment and what it might cost for Nepali buyers.

 

Suzuki V Storm 250 SX

 

Suzuki V Strom 250 SX Design

 

As Suzuki enters a new market segment of bikes in Nepal, the V Strom 250 SX takes a big turn from the Suzuki’s design philosophy we’re familiar with so far—now looking more akin to the BMW GS 310.

 

Built for adventure riding, the V Strom 250 SX is built like the typical adventure bike: taller frame, 10-spoke aluminium wheels, mud guards, and a raised windshield.

 

If you were to see this bike on the streets today, you’d have a tough time identifying the brand—the easiest identifying factor is the familiar headlight design from the Gixxer series of bikes.

 

Beyond the superficial design, there are the features that the Suzuki V Strom 250 SX brings to the table.

 

Suzuki V Strom 250 SX Features

 

The Suzuki V Strom 250 SX is a familiar looking adventure bike with a few unique features of its own. The bike comes with adjustable handlebars, raised windshield, and mud guards for adventure riding. The dual channel ABS on both wheels lend to much more safety on the bike, especially in unpredictable tracks. Plus, the low fuel and low oil indicators let drivers ride with a bit less worry.

 

  • Adjustable Handlebars
  • LED Headlight and Taillights
  • Split-seat with grab rails for pillions
  • Digital Instrument Cluster with Turn-By-Turn navigation
  • Bluetooth connectivity and a mobile app
  • Mudguards for grips
  • Twin exhaust design
  • Suzuki Eco Performance technology for fuel efficiency
  • 6-speed gearbox
  • Dual-channel dual disc brakes
  • Low Fuel and Low Oil indicator

The Suzuki V Strom series is known for its adventure-driven design, but that doesn't mean the brand has compromised on the comfort and aesthetics of the bike.

 

The V Strom 250 SX strikes a perfect balance between functionality and aesthetics, making it a great option for riders who want to tackle tough terrain while still looking stylish on the road with a pillion on their back.

 

Suzuki V Storm 250 SX

 

The split-seat design and grab rails make it so that riders can take a pillion with them on city rides as well, and the twin exhaust and headlight design pull eyes towards the bike on-road and off-road. The V Strom 250 SX's design ensures that riders not only have a great riding experience but also make a statement wherever they go.

 

Overall, the Suzuki V Strom 250 SX’s design provides both functionality and style. Whether you're commuting in the city or taking on the tracks, the V Strom 250 SX is a great option for both.

 

Suzuki V Storm 250 SX

 

Suzuki V Strom 250 SX Engine Specification

 

The Suzuki V Strom 250 SX isn’t just eye-candy though. Below the rider sits a powerful 4-stroke, single cylinder, 249cc engine attached to a 6 speed gearbox. The combination of mechanical parts lets the V Strom250 SX reach a top speed of approximately 138 kmph.

 

The aforementioned Suzuki Eco Performance technology lets the V Strom 250 SX keep an ARAI claimed mileage of 32 kmpl.

 

Below is a detailed list of specifications for the Suzuki V Strom 250 SX:

  »  Engine Type: Single Cylinder, 4-stroke, 2-valve FI engine

  »  Emission Standard: BS6

  »  Displacement: 249cc

  »  Cooling System: Oil Cooled

  »  Max Power: 26.5 PS @ 9000 rpm

  »  Max Torque: 22.6 Nm @ 7500 rpm

  »  Gearbox: 6-Speed

  »  Top Speed: 122 kmph

  »  Mileage: 32 kmpl

 

While the V Strom 250 SX shows similar numbers to competitors in the segment, without any official claims about the bike in Nepal, it’s tough to judge where it’ll stack up against the rest.

 

When the news does come out, it’ll be exciting to see how the V Strom 250 SX will stack up against the likes of the KTM Adventure 250, Benelli TRK 251, SYM NH 200, and the CRF 300 L rally.

 

 

Suzuki V Strom 250 SX Body Specifications

 

For those interested in more than just what the engine can put to the ground, here is a list of the body specifications of the V Strom 250 SX, including the brakes, suspension, and mileage, among others.

 

   Brakes, Tires, and Suspension

  »  Front Tyre: Tubeless 100/90-19 with Disc Brake

  »  Rear Tyre: Tubeless 140/70-17 with Disc Brake

  »  Braking System: Dual-Channel ABS

  »  Suspension Setup: Telescopic Front Forks and Swing Arm Type Rear Suspension

 

The 10-spoke aluminium wheels, paired with dual disc brakes on tubeless tyres make the bike ready for anything the pavement or the dirt has to throw on it.

 

Whether it be a sudden obstruction on the trail, or a passerby on the streets, the dual channel ABS has riders covered as well.

 

  Dimension and Fuel Capacity

  »  Seat Height: 835 mm

  »  Ground Clearance: 205 mm

  »  Kerb Weight: 167 kg

  »  Fuel Tank Capacity: 12 litres

  »  Colours: Yellow, Orange, Black

 

With a seat height of 835mm the bike might not be the easiest to ride for shorter riders. But then again, when both feet are on the pegs and the bike races through the dirt, the seat height makes little difference.

 

However, 167 kilograms of kerb weight, the V Strom 250 SX is definitely heavier—and possibly harder to manoeuver for riders—than its competitors.

 

The bike comes in one of three colours.

 

 

Suzuki V Strom 250 SX Expected Price In Nepal

 

  Model  Price
  Suzuki V Strom 250 SX  Around 7 Lakhs

 

As of now, the Suzuki V Strom 250 SX is yet to be announced with an official price in the Nepali market. In the meanwhile, motorheads can speculate on the approximate price of the bike given the competitors in the market.

 

Given its competition with the KTM Adventure 250 and the SYM NH 200, the approximate price of the Suzuki V Strom 250 SX should be somewhere around the mid 6 to 8 lakh range. Given the lack of previous versions of the bike in Nepal, the best we can do is take a wide guess.

 

Conclusion

 

In conclusion, the Suzuki V Strom 250 SX is definitely a bike that buyers in the Nepali market should eagerly wait for. While its competitiveness might be up in the air, as the first of its kind from Suzuki in Nepal, the V Strom 250 will certainly have a uniqueness to it regardless.

 

The Suzuki V Strom 250 SX's success in the Nepali market will definitely be something to keep track of—its introduction is undoubtedly a significant step for Suzuki and the adventure bike sector in Nepal.

 

Therefore, riders can look forward to an exciting and unique adventure with the V Strom 250 SX.

Yamaha Aerox 155 In Nepal; Price, Specifications, and Availability.

With a lineup of commuters to get you to work as well as sport bikes fast enough to blow your socks off, Yamaha has something for everyone’s taste.

 

However, over the years, a niche that Yamaha was yet to fulfil was the performance scooter lineup. At 125ccs, the RayZR might’ve overtaken its competitors, but it still left a lot to be desired.What about those who wanted more speed? Those who wanted to race the scooters and the bikes as well?

 

With the release of the Yamaha Aerox 115 in Nepal at the price of Rs. 474,900, buyers have just the right thing! While buyers had to wait longer than the promised launch of the Aerox at the later-cancelled NADA Auto Show 2022, the Yamaha Aerox 155 is now entering the Nepali market with full force.

 

Yamaha Aerox 155, a maxi-scooter with the heart of a racer—a BS6 engine directly from the Yamaha R15, capable of reaching speeds of 120 kilometres per hour, with a claimed mileage of 45 kilometres per litre.

 

 

Yamaha Aerox 155 Overview

 

The major highlight of the Aerox 155 is the engine straight from the R15. It is almost unbelievable that Yamaha’s maxi scooter houses the pure-bred engine from one of the most recognizable bikes in Nepal. The Aerox is bound to turn just as many heads when it speeds past traffic.

 

Along with the performance, the bulky Aerox is also filled to the brim with looks and features that scream performance.

 

A glance at the design is enough to tell how sporty the Aerox is going to be—even the side lights integrated into the body add to the sporty look. The Aerox’s athletic proportions and the styling of the headlights are few and far between on the roads.

Yamaha Aerox

In the driver’s vision lies an all-digital blue instrument cluster. The tachometer, odometer, fuel, and battery gauge, and notifications from the Bluetooth connection are all placed neatly on the screen in a layout that looks straight out of a MotoGP bike.

 

From design and usability to pure performance and price, here is a quick and simple overview of what the Aerox 155 has to bring to the Nepali market.

 

Yamaha Aerox 155 Price in Nepal

 

The maxi scooter Aerox 155 by Yamaha comes at the steep cost of Rs. 474,900. Even though it easily costs a decent chunk more than its competitors, the price to performance ratio is somewhat justifiable-albeit, while the Aerox nears the price of the Yamaha R15, where it gets its engine from, perhaps it doesn’t perform to the same level to demand such a price.

 

But let’s face it, the people who are going to buy the Aerox 155 won’t be buying it for its price to performance ratio. They’ll be buying it because the Aerox can smoke just about every scooter there is on the road, and even a bunch of bikes.

 

You’re not going to find another scooter with the engine of a flagship bike.



Yamaha Aerox 155

 

   Yamaha Aerox 155 Specification

  »  Type: Liquid-cooled, 4-stroke, SOHC, 4-valve

  »  Displacement: 155 cc

  »  Bore & stroke: 58.0x58.7mm

  »  Compression ratio: 11.6:1

  »  Maximum horsepower: 15. PS at 8000 rpm

  »  Maximum torque: 13.9 N.m at 6500 rpm

  »  Fuel system: Fuel injection

  »  E20 Compatible: Yes

  »  Mileage: 48.62 Kmpl

  »  Max Speed: 120 Kmph

  »  Type: V-Belt Automatic

  »  Clutch: Automatic Centrifugal Clutch

 

At almost 14 Nm of torque and 15 PS of horsepower, the numbers that the Aerox delivers rival those of mid-range bikes such as the Pulsar N160, Hero Xtreme 160R, and Yamaha FZS V3; needless to say, scooter competitors like the Aprilia SR 150 fall behind by a decent margin in power and torque department—which is evident given the R15 engine.

 

Enquiry: Yamaha Aerox 155

 

But while the Aerox packs the same engine as the R15, the automatic transmission makes the ride much smoother. Riders can enjoy the power of the sporty engine capable of hitting speeds of 120 kmph without worrying about having to shift gears in traffic and on inclines constantly.

 

The fuel injection on the Aerox also lets riders be carefree about prepping the scooter before a ride.

 

Yamaha Aerox 155

 

    Yamaha Aerox 155 Chassis and Dimensions

 

  »  Frame Type: Deltabox

  »  Front Suspension: Telescopic Fork

  »  Wheelbase: 1,350 mm

  »  Minimum Ground Clearance: 145 mm

  »  Fuel Tank Capacity: 5.5 litres

  »  Kerb Weight: 126 kg

 

 

Given the larger size, the Aerox also weighs more than the average scooter. To accommodate the weight and the speeds at which it travels, the Aerox comes with a disc brake and ABS on the front, while the back gets the regular drum brake.

 

The fuel tank might leave a bit to be desired with its 5.5-liter capacity. The 48 kmpl mileage isn’t disappointing by any means but refuelling might be an issue for some—let’s face it, you’re not going to get 48 kmpl if you’re driving it beyond the economy, and there is no fun riding an engine of this calibre in the economy.

 

The style

 

The Yamaha Aerox is one of the few maxi scooters in Nepal. As such, it is bound to catch the eyes of others. If that weren’t enough, the Aerox 155 also styles a stunning design that screams performance.

 

Yamaha Aerox 155

 

The LED headlamp and integrated DRLs are reminiscent of the R series of Yamaha sport bikes, the blue instrument cluster is jam-packed with performance and mileage indicators, and—packing in the engine from the R15—the size of the Aerox 155 alone demands respect on the streets.

The Growing Popularity of Electric Bikes and Scooters in Nepal

Electric bikes have grown in popularity in Nepal in recent years. Electric bikes are becoming increasingly popular as an environmentally responsible and cost-effective means of transportation.

In this blog, we will look at the reasons behind the increasing popularity of electric bikes in Nepal, as well as their benefits and a detailed reference to the top 10 best electric bikes and scooters available in Nepal.

Electric bikes and scooters

Exploring the Growing Popularity of Electric Bikes in Nepal 

 

The advancements in technology have made electric bikes more accessible and affordable for consumers in Nepal, and the government is also providing incentives and subsidies to encourage the adoption of electric vehicles.

 

In Nepal, the government has put in place a number of policies and measures to encourage the usage of electric vehicles. The National Electric Mobility Mission Plan (NEMMP) was established in 2013 with the goal of significantly reducing vehicle emissions.

 

The government has established a target of 30% electric vehicle adoption by 2030 and has implemented many measures to assist this aim, including tax breaks, subsidies, and financial incentives for the purchase of electric vehicles. 

 

Additionally, the government has set up charging infrastructure across the country to support the growing number of electric vehicles on the road, making it more convenient for consumers to switch to electric vehicles. 

 

 

Benefits of Electric Bikes in Nepal 

 

One of the primary reasons for owning an electric bike in Nepal is that they are affordable. With growing fuel prices, electric bikes provide a more cost-effective means of mobility. The cost of electricity to power an electric bike is much lower than the cost of gasoline to power a gasoline motorcycle. Furthermore, electric bikes do not necessitate regular journeys to the gas station, which may be both time-consuming and costly.

 

Another benefit of electric bikes in Nepal is that they are environmentally friendly. Unlike traditional gasoline-powered motorcycles, electric bikes emit zero emissions. In a country like Nepal, which is already grappling with air pollution, the use of electric bikes can help reduce air pollution levels significantly. 

 

Aside from the benefits mentioned above, the majority of them are listed below. 

 

  • Environmentally friendly: Electric bikes produce zero emissions, helping to reduce air pollution levels in a country already grappling with air pollution.
  • Cost-effective: With rising fuel prices, electric bikes offer a cheaper mode of transportation.
  • Minimal maintenance: Electric bikes require minimal maintenance compared to petroleum motorcycles, making them a more affordable option.
  • Noise pollution reduction: Electric bikes produce less noise pollution compared to traditional motorcycles, making them a great option for urban areas.
  • Easy to ride: Electric bikes are easy to ride and require minimal effort to start, making them accessible for people of all ages and abilities.
  • Efficient: Electric bikes have a high energy efficiency rate, allowing for more miles per unit of energy than traditional motorcycles.
  • Government incentives: The Nepalese government offers incentives and subsidies to encourage the adoption of electric vehicles, making electric bikes more accessible and affordable for consumers.
  • Improved health: Riding an electric bike can be a great form of exercise, improving cardiovascular health and reducing stress levels.



Why Are Electric Bikes a Game-Changer for Nepal's Commuting Environment?

 

With rising fuel prices, electric bikes offer a cheaper mode of transportation. Additionally, electric bikes require minimal maintenance compared to petroleum motorcycles. The use of electric bikes in Nepal can significantly reduce air pollution levels. By using electric bikes, Nepalese can contribute to reducing pollution levels and making the country a healthier place to live in.

 

  • Affordable transportation: With rising fuel prices, electric bikes offer an affordable mode of transportation for Nepalese who may not be able to afford a traditional motorcycle or car.
  • Efficient energy use: Electric bikes are more energy-efficient than traditional motorcycles, meaning they require less energy to travel the same distance. This can lead to a reduction in overall energy consumption in the country.
  • Easy to charge: With the government's focus on increasing access to electricity in Nepal, it is becoming easier to find charging stations for electric bikes.
  • Reduction in dependence on foreign oil: As Nepal does not produce oil domestically, the country is dependent on foreign oil imports. Electric bikes can help reduce the country's dependence on foreign oil and increase energy security.
  • Promoting eco-tourism: Nepal is a popular destination for eco-tourism, and the use of electric bikes can help promote sustainable tourism practices and reduce the environmental impact of tourism.
  • Supporting local economy: The production and maintenance of electric bikes can create job opportunities for Nepalese workers, which can help to support the local economy

 

The Cost Benefits of Owning an Electric Bike in Nepal

 

Owning an electric bike in Nepal is cost-effective in the long run. As mentioned earlier, electric bikes require minimal maintenance compared to traditional motorcycles, and they are cheaper to run. The cost of charging an electric bike is significantly lower than the cost of fueling a traditional motorcycle. Additionally, electric bikes have a longer lifespan and retain their value better than traditional bikes, making them a smart long-term investment.

Electric Scooters Vs Petrol Scooters Cost Comparison

Cost Breakdown between EV and Petroleum Vehicle

 

  • Purchase cost: In general, EV two-wheelers have a higher purchase cost than petroleum two-wheelers. However, the cost of EV two-wheelers has been decreasing in recent years, making them more affordable for consumers. 
  • Running cost: The running cost of EV two-wheelers is significantly lower than petroleum two-wheelers. As electric bikes use electricity, the cost of charging is much lower than the cost of petrol. Additionally, electric bikes require minimal maintenance compared to petrol bikes, which can also save on repair and maintenance costs.
  • Government incentives: The government of Nepal offers various incentives and subsidies for the adoption of EVs, including two-wheelers. These incentives can significantly reduce the cost of purchasing an EV two-wheeler, making it more affordable for consumers.

 

Overall, while the initial purchase cost of an EV two-wheeler may be higher than a petroleum two-wheeler, the long-term savings in terms of running and maintenance costs can make them a more cost-effective option for consumers. Additionally, government incentives can further reduce the cost of owning an EV two-wheeler, making it a more attractive option for environmentally-conscious consumers.

There are so many new options, technologies and variations of helmets that are available in the Nepali market today. From helmet visor material, to its build, the helmets brand, its safety standards and even more variables must be considered when purchasing a good helmet for your safety when riding the two-wheeler. We have listed some essential tips to consider when purchasing the best helmet for you:

1. Safety Standards:
- Look for helmets that meet safety standards such as DOT (Department of Transportation), ECE (Economic Commission for Europe), or SNELL (Snell Memorial Foundation). These certifications ensure that the helmet has passed safety tests and meets minimum safety requirements. Nepali market has such helmets with safety marks such as Shark, AVG, Studds, SMK, LS2 and more.

2. Fit:
- It is important to choose a helmet that fits you properly. The helmet should be snug but not “too tight”, and it should not be able to move around on your head. A well-fitted helmet should also not cause any pressure points or discomfort.

3. Comfort:
- Comfort is key when choosing a helmet. Look for helmets that have good ventilation, as this will help to keep you cool and prevent fogging. Additionally, consider the weight of the helmet, as a heavy helmet can cause strain on your neck and shoulders. A helmet weighing 1500 to 1800 grams is acceptable for regular usage.

4. Type of Helmet:
- There are different types of helmets available, including full-face, modular, open-face, and half-helmets. Each type has its own pros and cons, so it will be wise to choose the one that suits your needs and preferences.

5. Price:
- Quality helmets can be expensive, but remember that it is an investment in your safety. Don't compromise on safety for a cheaper price. Look for helmets that are within your budget, but still meet safety standards and provide the features you need.

6. Brand and Reviews:
- Look for reputable brands that have a good reputation for safety and quality. Additionally, read reviews and feedback from other riders who have purchased and used the helmet you are considering.

“NepaliWheels has review videos on Shark, AGV helmets on its youtube channel which will provide you basic knowledge on the helmets functionalities and price.”

7. Replace it After 4 to 5 years:
- A helmet's lifespan is considered to end between 4 to 5 years of its initial purchase. It is suggested by industry practitioners that a regularly used helmet must be replaced in 4 years. The accumulated external dust, germs and foreign against and the internally the riders perspiration will have created a thin unpleasant film of dirt. This cannot be eliminated through the regular helmet washing. Thus, to benefit from a better air ventilated helmet, it must be replaced.

JAWA Fourty-Two | Review

The name JAWA makes me picture a rider on the sleek JAWA cruiser motorbike, wearing a leather jacket and boots and a steel bucket helmet. JAWA definitely has a hold of its image among its buyers and the viewers. JAWA bikes were originally globally manufactured for racing purposes. In the recent years, after it entered the Indian market, JAWA as a brand has had a strong neck to neck competition against the reigning cruiser bike; Royal Enfield. Regardless, the JAWA classic bikes have different fan following in every market it steps into.

BODY AND BUILD:
JAWA 42’s entire look revolves around the modern retro design. Almost all JAWA bikes have that classic retro elongated design, alongside a modern element. The JAWA 42 definitely inherits the design of its siblings but with additional sporty changes. To maintain the “Retro feel” the headlamps have a circular halogen yellow toned bulb. Wide positioned handlebars and the side mirrors placed at the edge of those handlebars look divine. A small, compact yet practical simple analog instrument cluster placed to the right of the rider's view has a small digital odometer, speedometer and fuel indicator. From the Fuel gauge cover to the handlebars , the JAWA stamp is visible.

One can sport the new cushioned seats that are softer and more comfortable than its previous model.

The Pillion seat might seem to look a tad bit small and uncomfortable but a JAWA cruiser would suit a solo rider, right??

Everything about the design is very simple and muted. It definitely has everything that takes to make the perfect cruiser. A new addition; Saree guard can be found on the bike. The double exhaust system is what makes the JAWA 42 better than every other JAWA motorcycle. This looks too cool. Finally the end of the bike is topped with halogen lamps, continuing the retro sports structure and design of the JAWA 42.

ENGINE AND PERFORMANCE:
JAWA 42 gets a 293cc, Single-Cylinder, 4-stroke, Liquid-cooled, Fuel Injected DOHC, BS6-Compliant Engine. This engine generates a max power of 26.51PS and a max torque of 28Nm. The JAWA 42 and the JAWA Classic share the same exact engine. An advantage of teh Fuel injected engine on JAWA 42 is that it supports the Side-Stand Engine cutoff feature; an essential feature in today's day.

JAWA 42 is mated with a 6-speed transmission. Being a cruiser it also slightly resonates to a sporty two-wheeler. This makes the JAWA 42 a sporty cruiser. Below is the list of information on its speed and mileage that helps better understand how powerful the JAWA 42 is.
Top speed: 121 kmph
Accelerates from 0 - 100 KM: in approx. 13 seconds
Mileage: approx. 35 kmpl
Fuel Capacity: 14 liters

SPECIFICATIONS
Wheels size:
Front: 18 inch 90/90
Rear: 17 inch 120/80
These tires could easily cruise in many provided terrains, but a cruiser would perform best on lengthier rides on a smooth black topped highway road; especially with no speed limits.

Dimensions:
The JAWA 42 weighs at around 172 kgs which is definitely on the heavier side. The 765mm seat height is comfortable for a rider with an average height. The heavy weight could be one issue for a rider when handling the bike but thai issue can be managed with time and usage. A Ground clearance of 165mm is provided which is pretty acceptable for a cruiser that specializes in riding on smother roads.

Braking System and Suspension:
There are two braking options available; Front Disc only and Dual Disc. The dual disc brakes are definitely better for enhanced safety and improving the overall riding performance. The single channel ABS helps the front and rear brakes integrate with one another to deliver a better braking performance.
The Suspension setting is a combination of the front Telescopic Hydraulic Fork and a rear Twin Shock Hydraulic with Gas-Charged Canister. On the highway roads, nothing can beat how smooth the cruiser can glide through the roadway. Suspension travel is unfortunately on the shorter alley which could make the rides on the rough terrain more stiff.

CONCLUSION:
JAWA 42 is better than its classic variant. A Cruiser equipped with a sporty element to it makes the JAWA 42 even better than its old variant. This motorcycle has definitely secured one of the top positions of Nepali Wheels’s selection of cruiser bikes. JAWA 42 is available in 6 color variants in Nepal:
Lumos Lime (matte), Nebula Blue, Galactic Green (matte), Starlight Blue (matte), Halley’s Teal (matte) and Comet Red.

Classified under the Premium cruiser category, the JAWA 42’s single channel ABS variant is marked at Rs. 6,73,000, whereas the dual channel ABS variant is priced at Rs. 7,04,000. The JAWA 42 is ideal for highway roads where it can cruise smoothly with no limits. The motorcycle is loved for its combination of simplicity and ruggedness, built into this sports cruiser.

6 Tips For Checking Tire Pressure

Checking your motorcycle's tire pressure is an important maintenance task that should be done regularly to ensure your safety on the road. NepaliWheels heavily promotes and emphasizes regular two-wheeler parts checkup and accessories change so that the riders as well as their two-wheelers are safe.

Below we listed easy guide to checking the tire pressure on your two-wheelers:

1. Gather the HANDY tools:
- You'll need a tire pressure gauge, a tire pump and obviously the two-wheeler’s tire. Nowadays, a digital tire pressure gauge is the most accurate, but an analog one would work perfectly.

2. Locate the recommended tire pressure:
- The recommended tire pressure for your motorcycle can usually be found in the owner's manual or on a sticker on the motorcycle itself. “The average PSI(Pounds per square inch) for a scooter’s tire would range between. 24-36 psi and for a motorcycle it would range between 30-50 psi.” It is important to use the recommended tire pressure, as underinflated or overinflated tires can affect handling and increase the risk of a crash.

3. Check the tire pressure:
- Remove the valve cap from the tire and press the tire pressure gauge onto the valve stem. The gauge should provide a reading of the tire pressure. If the pressure is too low, use the tire pump to inflate the tire. If the pressure is too high, use the gauge to release some air from the tire.

4. Check both tires:
- Repeat the above steps for both tires, as the front and rear tires may require different pressures depending on the type of two-wheeler one is riding.

5. Always DOUBLE CHECK!!
- When checking your tire pressure, make sure to also inspect the tires for any signs of damage or wear. Look for cuts, punctures, or bulges, which can indicate a problem with the tire that needs to be addressed. Precaution is always better than cure.

6. Replace the valve cap:
- Actually the most important step, Once you've finished checking the tire pressure, replace the valve cap on each tire. If the valve cap is not attached back on the tires, risk of leakage is higher. It's important to check your motorcycle's tire pressure regularly, ideally before every ride.Checking your tire pressure should be done at least once a month, or more frequently if you're driving long distances or in extreme temperatures. It's also a good idea to check your tire pressure before a long road trip. It's also a good idea to check the tire pressure when the tires are cold, as the pressure can increase as the tires warm up during riding. Over time, tires can lose pressure naturally due to temperature changes and other factors. It's important to check your tire pressure regularly to ensure that your vehicle is safe to drive and to prolong the life of your tires.
