The powertrain and underpinnings of both motorcycles created by the Bajaj Triumph joint venture are identical, but they have distinct apparel.
One of the most publicized partnerships in the Indian car sector recently is that between Bajaj Auto and Triumph Motorcycles.
The joint venture will produce high-end mid-displacement motorcycles that will be sold in India and other international markets under the renowned British brand.
The collaboration between the two automotive behemoths resulted in the creation of at least two bikes with similar mechanical components and engines but slightly different body designs. Recently, both of these motorcycles were seen for the first time on camera. One is a scrambler, while the other is a neo-retro roadster.
The first will compete against models like the Royal Enfield Meteor 350, while the second will compete against models like the Yezdi Scrambler and the future Royal Enfield Hunter 350.
Features & Hardware
This test mule’s instrument console was a rectangular digital TFT, similar to those used on KTM’s 390 family of motorcycles.
To fit the character of the bike, the production-spec model might instead employ something more vintage, such a circular semi-digital cluster. Additionally, the bike is anticipated to include numerous riding modes and complete LED lighting.
Regarding its hardware, it appears that the scrambler and its roadster variant are based on a tubular chassis with bolt-on rear subframes.
Although the suspension system of the scrambler is probably going to allow more travel, the chassis will be suspended on upside-down forks at the front and a mono-shock at the back.
A 4-piston radially mounted caliper with a single disc at the front and rear will be responsible for braking. The scrambler uses a larger 19-inch front alloy wheel compared to the roadster’s 17-inch front wheel.
Both bikes’ rear wheels are still 17 inches, but the alloy wheels on the scrambler are fitted with Metzeler semi-knobby road-biased tyres.
The spy photos imply that the saddle on the scrambler will also be higher. The Bajaj Triumph motorcycle’s release in 2023 has been confirmed. Prices in the Rs 2 lakh range are anticipated.

Bajaj-Triumph Scrambler: Engine
There has already been considerable discussion of the roadster. The motorcycle’s engine is used in the scrambler, a kind of vehicle.
The same motor will power two bikes, as was previously announced. Although specific details are still unknown, we anticipate that this mill will be a single-cylinder device with a displacement of less than 500cc.
Since the engine has a comparable appearance, Triumph is thought to have created it. A triangular-shaped enclosure that resembles the larger Bonneville’s houses the motor.
The motor has cooling fins; however they are merely for aesthetic reasons because the enormous radiator it has indicates that the motor is a liquid-cooled device. Most likely, the engine will have a 4-valve, DOHC configuration like the Bajaj-developed KTM models.
The new Triumph scrambler, like its roadster sibling, takes design cues from the British company’s neo-retro motorbike lineup.
The Street Scrambler from Triumph, which has distinctive features including a round headlight, an engine underbelly crash shield, a teardrop-shaped fuel tank with rubber pads on the sides, and split-style seats, is the most obvious stylistic influence.
Despite having significantly distinct designs, the roadster and scrambler share a single exhaust tailpipe with a dual-barrel canister.
The latter’s scrambler appeal is emphasized by the inclusion of a rear luggage rack, knuckle guards, a short flyscreen, and a tall-set front fender that resembles a beak. Some of these features will be available as accessories.
