The off-road focused motorcycle gets a 21-inch front and an 18-inch rear wheel, shod with block pattern tyres.
With very minimal fairing, the Enduro R sports a fully adjustable suspension at both ends.

4. KTM 390 SMC R
First unveiled at the EICMA 2024, KTM recently revealed the detailed specifications of the much-awaited 390 SMC R. Sharing the underpinnings and some cycle parts with the 390 Duke, the supermoto is 11kg lighter than its Duke sibling.
Some of the highlights of the 390 SMC R include a 9-litre fuel tank, 17-inch wheels on both ends, rear switchable ABS, a 4.2-inch TFT display from the Duke and three riding modes. Expected to launch in India by the end of 2025, the KTM 390 SMC R is powered by the familiar LC4c 399cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine.
5. Triumph Scrambler T4
After launching the Speed T4 in the Indian market last year, Triumph is ready to debut a lower-spec version of the Scrambler 400 X. Likely to be called the Scrambler T4, the two-wheeler was spotted sans camouflage last year in December. The T4 scrambler will likely be powered by the familiar 398cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine, in a lower state of tune, similar to the Speed T4, putting out 30.6 bhp and 36 Nm of peak torque.
As per the company, this setup produces 80% of the torque at just 2,500 rpm, making it easy to slick through city traffic with fewer gear shifts. Expected to launch in the coming months, the Scrambler T4 will carry a lesser selling price of around Rs. 15,000-20,000 as compared to the Scrambler 400 X.
