Royal Enfield Off road ready 'Himalayan'

A quick sneak peek from 2018 Bangkok Auto Show 

RE is an old yet most notorious brand international motorcycle market especially in India! It is a high feeling pride to own a RE motorcycle. Well, they are not disappointing their customer with the product. But when the Himalayan was first launched most of the users were fed up with low quality components used in and around Himalayan. You never know when it will break down. RE worked hard and reiterated the bike and provided the Himalayan again with refined quality components and fuel injection.

Now Himalayan comes with single pot 411cc air cooled motor producing 25hp and 32Nm which is mated to 5 speed gearbox. But this post is not about performance review but a new variant which was showcased earlier this week in 2018 Bangkok Auto Show. The Himalayan Off roader. They have removed most of the body parts and replaced with sport polymer parts to reduce weight! In addition to that, RE fitted a high mount free flow exhaust system for that puchy torque delivery when you splash through the mud terrain, and tucked enough for clearance!

2018 BMW 3 Series lineup has got new variants "Luminance Edition" & "Shadow Edition", - such a oxymoron right?   Since 1975, BMW has been manufacturing the new and refreshing range of sport sedans especially 3-series, which has its unique place in the global market. Wide range of power options and comfort level provided by 3-series is tremendous among other direct rivals. In that lineup, the limited 'Shadow edition' and 'Luminance edition' sits perfectly without any shake! The key differences between those editions are aerodynamics and interior styling! The 320i and 330i Shadow editions has complimentary M package that includes 19" Star spoke alloys, M Aerodynamics package, Sport + driving mode, M leather steering wheel and 'Dakota' leather upholstery and multi function instrument cluster (only standard in 330i).
