  There are motorcycles that you ride, enjoy, park, and forget about. And then there are motorcycles that seem to whisper something into your ears every time you saddle up - a suggestion, a dare, a promise of adventure where none existed before. The Husqvarna Svartpilen 401 , for me, was very much the latter. After spending a solid week with this motorcycle through dusty trails, congested city lanes, and open highway stretches, I can confidently say: this one made me fall in love with the  idea of scrambling . First Impressions: Neo-Retro with a Twist At first sight, the Svartpilen 401 doesn’t try to look like your typical retro scrambler. Husqvarna has gone bold with a  neo-retro-meets-futurism  language. The lines are sharp and geometric, with a single round LED headlamp that’s wrapped in a modern DRL ring. The tiny tank shrouds, slim tail section, and matte paint finishes give it an almost concept-bike vibe. Where a Ducati Scrambler looks playful and nostalgic...

  **Update: KTM has upgraded the 390 Adventure X to X+ by adding IMU-based Cornering Traction Control, Cornering ABS, and Cruise Control, making it a better all-rounded package now.** In the ever-expanding world of adventure motorcycles, KTM has carved a niche for itself with its aggressive styling, performance-oriented machines, and a no-nonsense approach to off-road capability. The 2025 KTM 390 Adventure X is the latest iteration in this lineage, positioned as a more accessible, road-biased sibling to the standard 390 Adventure . But does this stripped-down version still deliver the thrills and versatility that KTM promises? Design & Build Quality: Rugged Yet Familiar At first glance, the 390 Adventure X looks unmistakably KTM. The sharp, angular bodywork, vertically stacked LED projector headlamps with integrated DRLs, and the signature beak-style front fender all scream adventure. The bike borrows heavily from its elder siblings like the 890 Adventure, giving it a premium...

  The TVS Apache RTR 310 is a motorcycle that has garnered a lot of attention since its launch. With its aggressive styling and powerful performance, it aims to capture the hearts of young riders and enthusiasts alike. However, like any machine, it has its strengths and weaknesses. Let's dive into a detailed review of the TVS Apache RTR 310. Styling and Quality The Apache RTR 310 stays true to the Apache heritage with its aggressive streetfighter stance. The low-slung front end, muscular fuel tank with sharp extensions, exposed frame, and pointed tail section catch the onlooker’s attention everywhere. The Fury Yellow color scheme adds to its bold and eye-catching appearance. However, some might find its styling a bit confusing and disproportionate, with the front fascia looking bulky compared to the rest of the minimalistic bodywork. Ergonomics and Comfort The Apache RTR 310 offers a fairly comfortable riding position. With a seat height of 800mm, it is accessible even for short...

However, one particular feature has sparked much debate among riders—the bike's stiff rear suspension . Let's delve deeper into what makes the Super Meteor 650 unique, and how this sportsbike-inspired suspension impacts its performance and rider comfort. Design and Aesthetics At first glance, the Super Meteor 650 impresses with its elegant cruiser lines. The sweeping tail section, broad fuel tank, and distinctive round headlight pay homage to classic cruiser designs. The bike's low-slung stance, wide handlebars, and forward footpegs promise a laid-back, comfortable riding posture suitable for long-distance cruising. Yet, beneath this cruiser facade lies an unexpected...
