It's time to look back at the year and cast your vote for The Team-BHP Two Wheeler of the Year. This is where YOU - the BHPian - will choose our Two-Wheeler of 2023. The Team-BHP 2WOTY is by owners & enthusiasts, not advertorial experts & paid jury members. Just as well since us bike owners are the ones who pay the industry's bills .

Listed below are the launches of 2023.

• The contenders have been sorted in a price-ascending order (cheapest first).
• It's only ALL-NEW bikes that are included in our 2WOTY award. That excludes the "refreshed" headlamp & tail-light versions, facelifts and engine variants.
• This is a public poll. Other BHPians will be able to see what bike you have voted for.
• Models costing over ~20 lakh rupees and a few niche players have been excluded from our 2WOTY. Reason = Low relevance & commitment to the Indian marketplace.
• Note that the list does not include the bikes that will be launched in December. The reason being that it would be a new product of which neither we nor BHPians would've taken a test ride to form an opinion. There would be no ownership reviews or posts, hence such bikes would be included next year.
• Link to Team-BHP's 2WOTY 2022
• As has always been the case, we insist there will only be ONE Team-BHP Two Wheeler of the Year. Why? Simply because we don't believe in handing out an award for the "headlamp of the year" or "footpeg of the year" (as examples). Some award ceremonies have 25 awards to ensure there's one for each bike manufacturer (aka advertiser) in India. We have no such inclination, and will only focus on the best, most important new two-wheeler of 2023.

Looking forward to your votes, and also the reasoning behind your choice. Thanks!

River Indie - Review Link



What you'll like:

• Very distinct styling that makes the Indie immediately stand out in a vast sea of two-wheelers
• Lots of customization possible through accessories, making the scooter very versatile in terms of applications and user profile
• 3 Riding Modes with varying power delivery and range allow for flexibility of use
• Motor produces 9 BHP and 26 Nm of torque. Riding in Rush mode is tremendous fun!
• 4 kWh battery gives the e-scooter a realistic range of ~120 km in Eco mode which is generous for bumper-to-bumper traffic
• Ample storage space and then some more! 43 litres of under-seat storage capacity, 12 litres of glovebox space, and more on the floorboard / storage hook
• The bike feels sturdy and easy to maneuver. Wide seat, extended front footrests and ample leg / knee room make for comfortable ergonomics

What you won't:

• We expected more aggressive pricing, relative to the entrenched players. Furthermore, the pre-launch price tag of 1.25 lakhs will be increased soon
• Missing features like phone pairing (music, calls), turn-by-turn navigation, ABS. Also, a very basic MID display
• Fit and finish could be better. A few plastic panels and body parts feel extremely flimsy
• Several features such as fast charging, connectivity features, and Accessories are still under development
• With a dealer and service centre network yet to be set up, buying and servicing experience are unknown. Additionally, expect sales outside Bangalore / Karnataka only in the next fiscal year
• This being a new product from a new company, the long-term ownership experience is unknown

Hero Karizma XMR - Review Link



What you'll like:

• Massive brand recall as it was the first successful "sports bike" in India
• Fantastic styling coupled with acceptable build quality
• Value for money! We find the Karizma well-priced for what it offers
• Powerful 210cc engine mated to smooth 6-speed gearbox with slip & assist clutch
• Comfortable seating for both rider and pillion
• Hero MotoCorp's widespread sales and service network
• Features such as adjustable visor, automatic headlamps, slip & assist clutch, dual-channel ABS, turn-by-turn navigation, USB Charger etc.

What you won't:

• Not as ground-breaking as the original Karizma. Might not live up to its legendary status
• Market is dominated by competition. Hero needs to aggressively market this bike if they intend to get a breakthrough
• Fairly neutral to ride. Not as exciting as some rivals
• Small 11-litre fuel tank will limit touring range
• Missing features such as riding modes, upside-down fork, traction control etc.
• Available in a single variant only and just 3 colours
• 6,000 km service interval is on the shorter side

Royal Enfield Bullet 350 - Related thread

Royal Enfield has launched the 2023 Bullet 350 at a price of Rs 1.74 lakh (ex-showroom).

The new Bullet 350 is based on the J-platform. The same architecture underpins the Hunter 350, Classic 350 and Meteor 350. In terms of design, the new model looks almost similar to the outgoing version. It gets a single-piece seat and other minor changes. The bike also gets a semi-digital instrument console but misses out on the Tripper Navigation feature.

The Bullet 350 is powered by a 349cc single-cylinder air-cooled engine that develops 20.2 BHP @ 6,100 rpm and 27 Nm @ 4,000 rpm. It is mated with a 5-speed gearbox.

Triumph Speed 400 - Review Link



What you'll like:

• Quintessential Triumph design that can stand proud next to the rest of its modern classic range
• Build quality, fit and finish are of a high order - arguably the best in the broad segment it straddles
• Stunning price proposition! Bajaj and Triumph have launched it at a price that leaves no doubt that they're gunning for a thumping success
• 39.5 BHP engine is reasonably tractable with a strong pull. Smooth & refined power delivery at a kerb weight of ~176 kg, results in a fairly peppy performance aided further by a slick 6-speed gearbox
• Great ground clearance in real-world riding, combined with a reasonably plush ride
• Exciting but not intimidating - the bike is very beginner-friendly and will be easy to recommend to newer riders as well as older ones getting back to some easy riding after a gap
• A very generous 16,000 km / 1-year service interval. Parts and service costs are also expected to be kept competitive

What you won't:

• Absence of some features like connected tech, riding modes etc.
• Very tall folk may find themselves gravitating towards the Scrambler 400. The Speed 400 looks just a tad small for very heavyset / very tall riders
• Non-adjustable brake and clutch levers, although they are light and easy to operate. Adjustable levers would have been a nice touch.
• Analogue + Digital speedometer doesn't suit the bike's character. They should've gone in one of these directions, either the simple round style similar to the Trident or the gorgeous twin dials of the 1200 classic
• Only single-sided saddle bag luggage is being offered by Triumph as of now. You will have to look at aftermarket solutions for double-sided saddle bags
• The entire service experience remains uncharted territory with Triumph leaving a negative perception on this front in some parts of the country. Whether one can have a positive dealership experience under Bajaj’s watch is something that remains to be seen

Harley Davidson X440 - Review link



What you'll like:

• Single-cylinder, 440cc engine has good low-end torque to make city riding as well as highway cruising comfortable
• NVH and refinement are really good. Combined with good ergonomics, you can cruise at 80-100 km/h all day long
• Well priced. It is on par with its peers, albeit with an extra ~40-90 cc
• Built by Hero, who know the Indian two-wheeler consumer extremely well
• Decent level of kit - standard dual-channel ABS, Bluetooth connectivity, connected features, etc.

What you won't:

• Design and styling can be polarising. Not your typical Harley
• In a segment that has heated up with lots of new offerings, the X440 doesn't ace any specific aspect
• No riding modes or traction control. Essentially not a lot of ways to customize your ride
• This is the first product of the Harley Davidson - Hero partnership. Sales, after-sales and service support and experience are unknown

TVS Apache RTR 310 - Related thread

TVS has launched a streetfighter version of the Apache RR 310. The new naked bike is called the Apache RTR 310 and is priced at Rs 2.43 lakh (ex-showroom).

The Apache RTR 310 can be seen as TVS' version of the BMW G 310 R. While it shares the same architecture, the RTR 310 boasts a unique look. It has sporty dual LED headlamps with integrated LED daytime running lights, an exposed frame and a chin fairing. The bike gets a short tail section with twin LED tail lights. The Apache RTR 310 features a 5-inch digital instrument console, cruise control, GoPro control and 5 riding modes. It is also the first bike in the segment to get a climate control seat and dynamic lights that change their intensity depending on the speed.

TVS X - Related thread

TVS has launched its second electric scooter called, 'X' in the Indian market. With a price tag of Rs 2.50 lakh, the new TVS X is the most expensive e-scooter in India and is not eligible for the FAME-II subsidy.

The TVS X is based on the company's new 'Xleton' architecture. It uses an all-new aluminium alloy frame that is said to be 2.5 times stiffer than a conventional frame. The e-scooter has a wheelbase of 1,285 mm and a ground clearance of 175 mm. The seat is set at a height of 770 mm, with an underseat storage capacity of just 19 litres.

The TVS X certainly looks exciting though. The design is inspired by the Creon concept that was showcased at the 2018 Auto Expo. It has a vertical LED headlight with sequential turn indicators on either side and additional daytime running lights. It has a maxi-scooter look featuring sporty, dual-tone bodywork and a stepped seat. The rear sub-frame and brake calipers are painted blue.

The TVS X has a tilt-adjustable 10.25-inch touchscreen instrument console with an in-built NavPro navigation system. It supports games, live video streaming and browsing. The X also comes with several safety features like an anti-theft alarm, speed limiter, overspeed alerts, fall alert, geo-fencing, auto-locking, tow alert, live vehicle location sharing and a PIN-based unlocking system. It also gets cruise control.

The TVS X uses a 4.44 kWh nickel-manganese-cobalt battery pack offering a range of 140 km. It powers a ram-air-cooled permanent magnet mid-drive motor that generates a continuous power of 9.38 BHP and a peak output of 14.75 BHP. There are three riding modes: Xtealth, Xtride and Xonic. TVS claims the X can sprint from 0-40 km/h in 2.6 seconds and 0-60 km/h in 4.5 seconds, while its top speed is 105 km/h.

Triumph Scrambler 400 X - Review link



What you'll like:

• Quintessential Triumph design that looks distinctly like its bigger Scrambler siblings for the most part
• Build quality, fit and finish are among the best in the segment
• Thanks to its taller and more substantial stance, it does better visual justice to the 400cc ‘big bike’ feeling than the much more compact Speed 400
• Larger riders will also appreciate its relatively roomier ergonomics compared to the Speed
• Nice bespoke touches which lend aesthetic value as well as utility where needed - sturdier metal bash plate, headlight grille, twin barrel exhaust with the black cladding, round indicators, tank grips, step-up seat to highlight some
• 19” wheel, superior ground clearance, longer wheelbase and better suspension travel, all make for a much more stability-biased ride, in keeping with its Scrambler DNA
• 39.5 BHP engine is reasonably tractable with a strong pull. Smooth & refined power delivery at a kerb weight of ~185 kg results in fairly peppy performance aided further by a slick 6-speed gearbox
• Still a hoot to ride despite its taller stance and longer wheelbase
• Generous 16,000 km / 1-year service interval. Parts and service costs are also expected to be kept competitive

What you won't:

• Missing features like connected tech, riding modes, adjustable clutch and brake levers, etc.
• Inexperienced riders (especially shorter ones) may find the 835 mm seat height a tad challenging
• Analogue + digital instrument cluster doesn't suit the bike's character
• Some ergonomic issues such as mirrors fouling with hand and footpegs flexing downwards while stand-up riding
• Vibrations at higher rpms
• Split rear seat is compact. Riders should carefully evaluate how comfortable the bike will be for two-up touring with luggage if that is a key use case
• Only single-sided saddle bag luggage is being offered by Triumph as of now. You will have to look at aftermarket solutions for double-sided saddle bags or wider luggage options
• Entire service experience remains uncharted territory with Triumph leaving a negative perception on this front in some parts of the country. Whether one can have a positive dealership experience under Bajaj’s watch is something that remains to be seen

KTM Duke 390 - Review Link



What you'll like:

• A delight to handle on track as well as on the streets. Very nimble and flickable around the corners
• Adjustable suspension settings are now available as standard for the front and the rear. Helps you customise your ride experience

• Entire range of features like Connectivity features (calls, music, turn-by-turn navigation), Bluetooth pairing to Phone and even a wired/wireless Headset

What you won't:

• While the low-end torque has improved by almost 5 Nm, you'll continue to go 3-2-1 on the gears while within the city
• The Quickshifter, while a huge leap from the outgoing model, still isn't textbook perfect during gear shifts
• OEM tyres don't match up to the performance the bike is capable of
• Narrow seat can get uncomfortable on longer journeys
• Looks have generally been polarising on the KTMs
