2024 Bajaj Chetak Premium Spied At Dealer – More Range, TFT Dash
Tumblr media
2024 Bajaj Chetak Premium
2024 Bajaj Chetak Premium Spied: Increased Range and TFT Dash
The Bajaj Chetak is set to get an update in the Indian market with the launch of the Premium variant scheduled for 5 January. The biggest change to the Chetak is to its instrumentation. Gone is the circular screen that has made way for a colour TFT unit.
This unit will come with Bluetooth connectivity and turn-by-turn navigation as well ride modes. That said, we are yet to know if Bajaj will deviate from the 2.9kWh battery pack to a bigger and better performing unit. However, we can be sure of an increase in riding range, just like the Chetak Urbane version.
Bajaj might introduce connectivity features through the TFT display, allowing riders to pair their smartphones with the scooter. This could enable features like navigation, call alerts, and music control directly from the scooter’s dashboard, enhancing convenience and safety.

Bajaj Chetak Premium
It enables Bluetooth connectivity while a turn-by-turn navigation system will help largely for city users. The new version gets a remote immobiliser, TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System), call and SMS notifications along with the music. The under-storage capacity has grown by 3 litres to 21 litres and no changes have been made as far as ride modes (Eco and Sports) are concerned.
The top speed has increased to 73 kmph but it is nowhere near some of its main competitors. The charging time is also up by half an hour and it is unknown whether the electric motor will have higher capacity or not.
With the additional features and changes, we can expect Bajaj to increase the price of the Chetak Premium by a few thousand rupees over the previous Rs 1.20 lakh pricing.

Royal Enfield Goan 350 Name Trademarked

Royal Enfield Launches
Royal Enfield Goan Classic 350 will focus on a more comfortable riding stance, best suited for long distance journeys
Royal Enfield is currently working on a slew of new motorcycles based on its three main platforms, the J-series 350cc, twin-cylinder 650cc and the latest Sherpa 450cc liquid-cooled engine. The 350cc category is the highest-selling and most popular choice amongst customers.
Royal Enfield has a strong grasp of the 350cc segment with bestsellers like Classic 350, Bullet 350, Hunter 350 and Super Meteor 350.Coming soon is the Goan Classic 350 that will further strengthen Royal Enfield’s entry-level portfolio.

Royal Enfield Trademarks
Goan Classic 350 name is likely to be used for the bobber-style motorcycle that has been spotted on road tests multiple times in recent months.
The name seems to have been inspired by the party capital of India – Goa, which also sits well with the bike maker as Royal Enfield has its Garage Cafe in Goa, and celebrates its annual motorcycle festival, Motoverse aka Rider Mania, in the state as well.
How is Goan Classic 350 different from Classic 350?
Spy images of the 350cc bobber have revealed that while the bike will carry traditional Royal Enfield design cues, critical changes will lead to very different ergonomics from the rest of the 350cc models.
For instance, the forward-set foot pegs will be complemented by taller handlebars twisted towards the rider. This will lend the bike an appearance of a traditional American chopper.

Taller handlebars can contribute to improved back posture, better control on challenging terrains, and increased stability.
Goan Classic 350 could also see changes in the seat design and seat height. A test mule spotted recently was seen with a rear pillion seat. This could be made available via a separate variant or as an accessory.
The bobber 350 could also have slightly forward set footpegs. Test mule sightings also reveal that Goan Classic 350 will have a different exhaust tip. As a result, it is likely that the exhaust note will also be distinct.
You may like it : Triumph Daytona 660 teased, unveil on January 9
Goan Classic 350 specs, performance
Most of the hardware for the bobber version will be the same as Classic 350. Typical bobber motorcycles have a longer wheelbase. But that’s not the case with the Goan Classic 350. Royal Enfield has favoured a mild bobber look and feel, instead of going for a full-fledged makeover. The latter could have necessitated major tweaks to the platform, which in turn will increase development and production cost. Goan Classic 350 will have the same 1,390 mm of wheelbase as Classic 350.
Since we expect the Goan Classic 350 to be a special edition model, the underpinnings and engine might remain unchanged. So, the motorcycle will use a 349cc, air/oil-cooled motor that will make 20.2bhp at 6,100rpm and 27Nm at 4,000rpm. The engine will come paired with a five-speed gearbox.

Royal Enfield Shotgun 650 vs Super Meteor 650
Royal Enfield is an iconic brand which is considered the Best Bikes globally. Royal Enfield has recently introduced its latest model, the Shotgun 650, in the vibrant city of Los Angeles.
Last year, Royal Enfield gave the world its first twin-cylinder cruiser, the Super Meteor 650. It was everything we expected from the brand, topped off with a load of first-time tidbits for an Enfield. Now, you have another 650cc RE cruiser motorcycle on offer, the just-revealed Shotgun 650.

RE Shotgun 650
In contrast, the RE Shotgun 650 will also come with the same powertrain. We have to wait for differences in the output of the Shotgun.
Still, we know the kind of power and torque it would generate based on the powertrain from the Super Meteor. However, the difference will lie in the engine casing.
Tumblr media
RE Shotgun 650
The Shotgun 650 is likely to get a blacked-out treatment, whereas it gets a glossy finish in the Super Meteor 650. Apart from that, the crankcase cover on the Shotgun will get the ‘Royal Enfield’ logo in comparison to the ‘RE’ logo in the Super Meteor 650. It will have a fuel tank capacity of 13.8 litres.
Both motorcycles will be underpinned by the same steel tubular spine frame and an identical suspension setup. This includes a 43 mm inverted fork at the front with 120 mm travel and twin shock absorbers at the rear with preload adjustability.
Tumblr media
RE Shotgun 650
The wheel travel on the Shotgun would be 90 mm in comparison to 101 mm in Super Meteor. Similarly, the brake setup will be identical too. This means that there will be a 320 mm disc at the front and a 300 mm disc at the rear with twin-piston floating callipers at both ends.
The dual-channel ABS will come as standard.SpecificationsRE Shotgun 650RE Super Meteor 650 Engine 648-cc parallel twin 2-cylinder 648-cc parallel twin 2-cylinder Power 47 PS 47 PS Torque 52.3 Nm 52.3 Nm Transmission 6-speed 6-speed Front Brake Disc 320 mm 320 mm Rear Brake Disc 300 mm 300 mm Fuel Tank 13.8 L 15.7 L
Royal Enfield Shotgun 650 vs Super Meteor 650 – Price Comparison
The RE Super Meteor 650 ranges from Rs 3.61 lakh and Rs 3.91 lakh, ex-showroom. On the other hand, the prices of the Shotgun will be announced at the official launch event.
Still, the official website mentions an ex-showroom price of Rs 4.25 lakh. But it’s not sure whether this is for the base model or the top model.PriceRE Super Meteor 650RE Shotgun 650 Base Trim Rs 3.61 lakh Rs 4.25 lakh (exp.) Top Trim Rs 3.91 lakhkh Rs 4.25 lakh (exp.)
Dimensions Comparison
In terms of the dimensions, the Super Meteor will have a slight edge. That is because it is a cruiser biker, whereas the Shotgun is a Bobber bike. Therefore, the latter will be slightly shorter and higher up the ground.DimensionsRE Shotgun 650RE Super Meteor 650 Wheelbase 1,465 mm 1,500 mm Ground Clearance 140 mm 135 mm Seat Height 795 mm 740 mm Kerb Weight 240 kg 241 kg Front Tyre 100/90-18 100/90-19 Rear Tyre 150/70-17 150/80-16
Design Comparison
The two motorcycles will borrow a lot of design elements. However, staying true to their silhouette – Cruiser and Bobber, there will be alterations which will tell each other apart.
Apart from that, there will be distinctions in headlight design, turn indicators (on headlight cowl on Shotgun instead of the fork on Cruiser), and mid-step footpegs on the Bobber with a flat handlebar.

Essentially, the Bobber will have an upright stance. On the other hand, the foot pegs on the Super Meteor 650 will have a forward-set configuration with a curved handlebar. As a result, it will offer a more laid-back stance for the rider, a typical trait of any cruiser bike.
