The short-stroke semi-cam design works with Honda’s distinctive Two Motor Throttle By Wire (TBW) system to snap the throttle open fast, feed power in smoothly, and provide engine braking that feels clean and controlled. Honda CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP: Advanced Technology and Rider-Centric Design Built around advanced tech and a rider-first design, the bike packs a 6-axis IMU, three ABS modes, a three-stage Honda Electronic Steering Damper, nine levels of traction control, adjustable engine braking, and precise wheelie control that keeps you steady even when the front end starts to lift. The 5-inch TFT screen lets you choose riding modes and tweak the preload to match your weight—so if you’re lighter, the bike won’t feel like you’re bouncing on a stiff spring. HRC’s custom winglets sharpen the aerodynamics for quicker, more agile moves, and the RC213V-S-style swingarm locks in extra grip, holding the tyre firm through each corner. The Akrapovič titanium exhaust sings with a sharp, climbing note, while the Öhlins Smart Electronic Control 3.0 suspension keeps each bump in check for razor-sharp handling on the track. To keep riders comfortable, the bike now has higher handlebars and lower footpegs, so your knees feel less cramped, and a standard three-level quickshifter lets you click through gears in one smooth motion. At 201 kilos, with a 16.5-litre tank and an 830-millimetre seat, the Fireblade SP rolls on 17-inch tyres, gripping the road with twin 330-millimetre front discs and a 220-millimetre rear. Blending razor-sharp electronics, sleek aerodynamics, and ergonomics shaped around the rider, it stands firmly as Honda’s most advanced supersport machine in India.

Ola Hits 1 Million EV Milestone, RoadsterX+ Unveiled

Subrata Dasgupta / September 17, 2025

Ola Electric hit a major milestone, sending its one-millionth vehicle out the gates of the Krishnagiri plant in Tamil Nadu, less than four years after the first rolled off the line in 2021. To mark the occasion, the EV maker rolled out a special RoadsterX+ in deep midnight blue, with red glinting on the rims, a two-tone seat, and a matching battery pack. The bike features eco-friendly details like badges stamped from recycled copper scraps and gleaming electroplated bar ends. To celebrate, Ola has kicked off its One in a Million campaign, asking customers to share their most unforgettable rides—like that rainy night when a driver went the extra mile to get them home. Whoever tells the most original story will drive away in the landmark RoadsterX+ itself, putting the roar of the engine—and the brand’s rider community—at the center of this win. This milestone comes just after Ola Electric’s Sankalp 2025 event, where the company rolled out its India Inside vision—a clear roadmap toward full supply chain independence and deep vertical integration, laid out with the precision of blueprint lines on crisp paper. Highlights included the commercial debut of the 4680 Bharat Cell, powering the S1 Pro+ (5.2 kWh) and the RoadsterX+ (9.1 kWh); the launch of the S1 Pro Sport, a performance scooter packing a 16 kW motor, topping out at 152 km/h, with a claimed 320 km range and ADAS tech, priced at ₹1,49,999 and set to hit roads in January 2026; and the unveiling of a rare-earth-free ferrite motor, slated for a phased rollout starting Q3 FY26. At the event, the Moonshot Project revealed its Diamondhead motorcycle for the first time worldwide—a machine with hub-centred steering, aerospace-grade materials, and a blistering 0–100 km/h launch that hits in just two seconds, like being yanked forward by a slingshot. Ola plans to roll out this sleek, futuristic model in 2027 for under ₹5 lakh, a move that sharpens its push into the premium EV market.

TVS Motor Company has quietly rolled out the new TVS Jupiter Stardust Black special edition in India, with a price tag of ₹93,031 (ex-showroom, Delhi) and a glossy finish that catches the light like wet stone. Sitting just above the range-topping Disc SXC trim, it’s now the most premium model in Jupiter’s lineup, with details as polished as its gleaming chrome accents. This edition skips mechanical changes and focuses on style instead, with fresh paint and sharper trim catching the eye. The scooter wears an all-black coat for a bold, stealthy vibe, with a chrome-tipped exhaust heat shield reflecting the light and bronze accents highlighting the badges and TVS emblem. The Stardust Black edition, like the Disc SXC model, leaves out the kick-start, though you can have one fitted at a dealership if you want—just a slim metal lever tucked neatly by the engine.

Ducati’s new cylinder deactivation system now kicks in even while you’re riding, trimming fuel use by about 6% over the last model — enough to smell less gas at every stoplight. The bike also features an automatic lowering system that drops the seat by up to 30mm at low speeds, making it easier to handle in city traffic and during stop-and-go moments, like waiting at a red light. The Multistrada V4 S now comes with the latest Skyhook DSS EVO semi-active suspension, tuned with predictive tricks like sensing a bump before you feel it, plus a self-levelling system that keeps the bike steady when you’ve got luggage or a passenger on board. The new Forward Collision Warning adds another layer of protection, working alongside Adaptive Cruise Control, Blind Spot Detection, and the Ducati Brake Light — like an extra pair of eyes watching the road ahead. The braking system has also been fine-tuned to send power where it’s needed, shifting smoothly between the front and rear wheels based on the load and how the rider handles the levers. The 2025 model gets a sharper Panigale V4-inspired front, a new silencer design, and improved LED headlights with cornering functionality. Inside, the 6.5-inch TFT screen still runs Ducati Connect, letting you pull up maps, take calls, or stream music with a quick tap. The pillion now rides in greater comfort, thanks to a reshaped seat and panniers and top case set a little farther back for better posture.
