Also, the event has always been a great platform for two-wheeler manufacturers to showcase their new motorcycles and scooters. As such, here are the top 5 crowd-pullers at the India Bike Week 2022.
822 Himalayan
The 822 Himalayan is probably the maddest motorcycle at the India Bike Week 2022. Though the motorcycle is the result of two custom motorcycle builders coming together to produce an icon of a motorcycle. In a nutshell, Autologue Design and Auto Engina together built a 822cc Himalayan motorcycle.
How? For starters, the 822 Himalayan uses a custom-built 822cc, parallel-twin engine. However, this engine is not a bored or stroked version of the 650cc, parallel-twin engine from the Interceptor 650. In fact, the mad engineers combined two Himalayan engines, and this custom unit produces 44.5hp of peak power and 55Nm of peak torque.
The 822 Himalayan motorcycle also uses a custom-built 2-to-1 exhaust, exhaust and lower half frame. According to Autologue Design, the 822 Himalayan cost somewhere around Rs 13 lakh to build. However, the team is currently working to reduce cost and slimming the frame of the 822 Himalayan.
KTM 890 Adventure
KTM motorcycles are well-known to create sharp and aggressive motorcycles, and the new 890 Adventure motorcycle doesn't disappoint at all. In fact, KTM 890 absolutely nailed the Adventure 890 motorcycle and attracted a lot of crowd at the India Bike Week 2022 held in Goa.
