Triumph Motorcycles Come Thumping Into India, Launches A Flurry Of New Bikes

Triumph has shifted gears and entered the Indian market with a bang. They have brought a large line-up of motorcycles to India under classic, superbikes, tourer and cruiser category. The Range starts from Rs 5.7 Lakhs and goes upto 20 Lakhs (Ex-showroom Delhi). The queue includes popular bikes from their factories such as the Rocket III roadster, Thruxton and Bonneville.

The company has plans to build low-end 250 CC motorcycles for emerging markets such as India and China, and in a year or two’s time we would be able to see them on the Indian tarmac. Triumph made quite a buzz at the 2012 Auto-Expo and today after almost two years they have fulfilled their promise to be on the India roads.

A market leader such as Triumph motorcycles coming to India should infuse new life into the ailing bikes segment, which has being going through a period of change. With the launch, the first dealership from the British bike maker will go live in Bangalore.

The competition in the premium-end motorbike segment just got hot and all eyes will be on the 2014 edition of auto-expo to see how other bike makers respond, and who brings what to the Indian roads.
