Hero MotoCorp to invest Rs 1,758 crore more in Ather

Hero MotoCorp to invest Rs 1,758 crore more in Ather
Hero MotoCorp to invest Rs 1,758 crore more in Ather

Hero MotoCorp will invest up to Rs 1,758 crore to increase its stake in Ather Energy, taking its holding in the electric two-wheeler maker from 29.88 percent to approximately 32.8 percent on a fully diluted basis.

  1. Hero MotoCorp will buy existing Ather shares worth up to Rs 1,758 crore
  2. Its stake will rise from 29.88 percent to approximately 32.8 percent
  3. The deal comes shortly after Hero’s separate Rs 1,000 crore investment in Ather

The investment was approved by Hero MotoCorp’s Committee of Directors on August 27 and will involve the purchase of existing Ather shares from an existing shareholder. This makes it a secondary transaction, rather than a fresh issue of equity by Ather. The deal will be funded entirely through cash and is expected to be completed by September 3, 2026. No government or regulatory approvals are required.

The latest investment comes shortly after Hero announced plans to invest up to Rs 1,000 crore in Ather through a preferential issue. Ather subsequently allotted Hero convertible warrants worth Rs 959.99 crore as part of that investment.

The two transactions are separate, with the earlier investment involving securities issued by Ather and the latest Rs 1,758 crore deal involving the purchase of existing shares. Taken together, Hero has committed up to around Rs 2,758 crore to Ather through the two transactions.

Hero has been an investor in Ather for several years and is already its largest shareholder. The latest investment will further strengthen its position in the company as Ather continues to expand its electric two-wheeler business and charging network across India.

Ather’s turnover has grown significantly over the past three financial years, rising from Rs 1,753.8 crore in FY2024 to Rs 2,255 crore in FY2025 and Rs 3,671.76 crore in FY2026.

The company designs, manufactures and sells electric two-wheelers and operates its own charging network with an open-source connector that’s shared with Vida. Ather’s portfolio includes the 450 range and Rizta, while its presence has expanded across the country. As for the brand’s immediate plans, Ather is slated to launch its first-model based on the EL platform tomorrow, at its community day, intended to slot in below the Rizta.

Yamaha YZF-R2 vs KTM RC 200: Price and specifications compared

Yamaha YZF-R2 vs KTM RC 200: Price and specifications compared
An image showing front right three quarter of the Yamaha YZF-R2 and KTM RC 200

Yamaha has just launched the YZF-R2, making their supersport line-up become plural once again. Although they sound closer to each other, the established YZF-R15 and its new big brother are further apart than you might think. So how does Yamaha’s new entry on the 200cc class compare to the tried and tested KTM RC 200? Let’s find out.

All prices mentioned here are ex-showroom, Delhi.

Yamaha YZF-R2 vs KTM RC 200: Engine and output

The Yamaha makes marginally more power and torque

From the get go, the Yamaha pulls ahead by making 1.5hp more power than the KTM with a 0.1Nm less torque; both bikes deliver peak power and torque at the exact same range in the revs. However, the R2’s biggest advantage is in its 149kg kerb weight, made evident in its noticeably higher power-to-weight ratio. More on that in the next section.

Yamaha YZF-R2 vs KTM RC 200: Dimensions and weight

Yamaha continues to increase the gap

As we said, Yamaha’s biggest advantage comes with its 149kg, a whopping 11kg less than the KTM. That gap only increases with other dimensions, well, except for the fuel tank capacity. The R2 has a smaller fuel tank, but the KTM’s 1.7-litre larger fuel tank only justifies about 1.25kg of its added heft. In return, the R2 gives you more usable seat height and ground clearance.

Yamaha YZF-R2 vs KTM RC 200: Tyres, brakes, and suspension

KTM has (almost) all the advantage

Suspension (F/R)

In the handling package, the KTM pulls its trump cards. It gets bigger tyres, brakes, as well as a larger front fork. Both brands use the tried and tested radially mounted caliper at the front, with a floating caliper handling the rear stopping duties. The R2 does offer preload adjustability on both ends on the top M variant. On the RC, that’s only available at the rear.

Yamaha YZF-R2 vs KTM RC 200: Features

Yamaha offers a host of extra features

Being the newer motorcycle, it’s not a surprise that the R2 has more features but Yamaha, almost uncharacteristically, have pulled out all the stops on this front. Do note that to get the full suite, you’d have to spring for the R2 M which is currently Rs 21,000 more expensive than the RC 200. If you do, you get three ride modes (Rain, Street, Sport), a 5-inch TFT instrument cluster, assist and slipper clutch, traction control, a bi-directional quickshifter, keyless system, adjustable footpegs, and adjustable levers. The first four are standard on all three variants, with the middle variant offering the quick shifter, and the M giving you the rest. There are other cosmetic differences between the three variants as well.

On the other side, the KTM gives you a 5-inch TFT cluster, the ability to turn off rear ABS, and… that’s it. To get even close to the R2’s feature set, you’d have to look at the bigger KTM Supersport, the RC 390. Both motorcycles have the ability to connect your smartphone to unlock functionalities like call alerts, music control, and turn-by-turn navigation.

Yamaha YZF-R2 vs KTM RC 200: Price

Yamaha offers more value than the KTM

 

Yamaha YZF-R2

KTM RC 200

Price

Rs 2.30 lakh (base)

Rs 2.39 lakh (middle)

Rs 2.53 lakh (top)

Rs 2.32 lakh

Yamaha has priced the R2’s base variant lower than the RC 200’s one and only variant. Even then, the R2 is ahead in terms of the features and the overall value. The KTM’s case only gets weaker from there. It’s worth mentioning here that the KTM RC series have not been updated to the third generation yet, which is perhaps why the feature set hasn’t caught up. Last we checked, the next major refresh for the RC series is at least a year away.

Yamaha has finally launched the YZF-R2, the much awaited follow-up to the YZF-R15. This marks the company’s brand-new launch in a really long time. The R2 gets an all-new platform with a 204cc engine. It continues to be a single-cylinder, liquid-cooled, DOHC engine as seen on the R15 but makes 26.5hp at 10,000rpm and 19.3Nm at 8,000rpm. The valves are coated with DLC (diamond-like carbon) coating, a feature seen on the erstwhile flagship YZF-R1.

Yamaha is looking to further sweeten the deal with features like ride-by-wire throttle which enables three ride modes, assist and slipper clutch, 37mm USD forks, and dual-channel ABS as standards. It continues to have features like a 5-inch TFT dash and Traction control, all seen on the R15 M. 

Yamaha has announced that the YZF-R2 will be exclusively available through their Blue Square network. The R2 starts at Rs 2.30 lakh for the base variant and Rs 2.53 lakh for the top of the line M variant.

Yamaha has finally launched the YZF-R2, the much awaited follow-up to the YZF-R15. This marks the company’s brand-new launch in a really long time. Pre-bookings had already opened for Rs 10,000 with the R2 being added to the sportbike line-up. The R15 will also continue to be on sale alongside the MT-15 and the XSR 155.

  1. Yamaha’s brand-new Indian launch in a long time
  2. Powered by a 204cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine
  3. Makes slightly more power than rivals

Yamaha R2: What’s new from the R15?

Brand new engine and multiple new features

The R2 gets an all-new platform with a brand-new 204cc engine. It continues to be a single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine as seen on the R15 but makes 26.5hp at 10,000rpm and 19.3Nm at 8,000rpm. However, it comes with a DOHC setup as opposed to SOHC on the R15, and it misses out on Variable Valve Actuation (VVA) that the 155cc engine is known for. The valves on the R2 are coated with DLC (diamond-like carbon), also seen on the erstwhile flagship YZF-R1. Yamaha reports a seat height of 810mm and a kerb weight of 149kg, making the R2 the lightest of its segment. In addition to the significant weight advantage, the R2 also makes slightly more power and similar torque to its rivals, KTM RC 200 and Hero Karizma XMR.

Yamaha YZF-R2: Features and variants

Three variants in a Rs 23,000 range

Yamaha is looking to further sweeten the deal with features like ride-by-wire throttle which enables three ride modes, assist and slipper clutch, 37mm USD forks, and dual-channel ABS as standard. It continues to have features like a 5-inch TFT dash and Traction control, all seen on the R15 M. The second variant steps it up by offering a segment-first bi-directional quickshifter and body coloured alloy wheels. The range topping R2 M variant adds preload adjustable front and rear suspension, adjustable brake and clutch levers, faux-suede seat, and a smart keyless system. All three variants get their own distinct colours.

Yamaha has announced that the YZF-R2 will be exclusively available through their Blue Square network. The R2 starts at Rs 2.30 lakh for the base variant and Rs 2.53 lakh for the top of the line M variant; both prices are ex-showroom, Delhi. Pre-bookings are already open, with deliveries starting mid-September. 
 

5 things to know before buying the Honda Rebel 300

5 things to know before buying the Honda Rebel 300
Honda Rebel 300

The Honda Rebel 300 is the first model in the Rebel family to be manufactured locally and acts as the brand’s most accessible cruiser motorcycle here. Built around a bobber-style design with a teardrop fuel tank, round LED headlamp and short exhaust, it is sold exclusively through Honda BigWing dealerships. Here are answers to some of the most commonly asked questions about it.

What is the price of the Honda Rebel 300?

The Honda Rebel 300 is available in two variants. The Standard variant is priced at Rs 2.22 lakh and the E-Clutch variant at Rs 2.62 lakh – a Rs 40,000 premium for the automated clutch system. At Rs 2.22 lakh, the Standard variant undercuts the Royal Enfield Goan Classic 350 (Rs 2.25-2.28 lakh, ex-showroom, Chennai), one of the few other bobber-styled motorcycles currently on sale in India.

What engine does the Honda Rebel 300 use?

The Honda Rebel 300 is powered by a 286cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine producing 30hp and 27.5Nm of torque, paired with a 6-speed gearbox. This is the same engine that powered the CB300R previously sold in our market.

What features does the Honda Rebel 300 have?

Both variants of the Rebel 300 get a circular TFT instrument display with Honda RoadSync connectivity and turn-by-turn navigation, full LED lighting and dual-channel ABS. The E-Clutch variant additionally allows the rider to configure the clutch system via the TFT display.

What is the Honda Rebel 300 E-Clutch and how does it work?

Honda’s E-Clutch is an electronically automated clutch system that uses actuators to operate the clutch automatically, allowing the rider to change gears without using the clutch lever. It does not make the Rebel 300 a fully automatic motorcycle, as the rider still selects gears manually using the gear lever. However, the system handles clutch engagement and disengagement on its own.

Importantly, the clutch lever is retained and can be used manually whenever the rider chooses. The system is designed to reduce rider fatigue in stop-and-go traffic while making the bike more accessible for those who find operating a clutch lever demanding.

What is the seat height and weight of the Honda Rebel 300?

The Honda Rebel 300 has a seat height of 690mm, making it one of the lowest motorcycles currently on sale in our market. This uld make it exceptionally accessible for a wide range of riders. The upright handlebar and forward-set footpegs complement the low t to create a relaxed, unhurried riding position. Kerb weight is 172kg and fuel tank capacity is 11 litres.

KTM 390 Adventure now gets unique colours

KTM 390 Adventure now gets unique colours
KTM 390 Adventure now gets unique colours

KTM has launched a new Arctic Flare colourway for the 349cc 390 Adventure, priced at Rs 2.88 lakh (ex-showroom). The colour was spotted just a day or two ago, and we reported on it at the time. It has now officially been added to the lineup replaces the earlier colour.

  1. New colour priced at Rs 2.88 lakh
  2. 349cc 390 Adventure gets unique colourways and graphics
  3. Only two colours on offer, both priced identically

When the 349cc 390 Adventure was launched, it came with the same body panels as the 399cc 390 Adventure S, while using the 19-inch alloy wheels from the 390 Adventure X. That is no longer the case now, the 349cc 390 Adventure now gets colourways unique to the model, helping distinguish it from the full-fat 399cc 390 Adventure range.

There are only two colours available: Ebony Black and the new Arctic Flare. Both are priced at Rs 2.88 lakh (ex-showroom).

The differentiation extends to the graphics as well. The ‘Adventure’ lettering is in a completely different style on the 349cc bike, giving it a distinct visual identity rather than simply making it look like a smaller-capacity version of the 399cc 390 Adventure.

There are no mechanical changes to the motorcycle. It continues with its 349cc single-cylinder engine and 19-inch front and 17-inch rear alloy wheels.

With the new colourways and graphics, KTM has now given the 349cc 390 Adventure a clearer identity of its own, setting it apart from the 399cc 390 Adventure X, R and S.

Porsche 911 GTS vs MG Cyberster: Quarter mile race

Porsche 911 GTS vs MG Cyberster: Quarter mile race
Porsche-911-vs-MG-Cyberster

There’s no simpler way to compare one car’s performance to another than with a head-to-head quarter-mile race. And in this edition of Autocar India’s quarter-mile racing series, we’ve saved the best for last – Porsche 911 GTS T-hybrid vs MG Cyberster. On one side we have the most definitive and quintessential sports car in the form of the 911, while on the other side, the electric Cyberster represents the cutting-edge future. Let’s find out which one is quicker down the drag strip. 

Porsche 911 GTS vs MG Cyberster: Powertrain and specs 

Model 

Porsche 911 GTS 

MG Cyberster 

Powertrain 3,951cc flat-six petrol + electric motor77kWh battery, dual electric motors
Drive layout All-wheel drive All-wheel drive 
Power 541hp510hp
Torque 610Nm 725Nm 
Gearbox8-speed DCT 1-speed 
Weight 1,645kg 1,985kg 

The 911 and the Cyberster couldn’t be more different on the powertrain front. The Porsche uses a 3.6-litre flat-six turbo-petrol engine that’s coupled to an electric motor for a combined output of 541hp and 610Nm of torque. The MG, meanwhile, is powered by a 77kWh battery pack and two electric motors (one on each axle) for a total output of 510hp and 725Nm of torque. 

The MG is slightly down on power but has considerably higher torque than the Porsche. And while both get all-wheel drive to help with traction, the 911 has a 340kg weight advantage over the Cyberster. 

Porsche 911 GTS vs MG Cyberster: Drag race 

Model 

Porsche 911 GTS 

MG Cyberster 

Round 1

Round 2

11.54 seconds 

In race 1, both the 911 and Cyberster get off the line ferociously, but once the Porsche gets into its stride, it’s hard to catch. With the Cyberster seemingly maxing out at 170kph, the 911 keeps widening the gap till the end.

In race 2, the MG gets off the line better and even manages to pull an early lead. However, the Porsche manages to quickly reel it in and then breezes past it. Both cars improve on their race 1 times, and by the time they reach the finish line, the 911 has set the fastest-ever time at our drag races. The Porsche wins both races by around seven tenths, which is hugely impressive.

But just to put things into perspective, the Porsche costs Rs 2.82 crore, while the MG is priced at Rs 82.49 lakh (ex-showroom) – less than a third of the Porsche. While that’s some serious bang for your buck, the good old combustion power still seems to have the edge in performance.  

Autocar India’s testing standards

Before we conduct our performance tests, we check and maintain tyre pressures based on the manufacturer’s recommendations and ensure the car has a full tank of fuel. The car is then tested in a controlled environment, and the data is collected via highly accurate GPS-based timing equipment.
