Top 5 most powerful single cylinder bikes in India

Think of a single-cylinder motorcycle and the first things that will come to mind is a simple, hardy and barebones commuter or a relaxed, old-school retro. However, that stereotype is all but true for these motorcycles we have listed out today. Here are five of the most powerful single-cylinder machines on sale in India.

5 Triumph Thruxton 400 - 42hp

Rs 2.76 lakh

Even the least powerful motorcycle on this list makes a fairly healthy 42hp and the Thruxton 400 is the only single-cylinder Triumph bike in India to benefit from the sprightlier engine tune.

4 Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z - 43hp

Rs 1.94 lakh

A little over a year after it was launched, Bajaj updated the Pulsar NS400Z with better brakes and tyres - something it deserved with the performance on tap - while also sprinkling in a little more power. Now rated at 43hp, the Pulsar NS400Z not only gives you more power but the new ‘Sport’ riding mode also has more aggressive mapping for a livelier riding experience.

3 BSA Gold Star 650 - 45hp

Rs 3.10 lakh - Rs 3.45 lakh

Among all the high strung single-cylinder engines on this list, the Gold Star’s Rotax-sourced 652cc thumper is an outlier and prioritizes mid-range shove over outright grunt. The result is a modern torque-rich riding experience like big British singles of yesteryear without any of the ‘period-correct’ mechanical flaws.

2 KTM 390 Duke - 46hp

Rs 2.99 lakh

The Indian performance bike scene changed forever in 2013 with the arrival of the KTM 390 Duke which brought explosive performance along with a digestible price tag. All these years later, the 390 Duke retains its penchant for hooliganism while packing in more power than ever and if you’re looking to go fast on a tight budget, it still remains a fantastic option.

If you have more adventurous aspirations or want something a little more classy and understated, the 390 Adventure models and Husqvarna Svartpilen 401 - which share the 46hp 399cc LC4C engine with the Duke - are the way to go, respectively.

1 Ducati Hypermotard 698 Mono - 77.5hp

Rs 17.63 lakh - Rs 18.70 lakh

The final motorcycle on this list is one that you’ll definitely need a big budget for but with a big 659cc, 1299 Panigale-derived, single-cylinder engine, the Hypermotard Mono has a riding experience unlike anything else in India. Its angry, powerful engine is nestled inside a chassis that can shrug our broken roads off with ease making it for a potent street bike - provided you can afford one. Fun fact, even the V-Twin engined Hypermotard 950 RVE - a much faster bike and also an expensive purchase in its own right - is also more affordable compared to the Mono!

Auto Expo 2023: 9 new Tata Motors car, SUV launches by 2025

Tata Motors had a blockbuster showing at Auto Expo 2023, with several models on display in various states of production readiness. However, while Tata’s announcement was quite scant on details, we’ve received a bit more information from company sources, specifically around when these cars will be launched. The products are an even mix of EV and ICE products, but while the latter includes petrol and CNG models, there has been no word on further diesel development, which means the present 1.5-litre engine in the Nexon , and the Fiat-sourced 2.0 in the Harrier and Safari , will soldier on for some time. New Tata Sierra launch in 2025 with new 1.5 petrol engine Undoubtedly the biggest star at the Tata Motors stall, the second iteration of the Sierra EV concept has inched ever closer to production-ready guise. Now with four doors and an interior with conventional controls and switchgear, it’s clear this model is in its final stages of development. However, while the concept is an EV b...
