Mumbai, January 31: The Indian two-wheeler landscape is bracing for a significant transformation in February 2026, as several high-profile motorcycles from global and domestic giants prepare for their market debut. Following the recent unveiling of the Honda Shine 125 Limited Edition, the momentum is shifting toward the middleweight and premium commuter segments.

Major players like TVS and Bajaj are also expected to refresh their most popular lineups to comply with the latest BS6 Phase 2B norms while adding sophisticated technological features. Industry experts suggest that these launches will play a crucial role in defining market shares for the first half of the year, with a clear focus on balancing performance with competitive pricing. Norton Atlas GT Adventure Motorcycle Spotted Testing in India for 1st Time; Check Expected Launch Date, Price and Specifications.

  • 2026 Bajaj Pulsar: Bajaj is set to update the Pulsar lineup with a new 2026 edition, likely focusing on the 125cc to 150cc range. Expected to start at a competitive INR 95,000, the new variant will feature refreshed graphics and enhanced LED lighting.

Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 (New Variant): A new, more off-road-focused iteration of the Himalayan 450 is expected to arrive this month. Pricing is estimated to sit between INR 3,06,000 and INR 3,37,000, potentially introducing tubeless spoke wheels as standard.

2026 Hero Mavrick 440: Hero is expected to roll out an updated version of the Mavrick 440, possibly a Scrambler variant. It will retain the 440cc oil-cooled engine with prices expected to hover around INR 2,30,000.

Middleweight Cruiser and ADV Segment Trends

The core trend for February 2026 is the "democratisation of twin-cylinders," as Royal Enfield moves its 650cc platform into more traditional segments. This move is designed to offer a more powerful upgrade path for millions of existing 350cc owners. Simultaneously, the adventure segment is seeing the arrival of boutique European brands like Brixton and FB Mondial, which are betting on Indian riders' increasing appetite for exclusive, high-performance machines. KTM 390 Adventure R To Be Launched in India Soon; Check Price, Features and Specifications of Upcoming Off-Road Focused Motorcycle.

For the budget-conscious commuter, the updates to the Bajaj Pulsar and Honda Shine series show that manufacturers are not ignoring the volume-heavy 125cc-150cc space. These bikes are increasingly adopting "big bike" features like digital instrument clusters with Bluetooth connectivity and single-channel ABS. As the cost of manufacturing stabilises, these February launches are expected to offer better value-for-money propositions than the models they replace.
