Hero and Triumph Showcase Retro Motorcycles Challenging Royal Enfield Classic 350
At EICMA 2026, Hero MotoCorp unveiled a retro motorcycle concept hinting at entry into the classic roadster segment dominated by Royal Enfield, featuring vintage styling with modern touches but no confirmed production details. Meanwhile, Triumph introduced the Bonneville T40, a 350cc single-cylinder bike launching soon in India, offering classic design, modern features like riding modes and connectivity, and competitive pricing due to tax advantages. Both aim to challenge Royal Enfield's Classic 350 in the Indian market.
