The Royal Enfield Himlayan is all-new for 2024 featuring Royal Enfield's most advanced engine sitting in a brand-new chassis, with updated suspension, tyres and... everything, really. Kartikeya rode the motorcycle and is helping Shumi catch up on MotorInc First.

The TVS X is TVS' expensive new electric flagship product – bookings are open but the X is not on sale yet. Shumi got a chance to ride a near-final TVS X electric scooter briefly. On MotorInc First, he's explains to Kartikeya Singhee what's new and what's what.

The Triumph Scramber 400X shares the same platform as the Speed 400 and it uses more suspension, a 19" front wheel, a larger size and other changes to present a more off-road friendly option that's also priced higher. But after Shumi rode it, he returned vastly more impressed than he was with the Triumph Speed 400. Can't for the Royal Enfield Himalayan to join this party!

The Tata Safari and the Tata Harrier just got a full refresh and Kartikeya gives Shumi a catchup on all the changes. From the updates under the hood, to the new skin, to what's changed on the inside and all the variants... but not all the pricing, strangely enough.

The Royal Enfield Bullet 350, now with the J-series engine means the old UCE-engine Bullet is now officially history. On your request, Shumi took one for a spin around Mumbai and on MotorInc First, Kartikeya and Shumi are discussing the fourth motorcycle from the J-Series platform, a bike that's remarkably close in feel, hardware and pricing to the Classic 350... Is that similarity a bad thing? Tell us in the comments!

The Tata Nexon EV receives a comprehensive update that improves range, driving experience and more wrapped in the slick new design. Kartikeya and Shumi are discussing what makes the new Nexon EV tick. This is part 2 of our MotorInc First episodes on the Nexon.

The Tata Nexon has been updated. Enough for us to think about it as a full-on mid-life refresh but not enough to think it's a brand-new SUV. The updated styling will wow people and Tata's updated the car in many significant ways. Kartikeya breaks down the petrol and diesel Nexon on MotorInc First, while Shumi fumes about the Nexon's new 'personas'. This is part 1, we're discussing the Tata Nexon EV in the next episode of MotorInc First.

The KTM 390 Duke arrived in 2013 and it changed how we see performance motorcycles, blending outrageous performance with a stunning price. In the intervening ten years, the 390 has become more expensive. The 2024 is a proper generation change that raises the bar on so many levels, adds so much equipment and keeps prices in check (so far). Shumi and Kartikeya both rode the bike for this MotorInc First.

The River Indie is one of the least normal looking electric scooters we've seen yet. No doubt about it. It also happens to approach the scooter challenge from a completely new angle. Which sounds like marketing until you ride it and realise that they're dead serious. The River Indie is an electric scooter that neither wants to wow you with pace, nor impress you with design. It just wants to get to work. Shumi and Kartikeya are discussing this new rival to Ola S1, TVS iQube and Ather 450X in detail on MotorInc First

Honda returns to the SUV game with the Elevate SUV. Honda's pulled out all the stops, we're told, for the Elevate. The new Honda SUV is a logical car, not a very emotionally appealing one. But there's good pricing and some really great things about the Elevate. On MotorInc First, Kartikeya and Shumi break down the new Honda SUV.
