In the Indian market, major manufacturers continue their push into premium segments. Bajaj has been spotted road-testing what will be its new sub-brand's first adventure bike, while a next-generation "Pulsar Classic" is expected to launch as early as next month. Hero is also rumored to be readying the Karizma XMR 250, intensifying competition in the growing upper segment.

Bajaj's first adventure bike, and under a brand new sub-brand at that — I'm dying to know what's under the hood. Which engine will it use, what geometry will it come with? I love staring a hole through the spy shots of the test mule and guessing at every detail. Can't wait for more news.

The fiercer the competition between Indian manufacturers gets, the more hope there is for prices staying restrained.

Competition in this price bracket looks set to be a key driver of unit growth in the Indian market going forward.

Is the Karizma XMR 250 actually Hero's counter to this? Never heard of it before.

Right, that's the model that's been named as Hero's planned entry into the upper class.

Bajaj's first ever ADV really shows how the times are changing, given they've always been street-bike focused.

With the Pulsar Classic expected next month, it must already be in the finishing stages.

Just being caught during a public-road test, the official announcement is probably still a ways off.

Still, if it's already at the stage of a public-road test mule being spotted, an announcement probably isn't too far off.

With both Bajaj and Hero pushing into this class, the fight for India's upper-tier models is heating up.
