his adjustment impacts popular models like the 450 series and family-oriented Rizta, driven by escalating input costs, adverse foreign exchange fluctuations, and global supply chain disruptions.

Triumph Motorcycles

Triumph Speed 400

Triumph Motorcycles plans to hike the ex-showroom prices across its bike lineup from January 1, 2026. 

The increase comes from a new, higher GST rate on motorcycles over 350cc, part of the updated GST 2.0 rules. Triumph must now add this cost to prices.

KTM

KTM EICMA

KTM 390 Duke has received a notable price hike of Rs 40,000, pushing its cost to Rs 3.39 lakh (ex-showroom). Earlier, Bajaj Auto had absorbed the higher 40 percent GST on bikes above 350cc, keeping prices steady while rivals increased theirs. That support has now been withdrawn, leading to this revision. 

The 390 Duke now sits Rs 1.22 lakh above the 250 Duke. Meanwhile, KTM is developing sub-350cc models to benefit from lower taxes, and similar price hikes for other 390 models are expected soon.
