The Kawasaki Versys-X 300 is a 300cc adventure-tourer based on the Ninja 300. The Versys-X 300 gets the same 296cc parallel-twin, liquid-cooled, DOHC, 8-valve engine that powers the mini Ninja and produces similar power and torque figures with 39 PS at 11,500 RPM and 26 NM at 10,000 RPM.

The Himalayan 450 is Royal Enfield’s second-generation Himalayan launched in 2024 on an entirely new platform. The bike is powered by a brand new 452cc liquid-cooled, DOHC, 4-valve, short-stroke engine (84mm bore x 81.5mm stroke), producing 40 PS of power at 8,000 RPM and 40 NM of torque at 5,500 RPM.

The Scrambler 400 X and the Scrambler 400 XC are more or less same motorcycles with few visible differences - the X comes with alloy wheels (17-inch rear, 19-inch front) while the XC has tubeless spoked wheels with same specifications. The X has a naked front while the XC has a small windshield in solid finish (non-transparent). Other than these, both motorcycles have their dedicated colours and graphics as well.
