Tata motors is one of the leading motor vehicle manufacturer in India. Tata Indigo has played a key role in attaining this top position in Indian automobile industry. Tata's Indigo had won the appreciation from customers all over the country.
Looks like the Indigo series never ends. First car in the series was Tata Indigo, then came the Indigo CS series. The Indigo CS was better than its predecessor. The main advantage of Indigo CS was that the length was less than 4 meters so that it became the only seden that gained tax reduction for cars whose length is less than 4 meter.
The new member of the Indigo series is the Tata Indigo E CS which satisfies the Bharat 4 emission standards. The new Indigo CS E is an eco-friendly car with low price. The fuel economy of new Tata Indigo E CS is relatively higher than that of its predecessors. Here is more details about new Tata Indigo E CS.
Design
The CS is the abbreviation for 'Compact Sedan'. e stands for Eco-friendly may be. When the length of Indigo is reduced by reducing dickey space and without reducing interior space, it became Indigo CS E. Compared to other sedans in India, Indigo CS has a fair amount of interior space. Unlike the previous models, the new Indigo CS E has no similarity in appearance with Tata Indica. The grill of old Indigo was replaced with more modern and sophisticated brushed grill with aluminium finish. Body color bumper, the body color rub-rail with chromium lining and the wing mirrors with indicators makes new Tata Indigo E CS a cute car. The new Indigo CS E with off-white color has affluence which surpasses its price. In first look Indigo CS E can be termed as a well designed car.
The interior of Tata Indigo E CS has certain flaws. Tata hasn't made much changes to the dashboard and door trims from that in old Indigo. Only difference made is an elegant color change to the interiors.
The Indigo E CS has well finished fabric seats. They provide enough comfort and support to the customers. The door trim also has fabric inserts. The four power windows can be controlled using the controls in the central console. However, there are seperate controls for the passengers at the back seat.
Driving
New Indigo E CS is an evidence for Tata's skill in Engine refinement and power. The 1396cc engine which powers Indigo E CS provides it with a maximum power of 69Bhp @ 4000rpm and a maximum torque of 140Nm @ 1800-3000rpm. This engine which is almost silent provides a smooth driving experience and reasonable pickup. The turbo is switched on above 1000rpm. At 2500rpm, engine attains its maximum capacity. The clutch and gear transmission are also very smooth. The mileage of Indigo E CS is 23.03km/L
The major flaw of Tata Indigo E CS is its breaking. With a powerful 1396cc engine in it, the lack of ABS is surely a defect.
Price
Price of Diesel model of Indigo E CS is Rs. 4.92-5.15 lakhs and that of Petrol model is Rs. 4.09-4.31 lakhs.

'HOG' in English means pig. But when it comes in the case of bikers all over the world, it means brotherhood. Confused? HOG is the synonym for Harley Davidson Owners Group. The HOG is the world's largest 'Company promoted owners group'. Harley seeks views from this customers group when they plans to manufacture a new bike. New Harley Davidson Fatboy is such a bike which is manufactured by giving significance to the opinions of HOGs. Harley Davidson Fatboy is a model which gave Harley the rank as a Rough and Tough bike. Wanna know more about Fatboy?
Design & Styling
The new Harley Davidson Fatboy is built based on the style of the classic model 'Harley Davidson Hardtail' which was unveiled in 1960s. Harley Davidson's Softtail series includes two members - Fatboy and Heritage Softail Classic. Trail end of Fatboy rememberizes Chopper bikes. The rear shock absorbers are hidden in the guts. It is this feature that distinguishes Softail series from other Harley models.The aluminium alloy rims with bullet holes also is the unique feature of Fatboy. Majority of the parts of Fatboy including head lamp, front fork covers and air-filters on both sides of the engine are in chrome finish. This projects the classic look of the bike.Apart from these features, the large front mud guard give fat boy a tough look. Fatboy has got full-length rider foot-boards as in Tourer bikes. They provide plenty of position for the taste and comfort of the rider. Like the other models, the Fatboy also has a wide convertible two-up seat. The back seat also serves as a back rest to the rider.Another major features of Fatboy are ignition switches and dials which are mounted on the tank. The speedometer is analogue as in cruiser bikes. There is no tachometer included in the Fatboy. A digital odometer is also included in Fatboy.

Technical Specifications
The Harley Davidson Fatboy is powered by the Harley's traditional 1584cc V-twin engine. This power house gives the Fatboy a maximum power of 70Bhp @ 5000rpm and a maximum torque of 120Nm @ 3300rpm. Though the engine power is low when compared to other super-bikes, the higher torque in low rpm provides Fatboy great cruising power. This helps to ride Fatboy smoothly at low speed in top gears. For ensuring efficient performance and mileage sequential fuel injection technology is employed in Fatboy.The 6-Speed Cruise Drive transmission in Fatboy provides smooth shifting and reduces engine speed on the highway, so you get a better match between engine turnover and road speed. The 6th gear of the Cruise Drive gearbox has a longer gear ratio and as a result, the engine rotates at low speeds in top gears. The results are less vibration and efficient mileage. The power from the engine is transferred to the rear tyres using belts instead of chains. This avoids the burden of maintaining the chain.The front indicators are attached to the handle. Unlike in Indian bikes, the switches for indicators are located in the place for the switches for horn and self-start.
Harley Davidson has great concern about the safety of the rider. The 292mm disc brakes at the rear and front will ensure drivers safety at higher speeds. In addition, optional ABS is also available. The 140mm FAT DUNLOP tyre provide a smoother ride and the 200mm rear tyre provides a confident feeling of sure contact with the road, and excellent traction under braking.

Ride & Handling
Anyone who rides Fatboy will definitely have a feeling that he is superhuman. What else should he feeling when a 1600cc is rumbling under him?
As the stroke length is high, new Harley Davidson Fatboy behaves like a diesel engine in the case of power delivery.
The center of gravity which is closer to the road and the wide tyres provide good control to the rider at higher speeds. The working of clutch and gear box are smooth so that accurate gear transmission without false neutrals is possible.
Price
Though the price of Fatboy in US is $15,999 (around 8 lakh) due to higher import duty, the price in India is 18.45lakhs.

Bajaj Discover and Pulsar are the two bikes which helped Bajaj motors to attain a praisable position among Indian two wheeler manufacturers. When Pulsar series made Bajaj motors a famous bike manufacturer from scooter manufacturer, Discover played a key role in making Bajaj motors the 2nd most selling two-wheeler manufacturer whose 3 lakh bikes are sold per month.
New Bajaj Discover is the 5th generation Discover. Bajaj began with Discover 125cc, then came Discover 110cc, then Discover 135cc and the last was Discover 100cc. Bajaj Discover 100cc had a fabulous selling history of 5 lakh bikes in just 225 days.
While the previous models of Discover concentrated on mileage, the new Bajaj Discover 150 is a combination of both power and mileage. Thus new Discover 150 is a perfect combination of 150cc engine's power, Discover 125's mileage and the low price of Discover 100cc. Therefore, new Bajaj Discover 150 will definitely be a threat to 150cc bikes as well as 110cc and 135cc bikes.
Design & Styling
The design of Bajaj Discover 150 is almost same as that of Discover 100cc. The head lamp, tail lamp and related body parts are similar to that of Discover 100cc. But inorder to reduce the price, many features that were present in Discover 135 has been eliminated from new Discover. The major feature added to Discover 150 is unique 240mm disc brake with cover to keep disc free from dirt as in dirt race bikes. Other new features are 100mm rear tyre to maintain control in greater speeds, 150 sticker at the back and special body graphics. All other features of new Discover 150 are same as that of Discover 100cc. Tachometer is not included in the Instrument Panel. Nitrox suspension as in Discover 100cc, LED tail light, alloy wheels, self start etc. are the other features of Discover 150.
Technical Description
Technically speaking, new Discover 150 is based on Bajaj XCD 135. Engine and frame have been adopted from XCD 135. The engine is a more powerful version of 135cc engine in XCD 135. In short, the Cylinder size of XCD 135 has been increased.
The Engine which uses DTS-i and ExhausTEC technologies provides Discover 150 a maximum power of 12.8Bhp @ 7500rpm and a maximum torque of 12.75Nm @ 5500rpm. This torque at comparatively lower rpm of 5500 reduces the frequent gear transmission in city rides.
The Discover 150 has a relatively higher mileage of about 65-70km/L compared to other 150cc bikes.
Ride & Handling
New Bajaj Discover 150 is light in weight compared to other 150cc bikes. The lower weight of 121kg makes it easy to handle as in the case of a 100cc bike.
For the sake of ease to use in cities, Discover 150 has been given short gear ratios. As a result, it has a pick up which challenges even Pulsar 150. The only defect is that top speed is reduced as a result. The top speed is between 100-105km. The shift pattern is all gears downwards.
