The perfect platform to grab attention and engage with prospective customers, the 2016 Auto Expo will see over 100 exhibitors displaying some very interesting products. However, our eyes at MotorBeam are keen on some highly awaited launches that will be redefining products for their respective manufacturers.
TVS Apache 200
The newest offering from TVS has been long in the offing and could finally break cover at the 2016 Auto Expo.
The model will be pushing the envelope for the automaker in the affordable performance space and it is believed that the performance levels will be in the vicinity of the KTM Duke 200.

The first product to be developed under the TVS-BMW collaboration, the G310R will have our eyes glued to the model that promises German engineering and Indian manufacturing with power coming from a new 313cc single-cylinder engine churning out 34 BHP.
Hero HX250R
Expected to be Hero's newest flagship, the HX250R paid the price for EBR's bankruptcy pushing the production model's launch date into uncertainty. Nevertheless, the product is still in the pipeline and the production-spec version could be showcased at the 2016 Auto Expo.
