The BMW F 850 GS is the newest middleweight adventure bike in the market. Does it have what it takes to unseat the very popular Triumph Tiger 800? We ride both bikes on the highway, and on some off-road trails to see which one is better overall.

Kingshuk Dutta | Mar 28, 2019Royal Enfield Bullet Trials Works Replica 500 First Ride ReviewRoyal Enfield has had a great legacy in Trials competitions in the 1940s and the '50s.

car&bike Team | Mar 24, 2019Nippon Express Paint Repair Service ReviewNippon Express is a velocity repair concept which is a 20 step process. It starts with washing the car thoroughly, using the de-greaser to remove dirt, oil, grease and other substances. Then, the car or the panel that needs to be re-painted is sanded after which the body filler is applied. Once that happens, the car is completely masked for curing the body filler and then the scratched area is sanded down again. The sanded part is then cleaned using a de-greaser again before the car is made ready for primer application. To be specific, the body filler and primer solution that Nippon uses are the components that get the job done quickly. In conjunction with the sand, they settle down within 25 minutes whereas normal primer coats may take over 90 minutes to settle under normal temperatures.1 min
Siddharth Vinayak Patankar | Mar 20, 2019BMW X7 Review: Driven In The Heartland Of Its 'Home' MarketBMW's new flagship SUV is the first-ever X7. The model finally gives BMW its much-needed standard three-row car, offering new levels of luxury, space and comfort that was so far only seen on BMW's sedan portfolio only until now. We test the new model in the United States - which without a doubt is the number one target market for the BMW X7. We have driven the xDrive40i - which is confirmed as one of two variants we can expect in India.1 min

Cyrus Dhabhar | Jul 4, 2018Volvo XC40 vs BMW X1 vs Mercedes-Benz GLA vs Audi Q3: Mega Compact Luxury SUV Comparison ReviewThe Audi Q3 and the Mercedes-Benz GLA are both due for a replacement very soon as they are both quite deep into their life cycle. The Q3 in particular is getting quite irrelevant in this segment as it just doesn't have the firepower to take on the rivals and honestly, with its crossover-esque design, the once benchmark Mercedes-Benz GLA falls short too. So it's a two horse race, the BMW or the Volvo. If you want a driver's car, you need to read no further - just buy the BMW X1. But as an overall package for the individual who likes driving, being driven and more importantly being pampered in a real level of luxury and not just luxury because of a badge, the Volvo XC40 is the new benchmark in this segment and our choice in this entry level compact SUV segment.1 min
Siddharth Vinayak Patankar | Dec 20, 2018Second Generation BMW X4 ReviewThe X4 was conceived as a baby X6, and more like an afterthought when it first came in 2014 - almost as a variant to the then 2nd generation X3 - a car that was already at its midlife point then. And it sold over 200,000 units worldwide.1 min

Preetam Bora | May 6, 2016Ducati Scrambler ReviewThe new Ducati Scrambler is a neo retro motorcycle in the truest sense - and its design is something which Ducati says is "post heritage" - a contemporary take of the iconic Scrambler built back in the 1970s.
