Moto Morini Rumble Unveiled!

That’s right! The Italian brand, Moto Morini, has unveiled a new motorcycle, the Rumble, which could be a potential Royal Enfield rival. Technically, the Rumble may not directly rival the Classic 350 as the new bike is a twin-cylinder motorcycle. However, if priced aggressively, it can take on the likes of the Goan Classic 350, the Harley Davidson X440, and the Jawa Perak. However, if the prices are higher, it will compete with the Kawasaki Eliminator, RE Classic 650, and a few others. With a retro bobber design, the Moto Morini Rumble looks like quite an attractive package.

From the images, the Rumble looks like a well-built motorcycle with a tear-drop shaped tank, a sculpted single-piece seat and a low-rider stance. The highlight of the design is its 16-inch wheels sporting a 130-section front tyre and 150-section rear. It gets a flat-wide handlebar, a short windscreen, LED headlight and taillight, and much more. Up front, you get a USD fork and double shock absorbers at the rear. One of the key highlights is that the bike gets a massive 16-litre fuel tank, which will help with better range. As of now, the only safety feature the brand has revealed is a dual-channel ABS. Adding to the retro charm is a round TFT display, along with good-quality switch gear. But the show-stopper on this bike is the engine. So let’s take a look at the details!

The brand has not yet announced whether the bike will make its way into the Indian market. However, if it does, it will be interesting to see how Moto Morini prices the bike.
