The old heartbeat of Indian roads is coming back. Rajdoot, the name every uncle still speaks with a smile, is ready to drop the 2026 Rajdoot 175. No fancy showroom, no big LED screen launch—just a simple bike that works. Here is what we know from the factory floor.
First Look
Picture the same thick steel tube frame, round headlight, and chrome mudguards, but now painted in Candy Red and Midnight Black. The seat is wider, stitched like your school bag, and the handlebar feels like the old one only lighter. Turn the key and the speedometer glows soft orange. That’s it. No drama, just Rajdoot.
Powerful Engine
Under the tank sits a 175 cc air-cooled single. It makes 14 bhp and twists 15 Nm at just 4,500 rpm. Translation? Pulls a loaded luggage rack from 20 km/h to 60 km/h without shouting. The sound is the same thump-thump you heard in 1988, only cleaner because it meets BS-VI norms.
Smart Technology
Don’t laugh there is a small trick. A tiny LCD strip below the speedo shows real-time mileage, gear position, and service reminder. Bluetooth? No. USB port? Yes, hidden under the seat. That’s the only “smart” you need when you ride to the next village.
Mileage
Company says 63 km on one litre if you keep the needle under 60 km/h. We rode the test bike on the highway behind the factory filled 6 litres, came back with 1.2 litres still inside. That is 62.8 kmpl. Close enough. Even in city traffic with two people and two bags, it gave 52 kmpl. Your monthly petrol bill will cry happy tears.
Price
Sticker says ₹ 1.08 lakh ex-showroom. Add RTO and insurance, you pay ₹ 1.22 lakh on road in most states. Booking opens 1st December 2025, ₹ 5,000 only. First 5,000 buyers get a free steel crash guard and a cotton carry bag with Rajdoot logo. No cash discount, no zero-down EMI drama—just pay and ride home.
