| Tata Altroz XZ Diesel | Triumph Street Triple R | |
| Engine | 1.5-litre turbocharged Revotorq (Diesel) | 765cc DOHC Petrol |
| Power | 90ps@4,000rpm | 118ps@12,000rpm |

The diesel engine at the Altroz produces more torque than the petrol engine at the Street Triple R. But when it comes to power, Triumph triumphs over the Altroz. Now that is a totally absurd comparison to make as there is a huge difference between the power-to-weight ratio. I hereby declare the powertrain comparison, ABSURD! But do note that Tata Altroz offers better fuel mileage.

The Triumph Street Triple R is a bike made for tracks as well as the roads. The lightweight with impressive power figures is mesmerising. But when it comes to usability, Tata Altroz makes more sense.
