Although scooters slowly taking major share of the 2W market, bikes are still not a forgotten trend and here are the top 10 bikes sold in February 2024
Even though it sold lesser compared to last year, the Hero Splendor retained its position as the best-selling motorcycle in February 2024 with a total of 2,77,939 units sold. One of the most unexpected leaps higher up the charts is the Honda Shine which is in the 2nd position by selling 1,42,763 units which is an unbelievable 301.09% increase compared to February 2023. We believe this is probably because of the introduction of a more affordable Shine 100.
Unaffected by any change and yet witnessing an appreciable 40.49% year-on-year(YoY) in the third place is Bajaj Pulsar which managed to sell 1,12,544 units. One more product from Hero, the HF Deluxe, makes its way to the fourth position by selling 76,138 units which was a 35.26% increase compared to last year. It is still one of the most affordable and robust motorcycle available in the market which helps it to attain healthy sales numbers.
We get our first TVS product in at fifth place with the TVS Raider and it sold 42,063 units in February 2024. It had a commendable 38.61% year-on-year increase courtesy of its sleek design, advanced features, and sporty characteristics for a 125cc motorcycle. The Raider has replaced the Apache as the highest selling TVS motorcycle.
