As ever, the undisputed sales topper in the India bike industry has been the Hero Splendor.

It’s at a 3.85% growth as more than 7,000 examples were sold in February 2016 against the same time 12 months ago.

Following the footsteps of the Splendor is the HF Deluxe which crossed over one lakh units of sale and ended last month at 1,06,572 units which is a massive 38.91% growth when compared to the corresponding month last year.
