Top 5 Best Selling Bikes In January 2025

The Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM) has released the two-wheelers sales numbers for January 2025, and here are the top 5 best selling bikes in India:

Hero Splendor

The Hero Splendor continues to be the best selling bike in the country. Its sales rose by a whopping 29.5% when compared to December 2024 and 1.6% when compared to January 2024. The Hero Splendor has always been India’s favourite two-wheeler. It offers a perfect blend of mileage, reliability and likeable styling. The Splendor never got a comprehensive design change but that’s not necessarily a bad thing as customers prefer the familiarity of the Splendor’s design. That said, Hero has been updating it with features to keep it modern.

Honda Shine

The Honda Shine stands second in the best selling bike list. It saw a brilliant 48.9% gain in sales when compared to December 2024.  And there was a 20.9% gain in sales in January 2025 than in January 2024.  The Shine has consistently been the best selling 125cc bike in India. It has been praised for its refined performance,  reliability, and mileage.  Recently, Honda updated the Shine with OBD-2B compliance along with a few new features. This should help it gain an even larger market share.

Hero HF Deluxe

The Hero HF Deluxe scored the third spot on the top selling bike list. At 39.5%, its sales rose quite significantly in January 2025 when compared to December 2024. But the current sales figures are down by almost 23.5% when compared to January 2024. The HF Deluxe uses the same engine as the Hero Splendor, but gets different styling along with slightly different proportions when compared to the Splendor. More importantly, the HF Deluxe range also includes the Hero HF100, which is the cheapest Hero bike in India.

Bajaj Pulsar 125

The Bajaj Pulsar 125 range includes the Pulsar 125, NS 125 and the N 125. It was able to score a respectable fourth place in the top selling bike list. However its sales dropped by about 17% in January 2025 when compared to December 2024. But when compared, the sales figures in January 2025 were 36.5% more than in January 2024. The Bajaj Pulsar 125 series is the most affordable way to get into the Pulsar family.

Despite having multiple bikes catering to different audiences in the same segment, the sales number is still just a fraction of Honda Shine’s figures.

TVS Apache Series

The TVS Apache RTR series includes the RTR 160 2V, 160 4V, 180 2V and the RTR 200 4V. The sales saw a rise of a commendable 49.2% in January 2025 when compared to December 2024 and a 10% gain was seen when compared to January 2024. The TVS Apache RTR series provide the customers with a variety of sharp-looking, feature-packed sporty commuter bikes within the 160cc, 180cc and 200cc category. In fact, the RTR 200 4V gets segment-first features such as adjustable suspension and even riding modes.
