Hero MotoCorp continued its dominance with the Xpulse 200 leading the chart. Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 held a solid second spot, while Suzuki V-Strom SX recorded a big jump in its numbers.
| Model | Oct 2025 Sales | Oct 2024 Sales | YoY Growth |

| Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 | 2,561 | 2,199 | 16% |
| Suzuki V-Strom SX | 903 | 536 | 68% |
Hero Xpulse 200: The Sales Champion
Hero Xpulse 200 continues to be India’s best-selling adventure motorcycle thanks to its strong value proposition. The bike posted an impressive 112 percent YoY growth in October 2025. It is available in 4V, 4V Pro and 4V Pro Dakar Edition variants priced between Rs 1.40 lakh – 1.55 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). Features like LED projector headlamp, 3 ABS modes and rally-ready ergonomics make it highly popular among budget adventure riders.
Royal Enfield Himalayan 450: Strong but Price Sensitive
Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 secured the second spot with 2,561 units sold in October 2025. Despite a solid YoY gain of 16 percent, its MoM numbers fell due to the increase in GST on motorcycles above 350cc. Priced from Rs 3.06 lakh to Rs 3.20 lakh (ex-showroom), it remains the most capable middleweight ADV for long-distance touring.
Suzuki V-Strom SX: Fastest Rising ADV
Suzuki’s V-Strom SX saw a strong comeback with 903 units sold in October 2025. The YoY growth stood at 68 percent while MoM growth was even higher. With a price tag of Rs 1.98 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi), it attracts first-time ADV buyers with lightweight convenience and practical touring features.
What’s Driving These Sales Trends?
In 2025, revised GST rates made larger ADVs costlier, pushing more buyers towards the 200-300cc segment. Affordable pricing, growing interest in road trips, and better equipment have made entry-level adventure bikes the preferred choice in India.
Conclusion: What’s Next for ADV Buyers?
The adventure motorcycle market in India is set to grow even further with upcoming models like the TVS Apache RTX 300 joining the competition. With more capable options entering the market soon, buyers can expect an exciting future in the ADV segment.
