This was the first time that Honda two wheeler domestic sales have overtaken that of Hero MotoCorp. Hero MotoCorp cites supply-chain constraints and disruptions in its logistics, both of which have severely impacted dispatches during the past month.

It accounted for 2,11,400 unit sales last month, down from 2,38,267 units sold in July 2023. The Hero Splendor also continued to be the best-selling motorcycle last month, ahead of the Honda Shine by a hefty margin.

      Ather Sales Breakup July 2024 – Rizta Beats 450x, 450s, 450 Apex

      by

      New Ather Rizta Electric ScooterAther Energy was the 4th best-selling electric two wheeler maker in July 2024 – After Ola, TVS and Bajaj
      Following our earlier report on electric two wheeler sales in July 2024, we now talk exclusively about Ather Energy. Sales of Ather topped at 11,088 units in the past month showing off a 37.53% YoY and 39.59% MoM growth. The new Rizta, launched in April 2024 significantly contributed to sales.
      Ather Sales Breakup July 2024
      Ather Energy sales which improved by 37.53% YoY to 11,088 was well over 8,062 units sold in July 2023. This related to a 3,026 unit volume growth. It was also a significant growth of 39.59% over 7,943 units sold in June 2024 with a 3,145 unit volume improvement.
      Ather Scooter Sales July 2024
      Ather Rizta, the family scooter, launched in April 2024, featured at the top of company sales charts in July 2024. Sales stood at 6,765 units last month to command a 61.01% share on this list. Its MoM sales improved by an astounding 396.33% over 1,363 units sold in June 2024 when it had commanded a share of just 17.16%.
      At No. 2 was the Ather 450X. Sales dipped by 63.74% YoY to 2,923 units in July 2024 from 8,062 units sold in July 2023. The Ather 450X currently holds a 26.36% share, down from 52.74% share held in June 2024 when sales had stood at 4,189 units. However, it was also a MoM decline in sales by 30.22%.
      Ather Scooter Sales July 2024
      Next on the list was the Ather 450S of which the company sold 1,159 units in the past month. The 450S commands a 10.45% share, significantly lower than a 26.65% share held in June 2024 when sales had stood at 2,117 units. This was a volume decrease by 958 units.
      Ather 450 Apex is also a relatively new entrant to the company list, launched in January 2024 and opened for test rides in February. It accounted for sales of 241 units in July 2024. This related to a 12.04% MoM decline over 274 units sold in June 2024.
      Rizta’s Gain Is 450’s Loss
      From the Ather sales report, it can be seen that the launch of Rizta made each of the other models take a back step. This is likely because of the higher demand for Rizta as it is a new scooter. Ather has limited production capacity in which they have to manage as per demand. Ather Rizta, presented in three variants, is regaled for several segment first features with the largest seat in its segment, 56 liters of storage space and state of the art safety equipment.
      To boost after-sales, Ather Energy is getting ready to launch special service packs. These will address customer’s despair over higher after sales costs and will be offered across the company range that includes the Rizta, 450S, 450X and 450 Apex. More

      Kijima Modified Suzuki V-Strom SX 250 Improves Touring Capability

      by

      Kijima Modified Suzuki V-Strom SX 250In India, Suzuki V-Strom SX 250 is offered in a single variant and three colour options, rivalling Hero Xpulse 200, KTM 250 Adventure
      Because Suzuki V-Strom SX is not a true blue off-roader, it tilts more towards touring side. Japanese aftermarket motorcycle parts provider Kijima has come up with a unique concept to increase Suzuki V-Strom SX 250’s touring appeal. This setup is more geared towards accessories and not a complete makeover. Let’s take a look.
      Kijima Modified Suzuki V-Strom SX
      Suzuki V-Strom SX 250 is based entirely on the Gixxer 250. It not only shares the same platform with the latter but also borrows several features and also its engine specifications. Ideally suited for both city and highway riding, the SX 250 sees its overall wheelbase extended by 100mm, taking it up to 1,440mm.
      Kijima Modified Suzuki V-Strom SX 250
      This is for better stability as compared to the Gixxer. It boasts a taller split seat with a beak inspired by the Suzuki DR-Z Racer. The handlebar is new while foot-pegs have been moved slightly forward for a more upright riding stance. There is a bikini fairing and a tall windscreen for wind protection. These are the attributes that make V-Strom SX a capable tourer.
      Standard bike from the company misses out on dedicated touring-worthy features and that’s where Kijima comes into action. For starters, there is an LED fog light kit with both white light and yellow light support. This aids in safety and visibility as yellow lights still work best in rainy situations and wet roads. Fancy aluminium and carbon composite ORVMs look nice and offer rear visibility.
      Modified Suzuki V-Strom SX 250 – LED Fog Light Kit
      Behind the custom smoked K3 windscreen, there is a 5-inch smart touch display installed on mount bar stay which is powered by the bike’s electricals. There are two K3 tactical side bags (13L each with rain covers) with bag supports along with a 30L top box attached to a dedicated box base. There is a custom engine guard too, protecting the heart of the motorcycle in unfavourable events.
      Specs of stock motorcycle
      Other than that, we don’t see any other changes, staying true to the stock motorcycle, just like Suzuki had visualised. Other notable elements of Suzuki V-Strom SX 250 are 12 liter capacity, LED tail lamp and double barrel exhaust, 19 inch front wheel wrapped with 100/90 tyre and 17 inch rear wheel wrapped with 140/70 tyre, a ground clearance of 205mm and kerb weight of 167 kg. Overall dimensions stand at 2,180 mm length, 880mm width, 1,355mm height and a wheelbase of 1,440mm.
      Modified Suzuki V-Strom SX 250
      There is also a fully digital instrument cluster with Bluetooth connectivity and all rider aids such as call and message alerts along with turn-by-turn navigation, missed call alert and caller ID, last parked location, speed exceed warning, etc. There is also a USB charging port and a rear luggage rack as part of standard package
      Modified Suzuki V-Strom SX 250
      Suzuki V-Strom SX 250 also shares its engine with the Gixxer. This includes a 249cc oil-cooled engine that offers 26 bhp of peak power and 22 Nm of peak torque, mated to a 6-speed gearbox. The bike gets dual-channel ABS and suspension that includes telescopic front forks and a rear mono-shock. Braking is via single discs on both ends. The engine allows the Suzuki SX 250 to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 9.6 seconds to hit a top speed of 150 km/h with mileage at 36 km/l.
