      by

      Suzuki Two Wheelers report YoY domestic sales decline in April 2022, exports improvedImage – SouRik MotoworldTwo wheeler sales in April 2022 weren’t phenomenal with results being mixed. There are expectations for 2W sales to improve in the following months backed by seasonal demand, and a spurt of sales related to the wedding season.Add to it the dead as a duck scenario in recent periods owing to Covid-19 lockdown, production stops, and general economic strain. With the market having opened up, and estimates that point to an improvement in the chip / semiconductor shortage situation, things are expected to look up.Suzuki 2W Sales April 2022YoY Suzuki 2W sales for April 2022 is a mixed bag of results. Domestic sales fell, and exports improved. Domestic sales last month were reported at 54,327 units, down from 63,879 units. Volume loss stood at 9,552 units at 14.95 percent decline. Of total sales, domestic sales accounts for three-fourth of total volumes. Exports rose to 17,660 units, up from 13,970 units. Volume growth stood at 3,690 units.

Indian manufacturers have in recent months seen improved performance where exports are concerned. This has helped most boost their overall sales tally in a consistent manner.Semiconductor suppliesSatoshi Uchida, Managing Director, Suzuki Motorcycle India Pvt Ltd. said, “Two-wheeler industry continues to navigate through the challenges thrown by the pandemic and semiconductor shortage. Even with these challenges, Suzuki Motorcycle India has maintained its sales momentum. In April 2022, we clocked an overall sales of 71,987 units and posted Month-on-month increase of approximately 10% over March 2022.Given the fact that this is the month of April, and the acute inconsistency in semiconductor supplies that we have been experiencing, we have started the New Financial Year in a satisfactory manner. We look forward to easing out of the supply limitations so that we can cater to the ever increasing demand for Suzuki Two-Wheelers both from the Domestic and Overseas Markets.”Sales growth expectedSuzuki 2W sales through 2022 have been consistent. Though competing in the market with a much smaller volume than the top 4 names, Suzuki has continually chipped away at the market. This has helped the manufacturer be a top volume name in the market for sellers that report less than a lakh units in sales on a monthly basis. More

They already have Dominar 250 on offer. They also sell 250cc motorcycles under their KTM and Husqvarna brand. But it was under the Pulsar brand that Bajaj managed to register this new sales milestone. Pulsar is a strong brand name which has a great market presence. This makes one wonder, would the sales story for their Dominar 400 brand be different, if it had been launched under the Pulsar name?Mr. Sarang Kanade, President of Motorcycle Business – Bajaj Auto, said, “The all-new Pulsar 250 has been conceptualised with the single-minded purpose of injecting ‘Unadulterated Thrill’ into everyday riding.

This sales milestone underlines our customers’ trust in Pulsar and the increasing demand for sports motorcycles due to high aspirations and changing lifestyles.”Bajaj Pulsar 250 BluePulsar 250 New ColourAt the time of launch, 250cc Pulsars were offered in two colours of Racing Red and Techno Grey. These colours were common to both bikes but were set apart by different graphics and tickers. Now, based on market feedback, Bajaj Auto has introduced a new gloss Blue colour for the Pulsar N250 naked street fighter bike and for its semi faired F250 counterpart.This is not the usual blue colour seen on other bikes such as Pulsar NS200, 220F, Pulsar 150, NS125, Platina 110ES and CT110, but is in a deeper and glossier shade of Blue. The new Gloss Blue colour scheme also covers a larger surface area extending to the front cowl and side fairing. It also makes its way onto the fuel tank, front fender and engine cowl going on to the rear tail section. The rest of the bike is in a contrasting shade of black. Its sporty appeal is further enhanced by decals on the front and sides.Pulsar N250 and F250 – Features, SpecsFeatures continue to include LED headlight and LED tail-lamps along with LED DRLs and LED turn indicators.

      Keeway Cruiser India Launch On 17th May – Royal Enfield Rival

      by

      Keeway will make its debut in India by launching the K-Lite cruiser, it will rival the likes of Royal Enfield, Jawa and YezdiKeeway Cruiser K-LiteHungarian brand Keeway will set its foot in the Indian market for the first time with the launch of K-Lite. The cruiser is set to make its debut in the country on 17 May 2022 as the company has shared a Block-Your-Date invite. Though Keeway has its origins in Hungary, it is now owned by Chinese auto giant Qianjiang Group.The latter also owns Italian motorcycle brand Benelli. In recent times, reports of QJ and Benelli developing a new set of powertrains have surfaced online. It has come to light that QJ has patented several new engines and motorcycles which are reportedly inspired by KTM’s units.Keeway Cruiser India LaunchKeeway is known for manufacturing small cruisers, scooters, naked street bikes and adventure tourers predominantly powered by a 125cc power plant. Designs of its cruisers are inspired by roadsters from Harley Davidson although the ones from the Hungarian brand are much smaller in comparison. The iconic American brand is famous all over the world for its retro-style cruisers and bobbers.Coming back to the invite, it features a small sketch of a bike’s rear section that confirms it is indeed the K-Lite cruiser. However, since it teases a twin-barrel exhaust, reports suggest that this bike will not be featuring a 125cc engine. Instead, it could be powered by a larger 500cc, twin-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine that performs duties on Benelli 502c.Keeway India launch teaser – New CruiserThis engine kicks out 47 bhp and 46 Nm of peak torque in Benelli. In the upcoming cruiser from Keeway, this engine could be tuned slightly differently compared to the one offered in Benelli. There is another possibility that Keeway could use a 374cc, single-cylinder motor that is seen in Benelli Imperiale 400. This motor produces 20.7 bhp and 29Nm of peak torque.DesignGetting into its design, the upcoming Keeway cruiser draws inspiration from the Keeway K-Light series and could come with similar styling, albeit with a larger 500cc parallel-twin engine. It gets a traditional low-slung cruiser stance with a single-piece seat. The motorcycle features a slim fuel tank that ends with a panel on each side followed by a short mudguard.Following Harley’s retro styling, K-Light receives a round headlight and circular turn indicators at both ends. The sketch on the teaser reveals that it gets a flat tail section with split grab rails and a rear tyre hugger. This should go with a flat handlebar and mid-set footpegs that will offer comfortable riding ergonomics.Expected Mode of ArrivalAs of now, it is unclear if the motorcycle will be made in India or assembled in the country via CKD kits. It can also be the case where the entire bike is fully imported under the CBU route since there have been no reports of Keeway setting up any production base in the country. Pricing will be key if Keeway ought to take on segment leader Royal Enfield. More

      Ather Electric Scooter Sales April 2022 – Grows YoY And MoM

      by

      Ather Energy reports manifold growth in April 2022, sells 3,779 units; reports MoM and YoY growthAther Electric ScooterThe electric two-wheeler industry in India has over time seen many new entrants. The marketplace is open to tech-based companies who are focused on changing the face of mobility in the years to come. This is in tandem with overall industry transition targets.India has largely been driven forward on two-wheelers. So, it’s not surprising that the e2W transition is expected to be the highest by the turn of the decade. With serious transition goals by 2030, the switch to e2Ws is expected to be in the region of 80 percent. With two-wheelers completely fuelled by petrol, this transition would change the course of crude oil import.Ather Electric Scooter Sales April 2022Electric two-wheeler manufacturers are seeing positive sales growth in recent months. April 2022 sales support the trend. Ather Energy reported sales at 3,779 units. YoY sales are up from 1,064 units. Volume growth stood at 2,715 units.Unlike last time, where MoM sales declined – this time they too have registered growth. April 2022 Ather MoM sales are up from 2,591 units. Volume growth stood at 1,188 units at 46 percent growth rate. YTD sales stands at 11,237 units, up from 3,697 units sold in Jan – Apr, 2021.Ather Electric Scooter Sales April 2022. 8 April 2021 sales no are an estimate, on the basis of % growth reported by Ather.Ather Energy expansionAther Energy has serious expansion plans. To reach more customers, the company is keen on expanding into new cities, introducing experience centres, and open dealerships. In April 2022 alone, Ather expanded its retail presence having inaugurated three new experience centres– Aurangabad (Maharashtra), Tirur and Malappuram (Kerala). Apart from this, the company is focused on strengthening its charging network.With multiple aspects of e2W industry development being worked upon simultaneously, growth trends have been heartening. But with industry goals being larger than life, growth needs to be faster. And while a range of charts point to operating costs being cheaper, namely the need not to spend on petrol, electric bikes aren’t cheap. In fact, Ather offers its scooters at a starting price of Rs 1.18L.e-scooter sales growthTwo wheeler sales far exceed four wheelers here.
