      Xtreme 125 overtakes Raider
      Hero Xtreme 125R made a notable impact by selling 25,840 units in July 2024. Despite being a newcomer, Xtreme 125R quickly captured a 3.77% share of the market, highlighting its potential to become a strong player in the segment. TVS Raider recorded a steep decline of 33.48% in sales, dropping to 24,547 units in July 2024 from 36,900 units in July 2023. This decrease reduced Raider’s market share to 3.59%, indicating a challenging market environment for the model.

Royal Enfield Classic 350 also faced a 14.13% decline, selling 21,373 units in July 2024, down by 3,516 units from 24,889 units in July 2023. Classic 350’s market share stood at 3.12%, reflecting its challenges in maintaining its sales momentum.
      The top 10 motorcycles in India demonstrated overall positive growth in July 2024, with total sales rising by 6.37% YoY. While Hero Splendor continued to dominate the market, models like Honda Shine and TVS Apache showed significant growth, contributing to the overall increase in sales. However, several models, including Hero HF Deluxe, Honda Unicorn, and TVS Raider, faced notable declines. As the market continues to evolve, the competition among these top models remains fierce, with new entrants like Hero Xtreme 125R making a strong impact. More

      by

      New Bajaj Pulsar 400 – Vaibhav MotorworldBajaj 400cc Family Sees Explosive Growth in July 2024, Led by New Pulsar 400 and Triumph 400
      To take on the dominance of Royal Enfield in the 350cc+ segment, Bajaj has launched multiple new brands of motorcycles over the years. Though they are nowhere closer to RE in terms of sales, they are reporting growth in sales of the 400cc segment. In July 2024, the Bajaj 400cc motorcycle segment witnessed remarkable growth in July 2024, with total sales reaching 7,649 units, a staggering 246.74% increase compared to July 2023’s 2,206 units. This significant rise was primarily driven by the introduction and strong performance of the new Bajaj Pulsar 400.
      Bajaj 400cc Sales July 2024 – Pulsar 400 Leads the Segment
      Bajaj Pulsar 400 emerged as the top performer within the 400cc family, recording 3,340 units sold in July 2024. This model, newly introduced, now accounts for 43.67% of the total sales in this segment, establishing itself as a major player in the market.

      KTM 390 and Bajaj Dominar 400 Face Declines
      While the new entrants surged, the KTM 390 experienced a significant decline in sales, dropping by 47.15% year-on-year. The KTM 390 sold 593 units in July 2024, down by 529 units from 1,122 units in July 2023. Despite this, KTM 390 still holds a 7.75% share of the Bajaj 400cc segment.

      New TVS Jupiter First Ride Review – Aim For The Throne!

      by

      New TVS JupiterWith Honda Activa, Hero Destini and Suzuki Access as the main rivals, New TVS Jupiter 110 comes with a radical new design and more features
      TVS Motor has been one of the leading scooter manufacturers in India for a very long time. The company has been selling the Jupiter to masses and has had great success. However, the success quotient can always be taken a notch above and that’s exactly what TVS is doing with its best-seller, Jupiter.
      In August 2024, we get a new Jupiter 110 which will replace the outgoing model. This update was quite a surprise, considering Jupiter sales were booming as ever. TVS has updated its golden goose nonetheless and we got to sample it at the company’s premises in Hosur, Tamil Nadu. Here’s what we think about the New TVS Jupiter.
      2024 TVS Jupiter
      New TVS Jupiter First Ride Review – What’s New?
      When the first official teaser broke covers, I was expecting TVS to launch an updated Apache RR 310 with the same attributes that Apache RTR 310 got. An update to Jupiter scooter was surprising, considering Jupiter is second best-selling scooter in India and has been holding that position for a very long time.
      But TVS seems to be aiming to dethrone Honda Activa, which is currently India’s best-selling scooter. TVS has outdone their already winning formula and has made New Jupiter vastly more appealing than before. The company has launched New Jupiter for a starting price of Rs 73,700 (Ex-sh), which is competitive, considering rivals.
      TVS Jupiter – All variants pricing
      For the price, TVS is offering a lot of features and will take Jupiter legacy to a new level. Even though I initially felt like Jupiter didn’t need an update, the new model makes its predecessor look obsolete, in terms of design. We’re looking at Jupiter’s evolved ethos where TVS is bringing excitement into family scooter genre.
      In that regard, we get a new design, which looks a lot more mature than it did before. We get a new fascia with a much sleeker LED reflector headlight. Top models get connected LED DRLs in the apron with seamless LED turn indicators integrated into them. Rear LED tail lights get a similar effect as well, lending a modern appeal.
      New TVS Jupiter
      Side silhouette is still adhering to a family scooter genre. However, TVS is modernizing for crisper details and sharper lines than before. The Dawn Blue Matte colour is the one TVS provided us at the media drive event and it looks very good. There are 4 variants and accordingly, TVS offers Galactic Copper Matte, Starlight Blue Gloss, Lunar White Gloss, Titanium Grey Matte and Meteor Red Gloss colour options.
      New platform, new engine
      The New TVS Jupiter 110 is positioned on a new lighter chassis with Body Balance Technology 2.0. There is a new powertrain for Jupiter too, which is a derivative of Jupiter 125’s engine block. 2024 Jupiter gets a 113.3 cc unit, replacing the older 109.7cc unit. This engine is coupled to ‘iGO’ micro-hybrid tech with electric assist.
      2024 TVS Jupiter Side
      Peak power is 8 bhp, but peak torque varies from 9.2 Nm without iGO assist and 9.8 Nm with iGO assist. Peak performance is achieved at lower RPMs with the new J110 engine as opposed to its predecessor. Acceleration is on par with rivals and proves to be peppy in daily rides. iGO assistance helps achieve responsive roll-on acceleration. TVS quotes improved fuel-efficiency too. Around 7% to 8% improvement.
      For the first time, TVS is offering petal disc brakes at the front with TVS Jupiter 110. Petal design helps in better heat dissipation as there is more surface area along the edges. Breaking performance was stronger in comparison to its predecessor. We would reserve our thorough opinions before experiencing the scooter in real-world testing.
      TVS Jupiter Lighting
      We even experienced the Body Balance Technology 2.0 on New TVS Jupiter and it inspired a lot of confidence. Stability is excellent and has good cornering abilities, as we experienced the same on TVS’ test track inside their facility in Hosur, Tamil Nadu. Overall handling characteristics are composed with a hint of sportiness and the 12-inch wheels play a part here.
      Space and Features
      Rider ergonomics was balanced. I am a 6 feet (182 cm) tall individual and I didn’t face any issues. Seat is long and offers a lot of room to move around. Because of my height, I sat closer to mid point of this seat and there was still acceptable room for a slim pillion behind me.
      New Jupiter
      TVS has offered an accommodating floorboard with New Jupiter. I can imagine carrying a gas cylinder on this scooter. There’s a handy glove box behind the front apron and it can take a water bottle too. It also acts as a nice compartment to keep a smartphone when it is being charged via the USB Type-A port onboard.
      There is a retractable hook as well, to hang grocery bags or something of that sort. Adding to convenience is a front fuel filler cap, as the fuel tank is positioned in scooter’s floorboard. Because fuel tank is moved away from under-seat area, it liberates a lot of storage. TVS demonstrates this storage space by stowing two half-face helmets.
      2024 TVS Jupiter Storage
      TVS offers an extensive range of features to come off as well-equipped. In this pursuit, TVS has done a great job as New Jupiter is quite feature-loaded. For starters, it gets a fully digital colour LCD instrument cluster with Bluetooth connectivity and voice-assist function including TVS’ proprietary SmartXonnect system.
      Bluetooth connectivity ensures notification alerts from smartphone along with turn-by-turn navigation system. With the help of TVS SmartXonnect system, users can unlock a host of connected features like “Find Me” and a host of rider stats. We wished this display was a little brighter, especially under direct sunlight.
