Design & Looks
All six major players rolled out fresh colour palettes and sharper graphics to attract younger buyers. Honda kept its sleek, rounded body on the Activa, while Hero gave the Splendor a bolder headlamp. TVS’s Apache series sported aggressive fairings, and Bajaj’s Pulsar got a sharper tail‑section. Suzuki’s Access 125 stayed simple yet modern, and Royal Enfield’s Classic retained its retro charm.
Performance & Mileage
Engine outputs stayed in the 110‑150 cc range for most commuters, delivering mileage that still hovers around 45‑65 km/l depending on the model. The sport‑oriented bikes like the Apache and Pulsar trade a few km/l for a peppier ride, while the scooters focus on fuel‑efficiency for daily traffic.
Price & Rivals
Prices continued to cluster between ₹55,000 and ₹1,45,000, keeping the segment affordable. Honda’s Activa 125 is priced near the top of the scooter range, challenging TVS’s Jupiter. Hero’s Splendor competes directly with Bajaj’s Platina, and Suzuki’s Access 125 aims at the same crowd as Honda’s Activa 125. Royal Enfield remains the premium choice, priced well above the commuter crowd.
