These motorcycles perfectly balance performance, ease, and innovation - qualities that today’s riders value more than ever.”

They feature a six-speed gearbox and high-end hardware, including Showa 41 mm SFF-BP front forks, rear monoshock and dual-channel ABS. A 5-inch full-colour TFT display with smartphone connectivity via the Honda RoadSync app adds a modern touch.

Chennai-headquartered two-wheeler and three-wheeler major TVS Motor Company has reported its strongest-ever quarterly sales performance in Q1 of FY2026, hitting a record 1.27 million units. This robust growth was underpinned by significant increases across both two-wheeler and three-wheeler segments, alongside a substantial boost in international business.
