Suzuki Motorcycle India (SMIPL), one of the leading two-wheeler manufacturers in the country, has launched the V-Strom SX adventure tourer motorcycle in a refreshed avatar, featuring four new colour options and updated graphics. The new V-Strom SX is now available at Suzuki dealerships across India, priced at INR 198,018 (ex-showroom Delhi).

The launch was also marked by the flag-off of the company's first-ever V-Strom Expedition for customers, a 10-day adventure ride to the Himalayas.

The V-Strom SX now sports a more vibrant and dynamic look while retaining its proven reliability. The new colour palette includes: Pearl Fresh Blue + Glass Sparkle Black, Champion Yellow No. 2 + Glass Sparkle Black, Pearl Glacier White + Metallic Mat Stellar Blue and Glass Sparkle Black.

It also gets sport-inspired graphics and a textured pattern on the side panels to enhance the motorcycle's sporty appeal. The adventure tourer continues to be powered by an OBD-2B compliant 249cc, oil-cooled SOHC engine that delivers 26.5 PS and 22.2 Nm of torque.

To celebrate the launch, SMIPL flagged off a customer-exclusive V-Strom Expedition. The 10-day ride, running from 26th September to 5th October, takes riders from Delhi to Ladakh and back, traversing high-altitude passes and rugged terrains in Himachal Pradesh and Ladakh.

The expedition is designed to challenge riders and test the V-Strom SX's endurance under real-world, high-altitude conditions. Beyond the ride, participants will engage in expert-led training sessions on high-altitude riding, obstacle handling and adventure photography.

Deepak Mutreja, Vice-President, Sales & Marketing, Suzuki Motorcycle India, said, "The launch of the V-Strom SX in new colours with refreshed graphics gives our customers more exciting choices while staying true to the motorcycle’s proven reliability and performance. At the same time, the first-ever V-Strom Expedition for customers is an initiative to celebrate our growing community of adventure enthusiasts. It is not just about riding together but also about experiencing the capabilities of the V-Strom SX in real-world conditions."

"Through such experiences, we seek to nurture a culture of adventure touring in India, where the V-Strom SX becomes a trusted partner for exploration. This is just the beginning, and we look forward to bringing many more such experiences that strengthen our bond with customers while offering them the thrill of riding motorcycles built for reliability and exploration,” he said.

Hero MotoCorp, the world’s largest two-wheeler manufacturer, has reported its wholesales for September 2025 and YTD FY2026.

The company sold a total of 687,220 two-wheelers in September, which marked a 7.87 percent as compared to 637,050 units last year. This included 626,217 motorcycles, up 4.8 percent YoY and 61,003 scooters, up 54 percent YoY. On the exports front, the company shipped 39,638 units, as compared to 20,344 units last year.

The strong monthly performance contributed to steady growth, a trend rooted in the strategic diversification of the product portfolio, including 12 new scooters and motorcycles launched since the last festive season. The month’s dispatch performance coincided with a major milestone: Hero MotoCorp became the first Indian company to surpass the 125 million cumulative two-wheeler production mark.

Hero MotoCorp stated that positive momentum is visible across the business. Showroom and dealership footfalls have more than doubled compared to the festive season last year, driven by the festive spirit and new GST benefits, with significant traction observed in the high-volume commuter segment.

The company’s electric vehicle business, Vida, powered by Hero, continued its strong growth trajectory, recording 12,736 VAHAN registrations in September 2025. This performance, led by the recently launched Vida VX2 Evooter, resulted in a sharp YoY EV market share rise from 4.7 percent to 12.2 percent, underscoring growing consumer trust in the brand. The company noted that demand for Vida currently remains ahead of supply in several key markets, indicating robust traction for its EV business this festive season.
