Top 5 Best-Selling 125cc Bikes In India: July 2025

According to the latest SIAM (Society Of Indian Automobile Manufacturers) sales data, we have compiled a list of the top 5 best-selling 125cc bikes for July, and here’s the analysis:

Honda Shine 125

The Honda Shine 125 has been Honda’s bread-and-butter model for years. It’s not only the best-selling 125cc bike but is also the second best-selling motorcycle in general in India. Honda sold 1,38,665 units in the month of July 2025, which is a 2.85% increase in MoM (Month-On-Month) sales when compared to June 2025, while the YoY (Year-On-Year) sales show a slight decline of 1.36%. Expect the sales to go up in the following months thanks to the festive season.

Bajaj Pulsar 125cc Range

The Bajaj Pulsar 125cc range has three bikes: the Bajaj Pulsar 125 with classic styling, the modern Pulsar N125, and the sporty Pulsar NS125. In July 2025, Bajaj sold 41,306 units of the Bajaj Pulsar range, which is a 16.79% decrease in the MoM sales when compared with June 2025. The YoY sales too show a 25.85% decrease. In an attempt to boost sales numbers, Bajaj recently announced a lot of festive offers. Check them out here.

TVS Raider 125

The TVS Raider 125 practically popularised the sporty 125cc segment in the country. It has been quite a popular motorcycle among the buyers who want a fuel-efficient motorcycle that can handle city commutes with ease and also the occasional highway runs. 

TVS sold 24,511 units of the bike in July 2025, that’s a 10.80% decrease in MoM sales, while the YoY sales have been quite consistent with just a 0.14% decrease. Even though the brand launched two new colour schemes for the Raider recently, the launch of the Hero Glamour X 125 poses a big threat to the Raider’s sales. We’ll have to wait and see how the numbers turn up in the following months. 

Hero Super Splendor

The Hero Super Splendor has been synonymous with reliability, ease of riding, and hassle-free ownership since its launch. It has all the good fundamental qualities, just like the Hero Splendor Plus, but comes with a larger 125cc engine.

Despite these qualities it managed to tally only 12,488 units in July 2025. This is a significant decrease in MoM sales by 38.87%. The YoY sales, though, show an increase of 18.54%. 

Hero Xtreme 125R

In July 2025, Hero sold 12,287 units of the Hero Xtreme 125R, a 23.06% decrease in MoM sales. The YoY sales too show a similar trend with a 52.44% decline, which is quite a lot. This is despite the launch of the single-piece seat variant of the Xtreme 125 in April. It’s high time Hero offers a similar set of features as the Glamour X 125 on the sportier Xtreme 125R – that will go a long way in bringing the Xtreme’s market share back.
