The Rizta has turned into one of Ather’s most successful models, accounting for over one-third of the company’s total production volume. It also crossed the one-lakh sales mark within just a year of its launch in April 2025. The top-spec Rizta Z variant now gets a new touch-enabled instrument cluster, which comes as standard.
In other news, Ather’s Community Day event this year saw the unveiling of two new concept scooters, the family-oriented EL01, which is set to go into production in 2026, and the more radical Redux, which remains a design experiment for now.
