Highlights

  • The Hero Splendor is number one in the sales charts in June 2019
  • The Honda Activa is in second spot in the two-wheeler sales charts
  • The Hero HF Deluxe brings up the third spot, followed by Honda CB Shine

The Hero Splendor and Honda Activa have regularly fought it out in the sales charts to claim the top spot in India's two-wheeler market. In 2019, it seems to be the commuter motorcycle range from Hero MotoCorp which is gaining ground, consistently overtaking the Honda Activa in monthly sales during the first half of the calendar year. In June though, the Hero Splendor range took the top spot, selling a total of 2,42,743 units, although it overtook the Honda Activa by just over 6,000 unit sales. However, the Splendor range of motorcycles has consistently overtaken the Activa scooters in the sales charts in five out of the first six months of 2019.
