The sales figures for May 2019 are 13.52 per cent more than that of April 2019.

The month of May has been rather busy for Hero MotoCorp. In the beginning of the month, Hero launched three motorcycles, which were the Hero XPulse 200, Hero XPulse 200T and the Hero Xtreme 200S. All these motorcycles share their engine and frame with the Hero Xtreme 200R. The Hero XPulse 200 is an off-road motorcycle while the XPulse 200T meant for touring. And the Xtreme 200S is a faired version of the Xtreme 200R.

Apart from these, the company also launched two new scooters which were the new Hero Pleasure+ 110 and Hero Maestro Edge 125. These are India's first scooters which get fuel injection instead of regular carburettors. Most Hero dealerships across have already started accepting bookings for the five new products.
