This article lists the top 3 adventure motorcycles in the Indian market in Oct 2025 with respect to their sales figures
The adventure tourer segment of motorcycles is one of the most popular and fastest growing in the Indian market. Hence, more and more two-wheeler brands are tapping into this segment with their all-new bikes. The latest example is TVS Apache RTX 300 which is the latest entrant in this ever-evolving segment of motorcycles in the Indian market. As the segment is witnessing unprecedented growth, the sales numbers are also picking up significantly. In this piece, we will talk about the top 3 adventure bikes in Oct 2025 in the country.
1. Hero Xpulse 200
It will not be an understatement to term the Xpulse 200 as the most value-for-money adventure motorcycle in the domestic market in India. Needless to state, it was the highest-selling ADV bike in Oct 2025 with 4,161 units as compared to 1,964 units during the same month last year. Hero Xpulse 200 recorded a swashbuckling YoY growth of 112 percent.
| Model | Oct 2025 Sales | Oct 2024 Sales |
| Hero Xpulse 200 | 4,161 | 1,964 |
| Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 | 2,561 | 2,199 |
| Suzuki V-Strom SX | 903 | 536 |
Hero Xpulse 200 is available in three variants namely 4V, 4V Pro and 4V Pro Dakar Edition at price points of Rs 1.40 lakh, 1.52 lakh and Rs 1.55 lakh, respectively. All the prices mentioned before are ex-showroom, Delhi. Some of the notable features onboard the Xpulse 200 are Rally-styled windshield, Knuckle guards, USB Smartphone charger, Upswept exhaust, 3 ABS modes (Road, Off-Road and Rally), LED projector headlamp with LED DRLs and LED winkers, and Hazard switch.
2. Royal Enfield Himalayan 450
Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 is undoubtedly the most wholesome and capable middleweight adventure motorcycle in the Indian market. The company sold a total of 2,561 units of the ADV bike last month against the 2,199 units retailed in Oct 2024. Hence, it registered a YoY growth of 16 percent. However, the MoM sales fell by nearly 35 percent as RE had sold 3,939 units in Sep 2025.
Launched in Nov 2023, the Himalayan 450 is priced between Rs 3.06-3.20 lakh (ex-showroom) in the Indian market. One of the primary reasons for sales dropping in Oct 2025 could be the hike in price of the ADV motorcycle by up to Rs 22k due to the revised GST rates which increased the existing 28 percent tax to 40 percent on bikes with engine capacity above 350cc.
3. Suzuki V-Strom SX
Last but not the least, Suzuki V-Storm SX was the third best-selling model in Oct 2025 in the list of ADV bikes. With volumes of 903 units, it witnessed a massive YoY growth of 68 percent as the brand had managed to retail just 536 units in Oct 2024. As far as MoM sales is concerned, the growth was even higher at 399 percent as in Sep 2025, only 181 units of the V-Strom SX were retailed in the domestic market. The adventure motorcycle is available in a single fully-loaded variant at a sticker price of Rs 1.98 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).
