Top 5 Commuter And Sports Bikes Loved By Indians In April 2026, Full Sales Breakdown Inside

The Hero Splendor, a trusted companion of millions of middle-class families, has once again broken sales records to take the top spot, while the Honda Shine and Bajaj Pulsar also maintained their strong presence on Indian roads. In this comprehensive and exclusive sales report, let’s explore the top five motorcycles that were most loved by the Indian public in April 2026 and their sales growth.

Hero Splendor

The undisputed king of the entry-level commuter bike segment, the Hero Splendor, has once again proven that it is impossible for any competitor to dislodge its place in the hearts of Indian customers. As in every month, this motorcycle emerged as the country’s best-selling two-wheeler in April 2026.

According to the latest data, approximately 3.09 lakh units of the Hero Splendor were sold across the country last month. If we compare this figure with the same period in April 2025, this figure stood at around 1.98 lakh units. This means that Splendor sales have seen a significant and revolutionary surge year-on-year. Its excellent mileage, extremely low maintenance costs, and unwavering durability make it the preferred choice for self-reliant commuters, from Indian villages to cities, even today.

Honda Shine

Japanese two-wheeler manufacturer Honda’s evergreen bike, the Honda Shine, firmly holds the second position on this list. Under this brand name, the company sells two highly refined and affordable options: the Shine 100 and Shine 125. This bike has been a dominant force in the 125cc segment for years.

During April 2026, the Honda Shine family recorded bumper sales of over 1.82 lakh units, significantly better than the 1.69 lakh units sold last year (April 2025). Honda’s extremely quiet engine, buttery-smooth gear shifting technology, and long life make this bike a consistent choice among urban working youth and office-goers.

Bajaj Pulsar

Bajaj Auto’s rugged and aggressively styled Bajaj Pulsar series has maintained its popularity among the country’s youth, securing a place in the top 3. Bajaj offers a wide range of excellent sports bikes in its Pulsar portfolio, ranging from 125cc to 400cc, providing riders with the desired speed.

Last month, Pulsar enthusiasts nationwide purchased over 1.31 lakh units. Looking at the figures for April 2025, approximately 1.24 lakh people chose the Pulsar. With its muscular fuel tank, powerful digital console, and explosive power at the drop of a button, the Pulsar remains a popular choice among college students and performance enthusiasts.

Hero HF Deluxe

Another highly popular entry-level motorcycle from Hero MotoCorp, the Hero HF Deluxe, has secured the fourth position in the sales race. This bike is primarily designed for those who commute long distances daily and want to minimize fuel consumption.

According to the April 2026 sales report, approximately 92,000 units of this affordable motorcycle were purchased across the country. This figure is particularly surprising because in April 2025, only 41,000 units were sold nationwide. This means that demand for this bike has more than doubled in just one year, demonstrating the public’s unwavering trust in its utility and excellent commuter design.

TVS Apache

TVS Motor Company’s TVS Apache series, which captivates sports and racing enthusiasts, completes the top five in this list. Featuring Race Tuned Fuel Injection (RT-Fi) technology and advanced riding modes, the Apache series is known for its excellent handling and sharp looks.

According to last month’s sales figures, the company has successfully delivered over 49,000 Apache bikes in the country. In April 2025, this figure was around 45,000 units. This racing machine from TVS is continuously strengthening its share due to its powerful sound, advanced Bluetooth connectivity, and excellent performance on the highway.
