# Splendor leads July bike sales with 3.35 lakh units 2026-08-21T13:31:38+00:00 | Business & Economy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Hero Splendor led India’s top-selling motorcycles in July, with 3,35,246 units sold, up 36% from 2,46,715 units in the same month last year. Honda Shine ranked second at 1,91,950 units, a 20% rise from 1,59,658 units. Bajaj Pulsar sales fell 17% to 66,156 units from 79,817, while TVS Apache climbed 58% to 59,404 units from 37,566. Apache moved closer to Pulsar in the sporty-bike segment. Hero HF Deluxe completed the top five with 55,978 units, down 22% from 71,477 a year earlier. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The figures show how sharply buyer demand can differ within one manufacturer’s portfolio. Monthly rankings can also move with discounts, financing offers, model-year changes, stock availability and regional demand, so a single month does not establish a lasting trend. The closest contest is now between Pulsar and Apache, with a gap of 6,752 units. Their next monthly result will show whether Apache’s rise is sustained or reflects a temporary sales push. ## Coverage - businesstoday.in Straight comparison of sales volumes and year-on-year changes This story was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
