All Bikes And Scooters Launched In May 2025

The month of May witnessed several new models making their debut across various segments in India. From electric scooters and entry-level commuters to high-performance streetfighters and touring machines, manufacturers had something for almost every type of rider. Here's a brand-wise breakdown of all the major two-wheeler launches which took place this month:

Benelli: TRK Series Gets A Makeover

Benelli has updated its TRK 502 series for 2025, launching it in three variants: the standard TRK 502, TRK 502 X, and the TRK 502 LE. Prices start from Rs 6,20,000 (ex-showroom, Delhi), the lineup receives a fresher look and enhanced features. The base variant rides on 17-inch alloy wheels at both ends, while the X and LE variants come equipped with a more off-road-friendly 19-inch front and 17-inch rear spoke wheel setup with tubeless tyres. The bikes now also feature a new TFT console that supports smartphone connectivity and includes a tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS).

Triumph: The Baby Scrambler Gets More Hardcore

Triumph has launched the Scrambler 400 XC in India for Rs 2,94,147 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi), positioning it as a more off-road-capable version of the standard Scrambler 400 X. The Scrambler 400 XC justifies its Rs 27,000 premium with hardware updates like tubeless spoke wheels, a new front beak, flyscreen, lower engine guard, and an aluminium sump guard. These changes will make it better suited for trails and rough roads than the standard version. The motorcycle is available in three colour schemes: Granite, Racing Yellow, and Vanilla White.

Honda: Something For Everyone

Honda had a particularly busy month with multiple launches. It reintroduced the CBR650R and CB650R, both now equipped with Honda’s E-Clutch technology. This allows clutchless gear shifting, making city and highway riding more convenient. Both motorcycles are powered by a 649cc inline-four engine that produces 93.8PS and 63Nm. While the CB650R is priced at Rs 9,60,000, the fully faired CBR650R comes in at Rs 10,40,000 (both ex-showroom Gurugram).

Honda launched the Rebel 500 in India at Rs 5,12,000 (ex-showroom Gurugram), making it the only small-capacity cruiser from the brand in India. With its 471cc parallel-twin engine producing 46.22PS and 43.3Nm, the Rebel is for someone who prefers a laid-back riding experience with Honda’s smooth and reliable engine. Its low-slung design, minimalist aesthetics, and smooth power delivery make it an appealing option for cruiser enthusiasts. 

Another cruiser which Honda has launched this month is its 50th Anniversary Gold Wing Tour in India. Priced at Rs 39,90,000 (ex-showroom, Gurugram) the special edition bike gets a new Bordeaux Red Metallic colour scheme which looks quite good. Although the bike remains mechanically unchanged, it gets special badging and an emblem on the bike marking its 50th Anniversary. 

Honda also introduced the 2025 X-ADV, an adventure scooter priced at Rs 11.90 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). The X-ADV combines the practicality of a scooter with the design and equipment of an adventure bike. It is powered by a 745cc parallel-twin engine, which makes 58.6PS and 69Nm, and gets a dual-clutch transmission (DCT). The scooter rides on 17-inch cross-spoked tubeless wheels fitted with block-pattern tyres. Other features include cruise control and a TFT instrument console.

For the performance enthusiasts, Honda launched two Hornet models. The flagship CB1000 Hornet SP is priced at Rs 12,35,900 (ex-showroom Gurugram) and is powered by a 999cc inline-four engine that produces 157PS and 107Nm. It’s the most affordable litre-class streetfighter in India that makes north of 150PS. Alongside it, the CB750 Hornet was also launched at Rs 8,59,500 (ex-showroom Gurugram), featuring a 755cc twin-cylinder engine that makes 92PS and 75Nm. It shares the same TFT console and also gets multiple riding modes.

TVS: Bigger Batteries, Fresher Colours 

TVS enhanced its electric scooter lineup by updating the iQube series, which now includes the base model, the iQube S, and the iQube ST. All variants benefit from larger battery packs, higher range, and upgraded connectivity features. Notably, TVS has also reduced prices across the range, making them more accessible for urban commuters.

In addition, TVS launched the Jupiter 125 DT SXC variant, which comes at Rs 88,942 (ex-showroom Delhi). This version stands out with its dual-tone bodywork, new colour schemes, and body-coloured grab rails. It also comes with an LCD console featuring SmartXonnect that enables smartphone connectivity,  turn-by-turn navigation, call & SMS alerts among other features. This variant is more affordable than the top-end SmartXonnect model.

Suzuki: Smarter Scooters

Suzuki brought meaningful updates to two of its 125cc scooters. The Access 125, the company's bestseller, now features a TFT console in the new top-end Ride Connect TFT Edition. The Suzuki Avenis 125 has also received an update with a new Standard Edition, priced at Rs 91,400, making it Rs 1,800 more affordable than the variant that’s simply called the “Avenis”. 

Bajaj: More Utility, More Performance

Bajaj launched the updated Platina 110 NXT, which now comes with a refreshed look and improved features. Priced at Rs 74,214 (ex-showroom Delhi), the commuter motorcycle is powered by a 115.45cc, OBD-2B compliant engine that makes 8.5PS and 9.81Nm. The updates include a chrome bezel on the headlamp, a USB charger, new graphics, and a comfier seat. It is offered in three colour options: Red-Black, Silver-Black, and Yellow-Black.

Ahead of its official launch, the updated Pulsar NS400Z began arriving at dealerships. The 2025 model is the most powerful Pulsar yet, now producing 43PS (up from 40PS) from its 373cc liquid-cooled engine, with torque remaining at 35Nm. Bajaj has also added a quickshifter, grippier Apollo Alpha H1 tyres, and sintered brake pads for improved performance. While the outgoing model was priced at Rs 1.85 lakh, the new version will likely be around Rs 10,000 more expensive.

KTM: Small Yet Meaningful 

KTM’s 2025 update to the 390 Duke is minor but important. The new version, priced at Rs 2.96 lakh (ex-showroom), now comes fitted with Apollo Alpha H1 W-rated soft compound tyres, replacing the Metzeler Sportec M5 H-rated units. This change aims to offer better grip and handling compared to the Metzelers.

Kawasaki: Baby 300s Are Back 

Kawasaki India launched  the 2025 Versys-X 300 in India, pricing it at Rs 3.80 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). The 2025 version continues to be powered by a 296cc parallel-twin engine producing 40PS and 25.7Nm. Despite its dependable Japanese engineering, it now faces fierce competition in 2025, making it fairly irrelevant except for a very niche audience who are looking for an affordable old-school parallel-twin ADV. 

Another bike which shares the same engine and has been launched in India is the 2025 Ninja 300. For this year, the bike gets projector headlights, a larger windscreen, new paint schemes and different tyres. Apart from these changes, the 2025 model remains the same as before.
