In the financial year ending March 2023, the company achieved a record sale of 9.38 lakh units and a year-on-year growth of 24.3% as compared to FY 2021-22. The company says that the growth in sales numbers indicate that demand for its two-wheelers is increasing in the domestic as well as overseas markets.
Last fiscal year also saw the company make its entry in the 250cc adventure sports segment with the launch of V-Strom SX. The bike is touted for its versatility and has been designed for daily commute, long highway rides as well as riding on rough terrains.
It is based on the design concept of ‘Toughness in a Slender Shell’, wherein it gets rugged, adventure-inspired looks. The slender shell refers to the motorcycle's slim exterior shape and compact engine wrapped in a ‘protector-like’ shell. The chassis is well rounded and forms the backbone of the V-Strom SX.
