Royal Enfield continues absolute dominance

Royal Enfield once again emerged as the undisputed leader in the 350cc–450cc motorcycle segment in November 2025. Auto.MotorMitra The brand’s combined sales from models like Classic 350, Bullet 350, Hunter 350, Meteor 350 and Himalayan 450 placed it far ahead of all competitors.

Despite rising competition, Royal Enfield’s deep-rooted brand loyalty, extensive dealership network and wide product spread continue to work strongly in its favour. motormitra.in The Hunter 350 remains a volume driver among younger buyers, while the Classic 350 and Bullet maintain consistent demand from traditional customers.

The Himalayan 450 has also added incremental volumes, strengthening Royal Enfield’s position in the premium adventure touring sub-segment. times.motormitra.in

Triumph gains ground with 400cc platform

Triumph Motorcycles India, in partnership with Bajaj, continued its upward momentum in November 2025. Auto.MotorMitra The Speed 400 and Scrambler 400X have been key contributors, delivering strong monthly numbers and attracting riders looking for a premium badge at a relatively accessible price point.

Triumph’s success in this segment is particularly notable given its earlier niche positioning in India. The 400cc platform has allowed the brand to significantly expand its footprint, and November sales reflect growing acceptance among urban and enthusiast buyers. motormitra.in

Honda’s steady but conservative presence

Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India maintains a relatively conservative presence in the 350cc–450cc category. Models like the CB350, CB350RS and CB300 series contribute to its sales, though volumes remain modest compared to Royal Enfield and Triumph. times.motormitra.in

Honda’s strength lies in refinement, reliability and brand trust. However, limited product variety and a slower expansion strategy in this displacement range have kept its sales growth gradual rather than aggressive. Auto.MotorMitra

KTM focuses on performance-led buyers

KTM continues to appeal to a more performance-oriented audience in the 350cc–450cc segment. Models like the 390 Duke, 390 Adventure and RC 390 continue to contribute steady numbers. motormitra.in

While KTM’s volumes are lower than mass-market-focused brands, its positioning remains clear. Buyers in this segment choose KTM for performance, aggressive styling and riding dynamics rather than brand legacy or retro appeal. motormitra.in

November 2025 sales reflect stable demand, especially from younger enthusiasts and touring-focused riders. times.motormitra.in

Bajaj benefits from multi-brand strategy

Bajaj Auto plays a dual role in this segment through its own Dominar range and partnerships with Triumph and KTM. The Dominar 400 continues to cater to riders looking for a value-driven touring motorcycle with a muscular stance. Auto.MotorMitra

While Dominar volumes alone may not rival Royal Enfield, Bajaj’s combined contribution through KTM and Triumph gives it a significant indirect presence in the 350cc–450cc space. motormitra.in

This multi-brand approach has allowed Bajaj to cover different buyer mindsets within the same displacement category. motormitra.in

Harley-Davidson builds niche volumes

Harley-Davidson, through its collaboration with Hero MotoCorp, continues to build niche volumes in the mid-capacity segment. The X440 remains the brand’s primary offering and has helped Harley maintain visibility in India after its earlier exit from direct operations. times.motormitra.in

Sales remain limited compared to mainstream competitors, but the Harley badge continues to attract lifestyle-focused buyers seeking differentiation. Auto.MotorMitra

Aprilia remains enthusiast-focused

Aprilia’s presence in the 350cc–450cc segment remains niche and enthusiast-oriented. With limited models and higher price positioning, Aprilia does not chase volume but instead targets riders looking for sporty design and European performance character. motormitra.in

November 2025 sales reflect consistent but low volumes, aligned with the brand’s focused strategy.

Jawa struggles to regain momentum

Jawa and Yezdi motorcycles continue to face challenges in the mid-capacity segment. Despite having multiple offerings, sales remain under pressure due to stiff competition, network concerns and changing buyer preferences. times.motormitra.in

While the retro appeal remains, November 2025 numbers indicate that Jawa still has work to do in strengthening product perception and after-sales confidence. Auto.MotorMitra

Segment trends visible in November 2025

One of the most noticeable trends in the 350cc–450cc segment is the clear diversification of buyer choice. Retro cruisers, roadsters, adventure tourers and performance bikes now coexist within the same displacement bracket.

Buyers are no longer choosing displacement alone but are driven by riding style, brand image and intended usage. This has allowed newer players to carve out their own space without directly taking on Royal Enfield’s core customer base. motormitra.in

Another trend is the increasing acceptance of premium pricing, as long as the product delivers on quality, features and brand value. times.motormitra.in

What lies ahead for the segment

Looking ahead, the 350cc–450cc motorcycle segment is expected to become even more competitive. New launches, feature upgrades and possible pricing revisions could further reshape the sales hierarchy. Auto.MotorMitra

Royal Enfield is likely to defend its leadership with incremental updates, while brands like Triumph and KTM are expected to push harder with new variants and touring-focused options.

For buyers, this means more choice, better products and sharper competition. times.motormitra.in

Final takeaway

November 2025 sales data clearly reinforces that the 350cc–450cc motorcycle segment is no longer a one-brand story. While Royal Enfield remains firmly on top, competition beneath is intensifying with Triumph, KTM, Honda and others steadily strengthening their positions. motormitra.in

As this segment matures further, the coming months are expected to bring even more action, making it one of the most exciting spaces in the Indian two-wheeler market. Auto.MotorMitra
