Questions you may find useful

Is it true that ABS will become mandatory for two-wheelers from April? I am planning to buy a new 125cc bike. Should I wait for the new ABS regulations to be implemented or buy one now? Also, when are these rules expected to come into effect?

As of today, there is no confirmed rule that makes ABS mandatory on all bikes nor is there clarity about when such a rule will come into effect. If you are looking to buy a new 125cc bike with ABS, we'd advise you to pick between the TVS Raider, Hero Xtreme 125R and Honda CB125 Hornet. These bikes are light, comfortable, fuel efficient and feature-rich making them good commuting partners. We'd recommend you take test rides of all three and see which one you gel with most before making your decision.

Hi, I am planning to buy a new 125cc bike for my daily commute. My daily usage will be around 15-20 km.

In the 125cc segment, you have two clear flavours to choose from. On one hand, you have simple, straightforward machines like the Honda Shine, Hero Super Splendor and Glamour, as well as the Bajaj Pulsar 125. On the other hand, you have feature-rich, sporty-looking machines like TVS Raider, Honda CB125 Hornet and Hero Xtreme 125R. Our top picks would be the Honda Shine and TVS Raider in each category. While the overall performance and fuel economy will largely be the same, no matter which one you choose. Bikes in the latter category will have more features and also cost slightly more. What you choose will boil down to your preferences, so we would suggest a test ride of these bikes to see which one suits you best.

I want to buy a 125-150 cc bike. My height is 165 cm. I want it for the daily office commute. I want a bike with low seat height, not too high, with a refined engine, decent mileage of 45+ and with ABS.

Pretty much every single 150-160cc commuter comes with at least single-channel ABS, so that won't be a deciding factor for you. Our top picks in this class are the Bajaj Pulsar N160 and TVS Apache RTR 160 4V if you want something sportier and feature-rich. If you want to stick to a simple, no-nonsense machine, then the Honda Unicorn remains a safe bet. If ridden sensibly, you should see in excess of 45kpl for all of these 150cc bikes.In the 125cc class, if having ABS is non-negotiable, then your options are restricted to the TVS Raider and Honda CB125 Hornet. Of these three, the TVS is our top recommendation. The 125s will be quite fuel-efficient, and you'll seldom see a mileage figure below 50kpl, no matter your riding style.You should first decide which segment you want to stick with and then take a test ride of the bikes accordingly before you make a decision.

I am 33 years old and have been riding my father’s Passion Plus bike since I was 20. I travel around 120 km every day for work, and I’m looking for a bike that can handle long daily rides comfortably and reliably. I want a sporty-looking bike with good real-world mileage, low maintenance, and a durable body. I also prefer modern features and technology. Which bike would you recommend for my needs?
