In July 2025, Royal Enfield powered through with an impressive total of 76,254 motorcycles sold, a significant leap from the 61,208 units moved in July 2024. This reflects a robust year-on-year growth of 24.5%, cementing the brandโs stronghold in the middleweight motorcycle market. The Chennai-based manufacturerโs core models led the charge, while some newer offerings faced headwinds. Letโs dive into the performance of each model and what it means for Royal Enfieldโs future.
Classic 350: The Timeless Champion
The Royal Enfield Classic 350 continues to be the backbone of the brandโs success, rolling out 26,516 units in July 2025. This marks a solid 24.06% increase from the 21,373 units sold in July 2024. Its retro charm, paired with the reliable J-series engine, keeps it a favorite among riders who value heritage and performance. The Classicโs consistent demand underscores its role as the brandโs top performer.
Hunter 350: The Youthful Contender
Hot on the heels of the Classic, the Hunter 350 captured the second spot with 18,373 units sold, up 30.39% from 14,091 units in July 2024. Its modern styling, nimble handling, and budget-friendly price have made it a hit with younger riders. Recent updates to the model have further boosted its appeal, making it a key driver of Royal Enfieldโs growth.
Bullet 350: The Growth King
The Bullet 350 stole the spotlight with the highest growth rate in the lineup, clocking 15,847 units soldโa whopping 59.28% jump from 9,949 units in July 2024. This iconic modelโs surge highlights its enduring appeal, blending vintage aesthetics with dependable performance that resonates with loyalists and new riders alike.
Meteor 350: The Cruiserโs Steady Ride
The Meteor 350, designed for relaxed, long-distance cruising, added 8,600 units to the tally, reflecting a modest 8.85% growth from 7,901 units last year. Its comfortable ergonomics and smooth ride continue to attract riders seeking a laid-back experience on the open road.
650 Twins: Powering Up
The 650 Twins, including the Interceptor and Continental GT, roared ahead with 3,349 units sold, a strong 57.08% increase from 2,132 units in July 2024. These models appeal to riders craving more power and a premium riding experience, contributing significantly to the brandโs mid-capacity segment.
Struggles in the Niche Segment
Not every model enjoyed the same success. The Himalayan, Royal Enfieldโs adventure tourer, saw a sharp 43.81% decline, dropping to 1,556 units from 2,769 in July 2024. Similarly, the Guerrilla and Shotgun faced challenges, with sales falling 53.17% (688 units) and 48.34% (234 units), respectively. The Super Meteor eked out a marginal 1.87% gain, moving 1,091 units compared to 1,071 last year. These declines suggest that Royal Enfieldโs newer or niche models are struggling to find their footing in a competitive market.

Looking Ahead: Royal Enfieldโs Roadmap
Despite setbacks in some segments, the stellar performance of the Classic, Hunter, and Bullet ensures Royal Enfield remains on a strong growth trajectory.

Additionally, Royal Enfield is gearing up for its electric future with the Flying Flea C6, set to debut before the end of 2025, followed by a scrambler variant. An electric Himalayan is also in testing, signaling the brandโs commitment to innovation while staying true to its roots.
