The year 2022 was more interesting than we expected it to be. While some of the two-wheeler launches were anticipated, there were a bunch of surprises from brands like TVS and Jawa. These developments kept us on our toes as we covered all the launches promptly and in detail and some of them rewarded us with incredible views from our readers. Here we list down the five most popular two-wheeler launches in 2022 on BikeWale in terms of online traffic.
5. TVS Ronin
TVS’ Ronin was unsurprisingly amongst the most popular bike launches this year. The quirkiness of the motorcycle caught the attention of many enthusiasts, and it showed in the views of its launch article. We also rode the bike comprehensively and compared it with the Royal Enfield Hunter 350, besides doing the detailed road test review.
4. 2022 Yamaha FZ-25
The 2022 edition of the Yamaha FZ25 was launched in January this year. Although mechanically it remained the same as its predecessor, the styling received a rather tasteful revision and that must be one of the reasons for its launch story garnering a lot of views. The ex-showroom prices of the FZ25 go up to Rs 1.52 lakh for the S trim which has a few cosmetic add-ons.
Similar to the FZ25, the design was perhaps the main catalyst for the healthy traction that the Jawa 42 Bobber’s online launch story received. Most of us at BikeWale believe that it’s one of the most visually appealing motorcycles in its class. However, the presence of a single seat and a few other aspects make it slightly impractical. You can read its detailed review and comparison with the Royal Enfield Classic 350 by visiting our review section.
The Bajaj Pulsar N160 is the second product based on the bike maker’s new Pulsar platform. And since the brand ‘Pulsar’ has always been popular in India, launch stories associated with it never fail to create a buzz on the internet. The case in point is the Bajaj Pulsar N160 launch update which clinched the second spot in this list.
1. Royal Enfield Hunter 350
It’s not surprising to see the Royal Enfield Hunter 350 top this list for multiple reasons. Firstly, Royal Enfield has always been the most popular brand on BikeWale in terms of searches. Moreover, the Hunter 350 was one of the most anticipated motorcycles of 2022 as it’s targeted at younger riders and is the most affordable product from the brand.
