Hero Honda to focus on 100cc bikes

The Tribune, Chandigarh, India - Business

Quote:

With an eye on volumes to arrest erosion in the crucial market share, Hero Honda has decided to strengthen presence in the 100-cc segment where it will launch new bikes, Hero Honda Managing Director Pawan Munjal said.

Hero Honda’s plan to strengthen its portfolio in the low-margin 100-cc segment comes at a time when its close rival, Bajaj Auto, which is gradually eating into its market share, has made it clear that it would ultimately exit the segment and make 125-cc as its entry-level portfolio.

Mr Munjal said the company had planned a slew of launches to strengthen its offerings in the market.

The bikes to be launched would include a 100-cc motor cycle and one in the premium segment.

The 100-cc segment has been the mainstay for Hero Honda where it dominates.

As it pumps in new models in the market, the company is also ramping up the production capacity to meet possible demand.

How disappointing.

But not surprising.

What where they focussed on for all these years

Please enlighten me

Lets ban all the bikes > 100 cc - they are anti-national with respect to their specs and what they could give the Indian Biker in form of freedom - freedom to choose

Re: Hero Honda to focus on 100cc bikes

well, they did try all sorts of crap with the CBZ Xtreme, Karizma(which was good though) and other Ambitions (With the REGAL CREST :yuck: ) and all....

I think they finally realised they suck at making bigger bikes
