AFTER THE COVID-19 DROUGHT, THE motorcycling sphere has gained colour and variety over the past one year. Some great motorcycles and scooters were launched and they were spread across the segments. There was something for everyone to look forward to and that was, perhaps, one of the highlights of the year. It is also worth noting that we had a considerable number of new launches in the premium motorcycle segment. Over the past 16 years, the Bike India Jury has always selected the best and deserving bike for the Two-wheeler of the Year award, and this year was no different.
The Bike India Awards 2022 began with some retrospection about new launches over the past year and then proceeded to a strict jury round. Our experienced jurors evaluated each two-wheeler on the respective product’s most relevant traits and overall ability in their specific segments. In the end, it was not easy to pick outright winners in some categories because the competition was quite close, but there can be only one winner and our jurors have done their best to do justice to each machine. The next big challenge was the main prize, Two-wheeler of the Year. Over the next few pages, you will find the winners in each category and also the winner of the most coveted Two-wheeler of the Year award.
THE JURY MEET
As always, the jury spent their time diligently testing every single two-wheeler contending for top honours. The contenders consisted of new model-year motorcycles and scooters which were launched in India in 2021. Only the winners in each category or sub-segment make it to the final short-list comprising those vying for the Two-wheeler of the Year award.
