With the two-wheeler market already well into 2026, rider preferences in India are being shaped by experiences, electric mobility and strong community engagement rather than just daily utility, with buyers increasingly choosing electric two-wheelers for lower running costs, adventure tourers for long-distance and weekend riding, and sporty commuters for their balance of performance, mileage and connected features on everyday urban roads. This shift reflects a maturing market where lifestyle, technology and cost efficiency are redefining two-wheeler ownership in India.
Hyderabad has also steadily evolved into a dynamic motorcycling city, powered by a young rider base, improving road infrastructure and growing acceptance of electric two-wheelers. The city today hosts a growing community of sports bike enthusiasts alongside everyday riders, with its riding scene leaning strongly towards immersive experiences, hands-on interactions and large-format festivals that bring together performance machines, EVs, music and community under one roof.
Tapping into the city’s buzzing rider community, Suzuki Matsuri, Motorcycle India’s flagship motorcycling festival, is set to ride into Hyderabad on 25 January 2026 at the Chicane Circuit, Shameerpet. Organised by Suzuki Motorcycle India Pvt. Ltd., the day-long, community-led celebration brings together riders, enthusiasts and families for an immersive motorcycling festival experience.
What makes Suzuki Matsuri special:
- Ride experience of the all-new electric Suzuki e-ACCESS
- Curated riding tracks for scooters, motorcycles and big bikes
- Urban enduro track for V-Strom SX and performance rides on Avenis
- Stunt shows by professional big-bike riders
- Interactions with auto influencers and creators
- Creative zones with tattoo art, helmet art, caricatures and cosplay
- Celebration of Suzuki’s 10 million production milestone
- ‘Post & Win’ contest, lucky draws and official merchandise
- Free service check-up and on-the-spot bookings with exclusive offers
The festival will also feature live performances by Dharmik, Threeory Band and DJ Kim, keeping the energy high all day.
Speaking about the Hyderabad edition, Deepak Mutreja, Vice President – Sales, Marketing, Suzuki Motorcycle India Pvt. Ltd., said, “After successful editions in Delhi, Bengaluru and Mumbai that drew over 10,000 participants, we are excited to bring Suzuki Matsuri to the City of Nizams. Hyderabad’s fast-growing rider community makes it the perfect destination to celebrate motorcycling through on-ground activities, rider engagements and immersive entertainment that reflect the energy of the Suzuki brand.”
