The Indian Motorcycle of the Year was in its 18th iteration this year, and the TVS Apache RTX came out on top as the IMOTY 2026. Considered to be the most revered and sought-after award, the IMOTY is the most transparent, real and independent assessment helmed by the leading names in Indian automotive journalism, including Overdrive's Editor, Mr Kranti Sambhav and Assistant Editor, Mr Rohit Paradkar, and is awarded to the best new motorcycle launched in the current year.

Is it still about the car?
The Tata Sierra was easily the biggest launch of the past year, and the quite rare event of a car being actually quite new. Now factor in the master stroke that Tata Motors has played of cashing into 90s nostalgia, and you have a car that blew up the internet. As is part of the job of a journalist these days, you need to be riding this wave of interest or risk being forgotten. Or even worse, becoming irrelevant. So for the past couple of months, I’ve found new ways to talk about the Sierra over and over again. In 30s reels, on video and in the written word.

The Unequal Road!
Imagine a traffic crossing where a car driver and a motorcyclist jump the red light. Now imagine the cop snatching the keys from the vehicle. In your imagination, did the cop take the motorcycle keys or the car's? You thought of a motorcycle, didn’t you? It’s difficult to imagine a cop snatching a car key—unless it’s an old Maruti 800, an Alto, or maybe a small commercial four-wheeler. With motorcycles, it feels obvious. Yes, the number of traffic violations is much higher in the case of two-wheelers, but the treatment? Well, that’s a different sociological study altogether. The law may be the same for everyone, but its enforcement is not.
