The Atlas Honda Pridor is the bike that sells the least in Pakistan. It was meant to be a high-performing car with smooth suspension, decent off-road capability, good engine performance, and good ride quality in its class. However, for some reason, things didn’t work out as expected, and it didn’t become as well-known in Pakistan as the CD and CG did.

Why is that?

We will now reveal some important details and the main causes of Atlas Honda’s Pridor project’s failure in Pakistan. Did you know that the Honda Pridor’s engine and engineering are the same as those of the Hero Splendor, the most popular motorcycle in India?

CD70 is PKR 51,000 cheaper than Pridor, but CG125 is just PKR 26,000 more expensive.

When purchasing a bike for fuel efficiency, a buyer may opt for CD70 in order to save money. In terms of fuel efficiency, it is more affordable than Pridor.

On the other hand, power users only need to spend an extra Rs. 26,000 to receive CG125. Most customers still favor CD and CG even though Pridor has a better ride, smoother suspension, faster acceleration than CD, and a higher fuel average than 125.

Diminished Value of Resale In the budget utility bike market, Pridor’s resale value isn’t as high as that of CD and CG. 70% of the bikes in any used market are CDs and CGs, as you will observe.

The resale factor is essentially a vicious loop, if you’ve noticed. Because Pridor isn’t well-liked, its resale value is low, which in turn keeps others from purchasing it. Customers still purchase used Pridors, anyway. It will sell for a good price if you only wait a few days or weeks. This bike just doesn’t have a large enough market.

Spare Parts Availability and Pricing

There isn’t much third-party support for Pridor. While it is simple to find non-authentic CD and CG parts, you must use genuine Atlas Honda parts for Pridor spares. While the brake pads, indicators, handlebars, and gasoline tank are shared by this bike and the CG and CD, cosmetic components including the seat, mudguard, headlamp visor, fuel tank, and speedometer are only available as genuine Atlas Honda parts. Genuine AHL parts have the drawback of being pricey for the typical user.

Pros of Honda Pridor

That does not imply that Pridor is being denigrated. Indeed, it is a good bike for a particular market niche. Here are a few benefits of it:

Budget traveler: Pridor can be an excellent choice if you can’t afford YBR, GD110s, or GS150. Although its suspension and seat aren’t as pleasant as the ones stated above, it will nonetheless perform your task for a reasonable amount of money.

Strong off-roader: It has spoke rims that are larger than CD’s. The torque of the engine is very good. It’s a decent low-cost offroader because the suspension isn’t as stiff or bouncy as CG’s or CD’s, and the ground clearance is respectable. These are the two main benefits of the Honda Pridor, as well as the two most distinct customer segments who purchase the Pridor.
