PAPS 2026: What Can We Expect in the Two-Wheeler Category?
The Pakistan Auto Show 2026 is set to bring together some of the biggest names in Pakistan’s automotive industry, but for motorcycle enthusiasts, the two-wheeler category could be one of the most interesting parts of the event.
Pakistan’s motorcycle market is changing rapidly. While 70cc and 125cc motorcycles continue to dominate sales, there is growing interest in 150cc, 200cc, 250cc and even larger motorcycles. At the same time, electric scooters and motorcycles are becoming increasingly visible in the market.
So, what can we expect to see at PAPS 2026?
New Asia Could Have Something Interesting
New Asia is one of the brands to watch at this year’s show.
The company has recently entered the 250cc adventure segment with the Carrera 250, making its presence particularly relevant for enthusiasts looking beyond conventional commuter motorcycles.
The big question is whether New Asia will showcase any additional motorcycles, variants or upcoming models alongside the Carrera 250.
For a market that is slowly developing an appetite for affordable adventure motorcycles, any new model in this category could attract significant attention.
What About Atlas Honda?
Atlas Honda will also be one of the most closely watched motorcycle manufacturers at PAPS 2026.
The company’s management has previously indicated that it could consider motorcycles in the 250cc and 500cc categories if demand for larger motorcycles continues to develop in Pakistan.
However, there is currently no official confirmation of a specific 250cc or 500cc launch at PAPS 2026.
That makes the Atlas Honda display particularly interesting. Will we see something completely new, or will the company focus on its existing lineup?
Electric Two-Wheelers Could Be a Major Attraction
Electric mobility is expected to have a significant presence at PAPS 2026.
Brands including Evee, Jinpeng, Nora EV, Nova Mobility and OKLA are among the exhibitors associated with the electric mobility space.
With Pakistani consumers increasingly interested in running costs, charging expenses and alternatives to petrol, manufacturers are moving beyond basic electric scooters and exploring different designs, power outputs and price points.
PAPS could therefore provide an early look at where Pakistan’s electric two-wheeler market is heading next.
GPX Brings More Competition
Another brand worth watching is GPX.
Following its entry into Pakistan, GPX has introduced motorcycles covering a wide range of categories, including the Libre 125, Libre 150, Raptor Plus RZ200, Demon GR200R and Demon GR250R.
Its presence represents another sign that Pakistan’s motorcycle market is gradually becoming more diverse, particularly in the 150cc–250cc segment.
PAPS 2026 could give buyers an opportunity to see how these motorcycles fit into the growing premium and enthusiast-oriented market.
Could There Be an Unexpected New Bike?
This may actually be the most interesting part of the show.
Not every interesting motorcycle at an auto show is necessarily a confirmed launch. Manufacturers sometimes display upcoming products, prototypes, imported models or motorcycles that are being evaluated for the Pakistani market.
That is why visitors should keep an eye out for:
- New 200cc–300cc motorcycles
- Adventure bikes
- Sport bikes
- Higher-powered electric motorcycles
- New electric scooters
- New Chinese motorcycle brands
- Updated versions of existing motorcycles
- Potential 300cc–500cc motorcycles
The Bigger Picture
PAPS 2026 comes at an interesting time for Pakistan’s two-wheeler industry.
The market is gradually moving beyond the traditional commuter-bike formula, with adventure motorcycles, larger-capacity bikes and electric mobility receiving more attention.
Whether PAPS 2026 brings major motorcycle launches or simply gives us a preview of what manufacturers are planning, the two-wheeler section should give enthusiasts plenty to talk about.
And the real surprises may not be the motorcycles that are already announced — but the ones manufacturers have quietly brought to the show.
PAPS 2026 could give us a pretty good idea of what Pakistan’s motorcycle market will look like over the next few years.
