Raghu Ram, the producer of MTV Hero Roadies says, “This year, Roadies completes a decade as the definitive reality show for the youth of India. And in its 10th year, Roadies enters the new era, where the new struggles with the old for its true place. Is it time for a new generation of Roadies? This question will be answered as Rannvijay, the mainstay of Roadies, takes on the old establishment and its way of getting things done. This season is all about the winds of change, as the new challenges the old in a battle for glory.”

VJ Rannvijay explains, “Raghu and I have always been on the same team. This is the first time that we will be competing against each other due to conflict of opinion. The decade season of MTV Roadies will be packed with excitement and thrill, like all other seasons. I am sure the fans of the show will enjoy and look forward to the season.”

Mr. Aditya Swamy, EVP and Business Head – MTV India explains, “This year we celebrate the decade of a cult called Roadies and of our 10 year partnership with Hero. We call this season Roadies X and this signifies a start of a new era in the journey of Roadies. As the new takes on the old, we put to test a very basic question of life. What does it take to win? Politics or Performance. Hai Dum Ladne Ka?”

Mr. Anil Dua's, Sr. Vice President (Marketing & Sales) – Hero MotoCorp. said, "Hero MotoCorp today is one of the largest corporate promoters of talent in the country on diverse platforms. We have been associated with MTV Hero Roadies since its inception and this season is a celebration of that decade-long association. To bring more attitude, fun and excitement among the contestants, we have brought India’s first on-road-off-road (trans-roader) motorcycle ‘Hero Impulse’ into this cult program. The Roadies will certainly get a ride of their life as they battle it out on the Impulse in some of the toughest terrains. We wish all the contestants of MTV Hero Roadies-10 all the very best. Ride safe and have fun.”

The participants are expected to be of 18 years and above, who have a valid two wheeler license.

While it will be extremely exciting and engaging to watch Raghu and Rannvijay battle it out, bringing back some of the most interesting ex-Roadies will also add an extra punch and dynamics to the show this season.
