Bajaj Auto

Bajaj is renowned for developing many derivatives of their motorcycles so it wasn’t surprising to see them jam the Duke 250's engine under the Dominar's fuel tank. The Dominar 250 was launched shortly before the lockdown ensued and that prevented us from riding and reviewing the motorcycle. But we finally got a chance to swing our leg over the newest addition to the Bajaj family. Targeted at beginner motorcyclists who want to venture into the world of long-distance performance motorcycling, Read More...

Bajaj Auto has extended the variant lineup of its budget commuter motorcycle, the Platina 100, by adding a new disc brake version to the affordable commuter bike. Bajaj has revealed the prices of the Bajaj Platina 100 ES (electric start) in India, which is ₹ 59,373. In comparison, the prices of the Platina 100 ES alloy and the Platina 100 KS alloy (kick start) are ₹ 55,546 and ₹ 49,261 respectively. All prices mentioned here are ex-showroom, Delhi. The Platina Read More...

We previously reported that Bajaj was gearing up to launch the split-seat variant of the Pulsar 125. Confirming the same, Bajaj has launched it at INR 79,091 ex-showroom, Delhi for the disc brake version. If we leave the more premium KTM Duke 125, the Pulsar 125 is the sportiest offering in the 125cc category and enjoys popularity which comes associated with the ‘Pulsar’ brand name. It serves as the entry point in the Pulsar family and has now received a Read More...

The Bajaj Dominar 400 still retains the tag of being the most value-for-money performance motorcycle on sale in India. A great motorcycle to cover longer distances, the Dominar 400 can certainly do with a few more bits which make the ride even better. Bajaj currently doesn’t have any ADV-tourer in its portfolio but if we think about it, the Dominar 400 can actually be utilized in carving an ADV-tourer out of it. Pune's Autologue Design has developed a slap-on kit Read More...

We have come across reports claiming that two-wheeler sales are going to see a spike when the current situation eases because more and more people will incline towards personal mobility solutions rather than opting for public transport. In the past few days, restrictions have been lifted gradually with public transport operations resuming services again but following the social distancing protocol in public transport and that too in an overpopulated country like India seems a bit far-fetched. Given the current situation, Read More...

Bajaj Auto has rolled out the BS6-complaint Platina 100 commuter in the country with a starting price of Rs 47,763 for the base kick-start variant while the top-of-the-line electric start variant will set you back by Rs 55,546 (both prices, ex-showroom, Delhi).  As part of the BS6 update, the Platina 100’s 102cc, single-cylinder engine now gets an electronic fuel-injection system. It produces 7.7 bhp of power and 8.34 Nm of torque and comes mated to a four-speed gearbox. Like most Read More...

It seems Bajaj Auto has decided to pull the plug on the Avenger Street 220 and has removed it from the listings on its official website. The company has recently updated almost its entire product lineup to meet the stringent emission norms. In the process, removing the Avenger 220 Street seems like Bajaj has no plans to launch its BS6 avatar. The Avenger range now consists of two products namely - Avenger Cruiser 220 and Avenger Street 160. While the Read More...

Before the current situation, the automotive sector was already reeling under the effect of a slowdown. Major factors like implementation of new stricter emission norms from BS4 to BS6 can be attributed to this slowdown. However, the impact created by the outbreak of covid-19 worldwide has had a much widening and detrimental effect on the sales of automobiles. The effect has been more prominent in case of two-wheelers in comparison to four-wheeler passenger vehicles. Over the past couple of days, Read More...

Today was supposed to be the last date for the transition from BS4 to BS6 emission norms but the covid-19 scare and the nationwide lockdown made the Supreme Court of India extend this deadline by 10 days after the lifting of the lockdown. This means a buyer can buy and register his/her BS4 vehicle by April 24, 2020 (Delhi is an exception). Although with a large number of BS4 inventory still left unsold, it is highly unlikely it will minimise Read More...
