    New Bajaj Pulsar 400 Vs Rivals – Duke 390, Dominar, Triumph 400, Apache 310, Harley 440

    Bajaj Pulsar NS400 Vs RivalsWhere rivals are concerned, Bajaj Pulsar NS400 lock horns with Speed 400, Mavrick 440, Apache RTR 310, Harley X440, 390 Duke, Dominar 400, CB300R and the likesThe excitement in Indian motorcycling fraternity is off the roof at Bajaj’s facility where the company just launched its ‘Biggest Pulsar ever’. With the launch of Pulsar NS400Z, Bajaj is bringing the vastly popular Pulsar brand to a whole new level where performance single-cylinder motorcycles are concerned in India.New Bajaj Pulsar 400 Vs RivalsThe most anticipated Pulsar NS400Z is launched by Bajaj at a brilliant introductory price of Rs. 1.85 lakh (ex-sh). We’re sure this aggressive pricing is stirring the hearts of innumerous Pulsar maniacs in India. It rivals the likes of Triumph Speed 400, TVS Apache RTR 310, Hero Mavrick 440, KTM 390 Duke and Bajaj’s own Dominar 400. To some extent, Pulsar NS400 also rivals Harley-Davidson X440, Honda CB300R, BMW G 310 R and Yezdi Roadster.Bajaj Pulsar NS400ZTo keep costs in check, Bajaj Auto is offering the same 373cc engine as Dominar 400. In effect, Pulsar NS400 is essentially the Pulsar NS200 with its perimeter frame, but packs Dominar 400’s 40 bhp and 35 Nm engine. Owing to its power cruiser genre, Dominar 400 weighs a hefty 193 kg. With Pulsar NS400, weight is more manageable at 174 kg.The most powerful offering of this bunch is the KTM 390 Duke at 45 bhp and it comes at a premium costing Rs. 3.11 lakh (ex-sh). Except for Hero and Harley duo, all other motorcycles here get a DOHC 4V head along with liquid cooling. Owing to their smaller displacements, TVS Apache RTR 310 and Honda CB300R pack less performance. But they weigh less to make up for it. Especially the Honda CB300R at just 146 kg, is the lightest in this bunch.Bajaj Pulsar NS400 Vs RivalsWheelbase is the longest with Dominar 400 at 1,453 mm and it suits the bike’s power cruiser genre. All motorcycles offer a seat height of around 800 mm, while KTM 390 Duke has the tallest seat height at 830 mm. Ground clearance is 180 mm with 390 Duke, highest in this comparison and it also has the biggest fuel tank of this bunch at 13.4L. The new Pulsar NS400Z has 12L tank.Cycle parts150-section rear tyre is the norm in this high-performance single-cylinder motorcycle space and Pulsar NS400 slightly disappoints in this regard with a 140-section rear tyre. However, Harley X440 packs 140-section while Yezdi Roadster’s is 130-section. All motorcycles get dual disc brakes at both ends along with dual-channel ABS. Pulsar NS400 now packs floating disc brakes, 5-way adjustable levers, ABS ride modes, traction control system and ride-by-wire throttle.Where features are concerned, no motorcycle on this list can hold a candle against Apache RTR 310. TVS has thrown everything on Apache RTR 310 including custom BTO packs to individualise the bike further. TPMS, quickshifter, cooled seat, cornering ABS, cruise control, cornering TCS, cornering cruise control are wheelie control are some of the features that TVS Apache RTR 310 offers.Bajaj Pulsar NS400 Vs RivalsKTM 390 Duke offer a few of these attributes too. Suspension-wise, only the Hero Mavrick and Yezdi Roadster lack USD front forks, while others offer them for better handling characteristics and premium appeal. Except for the Hero-Harley duo and Yezdi Roadster, all other motorcycles pack a sportier mono-shock rear suspension setup.Stellar pricing by Bajaj AutoAll motorcycles offer LED lighting elements in their headlights, tail lights and turn indicators. Which is expected at this price point. In terms of instrumentation, Triumph is the only one adhering to semi-digital cluster for retro appeal. Dominar 400, Yezdi Roadster, BMW G 310 R and CB300R pack fully digital clusters, but they don’t feature connectivity attributes. Rest of the motorcycles including the just launched Pulsar NS400 pack phone connectivity with a dedicated app.Bajaj Pulsar NS400ZWhere pricing is concerned, KTM 390 Duke tops everything at Rs. 3.11 lakh (ex-sh). TVS Apache RTR has optional BTO packs that can take the price very high. A few motorcycles on this list like Harley-Davidson X440 have variants that can get pricey. That said, BMW G 310 R is the one that looks like it is priced at a hefty premium. On the other end, Triumph Speed 400 and Hero Mavrick 440 hit the sweet spot.That said, Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z at Rs. 1.85 lakh (ex-sh, introductory), is killer pricing and is likely to tip a lot of potential buyers in its favour over aforementioned rivals. Best part about Pulsar NS400 is that there are no variants. What the company announced, is what you get.Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z Instrument Screen More

    Yamaha 125-150cc ADV Motorcycle Spied Testing – Launch This Year?

    2024 Yamaha ADV Motorcycle SpiedWhen launched in India, Yamaha ADV motorcycle would rival off-road machines like the Hero Xpulse 200 along with upcoming TVS Ronin SCRIndian motorcycle segment is witnessing a surge in demand for ADVs. The wave of adventure motorcycles is on the rise. Buyers and enthusiasts reward manufacturers when they go out of their limbs and launch a proper off-road machine instead of a pseudo ADV. That’s exactly what Yamaha seems to be doing as the first spy shots emerge on the internet.Yamaha ADV Motorcycle Spied Testing In IndiaRemember when Yamaha India Chairman, Eishin Chihana, confirmed in 2022 that an ADV was in consideration for future prospects? He specifically mentioned a displacement class of 125cc to 150cc for their upcoming ADV. Initial speculations suggested a pseudo-ADV based on FZ’s 150cc platform.Yamaha XTZ 150. Image – Daniel MunozHowever, Yamaha seems to be going full regalia on the ADV aspect and is cooking a proper off-road machine for India. Yup! A proper off-roader from Team Blue is soon to be a reality and the first set of spy shots emerge on the internet, confirming just that. Thanks to Akshay Raj and Solomon Daniel, we now have the first set of images of Yamaha’s upcoming off-roader.Looking at the pictures, our thoughts immediately went to WR 155R. However, the exhaust orientation and other finer details suggest this ain’t a WR 155R. Instead, it looks much closer to a Yamaha XTZ 150 sold in Latin markets like Colombia. The pictures also show a saree guard which is not mandated by any other nation. So, this is India-bound for sure.Yamaha ADV Motorcycle Spied – SideOff-road worthy componentryOverall aesthetics of the spied motorcycle matches with XTZ 150. But for India, Yamaha’s premium pricing strategies will require fancier componentry to justify its intended price. In that regard, we get improved braking in the form of rear disc brakes, petal rotors at both ends for better heat dissipation, a fancier master cylinder for front brakes, among others.Yamaha ADV Motorcycle Spied – Ground ClearanceWe can also see round ORVMs and round turn indicators for Indian model. Headlights look like they have LEDs in them, while indicators are halogens. These aforementioned attributes are not seen with Yamaha XTZ sold abroad.Off-road componentry include long-travel suspension at both ends (RSU telescopic at the front and mono-shock at the rear), wire-spoke wheels shod with dual-purpose tyres, up-swept exhaust, beefy swingarm, grippy footpegs for rider, a front beak, a rear luggage rack and more.Yamaha ADV Motorcycle Spied – Saree GuardWhich engine?Yamaha India Chairman, Eishin Chihana, had mentioned a displacement between 125cc and 150cc. If we take a look at Yamaha XTZ lineup, it gets a 125cc, 150cc and a 250cc variant. We would incline more towards a 150cc possibility as it falls in the displacement bracket Chihana had suggested.But there is a possibility of it being a 250cc motorcycle as well, considering the most affordable off-road motorcycle, Hero Xpulse, displaces 200cc. Hero is already testing a 210cc Xpulse, sharing the same 210cc single-cylinder DOHC 4V liquid-cooled engine with Karizma XMR 210.Yamaha ADV Motorcycle Spied – RearEngine seen on the spy shots doesn’t exactly match with any of the 150cc engines Yamaha currently offers in India. So, it would be interesting to see how this motorcycle turns out. Considering most components looked production-ready, launch could happen by the end of this year. Excited? We bet.Yamaha ADV Motorcycle Spied – FasciaSource More
