      Bajaj Biggest Pulsar Ever Launch By March 31st? Is It A Rebadged Dominar 400?

      by

      Image for reference onlyCurrently Dominar sales are nowhere close to Pulsar’s and rebadging Dominar 400 as Pulsar 400 could prove a strategic moveThe 300cc to 500cc single cylinder motorcycle segment has seen a lot of action in the recent past. This is currently a hot segment that will yield good profitability for OEMs. Hopping on this train is Bajaj, with its “Biggest Pulsar ever” launch in the pipeline. Bajaj Auto CEO has hinted about the bike’s launch.Bajaj Biggest Pulsar Ever Launch Sooner Than LaterEver since its launch, Pulsar has been the staple premium commuter in Indian market. Pulsar line has irked the fancy of both commuters and thrill seekers alike for its capability of appealing to both audiences. Fast forwarding to 2024, Bajaj is currently struggling to make a mark with its newer and larger Pulsar models.Hence necessitating re-launch of Pulsar 220. Bajaj’s newest Pulsar 250 platform has seen mixed reception from Indian buyers too. On the brighter side of things, larger Pulsars still have a lot of pull and demand when compared to its flagship Dominar lineup. Bajaj Auto CEO, Rajiv Bajaj has confirmed the launch of “biggest Pulsar ever” soon.But how soon? According to what Mr Bajaj had mentioned, the company is launching 6 new Pulsars by the end of this FY. We can count four Pulsars already launched in the form of 2024 versions of updated Pulsar N150, Pulsar N160, Pulsar NS160 and Pulsar NS200. There are two more remaining and one of them is “biggest Pulsar ever”.2024 Bajaj Pulsar NS 200As per the hinted timeline a couple of months ago, Bajaj biggest Pulsar ever could launch by the end of this month. FY 2023-2024 ends on March 31st, with two Puslars short of launching. One Pulsar launch might be new and updated 2024 N250 with USD front forks and a new fully digital instrument cluster, which has already been spotted in testing.Is it a rebadged Dominar 400?Biggest Pulsar ever may be a Pulsar NS or a Pulsar RS with a larger engine. But which engine? Is it the same 250cc engine as Pulsar N250 and Pulsar F250? Is it KTM’s older 373cc engine used in Dominar 400? Or is it KTM’s newer 399cc engine that made its debut with 2024 390 Duke and recently launched with Husqvarna Svartpilen 401?Or is it the same 398cc engine that is found on Triumph’s new Speed 400 and Scrambler 400X? Bizarrely, Bajaj could even discontinue Dominar lineup and absorb Dominar 400 and Dominar 250 under Pulsar brand too. Mahindra did something similar with its TUV lineup and brought it under the more popular Bolero brand, which worked wonders for TUV.New Bajaj Pulsar N150 and N160 top variantsFueling our speculation, there are no spy shots spotted or reported of Bajaj biggest Pulsar ever. If Bajaj can use Dominar name on Pulsars, it can use Pulsar name on Dominar. So, Dominar 400 as Pulsar 400 might be a reality. Time is ticking for Bajaj, if the company would have to stick with Rajiv Bajaj’s indicated timeline of launching two more Pulsars by the end of FY 2023-2024. More

      by

      2024 KTM RC And Adventure Range LaunchedThe new Black shade on 2024 KTM RC 200 and RC 125 looks the stealthiest among the bunch of colourways that company unveiled with MY2024KTM has been one of the leading performance-oriented motorcycle manufacturers for Indian mainstream audiences. The brand is synonymous with affordable performance and excitement. These motorcycles represent thrill of riding for many and KTM wants to accentuate this thrill with a new set of colours to Adventure and RC lineup.2024 KTM Adventure RangeKTM’s Adventure range has been a pinnacle for the brand since its inception. Adventure range is KTM’s flagship and is the most expensive as well. For MY2024, KTM is still continuing the same tried and tested 373cc platform as before, unlike the Duke, which features KTM’s new 399cc platform, improved componentry and other upgrades.For MY2024, Team Orange is offering new colourways, grabbing eyeballs of prospective customers. Both 2024 250 Adventure and 2024 390 Adventure get new colourways. Starting with KTM 250 Adventure, the company has offered a new Lunar Grey shade. This is offered in matte finish which looks subtle, yet striking. Perfectly in sync with KTM 250 Adventure’s character.Where its flagship 390 Adventure is concerned, KTM is offering two new stunning colours. Sticking to its iconic DNA, there is an Orange and Black colourway that looks unmistakably KTM. The other colourway is very enticing too and is likely to appeal to more buyers. This colourway plays with White and Grey shades.2024 KTM 390 AdventureWith both colourways for 2024 KTM 390 Adventure, main frame is painted Orange along with their knuckle guards. Keeping the subtlety, all colourways of 2024 Adventure range get Black wheels. 2024 390 Adventure X and Wire-Spoke Wheel version remain unchanged.2024 KTM RC RangeApart from the Adventure range, KTM’s super-sporty RC range gets new colourways for MY2024 as well. Starting with 2024 RC 390, KTM is giving it a bright, vibrant and scorching KTM Factory Racing Orange colourway. This includes front half of the bike in Orange and rear half in Black along with Orange wheels.Where 2024 KTM RC 200 and RC 125 are concerned, the company is giving them new Black and Blue shades. Personally, this Black on RC 200 and RC 125 enticed me the most and is KTM’s best-looking colourway to date. It is fully black, perfectly complemented by an Orange main frame and a few Orange elements in its fairing.2024 KTM RC 200 BlackI wish KTM offer this Black shade on all of its vehicles in India owing to its clean and uncluttered appearance. If there was an all-black version without much Orange, it would come off as stealthy as well. Powertrains on all of the aforementioned motorcycles have been retained as they used to be.Statement from KTMMr. Sumeet Narang, President (Probiking), Bajaj Auto Ltd. “The KTM RC and ADVENTURE lineup sets the benchmark with unmatched power, torque, and agility, outshining all other motorcycles in its class.
