It will be bigger than the existing flagship Pulsar 250 range. When asked, what will be the engine capacity of this new Pulsar motorcycle, Rajiv Bajaj said details will be revealed at a later date. Rumours suggested that this new Pulsar could be powered by a derivative of Dominar 400 or new KTM Duke 390 engine. In the past we have seen Bajaj launching similar sized engine cc motorcycles with Pulsar which were already seen in the KTM range. After the KTM 200 launch we got the Pulsar 200. After the KTM 250 launch we got the Pulsar 250. Will we get the Pulsar 400 next?New Pulsar 300 Incoming?Sources tell Rushlane that the biggest Pulsar that is getting ready for launch is not Pulsar 400, but Pulsar 300. It will be powered by an all new 294cc engine. With the 300-400cc motorcycle segment registering strong growth, a number of OEMs are targeting this space. Some recent launches include Harley-Davidson X440 and Triumph Speed 400. TVS has also introduced the Apache RTR 310.Bajaj Pulsar 300 could get a new design – Not inspired by Pulsar 250Pulsar bikes have always been preferred for their dominating street presence and powerful performance. The approach will be largely the same for the upcoming 300cc Pulsar. Of course, being the biggest Pulsar, enthusiasts can expect some added dynamism and features. Pulsar 300 will be muscular and aggressive, designed to turn heads of the streets.It will get a digital instrument cluster and Bluetooth based connectivity functions. Bajaj could add USD front forks, while a monoshock unit will handle suspension duties at rear. Both ends will have disc brakes, integrated with dual-channel ABS. For smooth downshifts, a slipper clutch can be provided. Pulsar 300 will have a versatile riding stance, suited for both city streets and highway cruising.Bajaj Pulsar F250While nothing is official as yet, the new 294cc engine to be used with the biggest Pulsar could generate around 30 PS of max power and 25 Nm of peak torque. A 6-speed gearbox could be offered. Pulsar 300 will offer superior acceleration and could have a rated top speed in excess of 140 kmph. Once can expect impressive torque delivery across the rev range. The bike will appeal to folks who crave speed and performance.Biggest Pulsar 300cc will have a seat height of around 800 mm. It will ensure improved control and handling across varied environments. The bike will have ample ground clearance, allowing it to manage some mild off-roads. Fuel tank capacity could be around 15 litres.Bajaj Pulsar 300 – expected priceBajaj has been synonymous with affordability, which explains its soaring popularity across both domestic and international markets. Even with its flagship bike Dominar 400, Bajaj has ensured the most affordable pricing. While the current Pulsar 250 twins are available at a starting price of Rs 1.50 lakh, the new Pulsar 300 will be priced above this, making it an irresistible deal for budding enthusiasts.Bajaj has been targeting the premium motorcycle segment for quite some time now. However, as seen with bikes like Dominar 400, results have not been as per expectations. Hopefully, the new 300cc Pulsar can help Bajaj emerge as a strong player in the premium segment. This year, Bajaj will be launching 6 new Pulsar motorcycles. The company is also planning to launch CNG commuter bikes, which can be real game changer in the two-wheeler industry. More

    Bajaj 100cc CNG Motorcycle Possible – 6 New Pulsar Launches This Year

    New Bajaj Pulsar 220A factory-made CNG motorcycle can be a major disruptor with its low pricing and running costIn a development that could emerge as a game changer in entry-level motorcycle segment, Bajaj has hinted at the possibility of a CNG powered bike. The suggestion was provided by Rajiv Bajaj, Managing Director of Bajaj Auto Ltd. However, such decisions are likely to require the government’s stamp of approval. In case the idea gets the green signal, Bajaj will have the first-mover advantage in CNG motorcycle segment.Bajaj CNG motorcycles – key benefitsRajiv’s suggestion for CNG bikes comes at a time when there has been a major push towards using cleaner and greener fuels. While cars can choose from petrol, CNG, electric, hybrid, plug-in-hybrid, fuel cell, etc., the choices for two-wheelers are limited to petrol and electric. CNG can work as a good option, as it is cheaper in comparison to petrol.Moreover, CNG is less polluting than petrol and ethanol-mix petrol. The latter has issues related to corrosion, which may necessitate the use of special components in the powertrain. Such issues and related costs can be avoided with CNG powered bikes. Rajiv Bajaj has stated that CNG bikes will be cheaper to buy and reduce running costs.A CNG bike seems doable, as we have already seen Activa scooters fitted with CNG kits. Now, if CNG bikes are factory-made directly by an OEM, users can expect better results in terms of price, performance, mileage, durability and safety. Provided that the project gets the necessary approvals, Bajaj will be introducing CNG option for its 100cc – 125cc bikes.CNG bikes to boost salesCNG bikes can help boost sales in entry-level commuter segment. Growth in this space appears to have plateaued, as people are shifting to EVs or higher capacity bikes. Bajaj itself registered sales of 20,000 units of its Chetak electric scooter at the end of June 2023. But that is just around 2% of the company’s total sales in that period. Bajaj expects the EV contribution to increase to around 3-4 percent by end of this year.In ICE segment, around 70% of the company’s sales come from above 125cc bikes. This is why Bajaj has stepped up focus in this space. As part of that plan, the Pulsar 250 twins were launched in 2021. Bajaj has also updated the entire Pulsar range. Bajaj has now hinted at the biggest Pulsar ever, which could be a 400cc bike. Rajiv Bajaj has said there will be 6 new Pulsar launches this year.CNG powered bikes could be a major disruptor. These can attract an entirely new segment of users. For example, folks who may be relying on public transport. CNG bikes could also work for commercial applications. As CNG is far less polluting, there shouldn’t be an issue in having more of these bikes on the streets. The only concerns could be about the safety of these bikes. OEMs will need to design more robust systems that can comply with mandated safety norms.Source More

    Biggest Pulsar Launch This Year, Says Rajiv Bajaj – Pulsar RS400, NS400?

    Bajaj Pulsar 400 RenderAs of now, Bajaj Auto sell Pulsar branded motorcycles ranging between 125cc and 250cc in their engine displacementBajaj Auto MD, Rajiv Bajaj, has promised six new Pulsar motorcycle launches by the end of this financial year. Six new Pulsar motorcycles in itself, is a big deal for the brand. However, there is one Pulsar that could prove more prominent than the others. Rajiv Bajaj hinted at “biggest ever Pulsar” which might very well pack a 400cc engine.400cc Pulsar In The Works?Pulsar brand is one of the most popular among motorcycle enthusiasts in India and many markets across the world. As of now, Bajaj has launched Pulsar motorcycles ranging between 125cc and 250cc. At the lower tier, we have Pulsar 125 and Pulsar NS 125 and we have Pulsar RS200 and more recent Pulsar N250 and Pulsar F250 at the top tier.Bajaj Pulsar NS400 RenderAs revealed by Bajaj MD Rajiv Bajaj, we are getting “biggest ever Pulsar” among six new upcoming vehicles under Pulsar brand. Bajaj Auto intends to launch these by the end of this financial year. Mr Bajaj’s “biggest ever Pulsar” remark is highly likely to mean biggest Pulsar ever with respect to engine displacement, and not biggest Pulsar ever, in terms of size and dimensions.Going by that logic, Bajaj could launch a new Pulsar having an engine displacing more than 250cc. Considering Bajaj has already shared powertrain architectures with KTM, this new upcoming “biggest ever Pulsar” might share its powertrains with Triumph Speed 400 and KTM 390.[embedded content]The company currently sell Dominar 400 which is the biggest Bajaj yet. Dominar 400 shares its powertrain with previous-gen KTM 390 range. So, there is a good probability of this being a fully-faired version of Dominar 400, marketed under Pulsar brand as well. Another probability could be RS200 or NS200’s design and chassis, with a bigger engine.What does Rajiv Bajaj say about “biggest ever Pulsar”?In a recent interview, Bajaj Auto MD, Rajiv Bajaj, revealed there will be six new Pulsars by the end of this financial year. He promised that they have a fantastic product to offer Indian motorcycling enthusiasts. He intends to launch this motorcycle within this financial year so they get a full understanding of its growth and profitability by next year.In the same interview, Mr Bajaj mentioned the company is actively exploring more opportunities in premium motorcycle segment. This is a segment that goes beyond Rs. 1.7 lakh in value and has an engine that is generally beyond 200cc. This is where Bajaj’s current Pulsar RS 200, Dominar range fall, along with partner products from KTM, Husqvarna and Triumph.That said, prospect of a 400cc Pulsar at around Rs. 2 lakh (ex-sh) is very enticing. It could be equipped with a 399cc single-cylinder engine co-developed Triumph, marketed under Pulsar brand. USD telescopic front forks, dual-channel ABS, close to 40 bhp of power, 35 Nm of torque, slipper clutch, ride-by-wire throttle, full LED headlights might be its highlights. Launch is likely to happen in the coming months.Source, Render More
