    2024 Bajaj Pulsar N125 Launched – New Features, Colours

    2024 Bajaj Pulsar N125With the launch of Pulsar N125, Bajaj has expanded its 125cc lineup, which is its best-selling category and is likely to boost sales further
    Being among the country’s leading 2W and 3W vehicle manufacturers, Bajaj Auto, has been radicalising premium commuter and street motorcycle genre with Pulsar brand. Expanding the Pulsar lineup is the new Pulsar N125.
    Bajaj Pulsar N125 Launch
    With the just-launched Pulsar N125, Bajaj aims to push the sales boundaries and position itself as the country’s best-selling 125cc motorcycle manufacturer. After launching Freedom 125 CNG, which is the world’s first CNG motorcycle, Bajaj came up with the biggest-ever Pulsar in the form of Pulsar NS400Z.
    2024 Bajaj Pulsar N125
    Now, looking at the opposite end of displacement, we have the just-launched Pulsar N125, which is tasked to be the best-selling 125cc bike in India. 125cc Pulsars have been Bajaj’s best-selling category and the company is further expanding its lineup in this displacement class consisting of Pulsar 125 and Pulsar NS125.
    Pulsar N125 appears to be the sportiest of this trio, while Pulsar NS125 looks the bulkiest, owing to its larger proportions and higher weight. Design-wise, the Pulsar N125 emerges as a handsome machine. Sticking with its Pulsar family genes, Pulsar N125 gets an aggressive design. Muscular tank shrouds and edgy headlight design are stand-out elements.
    2024 Bajaj Pulsar N125
    Also notable with Pulsar N125 is a sculpted fuel tank, split seat design, single-piece rear pillion grab rail, a chunky tyre hugger, among others. Like Freedom 125, Pulsar N125 also gets muscular covers on its RSU telescopic front forks, contributing to its macho appearance.
    2024 Bajaj Pulsar N125
    Headlights are LEDs and they are vertically stacked. Rear tail lights are LEDs too and resemble other Pulsars. However, turn indicators are all halogen, unlike Hero Xtreme 125R. Looking at the motorcycle, one can see that the rider’s triangle is fairly upright, but with a slight lean on the handlebars.
    2024 Bajaj Pulsar N125
    Specs and Features
    Where Powertrains are concerned, Bajaj has gone with a 125cc air-cooled single-cylinder motor that is capable of kicking out 11.8 bhp of peak power and 11 Nm of peak torque, mated to a 5-speed gearbox. These are similar numbers to what we saw with the Pulsar NS125, but Pulsar N125 weighs less, giving a better power-to-weight ratio.
    2024 Bajaj Pulsar N125
    Componentry-wise, RSU telescopic front forks, rear mono-shock, front disc brake option, box section swingarm, 17-inch alloy wheels with same design as Pulsar P150’s, among others. Features include a fully digital instrument console with Bluetooth connectivity and a USB charging port. Hero Xtreme 125R and TVS Raider 125 continue to be the primary rivals to Bajaj Pulsar N125.
    In other news, Bajaj Auto share price suffered a massive decline of over 12% on the BSE, down by Rs 1,450, trading at Rs 10,170 currently. Analysts suggest due to the recent Q2 results announced for the FY 2024/25 period and the muted commentary for upcoming festive season.

    Fight for Freedom – Bajaj CNG Bike Name Hits a Legal Roadblock with LML

    LML and Bajaj legal battle over Freedom nameFreedom being a generic term, it is unlikely that its availability or unavailability will have any significant impact on sales
    Earlier this year in July, Bajaj had launched the world’s first dual-fuel CNG + petrol bike named Freedom 125. Just as people were starting to realize its benefits and potential, the bike has run into a lawsuit issue. A trademark violation case has been filed in the Delhi High Court by LML. Bajaj Auto is one of the largest automotive brands in the country. Their share price is at Rs 11,770, at the end of NSE trading day on 4th Oct 2024.
    Bajaj Freedom vs. LML Freedom
    With its technical collaboration with Piaggio, LML came up with popular two-wheelers such as LML Select in the 90s. Various other models were launched and one of these was the Freedom 110cc motorcycle. While the bike is no longer in production, LML claims it still holds the trademark for the ‘Freedom’ name. LML has alleged that Bajaj Auto has used the Freedom name for its CNG bike in an unauthorized manner.
    Freedom trademarks filed by LML and Bajaj
    LML is part of the parent company, SG Corporate Mobility Pvt Ltd. In the case filed in the Delhi High Court, LML has stated that its Freedom motorcycle was a huge success when it was available for sale in India. LML claims that there’s immense goodwill and reputation associated with the Freedom name. It’s true that LML was once a popular brand. However, claims about the popularity of Freedom motorcycle will need to be supported with proper evidence.
    Bajaj Freedom name opposed on trademark portal
    On the trademark search portal run by the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, the LML Freedom word mark is shown to be the property of SG Corporate Mobility Pvt. Ltd. The journal date mentions 5th August, 2024 and the status reads ‘Accepted & Advertised. In comparison, the Bajaj Freedom word mark status reads as ‘Opposed’. It is likely that LML has opposed the use of the Freedom word mark and followed it up with a trademark lawsuit against Bajaj Auto in the Delhi High Court.
    Bajaj files new trademarks
    In the court case, LML has mentioned that it is the rightful owner of the goodwill and reputation linked to the Freedom name. Furthermore, LML says that it is the company’s commitment to protect its trademarks and ensure integrity of the Freedom brand. LML has informed the court that it intends to launch a new range of scooters and motorcycles under the Freedom brand name. This will be done via the sister entity, LML Emotion Pvt. Ltd.
    In 2022, LML had announced plans to enter the EV space. Some of the electric two-wheelers were also unveiled such as LML Star electric scooter and Moonshot electric bike. However, LML is yet to launch any of the new electric two-wheelers.
    Options for Bajaj Auto
    While the name Freedom is associated with multiple benefits that the bike offers, it is not something that is an absolute necessity. Just the CNG tag is enough to ensure marketability of Bajaj Freedom 125. It remains to be seen how Bajaj will respond to the lawsuit filed by LML.
    One way they are likely to take is filing a new name which is not just ‘Freedom’. They seem to have already done that. As per latest data, Bajaj has filed the name – FREEDOM with device of FLYING ‘B’, where the B likely stands for Bajaj. Or, it can use any of the other registered trademark names such as Bajaj Fighter, Bajaj Technik, etc. More
