      Bajaj Pulsar N125 – What to expect?

Upon launch, the Pulsar N125 will primarily rival the likes of Hero Xtreme 125R and TVS Raider 125.

      Other highlights include a split seat design, robust grab rail, short tail section and rear tyre hugger. Riding stance is quite comfortable with wide, pulled-back handlebar and centrally mounted foot pegs. The pillion seat appears to be a bit narrow, but should be fine for urban commutes.
      New Bajaj Pulsar N125
      Tech package
      Tech kit onboard the Pulsar N125 will include an all-digital instrument console. It could be the same or something similar to the new units seen onboard the updated Pulsar bikes. Riders will be able to access a range of information such as real-time fuel economy, average fuel economy, gear position indicator and distance-to-empty readout. The digital console is likely to get support for Bluetooth connectivity.
      New Bajaj Pulsar N125
      Various possibilities exist such as accessing mobile notifications on the digital console. With Bajaj Ride Connect app, users will be able to take calls, SMS and see missed call notifications. It remains to be seen if turn-by-turn navigation is part of the package with Pulsar N125. With the Bajaj Connect app, users can also access riding tips and owner’s manual.

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

      by

      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

      Bajaj Dominar 125 Likely To Be The Name Of Upcoming Bike – New Spy Shots

      by

      Bajaj Dominar 125When launched, upcoming Bajaj Dominar 125 spied could boast best-in-class performance, acing Hero Xtreme 125R and TVS Raider 125
      Bajaj Auto has a very successful sub-brand on sale in the form of Pulsar. Not only in India, Pulsar range has also seen great reception in global markets. Boosting the appeal of its flagship Dominar sub-brand ahead of the festive season, Bajaj is testing a new motorcycle speculated to get a 125cc engine.
      Upcoming Bajaj Dominar 125 Spied
      As per our sources, this motorcycle might be called Bajaj Dominar 125, expanding the Dominar sub-brand and expanding 125cc motorcycle portfolio. Recent spy shots of this upcoming motorcycle give us a closer look. Latest spy shots of the Bajaj Dominar 125 are credited to automotive enthusiast Aman Kharat.
      Bajaj Dominar 125
      Pulsar has been a best-seller in premium commuter motorcycle and high-performance single-cylinder motorcycle segments. Pulsar is also Bajaj’s best-selling sub-brands as well. Within the Pulsar sub-brand, it is the 125cc offerings that top company’s sales charts every single month. Dominar lineup, however, is nowhere as popular.
      So, it is only logical for Bajaj to expand its 125cc portfolio with Dominar name. That is exactly what Bajaj seems to be doing. As suggested by our sources, the upcoming Bajaj 125cc motorcycle, speculated to be a Pulsar N125, might be called Dominar 125 up on launch. It will take on the likes of Xtreme 125R and TVS Raider 125.
      Bajaj Dominar 125
      Currently, Bajaj offers Pulsar 125 (Classic) and Pulsar NS125. The new Dominar 125 will be positioned above NS125 with more features to rival the TVS Raider 125. It needs to have the design and road presence of Hero Xtreme 125R, which is gaining popularity. Looking at the spy shots, Bajaj seems to have got the design right.
      Bajaj Dominar 125
      We can see a muscular-looking sporty motorcycle with a lot of attitude. There is a split seat setup, a conventional single-piece grab rail and a tyre hugger. Fuel tank looks neatly contoured with muscular tank shrouds. Previous spy shots show a new LED headlight setup with halogen turn indicators all around.
      Front suspension looks beefy and Bajaj might be offering fork covers, similar to what we saw with Freedom 125. Alloy wheels look identical to what we saw with the Pulsar P150 (RIP). Other notable elements include rear mono-shock suspension setup, an underbelly exhaust and a fully digital instrument cluster.
      What features can we expect?
      We hope this instrument cluster offers turn-by-turn navigation to better position itself against TVS Raider 125. ORVMs look large and there is a disc brake at the front. Sadly, the rear gets drum brakes only. There is a possibility of Bajaj offering single-channel ABS as well.
      Powertrain-wise, Bajaj will offer competitive performance as per the segment. Upcoming Bajaj Dominar 125 might boast best-in-class performance metrics, positioning itself at the top of its segment. Considering the test mule sighting frequency, one can speculate that the company might launch it by 2024 end.
