Bajaj Auto

Bajaj Auto dan Triumph Motorcycles telah pun memulakan beberapa sesi ujian terhadap motosikal berkapasiti kecil hasil kerjasama kedua-dua pihak sejak setahun lalu. 

Setakat ini, kami difahamkan bahawa terdapat dua model yang akan ditawarkan hasil daripada kerjasama itu membabitkan model 250cc dan 400cc dengan kedua-duanya dikuasakan enjin satu silinder.

Pada masa sama, laporan terkini mendakwa terdapat empat varian akan ditawarkan termasuk, scrambler, roadster dan cafe racer. 

Perkembangan itu sudah pun dijangka dengan Bajaj menawarkan Dominar 250 dan Dominar 400 ketika ini. Sekaligus memberi bayangan model Triumph itu juga akan digerakan platform sama. 

Hasilnya, kami jangkakan model 250cc itu akan menawarkan sekitar 27hp manakala varian 400cc pula sekitar 40hp, angka kuasa sama yang dihasilkan Dominar 250 dan Dominar 400 ketik ini. 

Dalam pada itu, ciri lain seperti sistem ABS dwi-saluran, klac slipper/assist, panel meter digital, fork USD, rim 17-inci dan lampu LED dijangka didatangkan secara standard. Beberapa gambar ‘spy shot’ yang dkongsikan sebelum ini juga mengesahkan perkara itu. 

Bagaimanapun, terdapat beberapa ciri yang dijangka membezakan antara keempat-empat varian itu seperti gambar yang disiarkan sebelum ini. Antaranya ekzos berkembar pada model scrambler dan ekzos tunggal pada varian roadster. 

Bajaj Auto hopes to venture into the premium electric bike segment with the help of their Austrian partner, KTM.

  • The Chetak electric scooter is Bajaj’s first attempt at electric two-wheelers.
  • The Chetak is currently on sale in 27 cities in India.

Currently, the Indian motorcycle company already has its own electric scooter on sale in India, namely the Chetak.

The Chetak is doing pretty well in terms of sales volume, with over 14,000 units delivered to customers across the country while 16,000 bookings are in the pipeline as of June 2022.

Despite the initial sales was only for Pune and Bengaluru, but due to the high demand, the Chetak electric scooter are now available at 27 cities across India.

However, the next step for Bajaj is to foray into the high-end electric bikes, as confirmed by Rakesh Sharma, Executive Director Bajaj Auto.

“We are in discusiion with KTM, there is a joint work going on where we are looking at platforms for high-end electric motorcycles.

“The plan is on our radar and will be announced at the right time,” he said.

Bajaj is set to kickstart its electric two-wheelers production at a new facility beginning June 2022.

The Indian manufacturing giant invested more than USD40mil towards the new production facility dedicated solely to produce electric motorcycles.

The new facility will not only be responsible to produced the Indian brand electric two-wheelers but also for the upcoming Husqvarna Vektorr and the highly anticipated E-Pilen.

According to reports, the factory boast a massive 500,000 sqft of land and is capable of producing around half a million electric vehicle in a year.

The new plant is responsible not only assembly but also fabrication, painting and quality assurance.

Most importantly, all vehicles produced from the new facility will not only be sold in India but also other for other markets including Asia and Europe.

Triumph Motorcycles is soon to announce a new range of small and medium capacity bikes in collaboration with Indian firm Bajaj Auto.

Triumph penned a deal with Bajaj back in January 2020 to develop a new range of so-called ‘baby’ Triumph that would sit between 200 to 750cc model range.

While the Covid-19 pandemic has pushed back the new model’s unveiling, according to Triumph Motorcycles Head of Brand Management, Miles Perkins, plans are still on track.

“That’s going great guns, I have seen the development motorcycles and the prototype for those, it’s all on track.

“We haven’t yet confirmed exactly what the bikes are and exactly when we will launch them but the news is forthcoming soon,” he said.

Interestingly, the latest update suggests that the new range will be sold globally, dismissing the earlier reports that Triumph intends to target only the Asian markets.

Meanwhile, Triumph is currently busy updating its 2022 range starting with the recently launched new Tiger Sport 660. The British firm is also set to unveil the new Tiger 1200 range after dropping a few sets of teaser photos and videos of the new adventure bike.

Bajaj Auto is set to introduce an updated version of the Dominar 400.

According to reports, the new Dominar will sport a new styling for 2021, including new colour options, presumably the same dual-tone colour schemes introduced for the 2021 Dominar 250.

While detailed information is yet to be obtained other than word of mouth from Bajaj dealers in India, we can expect a minimal styling update done to the flagship motorcycle.

The facelift Dominar will continue to offer the same 373.3cc engine capable of delivering 40hp @ 8,800rpm and 35Nm @ 6,500rpm while mated to a 6-speed transmission.

The 2021 model will utilize the same 43mm upside/down front forks, preload-adjustable monoshock with Nitrox, 320mm front disc and 230mm rear disc and dual-channel ABS.

Pengeluar motosikal India, Bajaj, bakal melancarkan Pulsar 250 serba baharu pada November ini selaras dengan sambutan ulang tahun ke-20 jenama itu.

Difahamkan, Bajaj merancang untuk memperkenalkan Pulsar 250 lebih awal namun ditangguhkan ekoran pandemik Covid-19.

Sementara itu, Pengarah Urusan Bajaj Auto, Rajiv Bajaj, mengesahkan bahawa dua versi Pulsar akan dilancarkan membabitkan model Pulsar 250 (naked) dan Pulsar 250F (semi-fairing).

Meskipun terdapat beberapa gambar ‘spy shot’ yang dikongsikan sebelum ini, namun ciri sebenar masih tidak didedahkan setakat ini.

Apa yang pasti, Pulsar 250 akan tampil dengan ciri lebih moden antaranya penggunaan lampu LED penuh berbanding Pulsar NS/RS 200 yang masih menggunakan lampu jenis halogen.

Sementara itu, tidak dipastikan sama ada Pulsar 250 ini akan turut dijenamakan semula oleh Modenas untuk pasaran tempatan pada masa akan datang.

Bajaj Auto may be planning to introduce another electric two-wheeler to join the current Chetak range available in the country.

This was based on a new trademark filed with the name ‘Freerider’ under Class 12, which covers various mobility types, including electric vehicles.

*KTM Freerider E-XC

Since KTM has its own electric motorcycle coincidentally holds the same name, the Freerider E-XC, it further fuels speculation that the Bajaj Freerider will be an electric motorcycle.

According to reports in India, the Bajaj Freerider is likely to use the same platform from the Husqvarna E-Pilen concept, including the chassis and suspension systems.

The E-Pilen is equipped with a 10.73hp electric motor with a range of around 100km, making it suitable for urban rides.

Pengeluar motosikal India, Bajaj Auto, dilaporkan bakal memperkenalkan Pulsar RS250 tahun ini.

Model tersebut bakal dilancarkan bersama dengan model Pulsar NS250 yang telah pun didedahkan menerusi imej ‘spyshot’ yang tular Februari lalu.

Pulsar RS250 dan NS250 merupakan versi yang telah dinaik taraf daripada model 200cc yang masih lagi ditawarkan ketika ini.

Menurut laporan media di India, RS250 dan NS250 dibangunkan dengan platform enjin satu silinder sama yang terdapat pada KTM Duke 250.

Menariknya, versi 250 ini didakwa akan didatangkan dengan lampu LED serta paparan digital LCD penuh seperti yang terdapat pada Dominar 250.

Walaupun tiada info lebih terperinci didedahkan ketika ini namun Bajaj dijangka akan melancarkan kedua-dua model tersebut sekitar tahun ini.

Dalam perkembangan lain, Modenas dilaporkan bakal melancarkan generasi baharu Dominar 400 tidak lama lagi.

Sejak dilancarkan pada 2018 dengan penjenamaan semula oleh Modenas, motosikal segment ‘touring’ itu merupakan model 400cc paling mampu milik ditawarkan ketika ini dengan harga bawah RM15,000.

Versi baharu Dominar bakal tampil dengan pelbagai ciri dinaik taraf antaranya enjin DOHC, ekzos berkembar, kuasa lebih tinggi, fork USD serta fungsi ‘gear indicitor’.

India has been making headlines the past few months as the country struggles to cope with the coronavirus pandemic.

As of April 28, the country recorded the highest ever spike of 360,960 new Covid-19 cases and 3,293 deaths within 24 hours.

The considerable spike resulted in hospitals and health institution facing an extremely short supply of oxygen, a necessity in treating Covid-19 patients.

As industrial oxygen is a key component in manufacturing, several of India’s motorcycle and auto manufacturers announced the decision to shut down their factory for a few days to divert the use of liquid oxygen to battle Covid-19.

Last week, India’s Ministry of Home Affairs announced a ban on the use of industrial oxygen from April 22 to ensure zero restriction on the movement of medical oxygen.

Key players such as Honda India and Bajaj Auto are manufacturers who announced a temporary shutdown of their manufacturing plant.

The next generation Bajaj Pulsar 250 is in the pipeline, with the India automaker is seen testing out the production-ready motorcycle.

Rumoured to be based on the same 250cc powered the Dominar 250, reports in India suggest that the Pulsar 250 will carry an all-new design input and will not follow the current Pulsar 200.

We can assume the Pulsar 250 to adopt the latest specs in terms of full LED lighting, dual-channel ABS, and fully digital meter in terms of features.

Nonetheless, the 250c variant is expected to maintain some features from the 200, such as the alloy rims and rear hugger.

The 248.7cc single-cylinder DOCH liquid cool engine produced 27hp @ 8,500rpm and 23.5Nm @ 6,500rpm and paired to a 6-speed transmission with assist & slipper clutch.

The all-new Pulsar 250 is expected to be launch this year.

Pengeluar motosikal India, Bajaj Auto, telah memulakan ujian jalan raya bagi generasi baharu Pulsar 250.

Daripada gambar spyshot yang dikongsikan, jelas menunjukkan Pulsar 250 didatangkan dengan rekaan serba baharu.

Gambar tersebut turut memberi bayangan bahawa Pulsar 250 tampak lebih besar berbanding varian 200cc dibantu dengan kerangka serta enjin baharu yang terdapat pada Dominar 250.

Enjin satu silinder 248.7cc DOHC dengan penyejukan cecair itu menawarkan 27hp pada 8,500rpm serta 23.5Nm pada 6,500rpm dan dipadankan bersama transmisi 6 kelajuan dengan bantuan klac assist/slipper.

Motosikal ini juga bakal dilengkapi ABS (dwi-saluran) berbanding satu saluran yang terdapat pada versi Pulsar 200.

Ketika ini, motosikal Pulsar dipasarkan di Malaysia di bawah payung Modenas dan menawarkan Pulsar NS160, NS200 serta RS200 termasuk Dominar D400. – BW

Recently, Bajaj allegedly will introduce a 400cc version of the Pulsar RS, sharing the same platform as the Dominar.

However, the latest updates suggest that the Pune-based motorcycle manufacturer will launch a 250cc version of the Pulsar NS and RS later this year.

The report indicates that Bajaj has produced a prototype of the 250cc twins with the road testing will commence soon.

*Bajaj Dominar 250

The report came as no surprise as Bajaj has already introduced a 250cc version of the Dominar and is enjoying considerable success in India.

That said, we can expect the Pulsar NS250 and RS250 to come equipped with the same component as you get on the Dominar 250 such as inverted fork and LED headlights.

Currently, the 248.8cc single-cylinder engine that powers the Dominar 250 produces 24hp @ 8,500rpm and 23.5Nm @ 6,500rpm.
