• Bajaj Pulsar NS160 ABS to be launched soon

  1 April 2019 was the deadline for the CBS and ABS mandate and two-wheeler manufacturers are no longer allowed to produce motorcycles and scooters without these safety fittings as a standard. Bajaj has been one of the first automakers who had started updating their models with the CBS or ABS. However, all the motorcycles have not received the updates officially. The Bajaj Pulsar NS160 is one of the few motorcycles which has not received the update.

  However, the Bajaj dealerships are of the opinion that the NS160 ABS is being processed at the moment and will be launched very soon. Bajaj has successfully updated most of their motorcycles with ABS. These include the likes of the Bajaj Avenger line-up and the Bajaj Pulsar line-up. The Bajaj NS160 ABS can be expected to hit the showrooms by the end of this month. The motorcycle will not get any other technical updates. It will be powered by the same 160.3 cc, single cylinder engine is capable of delivering a max power figure of 15.5 hp at 8,500 rpm and a peak torque of 14.6 Nm at 6,500 rpm.

• Bajaj Auto focussing to make a comeback in the commuter bike segment by 2020

  With an aim of regaining its past demand in the commuter motorcycle segment in India, Bajaj Auto is planning to release new products for strengthening its existing product line up in the next couple of years. In spite of performing well in the entry-level segment with brands like Discover 100/110, CT 100, and Platina and in the sports and super sports segments with products such as Avengers, Pulsars, KTMs, and the Dominar 400, the company couldn't perform sufficiently well in the large commuter motorcycle segment. In fact, it has sold lesser number of bikes than what was expected in this segment.

  However, the chairman of Bajaj Auto, Rahul Bajaj, is quite hopeful about their new strategy and is expecting this gap to be covered in the upcoming two years via its existing and the new products. He also said that the company is particularly focussing on the growth of this critical segment. Till now Bajaj Auto has only 2 motorcycles in this large commuter segment which include the Discover 125 and the V. This is reason that the brand could not perform well in this segment and couldn't fulfil the self-set targets. However, Bajaj Auto is looking forward to its upcoming product line to make a glorious comeback.
