So, now its Bajaj ready to entre in 300 cc market with BAJAJ PULSAR 375CC .......
India’s most loved sportsbike which rulled the segment of 150cc & 180 cc is about to get bigger, racier and better than ever before. It’s still a few months from road ready, with Bajaj presently focusing on introducing the exciting KTM 390 Duke, but its known that the team at ‘**Ahead’ (Bajaj R&D) is working to ready a neatly faired-in, approximately 375cc all-new Pulsar that will debut across India later within this calendar year, in 2013.
The big new and faired-in Pulsar shall aim to be a bold new segment driver when it hits Indian roads, by offering biking enthusiasts here a level of style and performance never previously available with any Pulsar. The new Bajaj flagship is styled to draw eyeballs, its mean Yamaha YZF-R1 resembling dual-headlights seen peering out in the set of detailed frontal images available with us; a spy photo and an exclusive rendering. Clip-on handlebars will be standard, and expect a sporty, compact cockpit layout, with comprehensive instruments and Bajaj typical good quality switchgear.
The upcoming larger capacity Pulsar will share its basic four-stroke and single-cylinder engine platform with the KTM 390 Duke, so expect a full complement of close to 45 aggressive horses, with ample modern technology packed in, including a six-speed, close-ratio gearbox, liquid-cooling system and four-valve equipped head, apart from an array of other goodies. The big Pulsar’s engine will be tailored and fine-tuned to suit its new role and having recently ridden and experienced the 390 firsthand, we expect a refined rev happy powerplant that will deliver nothing short of blistering performance for the class, with quick acceleration and a top speed easily in excess of 150kph.
This sporty new Pulsar will use standard telescopic fork front suspension, while you can expect to see a monoshock doing duty at the rear. Single rotor disc brakes can be taken for granted front and rear, the front using a petal shape rotor for better heat dissipation. An ABS braking system should be optional, as already seen on the KTM 390 Duke.
