Bajaj to unveil its largest Pulsar model on May 3
What's the story
Bajaj Auto is preparing to launch its most substantial Pulsar model yet on May 3, according to CNBC-TV18.
The Pulsar series, which first hit the market in 2001, has had a significant impact on India's two-wheeler industry.
However, the company has not yet released any images or specific details about this new motorcycle.
Here's everything we know about the upcoming middleweight offering.
Safety features
Anticipated features of the upcoming Bajaj Pulsar 400
The forthcoming Pulsar 400 is expected to incorporate a perimeter frame from the Pulsar NS200, albeit in a slightly modified avatar.
It will likely be equipped with ByBre disc brakes at both ends and a dual-channel ABS, sourced from Bosch.
The suspension duties on the bike would be handled by inverted forks at the front and a mono-shock unit at the rear.
Expected powertrain
Potential engine specifications for the new Pulsar 400
The new Pulsar model might utilize the engine from the Dominar 400, which is based on the engine block of KTM's previous-generation 390 Duke.
This 373cc engine has been extensively modified by Bajaj Auto for a more manageable nature compared to KTM's high-revving mill.
In the Dominar 400, the motor generates 39hp of power at 8,800rpm and a peak torque of 35Nm at 6,500rpm.
