Bajaj plans to introduce "Cruiser Sport" motorcycles in India

After the introduction of the Pulsar RS (Race Sport) and AS (Adventure Sport) series of motorcycles, Bajaj Auto is mulling the introduction of a new range of motorcycles in India under the Pulsar brand name. This new range will be called CS (Cruiser Sport).

Bajaj had displayed the CS400 at the 2014 Auto Expo. The bike is a naked street fighter with a 375cc, 4-valve triple spark, fuel-injected engine and a 6-speed gearbox. The power and torque figures have not been disclosed. The bike has single disc brakes at the front and read with ABS. Other features include an inverted front suspension, monoshock rear suspension, a short, side-mounted exhaust, all-digital instrumentation and alloy wheels. The concept also had all LED lamps.

It is possible that a 200cc version of the CS range (CS200) makes it to the market as well. It could share the RS200's 199.5cc and 6-speed gearbox. This single-cylinder, 4-valve, liquid-cooled Triple Spark DTS-I power plant is capable of producing 24.2 bhp @ 9750 rpm and 18.6 Nm of torque @ 8000 rpm.

Bajaj has lost a lot of ground to its competitors in the two-wheeler market. With the introduction of new models, it is trying to regain some of the market share.
