The Dominar 400 could also share some features with the Pulsar NS400Z.

Bajaj Auto recently launched the most powerful Pulsar yet, the NS400Z. Going forward, the company plans to expand its 400cc line-up, starting with the updated Dominar 400.

According to Rakesh Sharma, Executive Director of Bajaj Auto, the company is working on plans to update its Dominar range of bikes. The facelift version is expected to get a slew of features, including a new TFT instrument console with Bluetooth connectivity and turn-by-turn navigation.

The Dominar 400 could also share some features with the NS400Z. These might include ride-by-wire throttle, switchable traction control and multiple riding modes.

Reports also state that the next Dominar 400 will be much lighter than the outgoing version. Weighing in at 193 kg, the current iteration of the bike is on the heavier side.

The engine, however, will remain the same. The bike will continue to use a 373cc liquid-cooled unit producing 39.5 BHP and 35 Nm. The upside-down front fork and mono-shock rear suspension are likely to be carried over unchanged, along with the brakes.

The CNG motorcycle should be able to cut down on operating and fuel costs by up to 50-65%.

Bajaj Auto is gearing up to launch a CNG-powered motorcycle in India next month. While the company hasn’t shared any information yet, leaked design blueprints have revealed new technical details of the bike.

As per the leaked images, Bajaj Auto’s CNG motorcycle will be based on a double cradle frame. The petrol tank appears to have been reshaped to make space for the CNG tank positioned under the seat.

The bike has a ‘sloper engine’ with the cylinder sitting almost parallel to the rear swingarm. This configuration helps liberate space for all the fuel systems and other ancillaries. The third image shows the tubular chassis of the CNG bike. It shows additional braces and a subframe that holds the CNG tank.

Reports suggest that the upcoming Bajaj CNG bike will use a 110cc single-cylinder engine. The company claims that it should be able to cut down on operating and fuel costs by up to 50-65%.

The new variant could use a 2.9 kWh battery but offer less power than the Urbane and Premium variants.

Bajaj Auto is gearing up to launch a new entry-level variant of the Chetak e-scooter next month. But images of the affordable variant have already leaked online.

At first glance, the affordable variant of the Bajaj Chetak looks similar to the standard model. It is likely to be offered in a range of vibrant colours, including the bright blue seen here. It has a black apron, seat and grab handle and rides on black steel wheels.

The entry-level variant of the Chetak gets a physical key with open cubbies on either side and a monochrome LCD instrument console. Disc brakes have also been replaced with conventional drum brakes.

Interestingly, despite being the affordable variant, this scooter doesn’t have a hub motor. That being said, it is likely to offer slightly less power than the Urbane and Premium variants and could use a 2.9 kWh battery pack.
