Bajaj Gixxer Competition – The bike we want?
Bajaj is planning a new bike that could compete with Suzuki Gixer. Since the first Bajaj Pulsar rolled out in 2001. Bajaj and Pulsar have become two inseparable names. Over the period Pulsar has gained popularity in the Indian two-wheeler market. This was one bike that literally helped riders to move on from their all-time favorite Yamaha RX100 when the same was discontinued. With Bajaj introducing new models and making the Pulsar line up the longest list of variants in motorcycles. Although last few years Bajaj seems all caught up with various development plans and this has resulted in the Pulsar getting neglected a bit. But don’t worry; Bajaj is now planning to launch a new version of the Pulsar. Yes, today we are about to discuss the new Pulsar 250F in the Bajaj Gixxer Competition.
Bajaj Gixxer Competition Design
Bajaj will launch the Pulsar 250 in two variants a naked streetfighter bike like the Pulsar NS200 and a full fairing Bike just like the Pulsar RS200. Based on the spy shots and leaked images, where a naked Pulsar 250 was spotted with a projector, LED headlamp along tiny LED DRLs, the front fascia of the new Pulsar 250 resembles somewhat to Yamaha FZ25. The Pulsar 250 also gets a muscular fuel tank section and a sharp tail. The LED turn indicators are the same as that we see on the KTM Duke series.
The full faired Pulsar 250 will get double projector headlamps, a newly designed full fairing with all-new graphics. The engine will be more powerful and bigger than the existing Pulsar NS200. The new Pulsar will get a 248.8CC DOHC engine that will be air-cooled with an oil cooler. The engine will be BS6 compliant and produce 28-29 bhp of power and 24 Nm of torque with a 6-speed gearbox. This engine will be a completely new retuned engine and not the one that we see on the Dominar 250.
