It looks like Bajaj is planning to launch a new 500cc bike and that could be the new Pulsar 500. They have strategically made partnerships with international brands like KTM and Triumph. In this article, we will discuss the Pulsar 500cc that is being planned.

Bajaj Auto has filed a new trademark named ‘Twinner’. This name could be used for a new upcoming motorcycle that will carry a twin-cylinder engine. The trademark certificate has only revealed the proposed name of an upcoming motorcycle. Bajaj Auto is yet to confirm anything regarding this new motorcycle.

What Bajaj and KTM are planning?

Bajaj Auto is already working with KTM on developing a 490cc engine that will be a parallel twin. This engine will be used in upcoming bikes from KTM like the Adventure 490, Duke 490, RC490 and 490 Supermoto/ Enduro. This 490cc parallel-twin engine could also be seen in upcoming motorcycles from Bajaj. Most likely Bajaj could launch a motorcycle with this 490cc engine under the famous Pulsar brand as the Bajaj Pulsar 500 or something similar.

What are Bajaj and Triumph working on?

Bajaj has also entered into a joint venture with Triumph so that they can enter the 200cc to 700cc segment. This segment is currently dominated by Royal Enfield. Looking at the latest trend of retro motorcycles, Bajaj could be planning to launch one with the help of Triumph. This could be similar to the Triumph Bonneville. Currently, Honda has the H’ness CB350, Jawa has its Classic and Forty-two, Yezdi has recently launched its Roadster. To be relevant and updated with the competition, Bajaj might come up with a 500cc retro-styled motorcycle that could compete with the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 and Continental GT650. These bikes also offer a parallel-twin engine setup.
