Bajaj Kratos 400 Price

Bajaj has always been aggressive with pricing. The company is looking at pricing lesser than the KTM Duke 390. The idea is to offer more features, better comfort at an affordable price. Even though the new bike ins’t competing with the Duke 390, it will be made more affordable. So, we expect the on-road pricing of this bike to be about INR 2.1 lakhs (on-road). In ex-showroom talk, it should be a bit more expensive than the RE Himalayan as it will boast more features and even safety features.
