Bajaj Adventure Bike Spied Testing Again Before Launch

Bajaj Auto's upcoming adventure motorcycle has been spotted testing once again on Indian roads. This latest sighting offers a clearer look at the motorcycle and reveals several important details. Moreover, the test bike appears closer to production than before. The motorcycle is expected to enter the growing entry-level adventure segment. Therefore, it could become a direct rival to the Hero Xpulse 210 after launch. Bajaj may introduce the new model around the festive season this year.

Dual-Sport Design Hints at Off-Road Focus

The test motorcycle carries a typical dual-sport adventure design. It features a compact front fairing and a high-mounted front beak. Moreover, the fuel tank gets extended shrouds that add to its adventure-focused appearance. The motorcycle also comes with an upswept side-mounted exhaust system.

In addition, the overall riding stance appears suitable for rough roads and light off-road conditions. The latest images suggest that Bajaj is preparing a motorcycle aimed at both daily use and weekend touring.

Suspension and Wheels Suggest Adventure Capability

The spy pictures reveal a telescopic front suspension setup with offset mounting. Moreover, the rear section uses a monoshock suspension arrangement. These components indicate a longer suspension travel compared to regular commuter motorcycles.

The motorcycle was also seen with spoke wheels. However, the wheel combination appears to be 19-inch at the front and 17-inch at the rear. Therefore, more clarity will emerge once Bajaj officially shares technical specifications.

Could Use the Pulsar N250 Engine

The engine details remain unconfirmed at this stage. However, visible cooling fins indicate an air and oil-cooled motor. Since the motorcycle was spotted alongside the Bajaj Pulsar N250, it may share the same engine platform.

If Bajaj chooses this route, the adventure bike could use the familiar 249cc engine from the Pulsar N250. However, the company may revise the gearing setup to suit touring and off-road riding requirements.

Expected Features and Launch Timeline

The test bike features a projector headlamp and a fully digital instrument console. Moreover, the rear section carries split LED taillights similar to other Pulsar models. Additional equipment may include Bluetooth connectivity and switchable dual-channel ABS.

Bajaj has not announced an official launch date yet. However, industry reports suggest an arrival during the festive season. The expected price could range between Rs. 1.50 lakh and Rs. 1.70 lakh ex-showroom. Therefore, it may compete against the Hero Xpulse 210 and Kawasaki KLX230 in the Indian market.
