Bajaj Auto, a leading player in the Indian two-wheeler market, is gearing up for what could be one of its most significant projects in the commuter segment.
Recent sightings of heavily camouflaged test mules in Pune suggest that Bajaj Auto is working on not one but two promising additions to its lineup. Let's delve into the details of these upcoming bikes, their features, and the potential impact on the commuter segment.
Bajaj Swing: A Potential Game-Changer
- Recent trademark filings by Bajaj Auto for names like "Swing" and "Swinger" have sparked anticipation in the biking community.
- A heavily camouflaged commuter motorcycle, possibly named Bajaj Swing or Bajaj Swinger, has been spotted testing in Pune.
- Striking design similarities with the existing Bajaj CT125X suggest a potential addition to the commuter lineup.
- Key features include a distinctive round headlight, robust front forks, and a single-piece seat, aligning with the practical and cost-effective trends in commuter motorcycles.
- Noteworthy additions such as an engine crash guard, saree guard with an integrated footrest, and a rear tyre hugger further enhance the bike's appeal.
- Speculation is rife that this project represents one of Bajaj Auto's most significant undertakings in the commuter segment, aiming to fill a void in the affordable 150cc segment
The Mystery Commuter: CT150X on the Horizon
- The upcoming bike, tentatively called the CT150X, is expected to be launched within a year.
- Design cues similar to the CT125X hint at a rugged and practical approach, catering to a broader audience, especially in rural markets and tier-3 cities.
- Despite the heavy camouflage, key elements such as the front disc size and shape, handguards, and thick footpegs suggest a robust design.
- The 150cc engine, if included, would complement Bajaj's existing 150cc portfolio, including the Pulsar 150 and Pulsar N150.
- This move could position Bajaj Auto as a key player in the affordable commuter segment, addressing the diverse needs of its customer base.

Pulsar P125: A Shift in Strategy
- Bajaj Auto's strategy shift from the Pulsar P150 to the Pulsar P125 signals a response to changing market demands.
- Lackluster sales of the Pulsar P150 prompted the shift, with Bajaj aiming to cater to the growing demand for 125cc bikes.
- The new Pulsar P125, expected to launch soon, retains the design and componentry of the discontinued Pulsar P150.
- Spy shots reveal an attractive silhouette, LED headlight assembly, clip-on handlebars, and a host of modern features.
- Positioned between the OG Pulsar 125 and Pulsar NS125, the Pulsar P125 is likely to be competitively priced, offering a compelling option in the 125cc segment.
