Bajaj Auto is loading the shotgun for a full-on two-wheeler blitz. Next year, the Pune giant is dropping at least three brand-new Pulsars, a completely overhauled Chetak electric scooter, and a fresh wave of sub-350 cc KTMs and Triumphs – all designed to cash in on the new 18 % GST sweet spot. Oh, and there’s a secret new motorcycle sub-brand coming too. Buckle up.

Pulsar Family Gets Three New Fire-Breathing Siblings

The Pulsar badge is Bajaj’s golden goose, and it’s about to lay some serious eggs. Forget sticker jobs – these three incoming models are getting all-new engines, redesigned frames, and proper digital cockpits that actually look 2026-level cool.

Word on the street: the design DNA will borrow heavily from the razor-sharp NS 400Z. Think angular fuel tanks, full LED everything, clip-on bars angled for aggression, and seats that don’t murder your tailbone on 200 km rides. Bajaj wants the Pulsar to stay the default “I want fun without breaking the bank” choice against TVS Apache and Yamaha R15 crowds.

Expect displacement bumps in the 200–250 cc zone, more torque than your gym bro, and prices that still leave change for petrol and chai.

Next-Gen Chetak: Bigger Battery, Faster Juice, Smarter Brain

The current Chetak is cute, retro, and surprisingly quick for city runs. The 2026 version? It’s going full war mode against Ola, Ather, and TVS iQube.

• Battery upgrade: Jumping past the existing 3.5 kWh pack to something north of 4.5 kWh.
• Real-world range: Targeting 170–180 km on a single charge.
• Charging speed: 0–80 % in under 2.5 hours with the new fast charger.
• Software glow-up: Over-the-air updates, geofencing, crash alerts, and a phone app that actually works.
• Metal body stays: No cheap plastic swap-outs – premium feel intact.

Acceleration will punch harder off the line, top speed will nudge past 80 km/h, and the ride will stay butter-smooth thanks to a tweaked chassis and better heat management. Launch window: Q1 2026.

Sub-350 cc KTM & Triumph Bonanza – Thank You, GST Gods

India’s new 18 % GST slab for bikes under 350 cc just handed Bajaj, KTM, and Triumph a golden ticket. The three-way partnership is cooking up an entire menu of small-displacement rockets:

• KTM corner: Think updated 250 Duke with sharper styling, cornering ABS, and a quick-shifter on higher trims. A baby 125 Duke isn’t off the table either.
• Triumph side: A sub-350 cc Speed 400 rival is locked and loaded – same retro soul, lighter wallet impact.
• Pricing magic: Expect ₹1.8 lakh to ₹2.6 lakh on-road – suddenly premium European badges feel within reach.

Official reveal: sometime mid-2026.
