Bajaj Auto has launched the all new sports commuter motorcycle, the Bajaj XCD 135 DTS-Si.

While it is meant for regular use, this bike will be sporty both in its performance and styling. Aimed at the customers in the value segment looking for a sporty alternative, it will have many first-in-class features like a 135cc DTS-Si engine, a 5 speed gear box, auto choke, gas filled Nitrox absorbers, digital speedometer and LED tail lamps. Other significant features, include electric-start and front disc-brake.

With its 10.5 bhp engine, sporty styling, long feature-list and a price of approximately Rs 45,000 (ex-showroom), it will be a very compelling alternative to all lesser performing and conservatively styled 100cc motorcycles in the value segment. The Bajaj XCD 135 DTS-Si will be manufactured in Waluj. There are 5 colors and decal option available, which the consumer can choose from.

 

”This bike is the first of our three launches in the value segment. We already have a very strong position in the entry and the premium segment of the motorcycle market, and now we will have an extremely strong line-up in the value segment as well," said  S Sridhar, Chief Executive Officer (Two Wheelers), Bajaj Auto.
