Bajaj's Answer To Suzuki Access
Friday, February 27, 2009
Bajaj showcased the all new blade scooter at the Auto Expo in 2006 and it is expected that it will be launched in 2010. Presently Bajaj India is offering only one scooterette - The kristal - which has failed to inspire the Indian customers unlike activa and scooty pep. In the mean while Suzuki Access and Kinetic sym flyte made a new 125cc segment in 2007. Both access and flyte are received well by the customers and posting good numbers every month.
Bajaj will make its debut in 125cc segment with the new ‘Blade 125’. Disc brakes, Telescopic front fork and superior suspension settings will set a new benchmark for other scooters. Blade is not just for commuting- it is expected to be peppy and compete even with the motorcycles. The 125cc engine will feature proven DTSi technology and the presence of four valves will help in efficient charging/discharging and hence we can expect improved fuel efficiency figure from blade 125cc DTSi.
The scooter has a front fuelling system and large 12-inch alloy wheels. The new blade 125cc DTSi will target not just the girls but the young males. More about Blade 125 DTS-i when it is launched. Watch this space....
