FAQs
Most Popular FAQs for Bajaj Darkstar
-
Bajaj has a task at hand to balance off road capability with on road comfort for the Darkstar.
15 January 2025 10:23Here Bajaj's experience with the Dominar could come in handy. They just need to tweak it for some off road use, but that bike strikes a decent balance for touring.
-
Will the Bajaj Darkstar cannibalize sales of other Bajaj models?
15 January 2025 10:23Bringing more people into Bajaj showrooms could actually help other models. Some will visit the Darkstar, but they'll be leaving with a different Bajaj bike that'd be more suitable for them.
-
Can the Darkstar rival the Royal Enfield Himalayan?
15 January 2025 10:23The Darkstar doesn't have to be better than the Himalayan, just a little different enough for it to find its own niche. The ADV market is big enough for more than one player.
-
Will the Darkstar design be too conservative for the adventure bike market?
15 January 2025 10:23I’m hoping they go bold with design. If you’re going to do ADV bikes, they should look the part, not like a Pulsar with a high fender.
-
Is the Bajaj Darkstar just an adventure dressed Pulsar?
15 January 2025 10:23It will probably be more of a road biased ADV, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. And most riders don’t need hardcore off road capability, a more street friendly ADV could work well for Indian roads and light trails.
