Bajaj Kratos VS400 Updates

Latest Updates
Wednesday, 26 June 2024 11:15 PM The Bajaj Kratos VS400, now known as the Bajaj Dominar 400, has undergone significant updates for the 2024 model year. It features a BS6-compliant 373.3cc single-cylinder engine producing 40 HP @ 8800 rpm and 35 Nm of torque. The bike also comes with a full LED headlight, dual-channel ABS, and USD front forks. I think these updates make it a strong contender in the premium motorcycle segment.
Wednesday, 28 September 2016 07:25 PM The Bajaj Kratos VS400 was scheduled to launch in October 2016 but was delayed to November to capitalize on festive season sales. The bike is expected to be priced between Rs 1.6 to 1.7 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi) and features a unique blend of sportiness and touring capabilities. Its design is inspired by the Ducati Diavel but is more accessible and touring-focused.
Wednesday, 28 September 2016 09:37 AM The Kratos VS400 is based on the Bajaj Pulsar CS400 concept that was unveiled at the 2014 Auto Expo in New Delhi. The production model retains much of the concepts design and features, including the powerful 373.2cc engine and a six-speed gearbox. I believe this continuity from concept to production is a testament to Bajajs commitment to innovation.
Wednesday, 28 September 2016 11:25 PM The Bajaj Kratos VS400 was expected to have a top speed of roughly 150.5 kmph, making it a capable highway cruiser. The bikes design and performance were aimed at creating a new legacy for Bajaj in the premium motorcycle segment.
Tuesday, 27 September 2016 06:39 AM Bajaj Auto decided to launch the Kratos VS400 under a new brand name, Kratos, instead of the Pulsar brand. This move positions the Kratos VS400 as a premium offering above the Pulsar range. The bike is powered by a 373cc engine, similar to the KTM Duke 390, and features Bajajs triple-spark technology. I believe this rebranding strategy could help Bajaj tap into a more premium market.
Tuesday, 27 September 2016 10:58 AM The Kratos VS400 derives its design inspiration from the Ducati Diavel, with a low-slung and butch look. However, it does not adopt a conventional cruiser design, instead blending elements of a cruiser and a street fighter. The bike features a swept-back visor, an all-new LED headlight setup, and a mono-shock rear suspension. I think the styling is a great mix of modern and classic elements.
Tuesday, 27 September 2016 07:27 PM The engine of the Kratos VS400 is a fuel-injected, liquid-cooled 373cc single-cylinder mill, similar to the KTM 390 Dukes engine but tuned differently for touring purposes. It produces around 35 HP and 30 Nm of torque, making it suitable for low-speed usability and highway cruising. The bike also comes with a six-speed gearbox and single-channel ABS.
Tuesday, 27 September 2016 12:54 PM The Bajaj Kratos VS400 uses a perimeter frame derived from the bigger Pulsars and features regular telescopic forks instead of the USD forks seen on the concept model. It also includes disc brakes at both the front and rear, with single-channel ABS as standard and possibly dual-channel ABS as an option. I think the suspension and braking setup should provide a smooth and safe ride.
Tuesday, 27 September 2016 11:11 PM The launch of the Bajaj Kratos VS400 marked Bajajs entry into a new premium segment, directly competing with Royal Enfield. The bike was expected to offer high value for money, nippy performance, and excellent efficiency, characteristics that have been consistent with Bajajs Pulsar brand.
Tuesday, 27 September 2016 04:06 PM The Bajaj Kratos VS400 was initially speculated to be named the Pulsar VS400, but Bajaj decided on the new brand name Kratos, which means the God of Strength in Greek mythology. This change was a last-minute decision, as earlier spy shots showed the Pulsar moniker on the fuel tank.
