Bajaj Pulsar SS

Quick Review by Maxabout Team

In the last Auto Expo in 2014, Bajaj has also shocked the audience with its out of the world, 400 cc segment twins. From two different segments, the Pulsars shared the same engine. The SS400, where SS stood for 'Super Sport', is a beast in the gentlemen look. It shares its design with the RS200 but gives a 43 BHP power blow. It is expected with a 35 NM torque value and will be available in the same shades as the RS200 will be available. It also uses the same triple spark technology which is being used on the Pulsar AS and RS series.

The other one from the Auto Expo was the CS400. It shared the same 373.2 cc engine, with a difference in its body style, which matches the cruiser motorcycles. So, here the CS stands for 'Cruiser Sport'. This segment is all about a Pulsar, which is lean and muscular, with a lot more power inside than its looks reveal. It has been beautifully designed, with a simple structure and lesser curves. A totally new exhaust has been planted and the launch plans have not yet been revealed for both the 400 offerings.

About Bajaj Pulsar Brand

Bajaj Autos had a totally new ideology about the Indian motorcycle market some 15 years ago and on 24 November 2001 it was seen in the form of a new lining of motorcycles called as Bajaj Pulsar. Being a scooter based brand, Bajaj had a very tough time switching over into a new segment where the already established firms were having a very good time with their little variety of offerings. Before Pulsar, the Indian market was bent toward small engine motorcycles with no performance expectations and high mileage. Pulsar, at that time changed the traditional biking philosophy and started a new era of speed and performance.

The same spirit has been carried over by the Pulsar from last 14 years and till date; Performance and Pulsars are side by side thoughts in every mind. At the time of introduction, Pulsar's featured all the modern equipment of that time. The disc brake was a proud possession of a Pulsar owner and its muscular appeal was a dream of every teenager. Riding a Pulsar at that time was nothing less than talking to the winds and the same feel can be experienced today also. Bajaj Autos has been updating the technology from time to time and the results are crystal clear.

Bajaj has started the Pulsar with an idea of an ideal Indian performance bike with a balance of economy and sport functionality. Today the ever expanding market has many more challenges and the specificity of every segment has forced the Pulsar to change its form from a basic performance oriented machine to a specific segment competitor. The Pulsar is offered in various engine options staring from 135 cc, then 150 cc, the 180 cc, 200 cc and the favourite of all, the 220 cc. Every engine has the same Pulsar DNA; the pledge to perform remains same whether it’s the oldest one or the youngest one.

Bajaj Autos understands the need of classification of their Pulsars in such a way that everyone finds a suitable on for himself, without going through each one before purchasing. The definition of each different Pulsar lies in its name. Bajaj has coined these terms based on the segment the Pulsar belongs to and also for the purpose of its birth.

Bajaj has classified its Pulsars in every way, making it easy for us to choose what we exactly wish for. From its classic appeal to the modern day technology, Bajaj has balanced everything with its segment differentiation. Go ahead, choose yours.
