Bajaj to launch XCD Sprint135cc

Most of the riders have expressed disappointment on XCD 135cc after a year long wait for the XCD sprint. But those can breathe easy now! Few days after launching the XCD 135cc, Bajaj has again said the XCD sprint will come soon. Hope the following come true soon.

“The Yamaha FZ16 and the Honda Stunner are products that we should have watched out for. We will shortly launch the Sprint that will compete against the 125cc Stunner. We have to arrest the headway made by competition in these segments. It’s just a matter of time. We have the products to plug the gaps,” S Sridhar, CEO (two-wheelers), Bajaj Auto said on December 25th (four days after the XCD 135cc launch).

XCD Sprint 135cc DTS-Si will come with auto choke, gas-filled Nitrox shock absorbers, digital speedometer and LED tail lamps. Other significant features include electric-start and front disc-brake. .What makes the XCD Sprint 135cc DTS-Si is its compelling price tag. Bajaj says the price of the XCD Sprint will be approximately Rs45,000. “Bajaj Auto has a very strong position in the entry segment and the premium segment of the motorcycle market. With the launch of the Bajaj XCD 135 DTS-Si and two more new products in April and July, we aim to garner a strong position in the value segment,” Bajaj Auto general manager Amit Nandi said.
