Bajaj XCD 135cc - Bike Reviews / Bike Price

The XCD 135 DTS Si comes with an aerodynamically designed fuel tank coupled with digital instrumentation, LED tail lights, electric start and NITROX rear suspension. It will act as a catalyst to push the envelope of commuter motorcyclists towards higher displacement bikes. The 135cc powerplant uses the same DTS-Si techno wizardry seen first time on the XCD 125 DTS-Si and then on the Platina 125 DTS-Si. The mill produces 11PS of power and incorporates a five speed gearbox.Bajaj Auto has been leading the market in the premium segment as well as the 100cc commuter bracket, but in the mid-level segment its arch rival, Hero Honda has been raking in numbers for a very long time. Bajaj Auto is geared up to turn tables in the mid-segment with three new launches starting with the XCD 135 DTS-Si. While the world grieved about the economic slump last year,significant development took place on the Indian two-wheeler front with bigwigs like Yamaha and Suzuki rolling out their international range of superbikes in India.
