Bajaj XCD 135 CC - A New bike from Bajaj

Bajaj Auto Ltd. comes up as the first Indian bike maker to bust the credit crunch myth by launching the all-new XCD 135 DTS-Si. This is the company's first launch in the series of six new launches it has promised in the span of next six months. The new "sporty commuter" bike, as the press release suggests, is aimed at riders for whom style is as important as fuel efficiency. It also promises a bit of a punch on the performance front, the bike being powered by a new 135cc engine incorporating Bajaj's swirl induction tech first seen on the XCD 125. Here's what the company release says about the new launch -

"Bajaj Auto Ltd. launched the all new sports commuter motorcycle, the Bajaj XCD 135 DTS-Si. Though meant for regular use this bike will be sporty both in its performance and in its styling. Inspired from the Bajaj Pulsar DTS-i, it looks and drives like a Pulsar-Junior. Aimed at the customers in the value segment looking for a sporty alternative, it will have many first-in-class features like a 135cc DTS-Si engine, a 5 speed gear box, auto choke, gas filled Nitrox absorbers, digital speedometer and LED tail lamps. Other significant features include electric-start and front disc-brake. With its 10.6PS engine, sporty styling, long feature-list and a price of approximately Rs. 45,000 ex-showroom it will be a very compelling alternative to all lesser performing and conservatively styled 100cc motorcycles in the value segment. Speaking on the launch, S.Sridhar, CEO two-Wheelers, Bajaj Auto said,"This bike is the first of our three launches in the value segment. We already have a very strong position in the entry and the premium segment of the motorcycle market, and now we will have an extremely strong line-up in the value segment as well."

The Bajaj XCD 135 DTS-Si will be manufactured in Waluj. There are 5 colors and decal option available which the consumer can choose from."
