Production Bajaj Pulsar CS400 revealed in new image

Will be launched this quarter.

The production Bajaj Pulsar CS400 has been revealed in a sketch, courtesy Motor Octane. The production Pulsar CS400 will reportedly be available in Cocktail Red colour scheme among others.

The leaked sketch reaffirms that the production Bajaj Pulsar CS400 hasn't changed much in appearance from the the Bajaj Pulsar CS400 concept showcased at Auto Expo 2014. There is a major mechanical change in the production version though, of the concept version's upside-down forks being replaced by conventional telescopic forks.

The Bajaj Pulsar CS400 is reported to be based on the Bajaj Pulsar RS200's platform, and will be the company's new flagship motorcycle. Set to be the most powerful Bajaj Pulsar put to series production, the CS400 is expected to be powered by a modified version of the KTM Duke 390's 373.2 cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine. Spyshots have revealed the engine will feature the familiar DTS-i technology.

The DTS-i engine will be paired to a 6-speed transmission. Stopping power will come from single front and rear disc brakes with dual-channel ABS. The concept version's all-digital instrument panel and auxiliary digital display have been carried over to the production version. The Bajaj Pulsar CS400 has been confirmed for a launch this quarter and is expected to be priced around INR 1.8 lakhs (ex-showroom).
