Bajaj Triumph Bike development started

The Bajaj Triumph global partnership was announced last week with an intention to develop mid-capacity bikes ranging from 400cc-800cc. Both the automakers will develop and manufacture mid-capacity motorcycles for domestic as well as export markets.

While the development work on the mid-capacity bikes already commenced, there is no 250cc bike coming from this partnership. Triumph had intentions to launch a 250cc bike around 4 years back, but that is something which couldn’t materialise for Triumph. Nonetheless, this partnership will see motorcycles ranging from 400cc-800cc only.

Bringing a 250cc bike might result in Triumph eating into Bajaj’s and KTM’s share in the Indian market. Hence Bajaj has strategically chosen the 400cc-800cc segment so that it can take on Royal Enfield. While both Bajaj and Triumph have not communicated about the exact time period for the launch of the mid-capacity bikes from this partnership, they expect to launch a bike in the next three to four years.

Triumph has a Completely Knocked Down (CKD) production plant in Manesar where it assembles its range of motorcycles and also anticipates to produce its current range of bikes in the coming future.
