India's second largest bike manufacturer is looking to tri-alliance with Austria's KTM which is known for its off road two stroke racing bikes and Japan based Kawasaki which is known as for its designing and manufacturing. The reason behind this tri-alliance is to creating this three way alliance is to combine the R&D and global distribution strengths of the three companies. Bajaj Auto's MD Rajiv Bajaj told that KTM motors wants to learn about cost structure from Kawasaki and Bajaj Auto wants to extant the partnership between Bajaj and Kawasaki too.
He also added that no immediate equity participation likely by Bajaj in Kawasaki or vice versa. Kawasaki bikes are known as its balanced performance, high quality, reliability and excellent fit and finish motorcycles, Kawasaki produced world class bikes such Ninja, Kawasaki Z series, Vulcan and the company wants to develop high performance bikes. While KTM has produced class leading bikes like Duke, Supermoto and LC4 series. Presently Bajaj Auto produces Boxer, Platina, Pulsar, Discover and Avenger the well performing bikes.
Kawasaki motorcycle mostly produces class leading high performance bikes which none of KTM or Bajaj has. KTM mostly deal in class leading off road bikes which none of Bajaj or Kawasaki has. On the other hand Bajaj produces low displacement street bikes which are better than of Kawasaki and KTM. So, all the three players majorly operate in three different segments. And All three bike makers has not competited to each other, on behalf of their performance and the range.
Bajaj Pulsar 150 (2018-2026) User Reviews
- reliable daily commuter with great mileage
Needed something dependable for daily city traffic that wouldn't eat up all petrol money. looked at a few other 150cc options but the pulsar 150 just felt like the right balance of price, low maintenance and that classic muscular look that never gets old. Honestly pretty smooth for daily running, engine has nice pickup in lower gears so overtaking in heavy trafffic is easy, getting a solid 45-50 km regularly, only slight downside is minor handle vibes past 85 kmph but for everyday city speeds, its steady and comfortable. Definitely 100 percent recommend it, if you want a reliable everyday bike with decent power and great fuel efficiency, maintenance is super cheap and spare parts are available anywhere. just a solid, no nonsense daily runner that gets the job done.
5 1 - Value for money
Best in class performances, easy handling in city traffic, smooth, but rugged at same time, easy on pocket for maintenance, definitely serves the purpose, pickup is perfect, been riding this one since 15 years, yet minimum service cost, after sales response is also impressive, definitely male, title claimed by company feels true when you ride one.
1 2 - Bajaj is the best bike

12 8 - A True All-Rounder in the 150cc Segment
I chose this bike because it feels smooth and stable on highways while still offering good control in the city, even though the suspension feels slightly stiff on rough roads. It gives good mileage, looks stylish and is comfortable enough for family rides, making it a practical and reliable choice. The ride so far has been very satisfying. It feels comfortable for daily use, gives good mileage and has strong pickup. Handling is stable and confident, especially on highways where it feels smooth and controlled even at higher speeds. Yes, I would recommend this bike. I bought it mainly for daily office travel and occasional weekend rides. It gives me decent mileage and the pickup is good enough for city traffic. On highways it feels stable and confident. The suspension is slightly stiff on rough roads but overall comfort is fine. If someone wants a practical, stylish and reliable bike in this budget, this is a good choice.
