well, the specifications look good, wider tyre, electric start, powerful engine and all, but how rugged- it actually is-- only time will tell. and what is the price for kick start version?

but this 150 CC Bharat Bike - "Kitna deti hai", will it be able to compete against 100 CC CD100 and splendours... on mileage front??

the effort done by bajaj is good, but they could have made it slightly better looking, so that it appeals to younger brigade also-- even in villages.

edit: isn't this old news?

At 42K with all these specs, This is a very good VFM bike. Only time can tell if this bike can affect the sales of current 100cc models. Waiting for the pics.

was expecting 5 gears and alloy wheels....anyway nice package and VFM

The bike doesnt look bad in looks too... It should be VFM....

strictly for rural areas

I think it should compete good. Most of these 100cc's stall when it comes to bumps, obstructions, etc. due to lack of enough grunt.
Remember, the rural India's choice is a long term vehicle with enough torque to pull luggage and pillions (!), something on the lines of Royal Enfield, RX100, etc.

As far as mileage is concerned, we see that Discover 150 returns around 55-65 kmpl. This one with slight tuning and lesser power on tap, should better this... 60 kmpl is enough for the rural dudes.
Remember that rural people travel lesser. Your daily commute in Delhi might be around 40-50 kms/day, but in a small city like Ajmer, it is 8 kms. Go more rural and commute/day decreases further.

It's more in competition to TVS Max 4R than anything else, aimed at the "Mere Desh ki Dharti sona ugley" population...

Of course, Bajaj Marketing Dept. has to work hard to make the rural folk realize that its the bike for them. But the product seems to tick all the boxes well.

Tvs Max 4r is already a big flopp
