The name Kratos stands for Greek God of war. Which perfectly suits the motorcycle, as the name Bajaj is providing power to the masses with their Pulsar brand for more than a decade.

Bajaj also plans to build a higher displacement motorcycle under this brand to take on Royal Enfield. Bajaj decided to drop the Pulsar name because a cruiser with Pulsar branding will be equal to a 150cc Royal Enfield as stated by Rajiv Bajaj recently.
