Published: Tuesday, February 3, 2026, 13:01 [IST]

Bajaj is expected to launch several new motorcycles in 2026, starting from an all-new platform for the Pulsar series, a new nameplate, and a new-generation Bajaj Dominar. The upcoming lineup will include commuter and sport motorcycles.

Bajaj Auto 2026 Motorcycle Lineup

Bajaj Auto is upgrading its existing lineup and is also expected to launch a total of eight new models over the next six months. The upcoming launches will include electric vehicles and premium motorcycles.

Updating Pulsar Series and Platform

The company has recently updated the Bajaj Pulsar 220F, Bajaj Pulsar 150, and the Bajaj Pulsar 125. Several more models are expected to receive similar updates over the next six months. The Pulsar series has been the lifeline of Bajaj Auto for many years, and keeping it updated is crucial for the manufacturer to remain competitive.

There have also been speculations about Bajaj introducing a completely new platform for the Pulsar range. Additionally, the OG round headlamp Classic Pulsar could also make a comeback this year.

New Affordable Range

Apart from Pulsar, Bajaj is planning a new 125cc nameplate that could be positioned as an affordable motorcycle. This model is expected to compete against bikes such as the Honda Shine, Hero Glamour, and Honda SP 125.

New-Gen Dominar 400

The Bajaj Dominar is the flagship model from Bajaj Auto. It is powered by a 373cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled, DOHC engine that produces 40 PS of power and 35 Nm of torque, paired with a 6-speed gearbox. Bajaj could introduce a new-generation Dominar 400 with an updated design, improved ergonomics, and a new engine.

This could be the latest LC4c 398.63cc single-cylinder, DOHC, liquid-cooled engine used in the KTM Duke 390, producing 46 PS and 39 Nm of torque, mated to a 6-speed gearbox. As a result, the new-generation Dominar 400 could become more powerful and performance-oriented.

New 350cc Bajaj?

There have also been reports of Bajaj, KTM, and Triumph jointly developing a new 350cc motorcycle for the Indian market. The new GST 2.0 reforms have increased taxes on motorcycles above 350cc to 40%.

Despite this, Bajaj continues to price its Dominar and NS 400Z very aggressively. To work around this tax regulation, the brand is reportedly developing a new 350cc engine. Bajaj is also expected to use this engine for a new in-house nameplate.

Electric Motorcycle and Scooter

Bajaj is one of the leading manufacturers in the electric two-wheeler segment. Its Chetak EV is among the best-selling electric scooters in India. Bajaj could introduce a new electric motorcycle for the Indian market focused on practicality and affordability. It has been reported that the new platform is already in development.

This new EV platform could underpin both scooters and motorcycles, with more power and range than the existing Chetak range. Bajaj recently launched the Chetak C2501 EV as the most affordable model in its lineup, offering a claimed range of 100 km.
