Rakesh Sharma, Managing Director, Bajaj Auto, said, “We are very excited about the Triumph & Bajaj Auto alliance as the two companies are working together as the first model nears its launch. We welcome Triumph dealerships under the Bajaj Auto family and offer them the opportunity to grow their business further as the portfolio expands. In preparation for the new motorcycles to be launched soon, we will use our strength to rapidly expand exclusive Triumph stores in India. As mentioned.
Bajaj plans to expand the number of Triumph dealerships to over 120 in the next two years.
The new Triumph Roadster bike will feature an engine around 400cc, the entry-level bike will have an up side down fork and rear monoshock similar to the Triumph Roadster Bonneville bikes. At the same time it might get disc brakes at the braking ends and come with dual-channel ABS.
October 2023 may be the official launch of Triumph budget bikes primarily. And the models to be manufactured by Bajaj Auto will be launched in India first.
Triumph is expected to launch two entry-level bike models, the Roadster and the Scrambler.
