Bajaj Auto has reportedly been testing an entry-level adventure bike on Indian roads to rival the Hero Xpulse 210. Launch is expected in the first quarter of 2027, marking the company's first ADV model.
Just the fact that this is Bajaj's first ADV already has my spec speculation running wild. If they're taking direct aim at the Xpulse 210, both displacement and equipment are surely being tuned with that in mind. Is the engine an existing derivative or a new design? Waiting until Q1 2027 is agonizing, but I want to chase down every single spy shot of the test mule.

Isn't Bajaj the Indian maker known for the Pulsar and stuff?
Yeah exactly, they're the big Indian maker known for the Pulsar series, and also KTM's capital partner.
More new entrants in the entry ADV class means price competition, which is great news for buyers.
Reporting a launch date while it's still in road testing — pretty ahead-of-itself, as usual for these articles.
Bajaj's been mostly road-focused until now, so entering ADV could be a turning point for their lineup.
Naming the Xpulse210 as the rival means they'll likely match it closely on price and displacement too.
Bajaj's first ADV model is quietly a big deal, and Q1 2027 is a pretty specific timeframe.
