Bajaj V15 Bookings Commence at 5000/- Ahead of Launch in March 2016 Thursday February 25,2016

 

With the launch scheduled towards the end of March 2016, those waiting to get their hands on the bike can now walk up to Bajaj dealerships across the country that have commenced accepting bookings for the V15 at a minimum amount of 5000/-.

 

Bajaj V15 draws power from a 149.5cc air-cooled, four-stroke, single cylinder DTS-i engine tuned to produce 12PS of power at 7500 rpm and develop 13Nm of torque at 5500 rpm. A 5-speed gearbox sends power to the rear wheel. Suspension duties are performed by 33mm telescopic front forks at the front and a twin shock absorbers at the rear, while braking performance comes from 240mm front disc and a 130mm rear drum brake. The Bajaj V15 is expected to be priced around 63,000/- (ex-showroom, Delhi)

Positioning its new commuter as something special, Bajaj Auto used the scrap metal from the decommissioned INS Vikrant warship in the making the V15 and has been used to produce the fuel tank of the bike. 

Bajaj Auto's entire marketing campaign revolved around the V15's association with the warship and how the motorcycle was an effort to preserve the latter's legacy.
