Bajaj unveils the SS400 and CS400 at the 2014 Auto Expo
Wednesday, 5 February 2014 by Unknown
Bajaj has pulled a massive surprise at the 2014 Auto Expo. While we expected
them to show the faired version of the Bajaj Pulsar 200NS, the company has
gone ahead and shown not one but two new Pulsars, both with the larger
375cc engine.
The first is the one we knew about — the faired SS400 (see below), where SS
stands for Supersports. And just like we visualised,the bike sports an overtly
aggressive and rather fussy design.

The front fairing is identical to what we’ve been seeing on test mules with a
pair of small recessed headlamps. The fairing features many slashes and even
a faux air intake ahead of the tank. The tank it self is quite large. The rear
features a sport bike style split seat while the flashy tail lamp is mounted on
the rear mudguard. The bike features raised clip on handle bars and doesn’t
seem to have as exaggerated a riding position as the design suggests.
Chassis-wise the SS400 features a different frame to the trellis on the KTM
390 Duke this bike is based on. The engine is also based on the KTM’s but has
been considerably reworked and features Bajaj’s triple spark technology. The
company has remained tight lipped on any engine specs so far.

The CS400 (above) meanwhile retains the overall silhouette of the 200NS but
looks considerably beefier in every aspect. The bike features a new headlamp
and gets all digital gauges that sit on top of a conventional handle bar.
The bike also features a unique digital speedo and gear indicator mounted on
the tank. The design is rounded off by a thick rear end with a butch looking
end can mounted along the right side of the bike.
One difference between the SS and CS is that the faired bike runs Metzeler
tyres like the KTM 390 Duke but the street bike runs a new version of the
MRF Revz seen on the smaller 200 Duke.
In addition to the bikes Bajaj showcased the RE60 people carrier. The RE60
features a 216cc, liquid-cooled 4-valve triple spark engine. Fuelling is handled
by fuel injection while it features a 5-speed manual gearbox. It will be offered
in petrol, CNG or LPG options. Bajaj claims 37kmpl of fuel efficiency.
Bajaj made a third and equally big surprise with the introduction of its UCAR
brand. This is essentially a personalised version of the people carrying RE60.
It’s in the early concept stage now and features gull wing doors. While the
RE60 is aimed at replacing the rickshaw with safer, closed transportation, the
UCAR brand is essentially aimed at making affordable personal transport
available to the masses.
