The company has almost entirely revamped its entire product portfolio over a span of last few months. Bajaj Auto retired the Avenger 150 Street and replaced it with the bigger Avenger 180 Street.

In terms of product developments, there is a lot going on at Bajaj Auto, especially in the motorcycle segment. The company has plans to bring the new generation Pulsars next year. There have been recent reports on the internet suggesting that the company will bring the smallest Pulsar ever with a 125cc engine to replace the existing Pulsar 135 LS. The latter recently created a bit of a confusion as it first disappeared from the company's website and then appeared again.

The company also gave cosmetic updates to the Bajaj Dominar 400 earlier this year with an aim to improve the sales of the company's flagship motorcycle. The new models were unveiled with the launch of the new Discover range. More details on the new Bajaj motorcycles expected to be revealed in the coming days!
