Buoyed by excellent response for V12 and V15, Bajaj Auto is planning to launch a new variant of the Bajaj V in the current financial year. If media reports are to be believed, the new model will be launched as an affordable product in the Bajaj V range. The new motorcycle will be positioned between the Bajaj CT100 and the V12/V15. It is likely to share engine specs with the CT100. Going by the nomenclature, we expect that the new model could be called Bajaj V10. Though, official details about the motorcycle are yet to be revealed by the maker.
Bajaj currently sells the V12 at Rs 55,060, while the V15 is retailed at Rs 61,580. We believe that the new motorcycle could be priced below Rs 50,000 and will be launched as a premium commuter in the 100cc segment. Besides, the company will also launch a new Bajaj Avenger variant in the country within this fiscal year. The new V10 or V100cc could be launched before March 2018.
It is expected to share mechanics with the CT100, which is powered by a 99.3cc single-cylinder, air-cooled engine. This engine is capable of producing a maximum power output of 8.08bhp and a peak torque of 8.05Nm. Power is transmitted to the rear wheel via a 4-speed gearbox.

Similar to the existing V range, the new commuter will have patriotic association with the INS Vikrant warship. The motorcycle will have classic retro-modern appeal. It will get trapezoidal shaped headlight with chrome surround, chrome-tipped matte black exhaust pipe and new body graphics. Like the bigger siblings, the new motorcycle could get removable rear seat cowl and new speedometer console with a dual-colour fuel level indicator. Instead of LED tail-light, the bike is likely to get conventional lights.
The bike is expected to be fitted to 18-inch and 16-inch front and rear alloy wheels, respectively. In order to achieve aggressive pricing, Bajaj could cut down some features. It might get tubed tyres and steel wheels.
