Bajaj and Triumph are planning to launch a new 350-cc motorcycle in India. The bike is still in the development stage and has been spotted testing for the first time on Indian roads. Based on engine capacity and looks, the bike will be a scrambler and will take on Royal Enfield and Honda bikes with similar engine capacity. The bike is the result of a partnership between Bajaj and Triumph, which was announced in 2017 to produce mid-level bikes for the Indian market. Spotted Bike’s test mule is the first bike developed in their partnership. Reports suggest that the bikes will be developed by Triumph while Bajaj will handle the production.

The two-wheeler features a conventional handlebar configuration and a prominent visor which ensures the best possible wind deflection.

In addition, the test mule is loaded with several accessories such as knuckle guard, tail bag, tank bag, tank pad and a saddle bag on the left side.
