The date is finally revealed for the launch and it is 30th of this month (January). Wait with your fingers crossed as I update you with the live happening right from Mumbai from the launch spot.

If you can rewind and go a few years behind, Bajaj launched exclusive Pro – Biking outlets to sell its high displacement bikes specifically.
