Triumph-Bajaj Tie-up Update
Rakesh Sharma, Executive Director at Bajaj Auto, in an interview with DNA, has said that talks with Triumph have reached an advanced stage and that…

The commercial agreement has not been signed yet and this may also mean that the sign-off may happen in the coming weeks.
What we know till now is that teams from both the companies are in talks and the motorcycles that will be introduced will be in the mid-range – more specifically between 300cc to 700cc. According to speculations, the first motorcycle could be a single cylinder 500cc.
