Bajaj Auto has officially entered a new chapter in the Philippines, marking its independent brand presence through an event titled “Future in Motion.” Staged at the Filinvest Tent, the launch was held in partnership with TriMotors Technology Corporation, which now leads the brand’s nationwide distribution and operations.
More than just a product showcase, the event marked a clear shift. Bajaj is now operating under its own name, building a stronger and more defined presence in the local motorcycle market.
For years, Bajaj motorcycles were known in the Philippines through a previous partnership setup. This time, the brand returns carrying its full global identity.
With operations in over 100 countries, Bajaj brings global experience to the local scene. The difference now is full control—branding, direction, and long-term plans are all under one name. This allows the company to position its motorcycles clearly across different segments, from daily commuters to higher-displacement performance machines.
TriMotors already has more than 1,900 authorized dealers and service touchpoints across 720 cities and municipalities. There is also a growing community of over 80,000 Ka-Bajaj riders nationwide. That network gives Bajaj a strong base as it expands its two-wheel lineup.
Five New Motorcycles Lead the Charge
The highlight of the launch was the unveiling of five motorcycles, each designed for a specific riding style and purpose.
Designed for daily city use, the Pulsar N125 is powered by a 124cc single-cylinder engine producing 12 hp and 11 Nm of torque. It uses a 5-speed transmission and has a seat height of around 795 mm. With a wet weight of about 125 kg and ground clearance close to 198 mm, it is built to handle everyday traffic and uneven roads with ease.
Bajaj Pulsar N160 – “Power. Precision. Control.” - Price: ₱115,888
The Pulsar N160 moves up with a 164cc single-cylinder engine delivering 16 hp and 14.65 Nm of torque. It keeps a 5-speed gearbox and a seat height of around 795 mm. Weighing about 152 kg wet, it offers a more stable and planted ride while staying manageable for daily commuting.
Bajaj Pulsar RS200 – “Leave Your Mark” - Price: ₱133,888
For riders who prefer a sportier look and feel, the Pulsar RS200 features a 199cc single-cylinder engine producing 24 hp and 18.74 Nm of torque. It comes paired with a 6-speed transmission. With a seat height of around 810 mm and a wet weight close to 159.9 kg, it leans toward those who want sharper styling and stronger highway performance.
The Pulsar NS400Z brings bigger performance to the lineup. It runs on a 373cc single-cylinder engine producing around 39.5 hp and about 35 Nm of torque. Matched with a 6-speed transmission, it delivers solid performance for both city riding and open highways. Ground clearance is around 165 mm, and weight is approximately 174 kg.
Bajaj Dominar 400 – “Reimagine Your Ride” - Price: ₱208,888
For touring-focused riders, the Dominar 400 continues to stand out. It uses a 373cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine producing around 39 hp and 35 Nm of torque. It features a 6-speed transmission with a slipper clutch. With a wet weight of about 193 kg and ground clearance of around 157 mm, it is built for longer rides while remaining practical for daily use.
More Than a Relaunch
Even before this independent rollout, Bajaj already had a strong presence in the local three-wheel segment. Now, with TriMotors handling nationwide two-wheel distribution, the strategy moves toward steady and structured growth. The message during “Future in Motion” was clear. Bajaj is no longer operating under another banner. It is building its own identity in the Philippine market, supported by a wide dealer network and a focused lineup.
For Filipino riders, this means more choices across different categories and a brand that is ready to compete directly. Bajaj’s next phase in the Philippines has officially begun.
