Both the upcoming bikes would receive round headlamps having round fuel tank. The new motorcycles are expected to be based on tubular steel frame, similar the new Pulsar 250. The spy shots taken reveal that, the new Bajaj-triumph motor cycle would get USD front forks, rear monshock, 19-inch front and 17-inch rear wheels. The Roadster model would get single seat design, while the scrambler model would more likely receive spilt seat set-up.
The new motorcycles are more likely to receive single-cylinder engine. The spotted model also features a bigger radiator. This suggests its engine would get a liquid-cooled 4 valve DOHC unit. Apart from this, the Scrambler, it has got twin exhaust unit.
