You don’t have to be a motorcyclist to have heard about the Indian motorcycle manufacturercalledBajaj Bajaj hasbeen servicingtheneedsof the delivery market across the African continent for years, selling more than 5 million units in Africa in the last 10 years Another important thing to note is that Bajaj Auto, the motorcycle division, is just one of the many divisions run by the Bajaj group Focusing on the motorcycle division, they have grown and built their companyoverthelast70years and have now become the world’s fourth largest two wheeler manufacturer and the largest three wheeler manufacturer There’s no denying the fact that Bajaj is a juggernaut in the motorcycle industry with a big focus pointed in the direction of the delivery market across the

A New Lightweight in Town: Bajaj Boxer 150

world. Although very focused onthedeliveryspace,Bajajhas also been in charge of building engines and motorcycles for many European and Japanese motorcyclecompaniesoverthe years. This surely gives buyers peace of mind when investing in their products knowing that quality and engineering are at a high and trusted level So, who are we dealing with in South Africa? They go by the name of TransRev Bajaj; a passionate team who are the sole authorised distributor for the South African region. After slowly growing their footprint in SA thanks to the Qute (four wheeler),thetuk tukRE4sand the CT125, they are now ready for the big leagues Ready to take on the competition, they contacted us to give their new player a test. Welcome to the BajajBoxer150… The Boxer 150 enters its way

into an already very competitive delivery market with importers selling their workhorses like fresh bread at a bakery However, this does not faze Bajaj one bit, with the Boxer bringing its years of experience from upper Africa and India tothe growing South African market With that said, let’s turn the key So, what is the Bajaj Boxer 150 all about? The Boxer is a born and bred city dweller with drum brakes at each end, plush but well damped suspension, a fully enclosed chain guard, standard crash protection, centre stand, USBchargeport,gearindicator and a 145cc single cylinder motor The Boxer is as simple as it gets when it comes to “form vs function” leaving you with a satisfactory feeling once you’ve taken a step back and considered everything. The Boxerfiresupfromacoldstart

with ease (considering it’s a carbureted motorcycle) and idles with little to no vibrations you can hardly tell the bike is running Run the little 145cc single cylinder motor does, eking out 12 hp at 7,500rpmand12.1Nmofpeak torque at 4,500 rpm, not much parked next to a Panigale but right up there with its competitors On the road you find yourself tapping through the smooth 5 speed box with enough low down torque to short shift and lug off idle speeds without any hesitation. The Boxer excels at inner city speeds where 80 km/h and below are expected With that said, the Boxer is more than capable of doing the odd bit of highwaytraveltoo.

The Bajaj Boxer is on sale for R24 999 and sold by Bajaj Clocolan. 073 847 2468 Delivery nationwide
