Bajaj Avenger 160 Street: Road Test Review
Bajaj launched the Avenger Street 160 in May 2019 in India, which replaced its 180cc sibling.

And after a comprehensive road test review of the motorcycle, we were quite impressed by the easy rideability of the Avenger 160. In terms of views, the review of the cruiser stands at the fifth spot in the queue.

2019 Bajaj Dominar 400: Launch Ride Review
Bajaj had launched its flagship motorcycle, the Dominar 400, back in 2016. Although the motorcycle was an alluring package overall, the response from the buyers fizzled out after a few months. Then it was time for Bajaj to give the motorcycle a major overhaul. The new Dominar 400 was launched in March this year and Bajaj invited us to test how the changes in the motorcycle fare out on the road. While we were impressed by the motorcycle’s capabilities, the online traction which the launch ride review gained was equally welcoming.
Bajaj Pulsar 125 Neon: First Ride Review
Now, topping the list of our most popular reviews of 2019 is the first ride review of the Pulsar 125 Neon, which had multiple reasons. Firstly, Pulsar has been one of the most popular motorcycle brands in the Indian two-wheeler industry. Furthermore, the Pulsar 125 is a unique product given its boisterous styling, which is identical to its 150cc sibling, while it also packs performance more than its rivals in the 125cc segment.
