V15 Overview

Bajaj V15 is not just built from the metal sourced from the INS Vikrant aircraft carrier used in the 1971 war, but the nameplate too has been derived from the former. Bajaj has worked on an all new design for this 150cc commuter that lends a tough stance to V15. For power generation, a new 149.5 cc, single cylinder, four stroke engine has been employed producing decent power and torque output. It is to be noted that only the fuel tank is built from the metal of INS Vikrant which also gets a mention on the meaty tank. On feature front, the bike lags behind, but it does well in terms of performance.

Built from the metal sourced from INS Vikrant aircraft carrier, Bajaj’s new V15 commuter bike is synonymous with strength and ruggedness. The commuter bike employs a new DTS-i engine pumping out decent power output. Bajaj claims that new V15 commuter bike has been tuned to develop 25 per cent higher torque than potential rivals in the segment. Complimented by a masculine stance, Bajaj V15 gets features such as 18 inch Eurogrip tyre up front and 16 inch tyre at rear. Besides, there will be an INS Vikrant insignia on the fuel tank and a removable cowl for pillion seat. Bajaj V15 is offered in two colour options- Pearl White and Ebony Black. Available in limited units the entire bike isn’t made of the metal soured from INS Vikrant aircraft, it is just the fuel tank that uses the copiously tested metal from the aircraft carrier.
