Bajaj Auto has unveiled the 2018 Bajaj V15 at the launch event of the new 2018 Discover range. The bike now comes with pillion backrest with cushion.
The USP of Bajaj V is the use of metal from INS Vikrant, which was independent India’s first aircraft carrier. The design of the motorcycle is also different from the run-of-the-mill commuters, which makes the bike stand apart. The motorcycle comes with a 55/60 W DC headlamp with AHO feature. The instrument cluster houses an analogue speedometer on the left and tell-tale lights on the right. The pillion back rest bears a ‘V’ logo at the back, and the logo is present on the fuel tank as well. The tail lamp is LED.
