Bajaj Auto has quietly launched the Boxer 150 in India. The Boxer BM150 is powered by a 150cc engine (no DTSi or the likes here) and tuned for more torque, rather then outright power. The Boxer is aimed at the rural market and is a tractor on 2-wheels according to Rajiv Bajaj. Priced at Rs. 42,000/- (ex-showroom, Pune), the Boxer’s only USP is its loading carrying capacity. All drum brakes, electric start and an analog speedometer adorn this ‘Bharat’ bike. The Boxer is designed for use and abuse in all kinds of terrain. The Boxer’s 150 cc engine produces 12 PS of power and 12.26 Nm of torque, almost 50% more than the standard 100 cc bikes. Bajaj claims that the Boxer features a rugged frame, swing arm and chassis. The all metal body parts, twin spring SNS suspension, bigger tyre and a heavy duty carrier ensure the Boxer is at home in most terrains.
