Let’s take a deep dive into Bajaj’s new PH-spec Pulsar lineup

In 2026, Bajaj had already hit the Philippine market as a stand-alone two-wheeler brand. This is contrary to its previous status as a partner of Kawasaki Motors Philippines. 

At present, the brand is distributed by Trimotors Technology Corporation (TTC), so its lineup of motorcycle products no longer bears the “Kawasaki” name. And to mark this occasion, TTC also brought in the latest lineup of Pulsar motorcycles, which is headlined by the NS400Z. The aforementioned are joined by the Dominar400. 

So, what are these rides offering to prospective buyers? To find out, let’s take a gander at the specifications shared by TTC during Bajaj’s grand Philippine launch.
