While the Pulsar range has been the hot favorite amongst affordable performance bike buyers, Bajaj think its only apt to doesn’t sell its upcoming 400cc under the Pulsar moniker. Hence, the long awaited Bajaj Pulsar VS400 (aka CS400) will be now known as the Bajaj Kratos VS400. The Kratos VS400 will share in plenty with the Duke 390. However, it remains largely true to the Pulsar CS400 concept we saw at the 2014 Expo. The erstwhile 200NS is the first Pulsar to borrow from its Duke cousin. This time around, Bajaj has decided to come up with a higher displacement product based on the KTM 390 Duke. Powering the Bajaj Kratos VS400 is a re-tuned version of the Duke’s 373.2cc engine. The Bajaj Kratos VS400 launch will happen in November. Read on for Bajaj Kratos VS400 Price, Top Speed, Mileage, Specifications and Features.
We have already posted many videos and spy images of the VS400. However, the latest image (above) has to be the clearest picture of the upcoming bike. The Bajaj Kratos VS400 launch is likely to be followed by the launch of RS400.

The Bajaj Kratos VS400 looks almost same as the CS400. The world-class design continues to impress. Designers of the Kratos VS400 seem to have looked at the Ducati Diavel for inspiration. The Kratos VS400 is likely to excite many. The Bajaj Kratos VS400 also looks like an elder sibling of the 200NS. The front fascia gets an aggressive look and the LED headlamp impress. The Kratos VS400, however, misses out on the upside down forks featured on the CS400. The VS400 also makes do without clip-on handlebars. However, this enhances its street fighter image.

It also shows tell tale signs for air filter replacement and other such things.
The Kratos VS400 comes with a split-seat setup. The CS400 had a single seat. Other features of this bike’s design are- muscular tank, aggressive headlamp, sporty tail section and LED taillamps.
