Bajaj Auto, the third largest two-wheeler manufacturer of the country has recently experienced a dull and dark spot on its image when a red Bajaj Pulsar RS 200 bit the dust after its rider applied the front disc brake. According to the reports, Mohsin Patel, who was riding on his “Fastest Pulsar Yet” along with his wife applied the brakes while he was on highway at a decent speed. What followed it was something he couldn't had imagined as the front alloy got disintegrated into pieces and the duo fell off the bike receiving some serious injuries. Both of them were then rushed to the nearest hospital and were soon released after minor treatment.

Bajaj Auto on the other hand, clearly refused to take the responsibility of the matter and stated that its vehicles are aggressively tested on roads as well as on test tracks, hence there is no such chance of any mishappening under normal riding conditions. Furthermore, the Pune based manufacturer said that the P rated tyre used in RS 200 has been designed to run on top speed over 150kmph and the selected tyre rim combination is capable enough to withstand harsh adversities and roughest conditions. Talking about the reasons, Bajaj Auto conveyed that the alloy wheel used in the bike cannot collapse until and unless a strong external impact reaches it and seeing the direction of the break, this case clearly shows that there isn't any manufacturing error involved.

Whether the accident was due to manufacturing flaw or not is yet to be seen. The exact reason of the crash is being investigated.
