Saffire gets better

BAJAJ AUTO’S pin-up girl the automatic four-stroke , Saffire just got better. The good looker from Bajaj now gets a telescope front fork in place of the original single-sided one a front mudguard and a larger 130mm brake drum on the rear. The superiority of the telescope front fork over conventional scooter suspension systems becomes evident through better control over the entire travel and the improved ride and safety during braking due to the hydraulic damping on rebound. The arrangements also gives the Saffire’s front end a sturdy and robust appearance. The addition of the front mudguard blends well with the new front end. Although only the rear brake drum has been incresed in size a front disc must certainly be on the cards considering that front discs are becoming the norm across the two-wheeler industry. Existing Saffire owners need not worry since the entire update package can be retrofitted to earlier Saffires. Bajaj has promised to subsidise the cost.
