The Triumph dealerships will be the fifth distinct retail chain to be managed by Bajaj. The other four include Bajaj, Bajaj three-wheelers, KTM and Chetak. The two companies have also confirmed the launch of a new series of co-developed mid-sized motorcycles under the Triumph brand later this year. The new mid-capacity models will be manufactured by Bajaj at its plant in Chakan. So far, there's no word on if there will be a change in management at Triumph India.
