This new name tag joins a fairly long list of names that Bajaj has trademarked recently but is yet to use.
The latest news from the world of motorcycles is that Bajaj has trademarked the name ‘Twinner’ in India. It applied for the trademark way back in May last year, and the application was approved earlier this month.
And so Twinner joins a list of interesting names that Bajaj has trademarked recently but is yet to use. Others on the list include Freerider, Fluir, Fluor and Neuron, all of which sound like they could be names for two-wheelers but are yet to find their way onto the side of one.
There’s no guarantee that the Twinner name is even intended for a two-wheeler – the trademark filing says that it can be used for two-, three- or even four-wheeled vehicles. So, there is the possibility that Bajaj might use the name for one of its commercial vehicles.
As far as two-wheelers are concerned, Bajaj has no twin-cylinder motorcycles in its current line-up, nor does it seem close to launching one anytime soon. Yes, the company is in partnership with KTM and Triumph, both of whom are developing mid-displacement twin-cylinder engines, but it’s going to be quite some time before we see these arrangements bearing a Bajaj-branded motorcycle. So, it will be interesting to see if and when this name tag is used.
