Bajaj Auto Kick Starts Chain of Probiking Showrooms Bajaj Auto Ltd, has kick-started a revolution in bike retailing by launching a first-of-its-kind chain of 'Probiking' showrooms. The first such showroom at Bund Garden Road was inaugurated at the hands of Rahul Bajaj, Chairman, Bajaj Auto on 6th September 2005. Designed for biking enthusiasts, the showroom offers prospective "probikers" a chance to test-ride the bikes on specially designed Indoor dynamometer. The company is aiming at opening 10 such showrooms across the country by the end of this fiscal. The entire process of buying is state-of - the-art. Interactive computer terminals provide hassle free, self-service transactions wherein the Probiker can print quotations, book test rides and order the bike. Bajaj Auto has also arranged for first-of-its-kind doorstep delivery of Pulsar 180 DTS-i and Avenger in specially designed vans. Spread across 2300 sq ft, the showroom at Bund Garden Road has a "Dynamometer" for a static test ride wherein the Probiker will be able to ride the bike. Riders will be able to put the bike through ultimate driving conditions and check out parameters such as acceleration time, power, torque, top speed, etc, which is not possible on a normal road test. Technology will be the nucleus of the Probiking chain of showrooms with every Probiking Showroom's local server connected to Bajaj Auto's central SAP (ERP) system. Technology will dynamically link the pre-during-and-post sales processes.
