Bajaj Auto has launched the new-generation Pulsar 125 and Pulsar 150. Both motorcycles receive all-new engines, monoshock rear suspension, LED lighting and connected instrument consoles, along with Bajaj’s new Crawl Tech. Prices start at Rs 92,990 for Pulsar 125 and Rs 1,15,233 for Pulsar 150, ex-showroom. Multiple variants allow buyers to choose between single and split seats, LCD and TFT displays, and single or twin-disc braking setups.
New Engines, More Low-End Torque
New Pulsar 125 and Pulsar 150 are powered by all-new engines developed to improve refinement, performance and efficiency while retaining the sporty character associated with Pulsar. Power-to-weight performance has also improved. Bajaj’s internal index for Pulsar 150 has increased from 93 to 100, while Pulsar 125 improves from 81 to 93.
Pulsar 125 produces 12 PS and 11.4 Nm at 6,000 rpm. Pulsar 150 generates 14 PS and 14.1 Nm at 6,500 rpm. Bajaj claims both engines provide 85% of their torque from 3,000 rpm onwards, promising quicker response and easier acceleration in everyday riding conditions.
Segment-First Crawl Tech
Both motorcycles receive Bajaj’s new Crawl Tech, claimed as a first for the 125cc and 150cc segments. It allows the motorcycle to move at low speeds without throttle input, reducing effort and fatigue in congested traffic. The feature should be particularly useful during slow-moving urban commutes, where riders otherwise have to constantly balance throttle and clutch inputs.
On Pulsar 125, Crawl Tech maintains approximately 5 km/h in first gear, increasing progressively to 25 km/h in fifth. Pulsar 150 starts at around 10 km/h in first and can maintain up to 30 km/h in fifth without throttle input.
5-Inch TFT With Google Navigation
Higher variants receive a 5-inch TFT instrument display with Google navigation. The system supports screen sharing from Android and iOS smartphones. The TFT can store digital copies of vehicle documents such as the registration certificate and insurance.
