New Bajaj Pulsar 125, Pulsar 150 Launched With ₹92,990 Starting Price — But These New Features Could Change the Game…

New Delhi: The iconic Bajaj Pulsar has entered a new chapter as Bajaj Auto rolls out updated versions of the Pulsar 125 and Pulsar 150 in India.

The new Pulsar 125 starts at ₹92,990, while the Pulsar 150 is priced from ₹1.15 lakh, both ex-showroom. The updates come as the Pulsar brand celebrates its 25th anniversary, bringing modern technology to two motorcycles that have been familiar names on Indian roads for years.

And this time, Bajaj hasn’t stopped at new colours and styling.

Both motorcycles receive a noticeably more premium equipment list, including a 5-inch TFT display, Google Maps navigation, all-LED lighting, ride modes, USB Type-C charging and gas-charged monoshock suspension. The bikes also get a new wider fuel tank that gives them a more muscular road presence.

Pulsar 125 gets a significant technology boost

The Bajaj Pulsar 125 gets one of the biggest upgrades in its history.

Power comes from a newly derived 124.58cc single-cylinder engine producing 12.1 hp and 11.4 Nm. The engine is paired with a new five-speed gearbox, with Bajaj claiming stronger low-speed performance.

But the biggest talking point is the technology.

The new Pulsar 125 features a 5-inch TFT instrument console with smartphone-oriented functions, including Google Maps navigation. Riders also get live call and message alerts along with music controls.

The motorcycle comes equipped with Road, Rain and Sport riding modes, allowing riders to alter the bike’s behaviour according to different riding conditions.

The lighting setup has also been upgraded. The Pulsar 125 now gets an all-LED lighting package, including the headlamp, tail lamp and indicators. Hazard lights and a USB Type-C charging port add further practicality.

What is Crawl Tech?

Perhaps the most interesting addition is Crawl Tech.

The system is designed to help the motorcycle move at very low speeds without the rider needing to constantly use the throttle. This could prove particularly useful in slow-moving city traffic, where maintaining a smooth crawl can become tiring.

The technology is similar in concept to the low-speed assistance systems seen on some motorcycles from KTM, giving the Pulsar 125 a feature that is unusual in its segment.

The new Pulsar 125 also gets clip-on handlebars, a stiffer diamond-type frame and a gas-charged monoshock rear suspension.

Five-speed gearbox and more power

Bajaj has also worked on the mechanical package of the new Pulsar 125.

The 124.58cc engine produces 12.1 hp, a modest increase over the outgoing motorcycle. More importantly, the new gearbox has been developed to improve tractive effort at lower speeds.

That should make the motorcycle better suited to everyday urban riding, where quick acceleration from low speeds and smooth throttle response matter more than outright top speed.

Bajaj is also positioning the motorcycle as one of the most powerful options in the 125cc category.

Pulsar 150 gets the same premium treatment

The Bajaj Pulsar 150 has also received a substantial technology upgrade.

It continues to use a 149.5cc single-cylinder engine, producing 14 PS. Unlike the Pulsar 125, the 150 retains its existing power output, with the focus of this update placed largely on technology, equipment and styling.

The motorcycle now gets the same 5-inch TFT display, Google Maps navigation, all-LED lighting, hazard lights and USB Type-C charging.

The display can also show live call and message alerts, while riders can access music controls without having to rely entirely on their phone while riding.

Ride modes arrive on the Pulsar 150

The new Pulsar 150 also receives multiple riding modes, giving riders greater control over the motorcycle’s response.

A clip-on handlebar, belly pan and gas-charged monoshock suspension further enhance the bike’s sporty character.

And just like the smaller Pulsar 125, the 150 gets Crawl Tech, which could make it more convenient to ride through congested urban roads.

A familiar Pulsar gets a more modern face

Visually, Bajaj has retained the familiar Pulsar identity while making the motorcycles look more muscular.

The wider fuel tank is one of the most noticeable changes, giving both models a broader and more aggressive stance. The combination of LED lighting, updated bodywork and the new TFT console makes the classic Pulsar design look considerably more modern.

The Pulsar 125 will be available in Ebony Black Cyan Blue, Ebony Black Magenta Red, Fury Red and Sapphire Blue.

The Pulsar 150 gets Sapphire Blue, Ebony Black Ink Blue, Magenta Red, Fury Red and Pearl Metallic White, among other colour options.

Prices and positioning

The new Pulsar 125 starts at ₹92,990, while the Pulsar 150 starts at ₹1.15 lakh, ex-showroom.

The pricing keeps both motorcycles within the mainstream commuter and premium-commuter space while giving buyers considerably more technology than earlier versions.

For Bajaj, the move is also about keeping the classic Pulsar name relevant at a time when Indian buyers are increasingly demanding connected features, digital displays and premium hardware even in relatively affordable motorcycles.

25 years of Pulsar — and more than 20 million bikes sold

The Bajaj Pulsar story began in 2001, when the original Pulsar 150 and Pulsar 180 helped establish a new category of sporty motorcycles in India.

Since then, the Pulsar family has expanded considerably, with motorcycles ranging from 125cc commuters to high-performance models.

Bajaj has previously announced that the Pulsar range crossed the two-crore global sales milestone, with motorcycles sold across more than 50 countries.

That makes the latest launch more than just another model update. It is part of Bajaj’s effort to modernise one of its most recognisable motorcycle names without losing the character that made the Pulsar popular in the first place.

The real question: can the new Pulsars raise the bar?

The biggest change with the 2026 Pulsar 125 and Pulsar 150 isn’t necessarily their styling.

It is the technology underneath and around the rider.

A TFT display, navigation, ride modes, LED lighting, USB Type-C charging and Crawl Tech would have sounded unusual on motorcycles in this price range a few years ago. Bajaj is now bringing those features to two of its most established models.

The new Pulsars therefore face a simple test: can they combine this additional technology with the familiar reliability and everyday usability that made the nameplate successful?

With prices starting below ₹1 lakh for the Pulsar 125, Bajaj appears confident that the answer will be yes.
