The new Bajaj Pulsar 150 is based on the same platform that the company has used in the Pulsar N250, F250 and the N160. The motorcycle has now become sportier, sharper and lighter. It has a new aerodynamic 3D front that embodies sculptural purity and sports a dynamic interplay of metalised, dual colours. The single-disc variant allows a more upright stance, while the twin-disc variant has a sportier stance and comes with a split seat.

A dynamic tank profile is contrasted with a thin waistline that extends to a contoured seat profile. Along with a 790mm seat height, the proportions are made for rider comfort. With a new mono-shock rear suspension, and an underbelly exhaust positioned near the bike’s centre of gravity, the design ensures better balance and handling – making it one of the most manoeuvrable bikes in its class.

The new Bajaj Pulsar P150 is powered by a new 149.68cc engine, which gives best-in-class power and instantaneous throttle response. It delivers a peak power of 14.5 Ps @ 8500 RPM and a maximum torque of 13.5 Nm @ 6000 RPM. Most importantly, 90% of the torque is available across the usable RPM range. Add to that a superior gear shift and a damper for better NVH management, and you have the most refined Pulsar 150 to date.

The new Bajaj Pulsar P150 is attractively priced at Rs 1,19,757 (ex-showroom Delhi) and Rs 1,19,565 (ex-showroom Kolkata) for twin-disc variant and Rs 1,16,755 (ex-showroom New Delhi) and Rs 1,16,563 (ex-showroom Kolkata) for single-disc variant. It will be available in 5 colours for both variants – Racing Red, Caribbean Blue, Ebony Black Red, Ebony Black Blue and Ebony Black White.

To celebrate 20 years of “pulsar mania”, Bajaj Auto has announced an INR 4,000 cash benefit on the purchase of either a brand-new Pulsar NS160 or Pulsar 150 SD. The two-wheeler giant is also offering an INR 18,348 low down payment scheme. Of course, there are terms and conditions with both these offers. Hence, it is advised to visit your nearest authorised Bajaj Auto service centre to learn more about them. And hurry a little because these offers are also likely to be valid for a limited period.

The Bajaj Pulsar NS160 is currently available at INR 1,15,091. It has 3 colour options - Metallic Pearl White, Burnt Red, and Pewter Grey. Powering this motorcycle is a 160cc single-cylinder engine with 4 valves and two spark plugs. The oil-cooled motor is capable of delivering 17.2 PS of max power at 9000 rpm and 14.6 Nm of peak torque at 7250 rpm. The Pulsar NS160 competes with the TVS Apache RTR 160 and the likes.

On the other hand, the Bajaj Pulsar 150 SD retails at INR 1,04,365. For this amount, you will get a good-looking motorcycle drawing power from a 150cc single-cylinder engine that makes 14 PS of max power at 8500 rpm and 13.25 Nm of peak torque at 6500 rpm. The motorcycle weighs 148 kg and comes with a single-channel ABS. It has 4 colour options - blue/black, red/black, black/red, and white/black.

In other news, Bajaj Auto is preparing to launch the biggest Pulsar during the upcoming festive season. The upcoming model will be based on an all-new platform that will be used in several iterations of the Pulsar brand over the next 12 months.

All prices are ex-showroom, Delhi

As per the company’s official website, the Bajaj Pulsar 150 is now available in new pearl white and sapphire blue colour options. On the other hand, the Twin Disc variant of the motorcycle has 3 new paint schemes - volcanic red, pearl white, and sparkle black. Interestingly, the updated model started to arrive at dealerships last month itself and there are walkaround videos that suggest that the Pulsar 150 has 4 new colour options - volcanic red, pearl white, sapphire blue, and sparkle black. Perhaps, Bajaj Auto is yet to fully update its website.

The new colour options of the Bajaj Pulsar 150 are quite attractive and should be able to rope in more customers. They feature a blacked-out engine, exhaust, and alloy wheels that enhance the sportiness of the motorcycle. The addition of faux carbon fibre stickers on parts like the front fender and side panels is also a nice touch. Other than that, there are updated graphics on the fuel tank, belly pan, headlight cowl, and rear cowl, that improve the motorcycle’s overall visual appeal.

The changes are limited to the colourways only. Mechanically, the Pulsar 150 remains the same. It is powered by a 149.50cc single-cylinder engine that features 2 valves and twin spark plugs. It is capable of producing 14PS of max power at 8500rpm and 13.25Nm of peak torque at 6500rpm.

For the new colours, Bajaj Auto is asking INR 1,01,818* for the drum brake variant of the Pulsar 150 whereas the Twin Disc model in the new paint options is available at INR 1,04,819*. The Neon edition does not get any updates.

We can see in the rendering that the Bajaj Pulsar 150 has been given a major makeover. The only two components that help to identify the motorcycle are the fuel tank with the Pulsar logo and the engine. Let’s have a look at some of the changes that have been incorporated into this machine.

The front end has been totally revamped. The handlebar appears to have been raised and the headlight has been replaced by a vertical plate. Below it is a motocross-style beak. The suspension system consists of USD forks at the front and a rear monoshok. We can also see that the alloy wheels are given away for a set of wire-spoke wheels that are fitted with knobbier off-road tyres. Thanks to these changes, the ground clearance has been considerably increased.

Moving towards the back, we see a flat, bench-type seat, revised side panels, a new swingarm, and a chain and sprocket set. The tail section of the motorcycle has been modified to gel with the overall theme. There are no side turn signals and taillight on this machine. We can also see a different exhaust that has been fitted at a higher position, perhaps, to enhance the water wading capabilities of the motorbike.

With all the changes that have been made to the motorcycle, it appears that this Bajaj Pulsar 150 Motocross edition wouldn’t be a road-legal vehicle. However, even though it has a less-powered engine, it would still give the Hero Xpulse 200 a run for its money thanks to the kind of equipment it has.

The first look at the Bajaj Pulsar 150 cafe racer rendering instantly reminds us of the Harley-Davidson Street 750. The headlight cowl and USD front forks with gaiters appear to have been borrowed from the Harley. We aren’t complaining because the setup looks fantastic. We can also see in the rendered image that while the fuel tank and shrouds have been left unchanged, the seat has been redesigned to suit the cafe racer character of the motorcycle. Of course, it had to be a single-seater only and, thus, there’s a rear seat cowl as well. The original, long rear fender and taillamp setup have been done away with and a short and sporty tail tidy has taken its place.

The Bajaj Pulsar 150 cafe racer in its digital form also features a muscular-looking belly pan and attractive alloy wheels that are using slick tyres and houses larger rotors. To enhance the overall sportiness, the twin rear shock absorbers have been replaced by a gas-charged monoshock. We also find the custom exhaust to be very stylish. Looking closely, we find that the stock side turn indicators haven’t been changed. They don’t really go well with the cafe racer look and should have been tweaked to suit the new design of the motorcycle.

Overall, we find the Bajaj Pulsar 150 cafe racer rendering to be an eye-catching design and give a thumbs up to it. What do you have to say about it? Let us know in the comments below.

This video has been uploaded by YouTuber Jet Wheels. The footage contains all the four new colours of the Bajaj Pulsar 150. A close observation of the video clip reveals that the white and black colour options have red and black graphics on the fuel tank, belly pan, rear cowl and headlight cowl. Similarly, the blue and red colour options have white and black graphics on the same parts. Apart from these similarities, all new paint schemes have a matte finish and feature faux carbon-fibre treatment on the side panels and front mudguard.

The new Bajaj Pulsar 150 colours also have a blacked-out engine, alloy wheels, and exhaust which add to the motorcycle’s sportiness and enhance its overall visual appeal.

While the Bajaj Pulsar 150’s new colour options have been completely revealed, the company is yet to make an official announcement regarding the same. The current model of the 150cc motorcycle is available in two paint choices - black/blue and black/red. It retails at INR 1,03,072 (ex-showroom, Delhi). So, expect the new colours to cost slightly more. Interestingly, Bajaj Auto has introduced the same new paint options for the 2021 Pulsar 180.

We came across this modified Bajaj Pulsar 150 via the YouTube video of MotoMahal. In the video, the host details the changes that have been performed on this Pulsar 150 to make it adopt the cafe racer theme. Talking of changes, the rear sub-frame has been modified to feature a single-seat setup. It also gets a fibreglass seat cowl behind the rider’s seat. Moreover, the fuel tank has been replaced by that of the Royal Enfield Himalayan. Right beneath the rider’s seat, a conical free-flow air filter can be seen. To let the engine exhale freely, an aftermarket double-barrel exhaust is used here.

The tuner has also replaced the conventional right-side-up telescopic forks with upside-down units borrowed from KTM. The front alloy wheel also comes from KTM, but the tuner has replaced the handlebars with clip-on units imported from Malaysia. With bar-end type rearview mirrors, the overall stance of this motorcycle looks forward biased. This modified example looks alluring. Besides, the regular headlamp of the Pulsar is binned for a custom neo-retro unit now. The black paint scheme with bronze speed strips looks dope too.

This modification job has been performed by Nitro Street. While it certainly looks appealing with these modifications, it now misses out on the practicality-quotient. The Bajaj Pulsar 150 is currently on sale at a price tag of INR 1.00 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi), and it rivals the likes of Honda Unicorn and TVS Apache RTR 160. It comes with a 150 cc single-cylinder air-cooled engine that produces 14 PS of peak power and 13.25 Nm of max torque.

The video has been uploaded by YouTuber Biker Prakash Choudhary. We can see in the footage that the 2021 Bajaj Pulsar 150 is flaunting its new Moon White colour option which has enhanced the overall visual appeal of the motorcycle. Bajaj Auto has used a faux carbon-fibre finish on the front fender and side panels for a sportier touch. The glossy black treatment on certain parts such as the front mudguard, headlight cowl, alloy wheels, exhaust, and engine works in favour of the motorcycle.

We can also see in the video that the new Moon White colour option of the 2021 Bajaj Pulsar 150 has an attractive set of red and black graphics which gels well with the livery. There’s also a glossy black fuel tank pad which works as a contrast with the white fuel tank. We also like the embossed or 3D “Pulsar” logo. The graphics on the fuel tank extend to the tank shrouds.

Moving to the rear end of the 2021 Bajaj Pulsar 150, we find the same set of red and black decals used on the rear cowls. At the back, the signature twin LED strips are present as the taillamp of the motorcycle. Apart from the cosmetic updates, no other changes have been made to the bike. So, the engine and the cycle parts remain untouched.

From what information is available at the moment, it appears that this new Moon White colour will be available only with the Bajaj Pulsar 150 Twin Disc variant. Bajaj Auto is yet to update its website in this regard. Since the new motorcycle has already started arriving at the company’s dealerships, we are expecting it to be launched very soon. Pricing remains a mystery as of now. For reference, the current model of the Pulsar 150 Twin Disc model retails at INR 1.03 lakh (ex-showroom).

Bajaj Pulsar 150 Instrument Console Updated Features

We can see that while the overall design and shape remain the same as before, however, Bajaj Auto has added a few features to the system; there's a revised information layout. For example, the positions of the fuel level indicator, trip meter, and odometer have been changed.

As per the video, the 2021 Bajaj Pulsar 150 instrument cluster also shows information about the Average Fuel Economy and Instant Fuel Economy. Another interesting data here is the Distance to Empty. The analogue tachometer and blue background lighting have been left untouched. The updated instrument cluster of the 2021 Bajaj Pulsar 150 appears to be the same unit that the company has included in the 2021 Pulsar 220F.

Bajaj Pulsar 150 Other New Features

The footage tells us that the 2021 Bajaj Pulsar 150 also comes with a repositioned speedometer wire. This wire used to be connected to the front wheel in the previous model. However, in the new model, it has been linked to the rear wheel. Apart from that, the left side engine cover has been slightly redesigned.

Except for the aforementioned changes, nothing else has been changed. The motorcycle continues to draw power from a 149.50cc single-cylinder engine which comes with 2 valves, twin spark, and fuel injection. It is capable of churning out 14PS of max power at 8500rpm and 13.25Nm of peak torque at 6500rpm.

We’ve grown up watching numerous Bajaj Pulsar videos. Most of them, especially TV commercials, always had the thrill which the company says is an integral part of all Pulsar models. The latest Bajaj Pulsar video carries that sensation ahead and highlights the brand’s global presence.

Several Pulsar models, including the NS200, RS200, and the Neon Range, have been shown in the latest video. We can see the riders perform various stunts - riding down the stairs, jumping on boats, carrying out wheelies, burnouts, donuts, stoppies, and whatnot! Of course, these stunts have been performed by professionals under controlled environments. But they have been carried out at different locations around the world including Thailand, Egypt, Rio, the Philippines, Istanbul, and, of course, India.

India today has one of the most stringent emission norms, the Bharat Stage-VI. While this change is good for the environment, it has brought major price hikes. Motorcycles are no different and still have become 7-10% more expensive now. Below are the best bikes under 1 lakh in India:

Hero Splendor iSmart 110 (INR 67,100)

The Hero Splendor name needs no introduction. It is the largest selling motorcycle range in the country. The Hero Splendor iSmart has gained several new features and this has increased its price significantly. However, with a price tag of INR 67,100 (ex-showroom, Delhi), the Hero Splendor iSmart 110 is still a very compelling product.

Hero now offers the Splendor iSmart with a new fuel-injected engine. The 113.2 cc air-cooled mill produces 9 PS of power and 9.89 Nm of torque. The BS6 engine offers 10% more torque and leads to an 88% reduction in NOx emissions. Other features include an Idle Stop and Start System (i3S), 18-inch alloy wheels, side stand indicator and a front disc brake. Besides that, the BS6 Hero Splendor iSmart 110 boasts 180 mm ground clearance, a 15 mm improvement over the discontinued model.

Honda SP 125 (INR 73,452)

The company has tried to offer a sporty alternative in the executive commuter segment, with an accessible price tag of INR 73,452 for the drum brake variant and INR 77,652 for the disc brake variant (both prices ex-showroom, Delhi).

The Honda SP 125 is fitted with an ACG starter which helps in silent starts. Besides it gets an LED headlamp, digital instrumentation, low rolling resistance tyres, and a first in segment engine start-stop switch. Besides, Honda offers a six-year warranty with the SP 125 (three years standard and three years optional).

Customers can get the Honda SP 125 in four colour options: Striking Green, Imperial Red Metallic, Pearl Siren Blue, and Matte Axis Grey Metallic.

Bajaj Pulsar 150 Neon (INR 85,536)

Introduced first in 2001, the Bajaj Pulsar brand has been instrumental in changing the way India rides. The Pulsar 150 has over the years gained on the price tag front over the years. However, the company does offer a more affordable, funkier looking variant now, the Bajaj Pulsar 150 Neon, targeting the youth. At INR 85,536, (ex-showroom, Delhi) it is around INR 13,000 cheaper than the standard Pulsar 150 (discs at both ends).

The Bajaj Pulsar 150 Neon looks very similar to the standard Pulsar 150, save for the neon colouring on the badging, single-piece grabrail, tank extension and faux vent on the side panel. It is fitted with a halogen headlamp while the instrumentation is the familiar semi-digital unit with an analogue tachometer and digital speedometer.

At the heart of the Bajaj Pulsar 150 Neon is a 149.5 cc air-cooled, two-valve, twin-spark engine. Coupled to a five-speed gearbox, it can produce 14 PS of power and 13.4 Nm of torque.

The Bajaj Pulsar 150 Neon is retailed in three colours: Neon Red, Neon Green, and Neon Lime Green.

TVS Apache RTR 160 (INR 95,000)

The BS-VI transition has seen several motorcycle manufacturers axe their old products, but that’s not the case with the TVS Apache RTR 160. Positioned as a more affordable offering in the 150-160 cc segment as compared to its 4-valved cousin, the TVS Apache RTR 160 is priced at INR 95,000 for the drum brake variant and INR 98,000 for the disc brake variant (both prices, ex-showroom, Delhi).

Continuing with the same design philosophy, the TVS Apache RTR 160 is powered by a 159.7 cc air-cooled, two-valve mill. Coupled to a five-speed gearbox, the engine can dish out 15.53 PS of power and 13.9 Nm of torque. The bike's features list includes GTT (Glide Through Traffic), adjustable split clip styled handlebar, adaptable brake pedal and gear lever, split grabrail and semi-digital instrumentation.

While the motorcycle seems good on paper, with all desired features and specifications, there's one major gripe. The TVS Apache RTR 160’s powerplant is prone to producing vibrations at high engine speeds.

The TVS Apache RTR 160 is available in six colour options: Pearl White, Matte Blue, Gloss Red, Gloss Black, T Grey, and Matte Red.

Bajaj Avenger Street 160 (INR 94,893)

One of the most affordable cruiser motorcycles available in India is the Bajaj Avenger Street 160. Looking almost identical to the bigger, more expensive Street 220, the Bajaj Avenger Street 160 is priced at INR 94,893 (ex-showroom, Delhi).

The powertrain in the Bajaj Avenger Street 160 is a 160 cc air-cooled, DTS-i mill which is capable of producing 15 PS of power and 13.7 Nm of torque. In terms of features, the Bajaj Avenger Street 160 gets alloy wheels, halogen headlamp with LED daytime running light, digital instrumentation and a 130 mm rear tyre which Bajaj for some weird reason calls ‘super wide’.

The BS-VI Bajaj Pulsar 150 Twin Disc features the same decals as the BS-IV version. The instrumentation console is the same mix of digital and analogue display, with the tachometer continuing to be the latter. However, unlike on the old Pulsar 150 Twin Disc, the display comes with an engine warning light on the new Pulsar 150 Twin Disc.

The engine is the same 149.5 cc single-cylinder, air-cooled twin-spark DTS-i engine. Coupled to a 5-speed transmission, it produces 14 PS of power at 8,000 rpm and 13.4 Nm at 6,000 rpm in BS-IV tune. We expect the BS-VI version to have slightly lower outputs. The suspension system will be an unchanged 37 unit conventional telescopic fork at the front and twin gas-charged springs at the rear.

Braking duties are administered by a 260 mm disc at the front and a 230 mm unit at the rear. Like the BS-IV motorcycle, the BS-VI model is expected to have a single-channel ABS unit. Similarly, the headlamp will be a halogen unit. Other features will include split seats and a clip-on style handlebar. The Bajaj Pulsar 150 Twin Disc’s BS-VI fuel-injected powertrain will also be shared with the Pulsar 150 (front disc only) and Pulsar 150 Neon.
