In India’s two-wheeler market, the Pulsar has been a sign of power, performance and aggressive styling in the country’s 2-wheeler market. Be it college students to office-goers, the Pulsar was, is, and will be popular owing to its aggressive appeal and a sporty feel.

And with the introduction of the all new Bajaj Pulsar 125, the brand has now made this heritage more accessible. At 125cc, this is a segment that is getting more and more crowded, however the Pulsar 125 sets itself apart from the competition by being a “mini muscle bike” according to Bajaj.

The new Pulsar 125 is not just about great mileage; it’s about chunky, powerful performance, aggressive good looks and modern features that promote the attitude in the new generation. It’s combined package of being small, powerful and having strong on-road presence, so is the ideal commuter for anyone seeking a sporty alternate commuter, which pretty much doesn’t suck out the fun nor useful part away.

Because at the outset the new Bajaj Pulsar 125 looks like one of its elder brothers from the Pulsar stable. It continues to feature the muscular fuel tank with chiseled shrouds, sleek tank extensions and dual-tone colours that lends it a bold stance. The graphics were brought up to date to give the bike a fresh and contemporary look. The Pulsar 125 isn’t short of attracting eyeballs, be it riding through the city or waiting at a college campus’s parking lot.

The bike sports a wolf-eyed headlamp featuring twin pilot lamps for that killer look. And the rear is just as impressive, featuring a sporty boomerang-shaped LED tail lamp. Even split grab rails and beautiful alloy wheels add to the overall appeal to make the Pulsar 125 look a lot costlier than what it really is. Bajaj has done an excellent job in ensuring the brand’s premium look doesn’t perish even in its entry-level line up.

Dependable Performance, With a Snappy Engine

Beneath the cowl, the Pulsar 125 gets a 124.4cc air-cooled single-cylinder DTS-i engine. This engine makes approximately 11.8 bhp of power and 10.8 Nm of torque, which may seem humble on paper, but the performance it shows in actual riding is punchy. The engine is responsive and the pickup is smooth even as you swerve through city traffic thanks to Bajaj’s reliable DTS-i technology.

What also works in favour of the Pulsar 125 is its brilliant power-to-weight ratio which should provide a sprightly performance without making huge dents in the mileage. Whether you’re passing traffic around town or opening up the throttle, there’s plenty of grunt to keep you entertained. The 5-speeder shifts with minimal effort and its clutch is light, so it’s painless to ride in traffic.

Bajaj for New Riders or Daily Commuters: TFor riders who are new to buying their first bike or just want to have a shared bike, which can provide them the burst of power without having to shift higher engine capacity bikes, the Pulsar 125 rides in the same lines with performance and practicality equal parts.

Comfortable ride, with plenty of utility features

The Pulsar 125 may appear to be sporty-looking, but Bajaj has not skimped on comfort either. The two-piece seat (only the disc gets this) is nice and cushioned and offers decent space for both the rider and the pillion. With an upright riding stance and raised handlebar, and easily reachable foot pegs, will not let you feel tired of a long haul commute. The bike’s suspension telescopic forks at the front and twin gas-charged shock absorbers at the rear is tailored to soak potholes and speed bumps typically seen in the country.

The Pulsar 125 is also equipped with basic essentials like a semi-digital instrument cluster that shows speed, fuel level, trip meter and all the basic readouts. The analogue tacho gives a sporty feel to it, and the back-lit switchgear is a premium touch few in the price range offer. Bajaj made sure that no small aspect was overlooked in designing a motorcycle that’s not only good looking; but also convenient to use.

Powerful Stopping and Sure Safety

Safety is also yet another aspect the Pulsar 125 is solid in. The bike can be had in drum and disc versions with the latter being accompanied by CBS (Combi-Braking System) for added safety. The top-end is equipped with a front disc (240 mm) that offers good braking performance, particularly during hard braking.

On city roads, the tires provide good amount of grip and even when riding at speed or into corners, the bike feels stable. The chassis disposes the bike with aplomb, riders will feel at eases whether riding solo or with pillion. Not that it’s built to do hardcore off-roading or be another highway cruise monster, the Pulsar 125 manages your routines to office and short highway hauls perfectly.

Stylish but Economical Choice for Youth Riders

Competitive pricing begins, and is amongst the most VFM motorcycles available in the 125cc class. Giving the Pulsar 125 an edge are Bajaj’s excellent service network and history for dependability which make it a good long-term associate.
