The Bajaj Pulsar 150 gets the tried and tested design that is similar to the older Pulsars, but with a few changes here and there. It retains themean and aggressive looks and the new dual tone colour schemes amplify this character. The bike now comes with twin pilot lamps and a tiny windscreen and the overall design is quite sporty. That said, even with these elements, the design does come off as a bit dated.

The Bajaj Pulsar 150 comes with a BS6 2.0 compliant 149.5cc, air-cooled single-cylinder, 2-valve engine. It delivers 14PS at 8500rpm and 13.25Nm at 6500rpm, paired with a 5-speed transmission. It offers sufficient performance for daily city commutes and occasional long rides on the highway. The bike feels more refined and responsive when riding at lower speeds. It now offers better throttle response and has reduced engine noise.

The Bajaj Pulsar 150 has better rolling acceleration than the previous version, it now offers smoother gearshifts, thanks to the addition of a low-drag clutch. It delivers a mileage of 46-50kmpl. There has been a slight decrease in top-end performance. However, considering the improvements in acceleration and refinement, we believe it's a fair trade-off.

The Pulsar 150 comes with a 37mm telescopic fork and 5-step preload adjustable gas charged shock absorbers. The suspension setup is balanced and is able to absorb most bumps and potholes without much trouble. 

Braking duties are handled by a 260mm front and 130mm drum brake in the rear on the single-disc variant, whereas on the dual-disc variant comes with a 230mm rear disc. The brakes provide good bite and steady progression, making the bike come to a stop without much trouble. The bike rolls on 17-inch alloy wheels at the front and rear wrapped around in tubeless tyres. 

Seating setup on the bike varies according to the variant, the single-disc gets a single-piece seat whereas the dual-disc variant gets a sporty split seat setup. Both the seats are well-cushioned and comfortable. 

The wide single-piece grab rail on the single-disc version may not look very good due to its dated design, but it is practical and makes it easier for the pillion to hold on to as compared to the split grab rails. Both variants get clip-on handlebars but the ones in the twin disc variant are slightly angled downwards for a sportier riding position. That said, the overall riding posture on both variants is comfortable enough for everyday commutes.

The Bajaj Pulsar 150 is quite basic when it comes to features, it gets a semi-digital instrument console with an analogue tachometer and a digital display that gives readouts like speed, fuel levels, tripmeter and odometer. 

The Bajaj Pulsar 150 is a value-for-money motorcycle that offers decent performance. If you are looking for a stylish bike with reasonable performance in the 150cc category, then the Pulsar 150 can be a decent option for you.
