2018 Bajaj Pulsar 150 Prices Disclosed Before Launch
The updated Pulsar 150 commands a premium of Rs 2,300 over the outgoing model.
After a spy image of the new 2018 Bajaj Pulsar 150 surfaced online last week, the bikemaker has now disclosed its prices. The new Pulsar 150 is priced at Rs 89,843 (on-road Delhi) - a rise of just Rs 2,300 over the outgoing model. Bookings for the same have also been opened.
Considering the mechanical and cosmetic changes it gets, the price hike seems to be justified. A dual-tone colour scheme, split-seat configuration, fatter forks at the front and a rear disc brake make up the list of mechanical updates. However, the bike’s bodywork, the 240mm front disc and the twin gas-charged rear shock dampers remain unchanged.
It is expected to carry forward the same 149cc single-cylinder, air-cooled DTSi engine like the outgoing model. The power and torque output for the same is rated at 14PS at 8000rpm and 13.4Nm at 6000rpm respectively. The engine is coupled to a 5-speed transmission system.
Unfortunately, the new Pulsar 150 still doesn’t come with ABS or CBS. The Government, however, has decreed that bikes with a displacement of 125cc or more launched after April 1, 2018, must be equipped with ABS. And hence, we expect the 2018 Pulsar 150 to be launched in the next few days, most likely before the April 1 deadline.
Once launched, the Bajaj Pulsar 150 will renew its rivalry with the likes of the Honda X-Blade and the Hero Xtreme Sports in India.

Bajaj Pulsar 150 (2018-2026) User Reviews
- reliable daily commuter with great mileage
Needed something dependable for daily city traffic that wouldn't eat up all petrol money. looked at a few other 150cc options but the pulsar 150 just felt like the right balance of price, low maintenance and that classic muscular look that never gets old. Honestly pretty smooth for daily running, engine has nice pickup in lower gears so overtaking in heavy trafffic is easy, getting a solid 45-50 km regularly, only slight downside is minor handle vibes past 85 kmph but for everyday city speeds, its steady and comfortable. Definitely 100 percent recommend it, if you want a reliable everyday bike with decent power and great fuel efficiency, maintenance is super cheap and spare parts are available anywhere. just a solid, no nonsense daily runner that gets the job done.
5 1 - Value for money
Best in class performances, easy handling in city traffic, smooth, but rugged at same time, easy on pocket for maintenance, definitely serves the purpose, pickup is perfect, been riding this one since 15 years, yet minimum service cost, after sales response is also impressive, definitely male, title claimed by company feels true when you ride one.

12 8 - A True All-Rounder in the 150cc Segment
I chose this bike because it feels smooth and stable on highways while still offering good control in the city, even though the suspension feels slightly stiff on rough roads. It gives good mileage, looks stylish and is comfortable enough for family rides, making it a practical and reliable choice. The ride so far has been very satisfying. It feels comfortable for daily use, gives good mileage and has strong pickup. Handling is stable and confident, especially on highways where it feels smooth and controlled even at higher speeds. Yes, I would recommend this bike. I bought it mainly for daily office travel and occasional weekend rides. It gives me decent mileage and the pickup is good enough for city traffic. On highways it feels stable and confident. The suspension is slightly stiff on rough roads but overall comfort is fine. If someone wants a practical, stylish and reliable bike in this budget, this is a good choice.
