Bajaj Auto has finally launched the Bajaj Pulsar 125 Split-Seat variant in the country. The BS4-compliant version of this variant was limited to select states in the south where 125cc bikes were popular. But now, the BS6-compliant iteration of the split-seat variant has been launched pan-India. It is priced at Rs 79,091 (ex-showroom Delhi), which makes it Rs 3,597 more expensive than the disc brake variant of the Pulsar 125 Neon. The bike already started arriving at dealerships earlier this month.
As the name suggests, the Bajaj Pulsar 125 Split Seat comes with a split-seat setup instead of a single-piece seat like the standard version. It offers a slightly sportier stance complemented by an engine cowl. The 124.4cc single-cylinder air-cooled, counterbalanced engine with electronic carburetor produces 11.8PS at 8500rpm and 10.8Nm at 6500rpm. The engine works with the same 5-speed transmission as the standard model. While these figures may be slightly different from the Pulsar 125 Neon’s numbers on the brand’s official website, we have been told by Bajaj officials that the figures revealed in the press release are the correct ones.
Even the underpinnings -- a 31mm telescopic front fork and twin Nitrox rear shock absorbers -- have remained unchanged. The bike comes to a halt using a 240mm front disc as standard and a 130mm rear drum. It gets CBS too. Thanks to the different seat setup and the engine cowl, this motorcycle is 2kg heavier than the standard version, tipping the scale at 142kg kerb. The rest of the dimensions have remained unchanged. Like the regular variant, this bike rolls on 17-inch alloys wrapped with 80-section front and 100-section rear tubeless tyres.
The Bajaj Pulsar 125 Split-Seat variant is available in Neon Green (on Matte Black), Black Silver, and Black Red colour options. It goes up primarily against the Honda SP 125 and the Hero Glamour BS6.
