    How peppy is the new Pulsar 125’s performance?

    How peppy is the new Pulsar 125’s performance?

    We were quite surprised with the launch of the Bajaj Pulsar NS125. It seemed that Bajaj was diluting the Pulsar brand with another 125cc bike. More so, it is heavier than the standard Pulsar 125 and doesn’t make that much extra power. However, the new NS125 has turned out to be quite a revelation. Here’s what the performance numbers reveal about the small NS bike: 

    Acceleration

    Bajaj Pulsar NS125

    0-60kmph

    6.60 seconds

    0-80kmph

    12.27 seconds

    The NS125 uses a downsized version of the NS160’s air-cooled mill. While it struggles at low revs, it is a hoot once the revs start climbing up. It is the quickest 125cc air-cooled bike that we have tested, with the liquid-cooled KTM 125s being the only two bikes faster in the 125cc space.

    Roll-on Acceleration

    Bajaj Pulsar NS125

    30-70kmph in 3rd gear

    7.81 seconds

    40-80kmph in 4th gear

    10.53 seconds


    Since you have to wring the throttle to get it going, roll-on performance is not exactly brilliant. It is quicker than its standard Pulsar counterpart but when you want to make quick overtakes, your best solution would be to shift down a cog or two.

     

     

    Braking

    Bajaj Pulsar NS125

    80-0kmph

    39.68m

    60-0kmph

    21.36m

    This is one area where we feel the NS125 needs improvement. Its disc/drum brake setup doesn’t have quite the bite that we would have liked. Plus, with no ABS, it might be a bit hairy in panic braking scenarios.

    Fuel efficiency

    Bajaj Pulsar NS125

    City

    64.75kmpl

    Highway

    56.46kmpl

    Not only is the Pulsar NS125 one of the peppiest 125s in the market, it is also one of the most frugal bikes on sale today. It is far more fuel-efficient than the standard Pulsar 125 and also matches the Hero Glamour 125 BS6 with its city scores.

      VERY GOOD PERFORMANCE
      Service and maintenance charge is normal, mileage is 50 - 55 kmpl on highway, 45-50 kmpl in cities and streets. Overall, it is a quite good bike with good performance and minimal costs. Everyday rides upto hundred kms can be done easily, I ride daily around 80 kms and it is very easy for me and it's a sports bike even with only 125 CC engine.
