2026 Bajaj Pulsar 150 Spotted Ahead Of Its Launch
It’s 25 years of the Pulsar brand and the 150 has joined the celebrations with more than just a makeover
Quick Highlights:
-
2026 Bajaj Pulsar 150 looks oh so fresh!
-
It gets a new design, new features, and new underpinnings too
-
It could also be priced higher than the current Pulsar 150
Right on the heels of the Bajaj Pulsar 125, is the Pulsar 150 – in terms of spyshots, that is. Seen at a dealership, the updated Bajaj Pulsar 150 comes with a host of changes befitting the 25th anniversary celebrations of the Pulsar brand. While it looks new, let's first take a look at its underpinnings, which have been updated after quite some time
New Frame & Suspension
The biggest change is its new single-cradle frame, which replaces the older double-cradle unit. This might not only reduce its weight, but could also improve its handling. While the front still gets a conventional fork, the dual rear shocks have made way for a monoshock. Now how that changes Pulsar’s ride and handling remains to be seen, but we expect a positive change. The wheel size remains the same, 17 inches, but they have a different design now.
New Engine
The 2026 Pulsar 150 will have an updated engine as well. Spyshots reveal a new engine casing, revised exhaust routing, and a redesigned exhaust end-can. But coming to the heart of the matter – the engine now gets an oil-cooler and should have more performance. It should still be paired with a 5-speed gearbox. We can expect the engine and gearbox to feel more refined than the current model.
A New Look
The Pulsars have always been sporty-looking bikes and the new-one follows the same mantra. It gets a new LED headlight with integrated LED DRLs, adding to its sporty look. The tail-light has been slightly redesigned, and looks sharper too. However, Bajaj has reverted to bulb-type indicators for the new model. Overall, the new Pulsar 150 looks much sportier than its predecessor.
New Features
The spy shots also reveal a brand new colour LCD instrument console. The older bike came with a reverse LCD console which felt cluttered and wasn't the easiest to read. The new display is much bigger, and seems to be easier to read.It has a speedometer, tachometer, a fuel gauge, and a gear position indicator, which was missing on the previous model.
The display will also have Bluetooth smartphone connectivity with call and SMS alerts, and turn-by-turn navigation. These updates give the Pulsar 150 a much-needed boost in terms of features and make it more modern.
Expected Price And Rivals
The upcoming Bajaj Pulsar 150 is expected to be priced at around Rs 1.15 lakh (ex-showroom). With its launch expected to take place soon, it will rival the Honda Unicorn, Honda SP160, TVS Apache RTR 160 2V, and the Yamaha FZ-FI V3.
Bajaj Pulsar 150 User Reviews
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.

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.Read More
