Pulsar 150 SD Single Seat: Variant Explained
This variant is the smartest way into the new Pulsar 150 lineup if you're on a budget
Bajaj got the Pulsar 150 a proper next-generation upgrade in August 2026. The Pulsar 150 currently sells in three variants; Single Disc (SD) Single Seat is where the range starts. The SD Single Seat is priced at Rs 1,15,233 (ex-showroom, Delhi). The name, although, gives away the core feature; there's more to it than just that. Here's the full breakdown:
Design
Visually, nothing about this variant looks cut-price from the outside. It gets the same sharp LED headlamp and reworked tail lamp as the pricier trims, just without the belly pan, and with regular bulb turn signals instead of LED units. Neither of those are dealbreakers, if you ask me.
Features
The screen here is a 5-inch colour LCD rather than a TFT, but that isn’t necessarily a dealbreaker for some buyers. That’s because it still comes with Bluetooth and turn-by-turn navigation built in, so you're not losing out on directions. What you don't get is a hazard light switch. Everything else carries over: USB-C charging, the low-speed crawl-assist feature for creeping through traffic, and more importantly, all three riding modes, Road, Rain, and Sport.
Engine and Underpinnings
Power comes from the same 149.5cc engine (air-oil-cooled) fitted across the range, making 14PS at 8000rpm and 14.1Nm at 6500rpm. None of the SD's cost savings come from the engine, so it should feel just as quick as the pricier variants.
The difference lies in the braking setup. A 130mm rear drum replaces the rear disc offered on the higher variants, while the front continues with the same 260mm disc. Suspension is shared too, with the same 33mm telescopic fork and monoshock at the rear, and it rides on identical 80/100-17 front and 100/90-17 rear tyres.
BikeDekho Says
The Single Disc (SD) variant makes a genuinely strong case for itself for budget-conscious riders. The only meaningful things you're giving up are the rear disc brake and the TFT console. Everything else, from the engine and suspension, carries over unchanged.
It’s about Rs 7,000 dearer than the TFT-equipped models. However, more than the cost constraint, it’s more about the personal preference of the rider, as not everyone may like an overly modern (and costly to replace if something goes wrong) TFT screen. So to such riders, the base variant makes a lot of sense, especially considering the fact that it doesn’t really feel like a compromise as such, feature-wise.
