Updated Bajaj Pulsar India Launch Soon: Here’s What We Know So Far
Same Pulsar but in a much more refreshed avatar
[UPDATE: Bajaj has launched the updated Pulsar 125]
The Bajaj Pulsar 125 has been the entry point into the Pulsar segment. The bike has been relatively unchanged for a while now. While there’s a whole new generation of Pulsars expected later this year, Bajaj has quietly updated the existing model, just like the Pulsar 150 and the Pulsar 220F. However, it has only received cosmetic changes. That said, the bike has already reached multiple dealerships in the country.
What’s New
The biggest change on the refreshed Bajaj Pulsar 125 is the redesigned front end. It now gets a sharper-looking headlight cowl, which is identical to the one seen on the new Pulsar 150. Along with the updated styling, the bike also benefits from an all-LED lighting setup, including LED indicators. However, the real-world difference of the updated lighting remains to be seen till we test the bike.
Included in the update are revised colour schemes which bring in new graphics as well as rim stickers that match the bodywork colours. The overall styling of the bike has remained the same and doesn’t change the appeal of the bike.
What Will Remain The Same?
Under the skin, the Pulsar 125 is expected to stay completely unchanged. It will continue to be powered by the same 124.4cc, air-cooled, single-cylinder engine that produces 11.8PS and 10.8Nm, paired with a 5-speed gearbox.
The chassis and suspension setup are also likely to be carried over as is. The bike will retain conventional telescopic fork and twin shock absorbers, which means it will have the comfort levels that we have experienced previously.
Even the wheel and braking setup is expected to remain identical, with 17-inch alloy wheels, a front disc brake, and a rear drum brake. The tyres should continue to be a 90-section unit at the front and a 100-section unit at the rear.
The semi-digital LCD instrument cluster introduced earlier is also expected to continue without any changes. It already offers basic smartphone connectivity features like call and SMS alerts, though it still misses out on turn-by-turn navigation.
Expected Price & Variant Details
At present, the Bajaj Pulsar 125 is available in Maharashtra in three different variants. Here are the current ex-showroom prices:

We have received the pricing ahead of its launch, and as per our sources, here’s what the price will be ex-showroom:

The major difference between the two bikes is that of the seat type. The revised pricing indicates a minor reshuffle in the lineup along with a small increase of around Rs 2,500 to Rs 3,000, depending on the variant. Considering the addition of an all-LED lighting setup, updated styling, and fresh graphics, this slight premium seems justified.
Once launched, the updated Bajaj Pulsar 125 will go up against the Honda Shine 125, TVS Raider and the Hero Glamour 125 in India. That said, the bike is expected to be launched in a few days, which is when we will get the official pricing. Stay tuned until then.
