Spied - Updated 2018 Bajaj Pulsar 150
The 2018 Pulsar 150 gets cosmetic and mechanical updates, most likely limited to the paint job and chassis respectively.
A spy image of the upcoming Bajaj Pulsar 150 has recently surfaced online, revealing the updates the motorcycle will get for 2018. The spy shot of the 2018 Pulsar 150 shows the bike in a new color shade (black/blue), with a split-seat configuration, fatter telescopic front forks and front and rear discs, unlike the current model. Overall, the design tweaks are inspired by its elder sibling, the Pulsar 180 which apparently makes it look sharper and bolder.
The new colour tone on the spy image hints at more dual-tone options that are likely to be announced at launch. Changes to the engine are unlikely and it is expected to continue with the same DTS-i single-cylinder 149cc engine which delivers 14PS of power at 8,000rpm and 13.4Nm of torque at 6,000rpm respectively. Apart from the fatter telescopic forks at the front and a new rear disc brake, no changes are expected in the suspension and braking department. The instrument cluster, although not visible in the spy shot, is expected to be a fully-digital unit instead of the semi-digital one seen on the current model.
The current Pulsar 150 is priced at Rs 73,626 (ex-showroom Delhi) and the updated model is expected to command a premium of around Rs 3,000. Despite the price hike, the updated Bajaj Pulsar 150 will still undercut the Honda X-Blade priced at Rs 78,500 and the Hero Xtreme Sports which retails for Rs 78,226 (all prices ex-showroom Delhi). The new Pulsar 150 should be launched sometime next week, given the picture has been taken at a dealer dockyard.

Bajaj Pulsar 150 User Reviews
- reliable daily commuter with great mileageNeeded 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.Read More3

- A True All-Rounder in the 150cc SegmentI chose this bike because it feels smooth and stable on highways while still offering good control in the city, even though the suspension feels slightly stiff on rough roads. It gives good mileage, looks stylish and is comfortable enough for family rides, making it a practical and reliable choice. The ride so far has been very satisfying. It feels comfortable for daily use, gives good mileage and has strong pickup. Handling is stable and confident, especially on highways where it feels smooth and controlled even at higher speeds. Yes, I would recommend this bike. I bought it mainly for daily office travel and occasional weekend rides. It gives me decent mileage and the pickup is good enough for city traffic. On highways it feels stable and confident. The suspension is slightly stiff on rough roads but overall comfort is fine. If someone wants a practical, stylish and reliable bike in this budget, this is a good choice.Read More10 2
