Bajaj Auto has unveiled a refreshed version of its long-standing bestseller, the Pulsar 150, in the Indian market. This update is part of the brand's initiative to introduce its MY2026 model range, bringing subtle yet noticeable design and feature enhancements to keep the popular commuter motorcycle competitive.
Pricing and Variants: What's the New Cost?
The updated Bajaj Pulsar 150 arrives with a revised price tag, starting from ₹108,772 (ex-showroom) for the base variant. The motorcycle is offered in a total of four variants, with the top-end model priced at ₹115,481 (ex-showroom).
The variant-wise ex-showroom pricing is as follows:
- Bajaj Pulsar 150 SD (Single disc): ₹108,772
- Bajaj Pulsar 150 SD UG: ₹111,669
- Bajaj Pulsar 150 TD (Twin disc): ₹115,481
Design and Feature Refresh: The Key Changes
While the iconic and muscular silhouette of the Pulsar 150 remains untouched, Bajaj has infused a contemporary feel through new aesthetics. The most significant functional upgrade is the introduction of an LED headlamp and LED turn indicators. This move not only modernizes the bike's front profile but is also expected to offer better visibility for riders during night conditions.
Further enhancing its fresh appeal are new colour options and updated body graphics. The mechanical underpinnings, including the brake and suspension setup with telescopic forks and dual springs on 17-inch alloy wheels, continue unchanged from the outgoing model.
Performance: Unchanged and Reliable
Under the hood, the updated Pulsar 150 retains the trusted mechanical heart. It continues to be powered by the same 149.5 cc, air-cooled, single-cylinder engine, paired with a five-speed gearbox. This engine is known for delivering a balanced mix of efficiency and sporty performance, producing 13.8 bhp of peak power and 13.25 Nm of maximum torque.
By focusing on visual updates and modern lighting while keeping the proven mechanics intact, Bajaj Auto aims to make the Pulsar 150 more appealing to a new generation of riders without alienating its existing loyal customer base. This strategic refresh is likely to help the model maintain its stronghold in the fiercely competitive 150cc commuter motorcycle segment in India.
