Bajaj has brought big-bike vibes to the budget segment with the Pulsar 125, giving Indian riders a stylish and sporty option without spending too much. It’s not just another 125cc commuter—it looks bold, performs well, and has that classic Pulsar feel we all know and love.
Stylish Looks Without Breaking the Bank
Even though it’s the entry-level Pulsar, the Pulsar 125 still looks like a true member of the family. It comes with sharp tank shrouds, wolf-eye headlamps, cool body graphics, and a sporty split-seat in some variants. The clip-on handlebars and muscular design give it a proper sportbike look.
It also has details like alloy wheels, textured tank pads, and LED tail lamps that make it feel more premium bike than other bikes in its affordable price range. Color choices like black, Solar Red, Neon Blue, and Platinum Silver make sure it grabs attention on the roads.
Engine and Power of Pulsar 125
This bike is powered by a 124.4cc single-cylinder, air-cooled DTS-i engine. It puts out 11.8 PS of power and 10.8 Nm of torque, which is quite impressive for a 125cc bike. The engine is paired with a 5-speed gearbox that gives smooth shifts and a lively ride.
With a 0-60 km/h time of under 7 seconds, the Pulsar 125 feels quick in the city. The engine is well-balanced with less vibrations, so it stays comfortable even when you ride a little fast.
Comfort and Features
The Pulsar 125 doesn’t skip on comfort. It has telescopic front forks and twin Nitrox rear shock absorbers, which make it smooth over bad roads. The riding position is sporty but still good for daily commuting.
You also get a semi-digital instrument cluster, backlit switches, electric start, and even a disc brake option. There’s under-seat storage, stylish grab rails, and decent pillion comfort too.
Braking and Safety You Can Trust
The bike comes in drum and disc brake options, and both versions have CBS (Combined Braking System) for added safety. The 240mm front disc (in the disc variant) gives better braking in city and emergency situations.
With a 165mm ground clearance and 1320mm wheelbase, the Pulsar 125 handles speed bumps and potholes with ease while staying stable on turns.
Fuel Efficiency That Saves Money
Mileage is always important in India, and this bike does well here too. The Pulsar 125 delivers around 55 to 60 kmpl, which makes it super efficient. The 11.5-litre fuel tank helps cover long distances without too many fuel stops. (Though, Bajaj maybe could have given a slightly bigger tank!)
