Colour Options
The 2026 Bajaj Pulsar NS125 is now available in a new Pearl Metallic White color, with subtle pink highlights. This new color has made the streetfighter design of the NS125 even more sharp and aggressive. Also, 90-section front tires and 120-section rear tires have now been installed to further strengthen the bike’s style and stance, which were previously 80 and 100 sections respectively. This update also increases the bike’s road grip and stability.
Braking System
The biggest update is the integration of three ABS modes in the 2026 NS125 Rain, Road and Off-road. This single-channel ABS system adjusts the braking response according to the riding. Rain mode has maximum intervention, minimum in off-road mode, so that control is better on loose surface, and Road mode gives a standard, balanced setting. This feature gives the rider a safe and reliable braking experience in any situation.
Features
In terms of design, the Pulsar NS125 now comes with a fully digital instrument console that includes turn-by-turn navigation. This feature was previously only available on the larger NS models. Standard information like call and SMS notifications, gear position, and distance-to-empty are also displayed. This update provides riders with a modern and smart riding experience.
Engine
The engine is the same 124.45cc single-cylinder, air-cooled unit, generating 12 PS power at 8,500 RPM and 11 Nm torque at 7,000 RPM. With a 5-speed gearbox, this powertrain gives riders a balanced performance. There has been no change in the perimeter frame, RSU telescopic front forks and preload-adjustable rear monoshock. The braking hardware includes a 240mm front disc and 130mm rear drums, which ensure better braking with an updated ABS system. The total weight is 144kg and the seat height is 805mm, making it suitable for both the city and long distances.
