Design and Style
First, in terms of design and style, the Pulsar 125 looks quite similar to its larger sibling, the Pulsar 150. The muscular tank, sporty graphics, and powerful body give it a more premium feel. The Carbon Fiber edition, in particular, looks even more stylish with its graphics. The split seat variant gives it a sports bike touch, which is especially popular with young people.
Engine and Performance
Coming to the engine and performance, this bike is powered by a 124.4cc, single-cylinder BS6 engine that produces 11.64bhp and 10.8Nm of torque. The engine is paired with a 5-speed gearbox. This engine is well-balanced for smooth riding on city roads and excellent highway performance. Suspension is provided by telescopic front forks and gas-charged twin shocks at the rear. Braking is handled by a 240mm disc brake at the front and a drum unit at the rear. This setup ensures stability and safety.
Features and Technology
In terms of features and technology, Bajaj has equipped the Pulsar 125 with impressive features. It comes with a fully digital instrument cluster with Bluetooth connectivity, allowing you to check notifications and call alerts. It also has a USB charging port, which is very useful on long rides.
Comfort and Riding Experience
In terms of comfort and riding experience, the 140 kg weight and 11.5 liter fuel tank make this bike balanced and practical. The single seat variant is more comfortable, while the split seat variant focuses on style and sportiness. Both variants offer the same reliable riding quality for which the Bajaj Pulsar is known.
