The newly launched most affordable Bajaj Pulsar is powered by a 124.38 cc air-cooled engine kicking out 12 horsepower and 11 Nm of peak torque
A few days ago, Bajaj launched its most affordable Pulsar ever in the Indian market. The Pulsar 125 Neon is sold in two variants as the drum brake model costs a highly competitive Rs. 64,000 and the front disc brake variant is priced at Rs. 66,618 (both prices, ex-showroom Delhi).
The Bajaj Pulsar 125 bridges the gap between buying a regular commuter and an entry-level sporty motorcycle at an accessible price range. Carrying the Pulsar brand name is an added advantage as it has been a consistent seller for the brand for more than a decade. Its timely arrival could help Bajaj revive its sales fortunes in these testing times prevailing in the industry.
The Pulsar 125 Neon derives most of its design cues from the bigger and popular Pulsar 150 Neon. While sharing underpinnings, the Pulsar 125 did go through cost-cutting measures as it does not have belly pan and fuel tank extension while its engine capacity does not mandate the use of ABS system as Combi-Braking System is employed.
