In order to spice up things ahead of the festive season, Bajaj Auto has introduced a new more affordable variant of the Bajaj Pulsar 125
The Pulsar 125 is the entry-level motorcycle in Bajaj Auto’s Pulsar portfolio, and the automaker offers it with a few different configurations to choose from, like drum brake/disc brake as well as single seat/split seat. Now, Bajaj has launched a more affordable variant of the Puslar 125 split seat, which is actually about Rs 7,000 cheaper than the previously offered sole split-seat trim.
Talking about the changes, the new entry-level Pulsar 125 split seat misses out on the front disc brake, and instead, it gets a drum brake up front with CBS. This has helped the manufacturer reduce the cost of the bike, and the new variant has been priced at Rs. 73,274 (ex-showroom, Delhi).
In contrast, the Pulsar 125 split seat disc brake variant costs Rs 80,218 (ex-showroom, Delhi), which makes the new variant almost Rs 7,000 more affordable than the disc brake version. This makes it slightly more accessible to buyers who are on a strict budget.
Over the regular Pulsar 125, the split seat version also gets a belly plan, split grab rails, contrast red or silver accents on a black base, and of course, a split seat. All of these changes are offered at a premium of just Rs 1,152 over the standard version’s ex-showroom price of Rs 72,122.
Here is an updated price list of all the configurations that the Bajaj Pulsar 125 is available with, take a look –
