Design and Styling: A Smaller Sibling with Big Looks
Despite the camouflage, the Pulsar N125’s design clearly borrows elements from its larger sibling, the Bajaj Pulsar N150. The motorcycle boasts a muscular stance with a robust fuel tank adorned with sharp shrouds and a streamlined rear section. The front end features a newly designed headlight, complemented by an easy-to-reach handlebar that hints at a comfortable, rider-friendly ergonomic setup.
Additional design highlights include:
- Split Seat Arrangement: Offers a blend of aesthetics and practicality.
- Sleek Single-Piece Grab Rail: Enhances both style and passenger comfort.
- Underbelly Exhaust: Adds to the bike’s sporty appeal.
Rider Comfort and Ergonomics
The Pulsar N125 is designed with rider comfort in mind, featuring an upright riding posture supported by mid-set footpegs. The suspension setup includes a telescopic fork at the front, which is partially covered, and a monoshock at the rear, ensuring a smooth ride. Safety and convenience are further enhanced with the inclusion of a leg guard and a center stand.
Performance and Engine Expectations
Bajaj is likely to equip the Pulsar N125 with a new 125cc engine, possibly an updated version over current models in this segment, which could set it apart from competitors like the TVS Raider 125, Hero Xtreme 125R, and Honda SP 125. Another possibility is a downsized version of the N150’s engine, which would provide the Pulsar N125 with a refined and powerful performance edge.
Launch and Market Positioning
With its anticipated launch in the coming months, the Bajaj Pulsar N125 is expected to be priced around Rs. 1 lakh. This price point places it directly in competition with other top models in the 125cc segment, making it a strong contender in the market.
