The Bajaj Pulsar P150 is a new motorcycle that sits between the Pulsar N160 and the Pulsar 150 in terms of price (1,16,755; ex-showroom, Delhi).

More Details About The Bajaj Pulsar P150

The Pulsar P150 is driven by a single-cylinder, air-cooled, 149cc motor that produces 14.5hp at 8,500rpm with 13.5Nm of torque at 6,000rpm. This motor is hardly cutting-edge; it has two valves and requires manual starting. The P150 has a 14-liter gasoline tank and, when fully loaded, weighs 140 kilograms, which is 10 kilograms less than the current Pulsar 150. The 165mm ground clearance and 790mm seat height make this vehicle very approachable. A 31mm adjustable fork or a principal takes care of suspension chores. Single-channel ABS supplements the braking power of a 260mm rear disc or a 230mm rear disc.

The Pulsar P150 may be purchased in either a single-seat or a split-seat configuration. The single-seater model is built on simpler components like a rear drum brake or a single-piece wrist, while the two-seater version is upgraded with a rear disc brake & clip-on handlebars. The front and rear tires on the single disc model are 80/100-17 and 100/90-17 inches in diameter, while those on the twin disc model are 90/90-17 and 110/90-17 inches.

The P150 may be the entry-level option in the widely-admired Pulsar family, but it still comes with many neat extras. It employs the same semi-digital ‘infinity’ instrument console seen in the Pulsar N160, which displays the gear position and provides a range indication. Here, you can get your hands on a projector headlamp made entirely of LEDs, LED Daylight Running Lamps, and an LED taillight. The inclusion of a Charger connector is another welcome addition.

Pricing and Availability of New Bajaj Pulsar P150

The twin-disc version of the bike costs Rs. 1,19,757, while the single-disc version costs Rs. 1,16,755 (ex-showroom, Delhi) and Rs. 1,16,563. The two variations of the Pulsar P150 are each offered in five different colors: Racing Red, Caribbean Blue, Ebony Black Red, Ebony Black Blue, and Ebony Black White. Today, the bike debuted in Kolkata and will soon be available in other cities.

Design of New Bajaj Pulsar P150

The P150 is a radical departure from the original Pulsar 150, and its design is more in line with the N250 and N160 from the next generation. It has the robust attitude and chiseled body panels of a modern streetfighter, making a bold fashion statement. The bike’s aggressive appearance is complemented by its muscular fuel tank and the expanded shrouds that frame it. The underbelly exhaust and engine cowl are other essential features. Five different colors, including “Racing Red,” “Ebony Black Red,” “Ebony Black Blue,” “Ebony Black White,” and “Caribbean Blue,” are available for the new Bajaj Pulsar P150. There are several aesthetic variations between the single-disc version and the twin-disc version.

For one thing, the single-piece handlebar and saddle give the former a more upright riding position. On the other hand, the dual disc model has a more athletic appearance thanks to its clip-on handlebar’s lower mounting point and split seats. In addition, the twin-disc variant’s split-style grab rails seem more upscale than the single-disc derivative’s plain pillion grab rail. In addition, the new P150 has a larger wheelbase than the outgoing model, measuring at 1352 millimetres rather than 1345 millimetres. The motorbike has a 790mm seat height, which is low enough for most people to ride comfortably.

Conclusion

The bike’s performance should benefit from the 11% increase in power-to-weight ratio made possible by the weight reduction. New Pulsar P150 rivals TVS Apache RTR 160 2V, Yamaha FZS, and Honda Unicorn.
