2026 Bajaj Pulsar 125 & Pulsar 150 Launch On August 24

The 2026 Bajaj Pulsar 125 and Pulsar 150 are all set to make their official debut on August 24, when Bajaj Auto is expected to announce prices for both motorcycles. Ahead of their launch, the updated Pulsar duo has already started reaching dealerships, giving buyers a closer look at the comprehensive changes. Unlike a routine facelift, the new-generation Pulsar 125 and Pulsar 150 have been built on an all-new platform and receive significant mechanical and feature upgrades, including a redesigned chassis, new engine and a more modern equipment list.

While the motorcycles continue to retain the iconic Pulsar styling, Bajaj has introduced several design revisions to give them a fresher and sportier appearance. The front end now features a redesigned headlamp cowl with a compact flyscreen, while the muscular fuel tank is complemented by sharper tank shrouds that enhance the bike's road presence. The side panels and rear section have also been cleaned up for a more premium look, and the signature twin LED tail lamps have been updated with a new design while retaining the familiar Pulsar identity.

The biggest talking point on the 2026 Bajaj Pulsar 150 is its all-new 150 cc air-and-oil-cooled engine, replacing the older air-cooled motor that produced around 14 bhp. Bajaj is yet to reveal the official performance figures, but the new engine is expected to offer more power and torque along with noticeably improved refinement. The outgoing Pulsar 150 was known for its vibrations at higher engine speeds, and the updated powertrain is likely to address those concerns with better NVH levels. Similar improvements are also expected on the revised 125 cc engine powering the new Pulsar 125.

Another major upgrade comes in the form of a new fully digital instrument console, replacing the long-running semi-digital unit with its analogue tachometer. Higher variants are also expected to feature the same TFT display introduced on the new Pulsar N160 SS. If that happens, buyers can expect features such as Bluetooth connectivity, Google Maps navigation, music controls, and call and message alerts, bringing the Pulsar 125 and Pulsar 150 in line with more premium motorcycles in the segment.

Underneath the updated bodywork, the 2026 Pulsar 150 rides on a completely new chassis designed to improve handling and stability. The front continues to use conventional telescopic fork, but the traditional twin rear shock absorbers have been replaced by a monoshock suspension setup, which should deliver a more comfortable ride and sharper dynamics. The motorcycle also rides on 17-inch alloy wheels wrapped in tubeless tyres, further enhancing its everyday usability.

Braking duties are handled by a front disc brake and a rear drum brake, while single-channel ABS adds an extra layer of safety. Bajaj Auto is expected to price the 2026 Pulsar 150 between ₹1.15 lakh and ₹1.20 lakh, while the 2026 Pulsar 125 is likely to carry a price of ₹85,000 to ₹90,000 (all prices mentioned are ex-showroom).
