Kawasaki Sold 120 Units Of The Ninja ZX-25R In Indonesia On Day 1 Sales The Bajaj Pulsar 125 is one of the best selling commuter motorcycles in India as of now. Sporty design, practical performance for the daily ride and pocket-friendly pricing are what makes the Pulsar 125 a perfect option for those riders who want to experience the thrill of a Pulsar but don’t want to burden their pockets.
This entry-level model in the popular Pulsar series does all the things well that a 125cc city bike should do—and it does so while looking quite the part with its beefy design that other 125s in the category simply don’t.
So, without wasting any time, let’s get into what makes the Bajaj Pulsar 125 a tough challenger in the 125cc motorcycle segment.
Sporty and Aggressive Design
The Pulsar 125 is inspired by its elder siblings of the Pulsar line-up. It gets a robust looking fuel tank with aggressive tank shrouds, sharp headlamp with a wolf eye DRLs and a split seat or a single seat as per the variant. The game-changing twin-strip LED tail light, stunningly bold for a 125cc, is a true attention grabber and together with the premium new paint schemes and striking graphics, the new Street Rally 125 comes across as a big bike, high-end fit and finish, unique design cues and premium touches.
This design philosophy also makes it attractive to younger riders in the market for a commuter bike that isn’t boring to look at.
Smooth and Fuel-Efficient Performance
Powering the Bajaj Pulsar 125 is a 124.4cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled DTS-i motor. Powered by this motor, the bike can produce about 11.8 PS of power and 10.8 Nm of peak torque – which is considered to be one of the highest for a bike of its class. Running in tandem with a 5-speed transmission the machine gives a refined, city-compliant and occasional highway cruising ride quality.
Speaking of fuel efficiency, the Pulsar 125 is extremely fuel efficient, giving a mileage of about 50–55 km/l, depending upon the riding style and conditions. This also makes it extremely cost effective to use every day.
Comfortable Ride and Reliable Braking
The Pulsar 125 has an upright riding position, comfortable cushioned seat and robust suspension that absorbs potholes and bad roads very well. It’s stable as well thanks to telescopic front fork and twin gas-charged shock absorbers at the rear.
To bring the bike to a stop, it gets a disc or drum at the front and CBS (Combined Braking System) for better safety and control.
Final Verdict
Bajaj Pulsar 125 is a perfect bike when you are looking for sporty look, good mileage and overall very good performance at an affordable price. It’s a pragmatic and value-for-money offering, something that falls in line with the Pulsar legacy but with affordability in mind.
