Bajaj Auto today unveiled the new Pulsar 150, upgrading two of India’s most iconic sports motorcycles with a host of new features and technologies while retaining the unmistakable character that has defined the Pulsar brand.
Since its launch in 2001, Pulsar has played a defining role in shaping Indian motorcycling over the past 25 years, establishing itself as one of India’s most iconic sports biking brands. At a time when motorcycles were largely associated with everyday commuting, Pulsar brought performance, technology and an unmistakable attitude to Indian motorcycling. Over the years, the brand has continued to evolve, bringing modern technology and performance experiences to generations of riders.
With over 20 million Pulsar motorcycles sold over 40 countries, the brand has grown from an Indian motorcycle icon into a global name in performance motorcycling. At the heart of this evolution are the traits that made the original Pulsar 150 an icon — its commanding silhouette, muscular tank, signature grunt, commanding road presence and unmatched pickup. The 10-second rush, raw power and thrill, and its lovable badass character have defined the Pulsar experience for generations. These enduring attributes remain unchanged in the new Pulsar 150 and Pulsar 125, while the engineering, technology, design and features continue to evolve.
