Pros Cons of Bajaj Pulsar 125

Pros

  • Nice design
  • Peppy engine
  • Good performance

Cons

  • Could have had more features

Verdict

The Bajaj Pulsar 125 has a smooth, refined and decently powerful engine. The excellent ride quality, and impressive stability only enhance its capabilities as a well-rounded commuter motorcycle. The only dampener is that its design looks much too common, and identical to the Pulsar 150 Neon.

  • Sharp handling with commendable grip from TVS Remora radial tires
  • Enhanced design with a new LED headlamp and race-inspired graphics

Cons

  • Slight reduction in power output compared to the previous model
  • Lacks the SmartXonnect Bluetooth system, which is available on other models
  • 5-speed gearbox could have been slicker for better shifting experience

Verdict

The TVS Apache RTR 160 4V BS6 model continues to be one of the best options in the 160cc segment, offering a refined engine and sporty handling. The updates in design and the new headlamp add to its appeal, though the slight drop in power and the absence of advanced features like SmartXonnect might leave some wanting more. Overall, it remains a solid and stylish performer in its class, offering good value for its price.
