All-New 2026 Bajaj Pulsar Launching Soon

Bajaj Auto is getting ready to launch a series of models in the Bajaj Pulsar family, with significant updates across the 125 cc to 160 cc Pulsar range. The first of the updated Bajaj Pulsar models will be launched in mid-August and we believe it will be the new-generation Pulsar 150 or a significantly updated Pulsar N160. The first Pulsar 150, along with its bigger sibling, the Pulsar 180, were launched together in 2001, marking Bajaj Auto’s entrance into the naked sport motorcycle segment.

New Pulsar Launch: How Important Is It?

The first launch of the Pulsar range is likely to be an all-new generation model of the Pulsar 150 which is India’s highest selling 150 cc motorcycle. In FY 2025, combined sales of 150 cc Pulsar variants registered roughly between 1,50,000 and 1,70,000 units in the domestic market. Currently, the Pulsar 150 cc segment contributes between 13,000 to 23,000 unit sales per month. The Pulsar 150 is a very important model in Bajaj Auto's portfolio. However, a thoroughly Pulsar 125 is also expected to be launched soon.

All-New Pulsar 150: What’s Expected?

The upcoming next-generation Pulsar 150 is expected to get significantly upgraded, which will be a ground-up new model, featuring an updated powerplant with enhanced performance, redesigned chassis and move away from the signature twin-shock rear suspension to a more modern centrally mounted rear monoshock.

The iconic muscular silhouette of the Bajaj Pulsar is likely to be retained in the new model to underscore the signature design language, but sharper body panels, including new tank shrouds. Also expected is all-new LED lighting set-up, full digital console with Bluetooth connectivity allowing turn-by-turn navigation and call/text alerts.
