Several more features are accessible via Kawasaki’s connectivity app. For example, users can check battery voltage, GPS route information, location, riding logs, maintenance history, etc.

    2024 Bajaj Pulsar N125 Launched – New Features, Colours

    2024 Bajaj Pulsar N125With the launch of Pulsar N125, Bajaj has expanded its 125cc lineup, which is its best-selling category and is likely to boost sales further
    Being among the country’s leading 2W and 3W vehicle manufacturers, Bajaj Auto, has been radicalising premium commuter and street motorcycle genre with Pulsar brand. Expanding the Pulsar lineup is the new Pulsar N125.
    Bajaj Pulsar N125 Launch
    With the just-launched Pulsar N125, Bajaj aims to push the sales boundaries and position itself as the country’s best-selling 125cc motorcycle manufacturer. After launching Freedom 125 CNG, which is the world’s first CNG motorcycle, Bajaj came up with the biggest-ever Pulsar in the form of Pulsar NS400Z.
    2024 Bajaj Pulsar N125
    Now, looking at the opposite end of displacement, we have the just-launched Pulsar N125, which is tasked to be the best-selling 125cc bike in India. 125cc Pulsars have been Bajaj’s best-selling category and the company is further expanding its lineup in this displacement class consisting of Pulsar 125 and Pulsar NS125.
    Pulsar N125 appears to be the sportiest of this trio, while Pulsar NS125 looks the bulkiest, owing to its larger proportions and higher weight. Design-wise, the Pulsar N125 emerges as a handsome machine. Sticking with its Pulsar family genes, Pulsar N125 gets an aggressive design. Muscular tank shrouds and edgy headlight design are stand-out elements.
    2024 Bajaj Pulsar N125
    Also notable with Pulsar N125 is a sculpted fuel tank, split seat design, single-piece rear pillion grab rail, a chunky tyre hugger, among others. Like Freedom 125, Pulsar N125 also gets muscular covers on its RSU telescopic front forks, contributing to its macho appearance.
    2024 Bajaj Pulsar N125
    Headlights are LEDs and they are vertically stacked. Rear tail lights are LEDs too and resemble other Pulsars. However, turn indicators are all halogen, unlike Hero Xtreme 125R. Looking at the motorcycle, one can see that the rider’s triangle is fairly upright, but with a slight lean on the handlebars.
    2024 Bajaj Pulsar N125
    Specs and Features
    Where Powertrains are concerned, Bajaj has gone with a 125cc air-cooled single-cylinder motor that is capable of kicking out 11.8 bhp of peak power and 11 Nm of peak torque, mated to a 5-speed gearbox. These are similar numbers to what we saw with the Pulsar NS125, but Pulsar N125 weighs less, giving a better power-to-weight ratio.
    2024 Bajaj Pulsar N125
    Componentry-wise, RSU telescopic front forks, rear mono-shock, front disc brake option, box section swingarm, 17-inch alloy wheels with same design as Pulsar P150’s, among others. Features include a fully digital instrument console with Bluetooth connectivity and a USB charging port. Hero Xtreme 125R and TVS Raider 125 continue to be the primary rivals to Bajaj Pulsar N125.
    In other news, Bajaj Auto share price suffered a massive decline of over 12% on the BSE, down by Rs 1,450, trading at Rs 10,170 currently. Analysts suggest due to the recent Q2 results announced for the FY 2024/25 period and the muted commentary for upcoming festive season.

    2024 Bajaj Pulsar N125 Leaks Before Launch – First Undisguised Photos

    New Bajaj Pulsar N125With its sporty profile and competitive pricing, Pulsar N125 can help acquire a larger market share in the 125cc motorcycle segment
    Bajaj Pulsar currently ranks second in the 125cc space, with a market share of more than 20%. On offer are Pulsar 125 and Pulsar NS125. To present something fresh in this space, Bajaj will soon launch the Pulsar N125. Ahead of launch tomorrow, first undisguised photos of the new Pulsar N125 have leaked online. Hat tip to automotive enthusiast Aditya Pandey for sharing these exclusive spy shots.
    Bajaj Pulsar N125 – Key features
    As there are already two 125cc Pulsar bikes, the upcoming Pulsar N125 will have to offer something special to get the attention of enthusiasts. Teasers reveal that the N125 is programmed to achieve that goal. Visually, Pulsar N125 has a striking presence, similar to other N series Pulsar bikes. A new purple colour was seen in the teasers, which appears quite enigmatic.
    New Bajaj Pulsar N125
    Some more attractive colour options could be made available with Pulsar N125. Colour options for existing Pulsar 125 and NS125 appear relatively subdued in comparison to the energetic purple shade seen with Pulsar N125. The bike also gets sporty graphics and decals that further enhance the overall look and feel. Another highlight is the 3D Pulsar logo on the fuel tank.
    A walkaround would reveal features such as sleek LED headlamp, sharp tank shrouds, sporty fuel tank design and polygonal rear-view mirrors. Pulsar N125 has an underbelly exhaust that ensures a smooth appearance for the side profile. The bike has a split seat design, short tail section, robust grab rails and rear tyre hugger. A slightly forward-leaning riding position is likely to resonate with the younger generation.
    New Bajaj Pulsar N125
    Pulsar N125 – Agile performance
    Based on the teasers, it is evident that Pulsar N125 will be the most agile and manoeuvrable 125 cc Pulsar bike. It is designed to dominate the chaotic urban streets, often seen with heavy traffic. Terms like ‘daring’ used in the teasers clearly reveal the promise of entirely new experiences with a smaller-capacity Pulsar bike. Power will be supplied via a 125 cc, air cooled, single cylinder engine that generates 11.8 PS and 10.8 Nm. Users will have access to a 5-speed gearbox.
    New Bajaj Pulsar N125
    In comparison, rival TVS Raider has a 124.8 cc air & oil cooled, single cylinder engine that delivers 11.38 PS and 11.2 Nm. The engine is paired with a 5-speed gearbox. Hero Xtreme 125R has a 124.7 cc engine, producing 11.4 PS and 10.5 Nm. It is offered with a 5-speed transmission.
    Bajaj Pulsar N125 – New colour
    Pulsar N125 Pricing – Diwali offers likely
    Several of the Pulsar bikes are currently available with festive offers. In the 125cc segment, Pulsar 125 and NS125 are available with savings of up to Rs 8,000. It is possible that Bajaj could introduce a limited period special pricing for Pulsar N125. Ex-showroom price of Pulsar N125 is expected to be around Rs 95,000. However, users should be able to save more in case there are special offers. The most affordable is Pulsar 125, starting at Rs 92,883. Pulsar NS125 is available at a starting price of Rs 1,01,050.

    Ather 450S electric scooter service cost
    How do these plans help?
    As an electric mobility solutions provider, Ather Energy is not usually associated with offering VFM products.
