    Bajaj Pulsar NS125 ABS Variant Launched – Enhanced Safety

    by

    Bajaj Pulsar NS125 ABS Variant LaunchedWith improved braking performance, Pulsar NS125 riders can accelerate and zip through the streets with greater confidence
    For its top-selling Pulsar range, Bajaj has introduced new features at regular intervals. The latest update is for Pulsar NS125 that gets single-channel ABS. With enhanced safety, Pulsar NS125 will be in a better position to challenge rivals like Hero Extreme 125R, TVS Raider and Honda SP125. Pricing for the new 2025 Pulsar NS125 starts from Rs 1,01,050 (Ex-sh).
    Bajaj Pulsar NS125 – Braking setup
    While the front wheel has a 240 mm disc brake, the rear has a 130 mm drum brake. The outgoing model is offered with a combi-braking setup (CBS). Pulsar NS125 is one of the most powerful machines in its class. That’s why it is essential to have a robust braking system. It is possible that the single-channel ABS for Pulsar NS125 could have been introduced based on market feedback.
    Bajaj Pulsar NS125 ABS Variant Launched
    Bajaj is among the brands that keenly listen to consumer inputs and adapt accordingly. With more braking power at their disposal, users can push their Pulsar NS125 bike to its limits. Whether it’s everyday commutes or highway cruising, the ABS will make the rides safer and more predictable. Managing slippery conditions also becomes easier with this advanced braking system, providing better control and confidence on the road.
    Pulsar NS125 braking performance vs. rivals
    Talking about rival offerings, single-channel ABS is currently available with Hero Xtreme 125R. There are two variants, one with CBS and the other with single-channel ABS. The CBS variant has a 240 mm disc at the front, whereas the ABS variant has a 276 mm disc. Rear drum brake of 130 mm is the same for both variants.

    Another rival is TVS Raider which does not get an ABS option. The bike is offered with only CBS which TVS refers to as the Synchronized Braking Technology (SYNCRO SBT). TVS Raider has a 240 mm disc at front and a 130 mm drum brake at the rear. Honda SP125 is another popular choice in the 125cc segment. The bike has a 240 mm disc at front and 130 mm drum brake at the rear. Honda SP125 utilizes a combi-brake system with an equalizer. ABS option is not available with Honda SP125.
    Bajaj Pulsar NS125 – Standard features
    Excluding the single-channel ABS update, there are no other changes to Pulsar NS125. Powering the bike is a 124.45 cc, air-cooled, SOHC, DTS-i Ei engine that generates 12 PS and 11 Nm of torque. It is mated to a 5-speed constant mesh gearbox. The power output is slightly higher than all three rivals. Pulsar NS125 also leads in torque output, excluding only the TVS Raider which generates 11.2 Nm.
    Bajaj Pulsar NS125 ABS Variant Launched
    Bajaj Pulsar NS125 has 17-inch wheels at both ends. Suspension setup comprises telescopic forks at front and a mono-shock unit at the rear. Seat height is 805 mm, whereas ground clearance is 179 mm. The bike has a kerb weight of 144 kg. Tech kit includes a digital instrument console with Bluetooth connectivity. Users can access a range of information such as gear position indicator, real-time fuel economy, average fuel economy and distance-to-empty readout. More

      2025 Bajaj Dominar 400 Spied – Gets Pulsar NS400Z’s Instrument Cluster

      by

      2025 Bajaj Dominar 400 Spied : Spy Shot – Acko DriveBajaj has been continually updating its Pulsar lineup with new features and technology across 2024. However, the company is now shifting its gaze to flagship Dominar 400 motorcycle. First set of 2025 Bajaj Dominar 400 spy shots have emerged on the internet, showing a few technological updates to make it more appealing.
      2025 Bajaj Dominar 400 Spied
      Bajaj Auto’s flagship Dominar lineup has been one of the first affordable Power Cruisers for Indian motorcycling enthusiasts. Powered by KTM-derived 373cc engine, Bajaj Dominar 400 has signified affordable performance for the masses. In 2021, Bajaj Dominar 400 became a lot more touring-friendly with Touring equipment offered as standard.
      To further improve touring capabilities, 2025 Bajaj Dominar 400 gets a new instrument cluster. This new cluster gets Bluetooth connectivity that also supports turn-by-turn navigation. As seen in the spy shots leaked online, we can see that it is similar to the LCD Dot Matrix instrument cluster seen on Pulsar NS400Z.
      2025 Bajaj Dominar 400 With Pulsar NS400Z’s Cluster : Spy Shot – Acko Drive
      This cluster is made up of two distinct set of displays. Larger left section displays all the vital information like speedo, tacho, gear position indicator, odometer, Ride Modes, time, side stand indicator, tell-tale lights, cell phone signal reception and battery level.
      The right section of this cluster is smaller in size, but shows trip computer data, fuel efficiency data and turn-by-turn navigation data. When paired and set from the smartphone app, ETA time and distance can also be seen on this display. This is a major upgrade when compared to the instrument cluster that Dominar used to get.
      What are the changes?
      Now that tell tale lights are on the main cluster, Dominar’s secondary cluster situated on its fuel tank is removed as well. In its place, we now get a USB port to charge one’s smartphone or other gadgets. All the touring-friendly accessories that Bajaj Dominar 400 used to get, are likely to be carried over with 2025 model.
      New Bajaj Dominar 400 With Pulsar NS400Z’s Cluster : Spy Shot – Acko Drive
      Powertrain-wise, 2025 Bajaj Dominar 400 is likely to retain the same 373cc KTM-derived single-cylinder liquid-cooled DOHC 4V/cyl powerhouse of an engine. This engine in Dominar 400 is rated for 40 bhp and 35 Nm, mated to a 6-speed gearbox. With MY25 Dominar 400, we can expect Riding Modes like Pulsar NS400Z along with ride-by-wire throttle system.

      New Bajaj Pulsar N160 Single Seat Variant Launched – Walkaround

      by

      New Bajaj Pulsar N160 Single SeatA single seat might be more relevant in the Indian context, as it can accommodate more passengers and carry a variety of everyday loads
      Bajaj has introduced a new single seat variant of its popular Pulsar N160 motorcycle. Launched likely to fulfil family-oriented needs, the single seat Pulsar N160 will help access a new segment of users. This variant is around Rs 10,000 cheaper than the standard base variant.
      Bajaj Pulsar N160 single seat variant – Key highlights
      In addition to the single piece seat replacing the split seats, there are some other changes as well. For example, the split grab rails at the rear have been replaced with a more robust single-piece grab rail. This will be useful when there’s a need to accommodate more passengers. The thick grab rail also seems strong enough to support heavy loads. Earlier also, Bajaj had finetuned its products in line with practical necessities of users.
      New Bajaj Pulsar N160 Single Seat
      A relevant example is Bajaj Freedom CNG bike that comes with an extra-long seat. A similar approach is probably being used for the Pulsar N160 as well. The single-piece seat of Pulsar N160 seems quite comfy for both the rider and pillion. The scooped front section should ensure extra comfort for the rider even during longer journeys. The seat is narrow at the front, making it easier for users to put their feet on the ground.
      Pulsar N160 single seat variant has standard 37 mm telescopic forks at the front and a Nitrox monoshock suspension at the rear. The bike has 300 mm and 230 mm disc brakes at front and rear, respectively. However, as compared to the standard base variant that has dual-channel ABS, the single seat variant gets a single-channel ABS.
      New Bajaj Pulsar N160 Single Seat
      The top variant of Pulsar N160 is equipped with 37 mm USD forks in golden finish. Pulsar N160 has 17-inch wheels at both ends, wrapped in 100/80 front and 130/70 rear tubeless tyres. The bike has a ground clearance of 165 mm and a 14-litre fuel tank. Low seat height of 795 mm helps in achieving optimal control and handling.
      New Bajaj Pulsar N160 Single Seat
      Pulsar N160 performance
      Powering Bajaj Pulsar N160 is a 164.82 cc, single cylinder, SOHC, 2-valve, air cooled engine. It generates 16 PS and 14.65 Nm of torque and is mated to a constant mesh 5-speed gearbox. In terms of its visual profile, Pulsar N160 single seat variant is the same as the standard base variant. There are no changes to the colours and graphics. The bike has bi-functional LED projector headlamp with LED DRLs. At the rear, there’s a LED tail lamp with a glitter pattern. Turn indicators are halogen units.
      [embedded content]
      Tech package includes a digital console with Bluetooth support. Users can access call alerts, message notifications and fuel alerts. A USB charging port is provided at the front. The top variant of Pulsar N160 has additional features such as turn-by-turn navigation and ABS ride modes of Road, Rain and Off-Road. More

      2025 Bajaj Pulsar RS200 Arrives At Dealer Yard – Walkaround Video

      by

      2025 Bajaj Pulsar RS200Since the launch of Bajaj Pulsar RS200 a decade ago in 2015, enthusiasts have been craving for an update. Bajaj heard the cries and just launched the upgraded 2025 Pulsar RS200 at an attractive price point of Rs 1.84 lakh (Ex-sh). Right after the launch, units of 2025 Bajaj Pulsar RS200 reached showrooms. Let’s take a look.
      2025 Bajaj Pulsar RS200
      At the beginning of calendar year 2025, Bajaj launched updated Pulsar RS200 at Rs 1.84 lakh (Ex-sh). However, it is not what buyers and enthusiasts seem to have been craving for. There are minimal changes to this motorcycle, but most of these updates are meaningful and bring the motorcycle to 2025 in terms of technology.
      2025 Bajaj Pulsar RS200 New Instrument Cluster
      As seen in the video by 6 Speed, units of 2025 Bajaj Pulsar RS200 have reached dealerships. The colour we see in this video is Pearl Metallic White. The other two colours for 2025 Pulsar RS200 include Active Black Satin and Glossy Racing Red. All three colours have been priced at the same Rs 1.84 lakh (Ex-sh).
      Buyers will have to decide whether they want a fully faired Pulsar RS200 at Rs 1.84 lakh (Ex-sh), or cough up Rs 1,000 more to buy the Pulsar NS400Z. Priced at Rs 1.85 lakh (Ex-sh), Pulsar NS400Z is incredible value for the money and even gets USD telescopic front forks as standard that Pulsar RS200 misses out on.
      2025 Bajaj Pulsar RS200 LED Headlights
      That said, the appeal of a fully-faired motorcycle with as much flair as Pulsar RS200 is hard to resist. With 2025 model, Bajaj has offered a new USB charging port for smartphones or action cameras. This is still Type-A port and not Type-C, which is fine and not a deal-breaker. Tail section is completely new and gets revised LED tail lights with LED turn indicators.
      Headlights are still projector units for both low and high beam. But these headlights are now populated by LEDs and not halogens. The main update, however, is its fully digital colour instrument cluster that supports Bluetooth and turn-by-turn navigation. This is the same boned and laminated screen we saw with Pulsar NS400Z. To control this screen, we have updated switchgear with a Mode button.
      Updated Bajaj Pulsar RS200 LED Tail Lights
      What are the updates to componentry?
      Where componentry is concerned, Bajaj Auto has made efforts to offer an update with 2025 Pulsar RS200. We get new brake callipers from Grimeca at the front and rear, replacing ByBre units. There’s dual-channel ABS with ABS modes. Front tyre is now 110-section and rear tyre 140-section. These are fatter when opposed to the 100-section and 130-section units in preceding model. RSU telescopic front forks continue as they were, even though Pulsar NS160 gets USDs.
      The same 199.5cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder KTM-derived engine continues to do duties on updated Pulsar RS200. This engine is capable of generating 24.1 bhp of peak power and 18.7 Nm of peak torque. A 6-speed gearbox and a slipper clutch to prevent wheel hopping while down-shifting is also notable.
