    Bajaj Pulsar Celebrates 2 Crore Sales Milestone – Announces Special Prices

    New Bajaj Pulsar 400Bajaj Auto Ltd., India’s leading two-wheeler manufacturer and the world’s most valuable two and three-wheeler company, has achieved a historic milestone – crossing the 2 crore unit sales mark for its iconic Pulsar brand. To celebrate this global feat, Bajaj has announced limited-time special celebration prices across select Pulsar models, offering savings of up to Rs 7,300.
    Launched in 2001, the Bajaj Pulsar has grown to become the undisputed leader in the sports motorcycle segment in India and has created a global fanbase in over 50 countries. From Latin America to Southeast Asia and the Middle East, Pulsar has become synonymous with affordable performance, sporty design, and reliable engineering. The brand’s “Definitely Daring” philosophy has resonated with riders for over two decades, making Pulsar more than just a motorcycle—it’s a symbol of freedom and thrill.
    Special Celebration Prices – April 2025
    To mark this occasion, Bajaj Auto has rolled out special pricing on select Pulsar models. Here’s a look at the offers:
    Bajaj Pulsar 2 Crore Milestone Celebration Prices
    Two Crore Strong and Growing
    It took Bajaj 17 years (2001–2018) to sell the first 1 crore Pulsars, but the second crore was achieved in just 6 years (2019–2025), underlining the brand’s rising popularity and rapid global expansion. Pulsar currently holds the No. 1 or No. 2 position in over 20 international markets, with a strong foothold in India and abroad.
    Sarang Kanade, President of Bajaj Auto’s Motorcycle Business Unit, shared his excitement, “Pulsar has always been more than a motorcycle—it’s a powerhouse of energy, performance, and a ‘Definitely Daring’ attitude. Reaching the 2-crore milestone in more than 50 countries is a badge of honor of the unflinching love and trust of Pulsarmaniacs everywhere. This celebration isn’t ours alone—it’s for each one of the riders who have made Pulsar a global phenomenon.”
    He added, “To mark this amazing achievement and thank our valued customers for their loyalty, we are happy to introduce special celebration prices on select Pulsar models in April. It’s the perfect excuse to experience the power, style, and thrill that Pulsar offers – a ride that is ‘Definitely Daring’.” More

    2025 Bajaj Pulsar NS160 Launched With New Features

    2025 Bajaj Pulsar NS160 LaunchedWith an enhanced tech package, the 2025 Bajaj Pulsar NS160 resonates better with the needs of its target audience
    One of Bajaj’s popular Pulsar bikes, the NS160 has received updates at regular intervals. The 2025 model has been launched with riding modes of Road, Rain and Off-road. Bajaj Pulsar NS160 will continue to rival the likes of TVS Apache RTR 160 4V and Hero Xtreme 160R in the affordable 160cc street bike segment.
    Bajaj Pulsar NS160 – Riding modes
    With riding modes of Road, Rain and Offroad, enthusiasts can expect a better overall performance when dealing with varying terrains and environments. Riding modes onboard the Pulsar NS160 adjust the ABS intervention to suit different terrains. Road mode is designed for everyday use with standard ABS intervention.
    2025 Bajaj Pulsar NS160 Riding Modes
    Rain mode increases ABS sensitivity to prevent skidding on wet surfaces. Off-road mode reduces ABS action on the rear wheel, allowing for better control on loose surfaces like dirt and gravel. Offering riding modes for 160cc motorcycle class might seem unnecessary, but it offers a dash of confidence in young riders.
    If we compare with rival offerings, the TVS Apache RTR 160 4V offers riding modes of Urban, Rain and Sport. As the name suggests, Urban mode is for city roads that need quick acceleration and deceleration. The ABS intervention is programmed for a sharp response in Urban mode. In Rain mode, the ABS action is enhanced for better control over slippery environments. In Sport mode, the TVS Apache RTR 160 4V delivers maximum power and optimized ABS response.

    Another rival is Hero Xtreme 160R 4V. It does not have any riding modes. However, it has other exciting features such as 1st-in-segment drag race timer with two modes. In D1 mode, users can record their 0-60 km/h speed. The D2 mode measures quarter mile timing – 0 to 402 meters.
    Other tech features
    With the addition of riding modes, Bajaj Pulsar NS160’s tech package has been further enhanced. The bike already offers features such as turn-by-turn navigation, distance to empty readout, gear position indicator, average fuel economy and real-time fuel economy. As seen in the video by Machine Rules, the fully digital instrument console displays speedometer, RPM meter, fuel gauge, odometer and trip meter.
    2025 Bajaj Pulsar NS160
    Users can pair their smartphone via Bluetooth to access turn-by-turn navigation, calls and text alerts and check mobile battery status. The bike also has a USB mobile charging port. Apart from the riding modes, there are no other major updates to the 2025 Bajaj Pulsar NS160. The bike has a sporty, dominating road presence, which is one of its key USPs.
    Some of the key features include aggressive headlamp design, all-LED lighting, USD front forks, Grimeca brake callipers, sculpted fuel tank, sporty graphics, split seats, underbelly exhaust and split grab rails. A total of four colour options are available – Cocktail Wine Red, Ebony Black, Pearl Metallic White and Pewter grey.

    Powering the bike is a 160.3 cc, oil cooled engine that generates 17.2 PS and 14.6 Nm of torque. Both ends have 17-inch wheels, wrapped in 100/80 front and 130/70 rear tubeless tyres. Suspension setup at the rear comprises a Nitrox monoshock absorber with canister. Braking setup has 300 mm front and 230 mm rear discs, with dual-channel ABS.

    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.

    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.

    New Bajaj Pulsar N160 Single Seat Variant Launched – Walkaround

    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.

    2025 Bajaj Pulsar RS200 Arrives At Dealer Yard – Walkaround Video

    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.
