    Bajaj Pulsar N150 De-Listed From Website – Discontinued For Good?

    Bajaj Pulsar N150Pulsar lineup from Bajaj Auto has been one of the, if not, the most celebrated motorcycle brands in Indian market. Bajaj practically dominated India’s premium commuter segment with Pulsar since its launch, which it continues to do even today. However, not all Pulsars are received by buyers in a similar manner.
    This brings the spotlight on Pulsar N150, which has been de-listed from Bajaj’s official website. The company has not mentioned this is a temporary discontinuation or it is getting rid of this bike altogether. Pulsar N150 was positioned below N160, which is quite a popular bike in India. Let’s take a closer look.
    Bajaj Pulsar N150 Discontinued
    Within the rather extensive Pulsar lineup, there used to be two 150cc Pulsars. These include Classic Pulsar 150 and Pulsar N150. The latter was positioned as a sporty alternative to Classic Pulsar 150 and it shared the same design and aesthetics from its larger sibling, the Pulsar N160, which continues to be a popular choice amongst buyers.
    Snippet from Bajaj website
    If we take a look at Bajaj’s sales breakup for the month of May 2025, we can see that Bajaj sold 15,937 150cc Pulsars in India, including both Classic Pulsar 150 and Pulsar N150. When compared to the 29,386 units sold in May 2024, sales almost halved YoY, suggesting a downward spiral trend.
    In contrast, Bajaj sold 22,372 units of 160cc Pulsars, which include Pulsar N160 and Pulsar NS160. Here, the company witnessed 24.88% YoY growth, suggesting that buyers are showing greater tendency towards 160cc Pulsars than 150cc Pulsars. Bajaj is actively pushing sales for 160cc bikes too, offering USD telescopic front forks, dual-channel ABS and other features.
    Refreshed Model In The Future?
    Within those 15,937 units of 150cc Pulsars, Classic Pulsar 150 is likely to have contributed a lot more volume than Pulsar N150. This might have compelled Bajaj to pull the plug on Pulsar N150 from the Indian market. Or else, this could be a temporary discontinuation while the company might launch a refreshed Pulsar N150 soon.
    New Bajaj Pulsar N150 and N160
    Pulsar N150 was powered by a 149.68cc single-cylinder air-cooled engine, capable of generating 14.3 bhp of peak power and 13.5 Nm of peak torque, mated to a 5-speed gearbox. It came with single-channel ABS, 90-section front and 120-section rear tyres wrapped to 17-inch alloy wheels, a fully digital instrument cluster and more. More

The most notable update to this motorcycle is with its powertrain. While it continues to be the same 373cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled setup as before, it gets more performance now.
    3 PS more, to be precise, taking peak power from 40 PS to 43 PS, while peak torque continues to be 35 Nm. A 6-speed gearbox and slipper clutch continue to be on offer, but the notable addition is a bi-directinal quick-shifter, which will allow riders to shift the gears quickly even without clutch inputs. 0-60 km/h sprint is now 2.7s, down from 3.2s and 0-100 km/h in 6.4s, down from 7.5s. Top speed has been increased to 157 km/h from 150 km/h.

    Features like LED projector headlight, muscular styling, spilt seat setup, perimeter frame for communicative feedback, split rear grab rail, 43mm USD telescopic front forks finished in a golden shade, rear mono-shock suspension setup, a fully digital instrument cluster with Bluetooth connection, turn-by-turn navigation and others continue as is.
    Updated Components
    While features are the same, Bajaj Auto has improved the 2025 Pulsar NS400Z UG with better components. Especially in traction and braking departments. With this new and improved model, Bajaj is offering sintered brake pads, which are known to offer better bite and feedback, translating to overall sharper braking performance.
    2025 Pulsar NS400Z Sintered Brake Pads
    Where tyres are concerned, the company has retained front tyre specification, which is a 110/70-R17 unit. Rear tyre, however, is now fatter at 150-section, offering a wider contact patch for better traction. Also, both tyres are now Apollo Alpha H1, replacing the older MRF REVZ units. The updated model has been reaching dealerships for quite some time.

    Bajaj Freedom CNG Motorcycle Price Cut – Sales Decline

    Bajaj Freedom 125While the base variant (Drum) has become more accessible, the Drum LED and Disc LED variants continue with the earlier pricing
    Bajaj had introduced the world’s first dual-fuel CNG bike, Freedom 125 NG04, in July 2024. The bike was positioned as a game changer, offering the convenience of dual-fuel (CNG + petrol) and fuel cost savings of up to 50%. To boost sales, Bajaj has now reduced the price of the base variant. Let’s check out the details and new pricing.
    Bajaj Freedom CNG Motorcycle – New price
    The base variant ‘NG04 Drum’ gets a discount of Rs 5,000. From Rs 90,976 earlier, the price has dropped to Rs 85,976 with the discount offer. There are no upgrades or downgrades to the base model. Prices of the mid and top variants remain unchanged at Rs 95,981 and Rs 1,10,976, respectively.
    Bajaj Freedom 125
    Powering the bike is a 125cc engine that generates 9.5 PS and 9.7 Nm of peak torque. The base variant NG04 Drum has a halogen headlamp, as compared to the other two variants that have LED headlamp. Bajaj Freedom CNG has 17-inch front and 16-inch rear wheels. Tyres are 80/90 front and 80/100 at the rear with the base variant.
    The other two variants have 90/80 front and 120/70 rear tyres. The base variant has 130 mm drum brake at the front and 110 mm drum brake at the rear. The mid variant ‘NG04 Drum LED’ has 130 mm drum brakes at both ends. The top variant ‘NG04 Disc LED’ has 240 mm disc brake at front and 130 mm drum brake at rear. All variants have CBS braking setup.
    Bajaj Freedom 125
    While the base and mid variants have a small LCD without connectivity, the top variant is offered with an inverted full LCD with connectivity. The base variant has sheet metal belly pan, as compared to plastic + steel metal belly pan used with the mid and top variants. The base variant also misses out on the tank cover flap offered with the mid and top variants.
    Bajaj Freedom CNG sales report
    During the eleven months since launch in July 2024, Bajaj Freedom has sold a total of 76,760 units. That’s an average of 6,978 units sold every month. Since Bajaj Freedom 125 is the only dual-fuel bike in the country, it has the first-mover advantage. Being a unique offering, the bike had generated significant interest among potential buyers and enthusiasts. During the festive season in 2024, sales of Bajaj Freedom CNG had peaked at 30,051 units in October.
    Bajaj Freedom Sales Over Past Year

    However, monthly sales have been relatively less in 2025. There can be multiple factors at play. For example, sales could be impacted in regions that have limited availability of CNG fuel stations. Data reveals that around 60% of Bajaj Freedom CNG sales come from states like Delhi, Maharashtra, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Gujarat. These are among the states with the highest density of CNG fuel stations.
    Sales of Bajaj Freedom CNG could also be impacted due to the phenomenal rise of low-cost electric scooters. These are not only cheaper than Freedom CNG, but also have less cost per kilometre. Charging infrastructure has consistently improved, which is another factor that is encouraging people to shift to EVs.
    Bajaj Freedom Sales Over Past Year
    Bajaj itself has seen a spectacular success with the Chetak, which is now the second best selling electric scooter in the country. In May 2025, Chetak was featured in the top 10, with sales of 25,540 units and market share of 4.65%. It remains to be seen if the price cut for Bajaj Freedom CNG base variant brings any significant change to sales numbers. More

    Bajaj Avenger Street 220 To Launch In India Again – Homologation Done

    2023 Bajaj Avenger 220 Street – Image for reference onlyBajaj Auto, one of the leading 2W and 3W manufacturers in India and among the leading electric scooter manufacturers, is about to open a new flank on its siege to dominate India’s cruiser motorcycle segment. We’re talking about the Avenger sub brand, which is set to witness the re-launch of Avenger 220 Street.
    The company has homologated the Avenger 220 Street for the Indian market and is likely to launch soon. Homologation documents of Bajaj Avenger 220 Street have been leaked online, showing some crucial specs and features of this soon-to-re-launch cruiser motorcycle. Let’s take a closer look.
    Bajaj Avenger Street 220
    Currently, Bajaj is only offering two versions of Avenger – Avenger Street and Avenger Cruise. Avenger Street only comes with a 160cc engine and Avenger Cruise only comes with a 220cc engine. That will change soon as Bajaj is launching Avenger 220 Street in India, as it was recently homologated.
    As seen in the homologation documents, Avenger 220 Cruise is positioned as the base model and Avenger 220 Street is listed as a variant. It has a gross weight of 310 kg, wheelbase of 1,490 mm, width of 806 mm, length of 2,210 mm and a height of 1,070 mm. Avenger 220 Street is slightly shorter than 220 Cruise as it misses out on the tall windshield.
    Bajaj Avenger 220 Street Launch Soon
    Launch is likely to happen soon and it will be positioned below Avenger 220 Cruise which is priced at Rs 1.48 lakh (Ex-sh). In comparison, Avenger 220 Street might be priced around Rs 1.4 lakh (Ex-sh) or even lower to achieve a striking price tag. It could boost sales for Avenger brand, which stood at just over a thousand units in April 2025 with a 46% YoY decline in sales.
    What’s new?
    While both (Street and Cruise) are textbook cruisers with their low-slung seat, forward-set foot pegs and a pulled back handlebar with a high rake angle for sofa-like comfort, there are major differences. Street gets stealthier colours and an overall blackened finish and misses out on touring-friendly equipment offered with Cruise.
    Speaking of, Avenger 220 Cruise gets an overdose of chrome, classic colourways, a tall windshield, rear pillion backrest and more. Bajaj Avenger Street 220 will be powered by the same oil-cooled SOHC 2V/cyl single-cylinder 220cc engine as Avenger 220 Cruise with 19.03 PS of peak power and 17.55 Nm of peak torque, mated to a 5-speed gearbox.
    2023 Bajaj Avenger 220 Street – Image for reference only
    If we take the lower end of cruiser segment in India, we have Kawasaki’s W175, TVS Ronin and the Bajaj Avenger. Of these, Bajaj Avenger is the only offering that is a proper textbook cruiser. However, it is not a popular lineup in India and is often under-appreciated despite the unrivalled comfort it has to offer. More
