Bajaj Pulsar N125 priced at Rs 94,707

After sightings out on test, Bajaj has finally launched the Pulsar N125 and it is offered in two variants. The base N125 costs Rs 94,707, while the Bluetooth variant costs four thousand rupees more at Rs 98,707.

The Pulsar N125 is Bajaj’s fifth motorcycle in this displacement range and is powered by an all-new air-cooled, 124.58cc, single-cylinder motor. This new mill is rated for 12hp at 8,500rpm and 11Nm of torque at 6,000rpm. As is par for the course, this engine is mated to a 5-speed gearbox. 

Underpinnings are also commensurate for this class with a simple single-cradle frame being suspended by a telescopic fork and monoshock. A 240mm front disc brake and a 130mm rear drum brake handle stopping duties, aided by CBS (Hero’s Xtreme 125R is the only one to offer ABS in this class yet). 

Tyre sizes differ on the N125 based on the variant you decide upon. The front hoop is sized 80/100-17 on both but on the base variant you get a thinner 100/90-17 tyre, while on the Bluetooth variant you get a 110/80-17 tyre. 

Like the popular TVS Raider and Hero Xtreme 125R, the Bajaj Pulsar N125 has a sharp and striking design language that’s helped further by bright paint options. The base N125 variant can be had in four colours - white, black, red and blue - while the Bluetooth variant comes in three dual-tone options - black/red, black/yellow and black/purple. Just like the other two, the N125 also has a split seat configuration although its setup is more like the Raider than the Xtreme, in that the pillion seat isn’t much higher than the rider’s perch. 

Where Bajaj has gone down its own path with the Pulsar N125 to the Hero Xtreme 125R and the TVS Raider is by giving it plastic fork shrouds to beef the front up. With its 9.5-litre tank fully fueled, the Pulsar N125 weighs 125kg and has a seat height of 795mm. What stands out though is the ADV-esque 198mm of ground clearance, despite the underbelly exhaust.

Coming to the feature-set, there is a new LED headlight, flanked by colour-coded plastic pieces and depending on the variant you choose you get basic Bluetooth baked into the LCD display. The Bluetooth variant also has a larger dash, a silent starter as well as the aforementioned fatter rear tyre.  

With its N125, Bajaj is squarely aiming at the TVS Raider and the Hero Xtreme 125R and we hope to bring you a comparison between these 3 Indian sporty commuters soon.
