Bajaj Auto’s Pulsar series has always been the first choice of the youth in the Indian two-wheeler market. The most economical and reliable model of these, Pulsar 125, is now back with a new look and better performance. This bike is not only strong in style, but also gives tough competition to bikes like Hero Splendor in terms of mileage and features.
Mileage and fuel efficiency: Not heavy on the pocket, but great in mileage
When it comes to buying a bike, the first demand of every common Indian customer is – “What is the mileage?” For those asking if they can put 200 cc petrol in a 125 cc bike, Bajaj Pulsar 125 provides a great reply. Thanks to a 50 to 55 kilometers per liter fuel capability, this bike will not break the bank with gas.
If you commute to your office everyday or travel between cities and villages, the distance won’t cost you much. In this era of rising petrol prices, this feature is very beneficial especially for middle class and rural consumers.
Comfort and Features: Smart technology with smooth ride
The specialty of the Pulsar series is not only in its sporty look, but also in its comfortable experience and smart features. The new version of Pulsar 125 has some features which are generally rarely seen in the bikes of this segment:
- Telescopic front suspension and rear monoshock suspension – which give a smooth ride experience even on rough roads.
- Digital-analog console – In which you get important information like speedometer, trip meter, fuel gauge on a single screen.
- LED taillight and semi-digital speedometer – which not only give a modern look to the bike, but also ensure better visibility at night.
- Comfortable seating position – does not let there be back pain even on long journeys.
- With these features, Bajaj Pulsar 125 becomes a package that makes riding a joyful experience, not just a journey.
Safety and Braking: A perfect combination of strength and balance
