Bajaj Pulsar N125 comes in two variants, rivals TVS Raider 125 and Honda SP125
Bajaj Pulsar N125 was launched with a starting price of Rs. 94,707/- (ex-showroom). The motorcycle is available in two variants: the base-spec LED Disc variant and the LED Disc BT variant, priced at Rs. 98,707/- (ex-showroom). Positioned in the highly competitive 125cc commuter segment, the Pulsar N125 is Bajaj’s latest attempt to woo customers with an offering that balances affordability and modern features.
Design and style
The Pulsar N125 adopts a design that stands out from the rest of the Pulsar N series, offering a new visual identity. The motorcycle is equipped with a newly designed LED headlight that angles downwards, giving it a distinctive frontal appearance. A large sculpted fuel tank, extending towards the front fork with tank covers, adds a muscular stance to the bike.
Furthermore, the N125 features a split seat configuration and alloy wheels similar to those seen on the now discontinued Pulsar P150. Unlike other Pulsar models, the N125 is equipped with a one-piece grab bar at the rear.
The Pulsar N125 comes in seven color options: four for the LED Disc variant and three for the LED Disc BT variant, offering buyers ample options to personalize their rides.
Resources and technology
The base model of the Pulsar N125 is equipped with a basic LCD display, while the higher-spec LED Disc BT variant adds a more sophisticated monochrome LCD with Bluetooth connectivity, enhancing the bike’s tech appeal. This level of feature differentiation aligns with the pricing of the two variants, giving customers a choice based on their technology preferences.
Mechanical Specifications
The Pulsar N125 employs a telescopic front fork and a rear monoshock for its suspension setup to provide a balanced ride. The braking system consists of a front disc brake and a rear drum brake. Additionally, the LED Disc BT variant is equipped with wider, low-profile 110/80-17 tires, while the base variant gets slightly narrower 100/90-17 tires, making the BT variant more performance-focused in terms of grip and handling. .
Engine and performance
Powering the Pulsar N125 is a reworked version of Bajaj’s existing 125cc engine. The engine produces 11.8 HP and 11 Nm of torque, similar to the NS125. However, there is a noticeable difference in torque delivery; the N125 reaches maximum torque at 6,000 RPM, compared to the NS125’s 7,000 RPM, which could provide a smoother, more accessible powerband for city riding.
Competition
With a starting price just below Rs. At 1 lakh, the Pulsar N125 competes with several well-established models in the 125cc passenger segment. Its combination of modern styling, decent power figures and a balance between affordability and features could make it an attractive choice for those looking for a daily commuter with a touch of style.
Overall, the Pulsar N125 presents itself as a cost-effective option in a crowded segment, offering basic and advanced variants to meet different customer needs.
