Bajaj Auto will launch the new Bajaj Pulsar 125 and Pulsar 150 in India on August 24. Both motorcycles will use a new platform with major design and mechanical changes.

The motorcycles have already started reaching dealerships and have been spotted ahead of the launch. This launch marks a major update for the Pulsar range as it completes 25 years in India.

The Bajaj bikes get a fresh frame, monoshock suspension, updated engines and new displays. Bajaj is also expected to keep their prices competitive against rivals in the 125cc and 150cc segments.

New Bajaj Pulsar 125 & 150 Get Fresh Design

The new Pulsars feature a sharper design while retaining the familiar Pulsar identity. The front gets a larger headlight cowl and a new LED headlamp. The fuel tank looks larger and more muscular, while the rear section gets a slimmer design. These changes give both motorcycles a more modern appearance.

Both bikes will use a new frame with a telescopic front fork and monoshock suspension. This replaces the dual shock setup used on the outgoing Pulsar 150. Braking is handled by a front disc brake and a rear drum brake.
