New Pulsar N150: In the Indian 2-wheeler segment, how important is segregation, meaning the need for differentiation among different products, is well understood by some manufacturers. However, certain manufacturers, like Bajaj, belong to a league of their own. They realize that even by cross-breeding multiple body shells, body types, and engines, a good product can be created.

The Bajaj Pulsar N150 is the result of this engineering philosophy. This is the brand new Pulsar N150 that has been launched in India, with an approximate price of 1.17 lakh rupees ex-showroom in Delhi. In this article, I will share with you all the complete details about what it offers in terms of technology, safety features, and whether it’s a good choice for you. The decision is ultimately yours, but this video will be quite helpful as a buying guide.
Understanding why the N150 was created is crucial. The N160 Pulsar was launched in Delhi NCR and specific regional markets last year and performed exceptionally well. In fact, 10% of Bajaj’s sales revenue in the past fiscal year came from the N160, which is a significant achievement.
Design
Customer insights suggest that the design of the N160 was highly appreciated by customers. With this design in mind, Bajaj has undertaken a new experiment, but it’s not just an experiment because the bike has been meticulously crafted. The reason for its existence is simple: if you combine a small engine with a large body shell, you can purchase a good-looking motorcycle at a lower cost. This is what the N150 represents. So, obviously, you will find a design similar to the N160 in the N150.
New Pulsar N150 Specifications:
- Engine: 149.6 cc BS6 single-cylinder Engine
- Power: 14.5 bhp at 8,500 rpm
- Torque: 13.5 Nm at 6,000 rpm

Now, Bajaj’s portfolio includes a total of three bikes in the 150cc segment, with the most modern update being the N150. Others are P150 and N160
New Bajaj Pulsar N150 Style:
The styling of the Bajaj Pulsar N150 has borrowed elements from its older sibling, the N160. It features a center-set LED projector headlight on the front, flanked by DRLs. Where you’ll find two LED DRLs, the LED projector headlight is a great addition, offering clear visibility. The rear part of this bike provides you with 18% more cushioning compared to the old Pulsar 150. It comes in three colors: black, red, and surprisingly, white. The white color in the Pulsar is something you haven’t seen for a long time.
New Bajaj Pulsar N150 Features:
Moving on, you’ll notice telescopic front suspension, 17-inch alloy wheels, and tubeless tires with a section width of 1990. These tires are not only wide but also grippy, as per Bajaj’s claim, and they are designed to provide better road grip. You’ll find a disc brake in the front for the front wheel, but at the rear, you’ll have a drum brake. As soon as you turn on this infinity display, you’ll notice it’s once again borrowed from the N160, with a semi-digital console. Here, you have a tachometer that’s analog with a needle.
Alongside that, you get a digital display that offers a gear position indicator, as well as speed and distance to empty, indicating how much fuel is left in the bike and how far it can go. It also provides instantaneous and average fuel economy, telling you how much mileage the bike has been giving you on average.
