Bajaj Pulsar 125 price and specs for the 2026 update

Bajaj Pulsar 125 price and specs for the 2026 update

The classic Bajaj Pulsar 125 has received a massive mechanical overhaul for 2026 while keeping its familiar commuter silhouette intact. Buyers looking at entry-level sports commuters now get an entirely different frame and a heavily revised engine that aims to make city riding much easier.

What changed under the skin

The double-cradle frame and twin rear shock absorbers have been dropped in favour of a lighter diamond frame and a rear monoshock setup. The new 124.4 cc engine uses the lightest crank inertia in its class and puts out 11.8 bhp of power alongside 11.4 Nm of torque. Published testing puts real-world fuel economy around 50 kmpl, matching the manufacturer claims.

Variant choices and pricing details

The ex-showroom price for the Bajaj Pulsar 125 ranges between ₹92,990 and ₹1.04 lakh depending on the variant chosen. On-road prices vary significantly across major centres such as Delhi at ₹1.09 lakh, Mumbai at ₹1.13 lakh, Bangalore at ₹1.12 lakh, Pune at ₹1.16 lakh, and Kolkata at ₹1.10 lakh.

Features on offer across trims

Higher variants come with modern equipment like an Integrated Starter Generator for silent starts, a USB-C charging port, and a TFT display with smartphone connectivity. However, safety equipment remains basic with a front disc brake on upper trims and drum brakes at the rear across the lineup, with no ABS option available.

Owner feedback and ratings

Pooled owner ratings across public listings currently stand at 3.5 out of 5 stars from 4,440 reviews. Buyers frequently praise the nimble handling in traffic, while some point out that the rear suspension can feel slightly stiff over broken tarmac.

Are you planning to buy the updated Pulsar 125 or sticking with the older generation model?

Who it suits

  • Daily city commuter — The claimed 50 km/L efficiency and 124.4cc petrol engine make it well suited to regular urban commuting.
  • Mileage-focused buyer — The published claimed mileage is 50 km/L, keeping fuel efficiency competitive for a 125cc commuter.
  • Budget-conscious new-bike buyer — Its approximate ex-showroom price of ₹90,494–₹1.05 lakh keeps the entry point below many larger-capacity motorcycles.
  • Buyer wanting multiple trim choices — Four listed variants, including single-seat and split-seat versions with LCD/TFT options, provide different equipment and seating configurations.

Worth knowing

  • · Published on-road prices range from ₹1.09 lakh in Delhi to ₹1.16 lakh in Pune, so the final purchase cost varies materially by city.
  • · The owner rating is 3.5/5 from our pooled 4,440-owner sample, which is solid but not exceptional.
  • · The published safety table lists only a front disc and rear drum; no ABS specification is provided in the checked data.
