Sporty and with the charm of new-age
Despite its 125cc capacity, the all mew Pulsar 125 looks butch and aggressive that is unlike anything we on 125cc. With sculpted tank shrouds, aggressive graphics and two-tone color options, it looks premium while still being affordable.

Featuring an upright handlebar and 2.3inch wide tires, the comfortable riding posture makes it easy for all riders to spend hours in the saddle, colors options are based on inspiration from global trends to a frosted maple crucial to long city rides.
Engine & Performance
Powering the Pulsar 125 is a 124.4cc air-cooled, single-cylinder DTS-i engine. This engine generates 11. 8 PS at 8500 rpm and 10.8 Nm at 6500 rpm. These numbers are class-leading and the Pulsar 125 is one of the most powerful bikes in its segment.
Mated to a 5-speed transmission, it promises seamless gear-changes and a commuter-friendly ride. Power delivery is strong and the engine is vibration free, even at the higher end of the speed range. The bike is thus suitable for stop-and-go city traffic and open roads.
Great Milage & gas saver
One of the major factors contributing to the success of Pulsar 125 is its mileage figures. The 2025 plies through this tradition proudly and returns a 55-60 km/l under normal riding conditions. The bike has a decent range thanks to an 11.5-litre tank and requires less number of visits to the fuel station.
While that kind of economy is great, When you add that to how low the maintenance for the bike is, then you know that you have a good commuting bike on your end.
Features & Technology
The updated Pulsar 125 now gets a semi-digital instrument cluster, comprising of a digital speedometer, trip meter, odometer, fuel gauge and service reminder. It also receives a new USB mobile charging port and optional Bluetooth for calling and SMS alerts. Other useful features are:
- Electric Start
- Engine Kill Switch
- Pass Light
- Side Stand Engine Cut-off (for safety reason)
It comes fitted with traditional halogen lamps in the front, while the tail lamp sports an LED treatment to keep it feeling contemporary.
Ride Comfort & Handling
The frame of the bike is sturdy while a telescopic front fork is complemented by twin gas shock absorbers at the back. The suspension is nicely tweaked for our local roads and gobbles up the minor undulation and pot holes with ease.
Braking is done by a 240mm front disc and 130mm rear drum (with CBS). Brakes are crisp, and the stopping power is firm and strong with no fading. The bike remains sure-footed through turns and tackles sharp turns easily making it a pleasure to ride in the city.

The Bajaj Pulsar 125 2025 is available in two primary variants:
- Drum Brake Variant – Approx. ₹85,000 (ex-showroom)
- Disc Brake Variant – Approx. ₹90,000 (ex-showroom)
It goes up against the Honda SP 125, Hero Glamour, and TVS Raider 125. But when it comes to performance of engine and the looks, I think Pulsar stays ahead.
