No mechanical changes, but the 125cc commuter now gets all-LED lighting, digital instrumentation, and a price drop—Neon variant remains unchanged.
Bajaj Pulsar 125 Gets Feature Bump, Costs Less Than Before
Bajaj Auto has launched the updated Pulsar 125 at a starting price of ₹89,910, with key visual and feature upgrades but no changes to the mechanicals. This is notably ₹2,400 cheaper than the outgoing version, despite the added equipment.
- New LED headlight and LED turn indicators
- Fresh graphics on tank, engine cowl, and side panels
- Two variants: Carbon Single Seat (₹89,910) and Carbon Split Seat (₹92,046)
A rare price drop in 2026—Bajaj is clearly aiming to sharpen value for India’s most affordable Pulsar.
What’s New: Design and Features
The standout addition is the new LED headlight, borrowed from the recently updated Pulsar 150. It’s paired with LED turn indicators, giving the commuter bike a more premium lighting setup in line with current trends.
Other updates:
- New colour schemes and graphics
- Fully digital instrument cluster with Bluetooth connectivity (unchanged from the previous update)
- Design refresh for better road presence, especially in the sporty Carbon Split variant
In a segment where design and features often trump outright performance, these tweaks could keep the Pulsar 125 ahead of rivals like the Hero Glamour Xtec and TVS Raider.
No Changes Under the Hood
The bike retains its trusted 124.4cc air-cooled single-cylinder engine that makes:
- 11.8hp @ 8,500rpm
- 10.8Nm torque @ 6,500rpm
- Mated to a 5-speed gearbox
Chassis and cycle parts are also unchanged:
- Telescopic front forks, twin rear shocks
- 240mm front disc, rear drum brake
- 17-inch alloy wheels with tubeless tyres
This proven formula has helped the Pulsar 125 become one of Bajaj’s highest-selling models, combining style with commuter-friendly reliability.
Still No Update for Neon Variant
Importantly, these updates are exclusive to the Carbon trims. The entry-level Pulsar 125 Neon remains untouched—for now—with the older halogen headlight and analogue-digital cluster.
Will Bajaj refresh the Neon or keep it as the budget fallback? That remains to be seen.
TL;DR:
Bajaj has updated the Pulsar 125 with an LED headlight, LED indicators, new graphics, and fresh colour options—while also reducing prices by ₹2,400. Mechanicals remain unchanged. The update applies only to the Carbon trims; Neon variant remains as is.
