▼The Bajaj Pulsar 125 has been launched after a long gap, and it is the best update that Bajaj has offered in terms of this model since its launch. Bajaj has revamped every part of this model, from engine to chassis to suspension system, and added tech features that give better performance to this vehicle.
The price for the Bajaj Pulsar 125 starts from ₹92,990 (ex-showroom) for the basic variant to ₹104,318 for the fully loaded Premium Split Seat version.
Bajaj Pulsar 125: What's New in 2026
Bajaj hasn't just given the Pulsar 125 a new sticker set. The bike now sits on a diamond-type chassis, and the old twin-shock rear end has been swapped for a monoshock setup across the entire range, which should sharpen handling and improve ride quality over broken city roads — exactly where most Pulsar 125 owners actually ride.
- All-new LED headlight with revised fuel-tank extensions
- Updated dual-tone exhaust and redesigned grab rails
- Diamond-type chassis replacing the older frame
- Monoshock rear suspension across all variants
- Available in five colour options

Engine and Performance

Beneath the tank, the motorcycle features a 124.58cc engine that generates nearly 12 PS of power and 11.4 Nm of torque at 6,000 rpm, coupled with a changed five-speed transmission featuring altered gear bevels. According to Bajaj, this is an advancement that enhances low-speed capabilities and reduces the need for clutch action while riding in traffic.
However, the more important development is Crawl Tech, a new feature that allows the motorcycle to creep in heavy traffic without requiring constant throttle or clutch use. It's a segment-first kind of feature for a bike at this price point, and one riders stuck in city gridlock will likely appreciate more than any number on a spec sheet.
Variants and Price List
The new Pulsar 125 is offered in four variants, split across single-seat and split-seat configurations:
|
Variant |
Key Highlights |
Ex-Showroom Price |
|---|---|---|
|
Base |
Single seat, coloured LCD, monoshock, LED headlamp |
₹92,990 |
|
Standard Single Seat |
5-inch TFT, ride modes, LED indicators |
₹99,291 |
|
Standard Split Seat |
Same equipment, split-seat layout |
₹1,00,288 |
|
Premium Split Seat |
Full connected feature package |
₹1,04,318 |
Stepping up from the base to the Standard Single Seat variant unlocks the biggest equipment jump, the TFT display, ride modes, and connected features all arrive at that tier, which makes it the sensible pick for most buyers rather than a case of paying extra purely for badge value.
Features and Technology

Higher variants bring a genuinely modern feature set for a 125cc commuter:
- 5-inch full-colour TFT display with smartphone connectivity
- Road, Rain, and Sport ride modes
- LED indicators and hazard lights

Bajaj Pulsar 125 vs Rivals
Here's how the new Pulsar 125 stacks up against its closest 125cc competition on paper:
|

Engine |
Key Feature Highlight |
|---|---|---|
|
Bajaj Pulsar 125 |
124.58cc |
Crawl Tech, TFT display, ride modes |
|

On feature count alone, the Pulsar 125 now edges ahead of most of this list, particularly with Crawl Tech and full ride modes, additions none of its direct rivals currently offer at a similar price.
Buy It If / Think Before Buying
Buy it if:
- You want the most feature-rich 125cc commuter currently on sale
- Daily traffic riding is a big part of your routine, and Crawl Tech genuinely helps
- You value ride quality upgrades like the new monoshock setup
Think before buying if:
- You're shopping strictly on mileage and running costs, where rivals may still have an edge
- ABS is a non-negotiable for you, since the Pulsar 125 continues with CBS only
- You'd rather wait for real-world reliability feedback on an all-new engine and chassis
Conclusion
The new Bajaj Pulsar 125 finally brings the nameplate's engineering and features up to speed with modern commuter expectations. Between the updated chassis, Crawl Tech, and a well-judged variant spread, it's shaping up to be one of the stronger options in its class this year, and one that's genuinely worth cross-shopping against the established 125cc favourites.
