Bajaj Auto has just launched the all-new Pulsar N125 in India and it looks like it’s already catching the attention of a lot of enthusiasts and daily commuters alike. While pitches the Pulsar N160 as a sporty 125cc motorcycle, its design is bulkier than most of its competitors. That said, the styling of the Pulsar N125 from what we can see through the teaser image will surely grab attention and interest prospective buyers.
Bold Streetfighter Design
Pulsar N125 has a sporty streetfighter design with edgy body panels, bulky fuel tank and stylish tank shrouds. The beefy design with shape lines is solely eye-catching and its LED projector headlamp with LED DRLs and edgy tail section make it looks a bit premium and youthful. There are sporty features like split grab rails, a belly pan and dual-tone colour options catering to young buyers as well.
Refined 125cc Engine
Meanwhile, the Pulsar N125 is propelled by a 124.45cc air-cooled single-cylinder engine optimized for both performance and fuel efficiency. The motor develops 11.6 PS at 8,750 RPM and 10.8 Nm at 6,000 RPM mated to a slick shifting 5-speed gearbox Note : While the 0-100 kmph times should be brisk enough to deal with city traffic, fuel-economy figures on this commuter are an expected high.
Features and Technology
Even though it is a budget friendly motorcycle, Bajaj has loaded it with decent features for its class.
- LED projector headlamp (w/side drl)
- Instrumentation is a digital-analogue unit, and also gets an odometer and gear position indicator.
- Tank mounted USB mobile charger
- Added Safety in terms of Single-channel ABS with front disc brakes
- Riding feel is buttressed by sporty exhaust note.

Comfort and Ride Quality
While the Pulsar N125 adopts a sporty riding stance, the sitters placement is upright and should serve as comfortable for daily commutes with a well-padded seat. The footpeg location is ideal for city riding, the wide handlebars are just perfect and when coupled with its light chassis which weighs 140KG (kerb), this is a brilliantly easy bike to handle in traffic, as well as by those who have never ridden a motorcycle before.
Pricing and Competition
The Pulsar N125 rivals the likes of TVS Raider 125 and Honda SP 125 in the Indian market, and is expected to be priced around ₹1 lakh (ex-showroom). Key highlights to the RS includes the sportier design, projector headlamps and new-to-segment features.
Final Verdict
The Pulsar N125 is a combination of styling, performance, and price. It adds a premium touch to the 125cc class and is perfect for college-goers, urban riders and entry-level buyers upgrading from an ordinary daily commute two-wheeler. If you want to stand out without sacrificing performance this 2025, look no further than the Pulsar N125.
