Bajaj Pulsar 150 BS6

The Bajaj Pulsar 150 BS6 is the latest iteration of a motorcycle that has become a staple for Indian motorcyclists looking for a blend of power, performance, and practicality. Bajaj has updated its best-seller to meet the new BS6 emission norms, and we are here to explore whether the new iteration holds up to the high standards set by its predecessors.



Design and Styling
The Pulsar 150 BS6 maintains the iconic design that has made it so recognizable on the roads. The motorcycle is available in two striking colours, Black Grey and Black Red, both of which exude a sporty and aggressive look.

Engine and Performance
The Bajaj Pulsar 150 BS6 is powered by a 149.50 cc, 4-Stroke, 2-Valve, Twin Spark BSVI Compliant DTS-i FI Engine, offering a top speed of around 110 kmph. It delivers a maximum power of 14 PS at 8500 rpm and a maximum torque of 13.25 Nm at 6500 rpm. The fuel injection system ensures a more efficient burn, better throttle response, and improved performance compared to the BS4 model.

Fuel efficiency remains commendable, with the motorcycle offering a mileage of around 50 km per litre. With a 15-litre fuel tank, you can cover a significant distance before needing to refuel.

Ride and Handling
When it comes to handling, the Pulsar 150 BS6 offers a good balance between sporty riding and commuter comfort. The bike's weight of 148 kg and a wheelbase of 1320 mm ensure stability on the road, while the ground clearance of 165 mm offers enough leeway to handle speed bumps and uneven surfaces comfortably.

The front suspension uses a 31 mm conventional fork, while the rear suspension uses a gas-filled twin shock absorber with a canister. These work together to absorb road imperfections and provide a smooth ride.

Braking and Safety
The Pulsar 150 BS6 is equipped with a 260 mm front disc brake with ABS, providing excellent stopping power and reducing the risk of skidding during emergency stops. The rear brake is a 130 mm drum, which also provides adequate stopping power.



Electrical and Lighting
The motorcycle uses a 12V Full DC battery. It has a 35/35 W headlamp with two pilot lamps, equipped with Auto Headlamp On (AHO) feature. This feature ensures better visibility during daytime and improves the safety factor.

Tyres and Wheels
The Pulsar 150 BS6 comes with tubeless tyres and alloy wheels, providing better performance and reducing the risk of sudden deflation in case of a puncture. The front tyre measures 80/100 17, and the rear tyre measures 100/90 17.



Price
The ex-showroom price in Delhi for the Bajaj Pulsar 150 BS6 is Rs. 1,11,174, which considering the upgrades, performance, and reliability, provides a good value proposition.

Conclusion
The Bajaj Pulsar 150 BS6 continues to build on the reputation of its predecessors. It is a motorcycle that doesn't compromise on performance or features, while also keeping an eye on environmental considerations. Whether you're looking for a daily commuter or a sporty ride for the weekends, the Pulsar 150 BS6 is a bike worth considering.
