Bajaj Pulsar NS125 BS6

The Bajaj Pulsar NS125 BS6 is the newest entrant to Bajaj’s line of sporty motorcycles, making waves in the Indian two-wheeler market with its amalgamation of robust performance, sleek aesthetics, and affordability. This latest model introduces a BSVI-compliant powertrain and multiple new color options, intending to appeal to a wider array of biking enthusiasts.



Design and Styling
Bajaj's Pulsar series has always been known for its bold and aggressive design language, and the NS125 BS6 doesn't disappoint. The motorcycle comes in four different colours - Orange, Burnt Red, Pewter Grey, and Saffire Blue, adding a vibrant flair to the bold design. The muscular fuel tank, the sharp edges, and the dynamic silhouette together render a sporty appeal to the bike that most young riders will find irresistible.

Engine and Performance
Under the hood, the NS125 houses a 124.45 cc 4-stroke, SOHC 2-Valve, air-cooled, BSVI-compliant DTS-i Ei engine. This engine churns out a maximum power of 11.8 hp at 8500 rpm and a maximum torque of 11 Nm at 7000 rpm. Coupled with a 5-speed constant mesh transmission, this powertrain ensures a smooth and responsive riding experience.

Despite being a 125cc category bike, the power and torque figures make it evident that the NS125 is no slouch in terms of performance. The power delivery is linear and consistent, providing riders with enough oomph for both city riding and occasional highway cruising.

Chassis and Suspension
The bike's chassis is designed with a keen focus on balance and stability. The front suspension utilizes a telescopic setup, while the rear end is managed by mono shocks, delivering an optimal balance between comfort and performance. Whether you are navigating through city traffic or cruising down highways, the NS125 delivers a plush ride quality.

The bike also impresses with its 179mm ground clearance, ensuring hassle-free manoeuvrability over speed bumps and potholes. With a kerb weight of 144 kg, the bike strikes a balance between stability at high speeds and agility in city traffic.



Brakes and Tyres
The NS125 employs a 240 mm disc brake at the front and a 130 mm drum brake at the rear. The brakes offer good stopping power and are further supported by the CBS (Combi-Brake System), enhancing safety during sudden braking scenarios.

As for the tyres, the bike uses alloy wheels with an 80/100-17 tubeless tyre at the front and a 100/90-17 tubeless tyre at the rear. The tubeless tyres improve safety by reducing the risk of sudden deflation during punctures.

Electricals and Lighting
The bike features a 12V, 35/35W headlamp. The illumination is satisfactory for city riding but might feel slightly lacking for pitch-dark highway runs. Additionally, the full DC MF system ensures that the electrical components of the bike run smoothly, delivering a hassle-free experience.

Priced at INR 1,05,754 (Ex-showroom, Delhi), the Bajaj Pulsar NS125 BS6 offers an attractive package of performance, design, and features. It's a capable contender in the 125cc category, offering good value for money.

Conclusion
The Bajaj Pulsar NS125 BS6 proves to be an exciting package. It offers punchy performance, good handling dynamics, and attractive styling, all while maintaining the reliability and efficiency expected of the Bajaj brand.
