The 2017 Pulsar 150 was the only product not to meet the
upcoming BSIV norms. The Bajaj Pulsar 150 though now has been updated again to
meet the stricter BSIV norms. The bike remains the same cosmetically but has
several mechanical changes.
The powertrain gets a smaller bore, and longer
stroke reducing the power output to 14 PS at 8,000 rpm and increased the torque output to 13.4 Nm at 6,000 rpm. The engine mounts have been changed, and the CDI now has
five mappings instead of two in the older one. The clutch too has been made
lighter.
The BSIV complaint Pulsar gets a
bigger exhaust canister. The headlamp gets AHO (Auto Headlamp On) feature,
another technological aid which the government will be making mandatory for all
manufacturers shortly. The paint scheme follows the styling seen in the laser
etched Pulsar range and includes three shades, Laser Black, Nuclear Blue and
Dyno Red.
The 2017 Bajaj Pulsar 150 BSIV has a price tag of
INR 74,603 (ex-showroom, Delhi) which is INR 1,090 more expensive than the
BSIII model.
