Bikewale reports that the ex-showroom price of the
facelifted Bajaj Pulsar 150 would be INR 78,234. This makes the bike INR 3,584
more expensive than the ex-showroom Bengaluru price of the current generation
Pulsar 150.
The facelifted model was spotted recently. The bike
now gets graphics similar to the Black Pack Edition of the Pulsar 150. The
seats are of split type, and the rear features split grab handles. Another
major change is the addition of a rear disc brake, which could be borrowed from
the 180 cc variant. The Pulsar 180 employs a 230 mm disc at the rear. The front
end gets disc brake as usual, and the front fender features a ‘Twin Disc’
sticker.
The 149 cc DTS-i engine is likely to witness a minor
bump in output, if at all it does. Currently, it generates 14 PS at 8,000 rpm,
and 13.4 Nm of torque at 6,000 rpm. The engine pairs with a five-speed gearbox.
A kick-start lever is missing in the spied motorcycle. Suspension bits include
telescopic front fork and twin Nitrox shock absorbers at the rear. The upcoming
bike will compete with the new Honda X-Blade, Suzuki Gixxer, and TVS Apache RTR
160.
