While Bajaj is yet
to announce a replacement for the Pulsar 135LS in India, it has launched the
Pulsar NS125 CBS in Colombia. Previously, the motorcycle was launched in Poland
in October last year. Unlike the Bajaj
Pulsar NS125 in Poland, the Bajaj Pulsar NS125 in Colombia employs a
carburetted engine. Its 125 cc single-cylinder 4-valve air-cooled engine with
the company's DTS-i tech makes 11.8 hp at 8,500 rpm 10.8 Nm of maximum torque
at 7,000 engine revs. The motor is linked to a 5-speed gearbox.
In terms of styling,
the Pulsar NS125 draws visual cues from the Pulsar 135LS. The fascia includes a
sharp design for the headlight that is joined by a dual tone mask and a compact
flyscreen. The cockpit comprises a semi-digital instrument console. The
tachometer is an analogue meter while the rest of the information is available
on the digital display. Similar to the bigger Pulsar models, the instrument
console features a carbon-fibre texture surround for a sporty look from the
rider’s view.
The fuel tank, side
and rear panels are nearly identical to those of the Pulsar 135LS. The shrouds
add a muscular look to the motorcycle while the dual-tone finish adds a premium
touch to the package. The saddle features a split design, while the pillion
grab rail is a sporty, two-piece unit. Unlike the Pulsar 135LS, the 125 cc
model is equipped with an engine cowl.
Hardware
specifications are basic, and shock absorption tasks are performed by
conventional telescopic front fork and twin-sided Nitrox shock absorber at the
back. Anchoring department comprises a 240 mm single disc brake on the front
wheel and 130 mm drum unit at the rear. The safety net includes combi-braking
system. The motorcycle is priced at 4,699,000 Colombian peso, which roughly
translates to INR 97,245 (converted price in INR for representation only).
