What Are The Best Features of Bajaj Pulsar 150?

December 19, 2022 Sahil

One of the most successful and largest two-wheeler manufacturers in India is Bajaj Auto. The brand has always been associated with out-of-the-box product ideas. This indigenous brand was instrumental in revolutionizing the Indian motorcycle industry.

How?

Well, before Bajaj introduced the Pulsar 150 back in 2001, the motorcycles available in India lacked appeal and technology. The 150 CC Pulsar, however, came with a design that was an instant hit.

Furthermore, the second generation of the Pulsar 150 cc came with Bajaj-patented DTS-i technology. DTS-i is the abbreviation for Digital Twin Spark Ignition. The DTS-i technology involves equipping two spark plugs in the single-cylinder engine of the 150 CC Pulsar. Two sparkplugs enhanced the combustion cycle of the engine thus allowing it to produce more power during the power stroke.

The next technology that Bajaj chose to add to the 150 CC Pulsar is known as ExhausTEC. ExhausTEC stands for Exhaust Torque Expansion Chamber. It is a Bajaj-patented technology. It allows the 150 CC Pulsar to offer the rider more torque in low RPM ranges. The exhaust pipe of the 150 CC Pulsar is connected to a small chamber. This small chamber modifies the back pressure as well as the swirl characteristics of the exhaust gas. The result is more low-end torque available to the rider at all times.

Fast forward to 2022, the 150 CC Pulsar remains a top-selling bike from Bajaj. As per the official Bajaj bike price list, the base price of the bike is Rs. 1, 28,460*. The top trim is available at Rs. 1, 37,319*. It is to be noted that both prices are ex-showroom. On-road prices will differ from city to city.

Several other aspects make the 150 CC Pulsar a hit product in the Indian motorcycle industry. This post in the following sections will shine a light on some of them.

A performance-oriented engine

The engine of this motorcycle is a technological gem, to be honest. The motor has a total displacement of 150 CC. It still is an air-cooled, single-cylinder engine. Bajaj replaced the carburettor with a fuel-injection system to meet BS6 norms. The overall performance of the motor is linear. It is capable of producing 15 bhp of peak power. The peak torque output of the motor is 12 Nm. The engine is paired with a fine-tuned and sleek-shifting 5-speed transmission.

Impressive road dynamics thanks to a simple but effective suspension setup

The overall road dynamics of the bike are second to none. It offers the comfort of a commuter bike but performs like a street bike. To enhance the sporty character of the motorcycle, the suspensions entail the ‘medium’ setting. The front suspension travel factor has been increased in the current model year. The rear wheel suspensions get additional dampening capabilities from two gas reservoirs. Furthermore, the rear suspensions are preload-adjustable.

Impressive braking performance at all speeds

Bajaj equipped all variants of the bike with single-channel ABS. The base trim has a front disc and rear drum brake setup. The top trim comes with dual disc brakes. The brake bite factor of the bike is impressive. Hence cruising at 100+ KMPH wouldn’t be a dangerous affair.

Mature road behaviour thanks to decades of refinement

The overall road behaviour of the bike is mature thanks to decades of refinement. The current iteration of the 150 CC Pulsar comes with a revised chassis. The re-engineered chassis has improvised the manoeuvrability factor of the bike by many folds. On top of this, the bike’s straight-line and cornering stability factors are also enhanced.

Comfortable riding stance

The bike keeps the rider in a semi-sporty stance thus allowing one to keep riding for hours without feeling fatigued. The footrests are rear-set and the handlebar is well-positioned. Furthermore, the spacious, well-padded and contoured split-style seats add to the comfort factor of the bike.

Basic but essential features

The 150 CC Pulsar offers a ‘back-to-basic-biking’ experience. Bajaj has kept the bike free from unwanted electronics. However, one still has access to basic and essential features like –

Backlit switches
Side stand indicator
Analogue tachometer
A medium-sized digital screen on the side of the tachometer displays all essential ride-related information.
