A Game-Changer in the 125cc Segment
Bajaj Auto has once again stirred the Indian two-wheeler market with the launch of the Pulsar N125 in October 2024, a sporty commuter designed to captivate young riders. Priced at ₹94,707 for the base LED Disc variant and ₹98,707 for the top-spec LED Disc BT (ex-showroom, Delhi), this bike blends aggressive styling, modern tech, and affordability. Competing with the TVS Raider 125 and Hero Xtreme 125R, the Pulsar N125 strengthens Bajaj’s dominance in the 125cc segment, which saw the Pulsar range cross 2 crore global sales in 2025.
Striking Design and Youthful Appeal
The Pulsar N125 introduces a fresh design language, distinct from its N-series siblings like the N160 and N250. Its sharp, angular lines, stacked LED headlamps, and two-piece LED tail lamp create a bold, futuristic look. The split-seat setup, single-piece grab rail, and a shrouded 9.5-litre fuel tank with vibrant color options—Purple Fury, Cocktail Wine Red, and Citrus Rush, among others—appeal to style-conscious riders. The bike’s lightweight 125kg frame and segment-leading 198mm ground clearance ensure agility and practicality for urban commuting.
Performance and Specifications
Powered by a new 124.58cc, air-cooled, single-cylinder engine with Integrated Starter Generator (ISG) technology, the Pulsar N125 delivers 11.8 bhp at 8,500 rpm and 11 Nm of torque at 6,000 rpm, paired with a 5-speed gearbox. Bajaj claims an impressive fuel efficiency of 60 kmpl, making it a wallet-friendly choice. The bike rides on 17-inch alloy wheels, with a 240mm front disc and 130mm rear drum brake, supported by telescopic front forks and a rear monoshock.

Tech-Loaded Features
The Pulsar N125 is packed with modern features to enhance the riding experience. The top-spec LED Disc BT variant offers a fully digital LCD console with Bluetooth connectivity via the Bajaj Ride Connect app, displaying call/SMS alerts, speed, fuel gauge, and gear position. Both variants include LED lighting, a USB charging port, and a 100/90 rear tyre on the Bluetooth trim (80/100 on the base). These additions make the N125 a tech-savvy option for young commuters seeking connectivity and convenience.
Market Impact and Competitive Edge
The Pulsar N125 enters a fiercely competitive 125cc segment, yet its sporty design, segment-leading power, and aggressive pricing give it an edge. Recent posts on X highlight its value-for-money appeal for budget-conscious bikers, reflecting positive sentiment. Bajaj’s celebratory discounts of up to ₹7,300 in April 2025 further boost its affordability. While rivals like the TVS Raider 125 offer a slight price advantage, the N125’s premium features and Pulsar legacy make it a strong contender.
Why the Pulsar N125 Stands Out
The Bajaj Pulsar N125 is more than just a commuter; it’s a statement of style and performance for the youth. Its vibrant design, robust engine, and tech-loaded features redefine expectations in the 125cc category. With bookings open and deliveries underway, the N125 is poised to continue Bajaj’s winning streak in India and beyond. For riders seeking a blend of thrill and efficiency, this Pulsar is a must-test-ride at your nearest Bajaj dealership.
