Bajaj Pulsar is one of the most popular and iconic names in the Indian motorcycle industry. It has dominated the 150cc segment for over a decade and a half. Especially in Bangladesh, the Pulsar 150 bike is widely popular among the youth due to its muscular looks, performance, and fuel efficiency. With the addition of Single-Channel ABS as a modern safety feature, the Bajaj Pulsar 150 ABS now offers a more confident and safer riding experience.
Design
The Pulsar 150 ABS bike maintains its traditional sporty and muscular design, which gives it a 'Roadster' look. Its iconic 'Wolf-Eyed' headlamp gives the bike an aggressive front face. The sharp curves of the fuel tank and the sporty graphics attract the attention of the new generation of bikers. The newly added carbon fiber accents in this version further enhance the bike's premium feel. The use of split seats and split grab rails instead of a long single seat has made the bike sportier. The vertical twin-slit LED tail lamp, a trademark of the Pulsar series, makes it easily recognizable from the rear. The handlebar features a semi-digital console that clearly displays all necessary information. All in all, the design of the Pulsar 150 ABS is built to turn heads on city streets.
Dimensions
The riding comfort and handling of a bike largely depend on its dimensions. The dimensions of the Bajaj Pulsar 150 ABS make it suitable for city traffic and long journeys. Its wheelbase is 1345mm , which provides stability at high speeds. The overall length of the bike is 2035mm and the width is 765 mm. Its height is 1115mm. As a 150cc bike, its curb weight is slightly higher, at about 148 to150 kg. This heavy build gives the bike a more robust and controlled feeling on the road. The fuel tank capacity is 15 liters, which is sufficient for long rides. The ground clearance is kept at 165mm, which helps protect the engine from underbelly impacts even on the rough roads of Bangladesh.
Engine
The core strength of the Pulsar 150 is its time-tested powerful engine with a displacement of 159.5 cc. It is a 4-Stroke, 2-Valve, Twin Spark BSVI Compliant DTS-i FI Engine, which is renowned for its advanced performance. This Air-Cooled engine is capable of producing a maximum power of 10.3 kW 14 PS@8500rpm and a torque of 13.4 Nm@6500 rpm. Thanks to Bajaj's patented DTS-i (Digital Twin Spark Ignition) technology and Fuel Injection (FI) system, this engine is extremely efficient in fuel consumption while also providing quick acceleration. Additionally, it has a 5-speed gearbox. The ExhausTEC technology helps increase torque even at low RPMs, which makes riding the bike much easier in city traffic. The main attraction of this engine is its reliability and long-lasting performance.
Tyres
The role of tyres is undeniable for a safe and comfortable ride. The Pulsar 150 ABS uses tubeless tyres, which reduce the risk of punctures and simplify maintenance. The front tyre size is 90/90-17 and the rear tyre size is 120/80-17 (for the Twin Disc ABS variant). These relatively wider tyres provide strong grip and good control on the road, especially when taking corners or on wet roads. The 17inch alloy wheels match the design and further enhance the bike's overall sporty look.
Suspension
To ensure rider comfort, the Pulsar 150 ABS uses an effective suspension setup. The front features Telescopic Forks with Anti-Friction Bush suspension, which is adept at handling minor bumps or jolts on the road. The rear suspension is a Twin Shock Absorber, Gas filled with Canister (Nitrox). The Nitrox suspension provides a comfortable response according to the rider's weight and road conditions. This suspension setup offers ample comfort to the biker when crossing bad city roads or speed bumps.
Braking
The most important upgrade of the Bajaj Pulsar 150 ABS is its braking system, which incorporates a Single-Channel Anti-lock Braking System (ABS). The front wheel has a disc brake 260 mm Disc, and the ABS system prevents the wheel from locking up (Skidding) during sudden braking, especially on wet or slippery roads. This adds confidence to the biker, helping to maintain control and avoid accidents. The single-channel ABS feature establishes the bike as one of the safest options in this segment.
Conclusion
The Bajaj Pulsar 150 ABS motorcycle is a powerful combination of performance, style, and safety. Its traditional muscular design, reliable DTS-i engine, and especially the inclusion of ABS make it a sustainable competitor in the 150cc segment. It is ideal for bikers who are looking for a bike that is attractive, provides good mileage, and is safe for daily commuting or occasional long tours.
