Pulsar 150NS

Bajaj and the companies it has a stake in or is responsible for the distribution network of dominate news and generate a considerable amount of dinner-table discussions every day. Just take a look at the sheer volume of Bajaj bikes we’re all “eagerly awaiting” and you get an idea of just what a heavy-weight Bajaj is in the Indian market. The wowed us all by bringing two 400cc Pulsars to the 2014 Auto Expo. Master move considering we were all expecting the new 200SS to show up. Following that, the 200SS did show up, at lots of places, and was spied testing all over the place. This time around it is a featherweight from the NS line- the Pulsar 150NS.

Spy pictures of the Bajaj Pulsar 150NS are pretty detailed. We get to see most of the bike pretty clearly as there doesn’t seem to have been any camo concealing parts of it. The Bajaj Pulsar 200NS has been a volume-heavy bike that has ushered in a new sense of respect for the Pulsar flagship. Expectedly, the 150NS will borrow heavily from its 200cc sibling. And from what we see so far the exteriors look so alike the 150NS could easily be mistaken for the 200NS.

The Pulsar 150NS unit spotted on tests used an aluminium holder for the number plate, and split grab rail as on the 200NS. The one difference that you can make out its that the 150NS test bike had a single seat, whereas the Pulsar 200NS uses split seats. Other elements such as the foot pegs, wheels, indicators, and instrument cluster have been taken right of the 200NS.

The Pulsar 150 is currently powered by an air-cooled 149 cc displacement four-stroke DTS-I engine. It has a maximum power output of 15.06PS at 9000RPM and 12.5 NM peak torque at 6500 RPM. A 5-speed gearbox is used. It is worth noting here that the Pulsar 150NS engine cover says it uses triple-spark tech. This could mean Bajaj is going to feature a new engine on the Pulsar 150NS. The Pulsar 150NS and 180NS will be priced at a slight premium over their non-NS counterparts.
