For years, the Pulsar 125 has been a favorite choice for college students and office commuters because it offers the muscular style of the bigger Pulsar 150 but at a lower price and better mileage. Now, with the latest 2026 update, Bajaj has fixed the biggest complaint users had: the old halogen lights.
Here is everything you need to know about the new 2026 Bajaj Pulsar 125, its price, features, and what has changed.
What is New in the 2026 Model?

- LED Indicators: Along with the headlight, the turn indicators (blinkers) are now also LED, replacing the old orange bulb indicators.
- New Graphics: The bike features fresh body graphics (stickers) on the fuel tank, engine cowl, and side panels. These new decals make the bike look fresher compared to the older models.

- Black Cyan Blue (A new, trendy vibrant blue)
- Racing Red with Tan Beige (A unique and bold combination)
Engine and Performance
While the looks have changed, the heart of the bike remains the same. Bajaj has decided to trust its reliable engine that is already popular for its balance of power and mileage.
- Engine: 124.4cc, Single-cylinder, Air-cooled
- Power: 11.64 BHP @ 8,500 RPM
- Torque: 10.8 Nm @ 6,500 RPM
- Gearbox: 5-Speed Manual
This engine is known for being punchy enough for city traffic while still delivering decent fuel efficiency.
Key Features
The bike is not just about looks; it also packs some useful features for daily riders:
- Digital Instrument Cluster: It comes with a fully digital meter console.
- Bluetooth Connectivity: You can connect your phone to the bike to see basic notifications (though it misses out on turn-by-turn navigation).
- USB Charging: A USB port is included, which is very useful for charging your phone on the go.
- Braking: It gets a front Disc brake and a rear Drum brake with a combined braking system for safety.
Why Does This Launch Matter?
The 125cc segment in India is very crowded with competitors like the Honda SP 125, TVS Raider 125, and Hero Xtreme 125R. Most of these rivals already offered LED lights and digital meters.
By updating the Pulsar 125 with these features, Bajaj has ensured that its most affordable sporty bike remains a strong competitor. It offers the “big bike feel” that other 125cc commuters often lack.
