The Bajaj Pulsar 125 brings the iconic “Pulsar” sporty styling into the 125 cc commuter segment, combining performance, practical features and everyday usability. With a 5-speed gearbox, muscular design and trusted brand backing, it’s positioned for riders wanting both looks and efficiency.
Engine and Performance
It is powered by a 124.4 cc, single-cylinder, 4-stroke, BS6-compliant DTS-i engine that produces around 11.8 PS @ 8,500 rpm and 10.8 Nm @ 6,500 rpm. The bike uses a 5-speed manual transmission which helps it deliver decent pick-up and city commuting ability.
Mileage and Fuel Tank
With an 11.5 litre fuel tank (in many variants) and efficient engine tuning, it offers a claimed mileage around 50–51 km/l in everyday use. This makes it a reasonably good choice for daily commuting.
Design and Features
The Pulsar 125 carries the bold styling of its bigger siblings — muscular fuel tank, sporty graphics, option for split-seat variants, and tubeless tyres (80/100-17 front, 100/90-17 rear) for better grip. It also features a front disc brake (240 mm) and rear drum brake (130 mm) in many variants, adding to its sporty credentials.
Comfort, Brakes & Handling
Suspension is handled via telescopic front forks and twin gas shock absorbers at the rear. Ground clearance is about 165 mm. The front disc and paired braking system offer adequate control, especially for daily use.

The ex-showroom price in Delhi for variants of Pulsar 125 is reported starting around ₹79,048 and going up depending on variant and features. The on-road price in various cities will vary with taxes, insurance, and local duties.
Conclusion
If you’re looking for a 125 cc bike that blends sporty styling with commuting practicality, the Pulsar 125 is a strong candidate.
