Bajaj Pulsar 125 2026 Launched in India at Rs 89,910

Bajaj Auto has dropped a fresh update on one of India's most loved commuter bikes. The **2026 Bajaj Pulsar 125** is now official in the market. This comes right after the refreshed Pulsar 150, as Bajaj keeps the Classic Pulsar lineup modern without major overhauls. The launch happened in mid-January 2026. Buyers get a sharper look at a small price bump. This move helps the Pulsar 125 stay competitive in the crowded 125cc segment.

### What’s New in the 2026 Model?

Bajaj focuses on visual and lighting upgrades this time. - All-LED headlight for the first time on this model. - LED turn indicators replace old halogen ones. - Updated graphics on fuel tank, side panels, and engine cowl. - Four fresh color options: Black Grey, Black Racing Red, Black Cyan Blue, and Racing Red with Tan Beige. - Note: The base Neon variant skips these cosmetic changes. No big mechanical shifts happen. The bike keeps its proven setup for daily rides.

### Why This Update Matters

The Pulsar 125 has sold strongly for years as a sporty yet practical commuter. But it started to look dated next to rivals with better lights and styles. LED lighting brings better visibility at night. This matters a lot on Indian roads with poor streetlights and frequent night rides. Sharper graphics give a premium feel without raising costs too much. Bajaj prices the update sensibly. The hike stays around Rs 3,500 over the old model. This keeps the bike affordable for first-time buyers, students, and daily commuters.

### Expected Impact on the Indian Market

The 125cc segment sees tough fights from Honda SP 125, Hero Glamour Xtreme, and others. These rivals offer good mileage and features. The refreshed Pulsar 125 fights back with Pulsar’s bold DNA. LED upgrades make it feel more upmarket. Sales should hold strong or even rise slightly in urban and semi-urban areas. Bajaj sells thousands of Pulsars monthly. This update extends the model's life before any bigger next-gen changes. It also builds excitement for the Pulsar’s 25-year legacy in India.

### Buyer Perspective: Is It Worth It?

For daily city rides, the Pulsar 125 works well. The 124.4cc air-cooled engine gives 11.8 PS power and 10.8 Nm torque. It pairs with a 5-speed gearbox for smooth shifts. Real-world mileage hovers around 50 kmpl in mixed conditions. This suits fuel-conscious buyers in Lucknow or other UP cities. The LED headlight improves safety on evening commutes. New colors let young riders stand out without extra spend. The price jump feels fair for the upgrades. Buyers get modern touches while keeping low running costs and easy service at Bajaj outlets.
