Bajaj Pulsar 150 NS to be launched next month

Bajaj Auto Ltd will be launching a fourth all-new Pulsar next month after the launch of the Pulsar RS 200, AS 200 and AS 150.

The new Pulsar will be the much-awaited naked Pulsar 150 NS and will likely replace the ageing Pulsar 150.

In terms of looks, the 150 NS will take design cues from the 200 NS, but essentially it will be a Pulsar AS 150 without the quarter fairing. The new 150 NS will be based on the same perimeter frame as the Pulsar AS 150 and will also sport a nitrox monoshock at the rear, like the AS 150.

The engine will also be the AS 150’s twin spark, air-cooled single cylinder unit, which is more powerful and efficient than the existing Pulsar 150’s and is good for 17PS power at 9500rpm and maximum torque of 13Nm at 7500rpm.

The new Pulsar 150 NS is likely to be priced around Rs 73,000 and will compete against the likes of the Suzuki Gixxer, Yamaha FZ-S FI V2.0 and the Honda CB Unicorn 160.
