Soon after the specifications of the upcoming Bajaj Pulsar 150NS was leaked prior to its official launch (story link) a new 150cc bike has been caught testing on the outskirts of Pune. The bike in question is the Pulsar 150AS (Adventure Sport) similar to the Pulsar 200AS that was showcased at Indonesia recently. This means that the next generation Pulsar 150cc offering will be offered in two variants. The Bajaj Pulsar 150AS isn’t an entirely new motorcycle and is based on the Pulsar 150NS. The Bajaj Pulsar 150AS sports a quarter fairing but isn’t clear whether it would feature a projector lamp similar to the Pulsar 200AS.
No changes are expected on the mechanical front as the Bajaj Pulsar 150AS will be powered by the same powerplant as seen on the streetbike offering. Powering the bike will be a 149.5cc, single-cylinder motor producing 17PS at 9,000rpm and peak torque of 13Nm at 7,500rpm. The powerplant will be mated to a 5-speed gearbox and the engine will be equipped with 4-valves. The Bajaj Pulsar 150AS will get electric start and kick start as cranking options. Switch gear and the part-analogue-part-digital instrument console have been carried forward from its 200cc sibling. The Bajaj Pulsar 150AS employs telescopic forks at front and a monoshock setup at the back. Braking is done by a disc brake at front and drum brake at rear. We feel Bajaj could offer rear disc brake as an optional extra like in the case of the Honda CB Trigger.
Bajaj is renowned for their cut-throat pricing so we can expect the new Pulsar 150AS to carry a sticker price of around Rs 77,000. The Bajaj Pulsar 150AS will rival the Yamaha Fazer FI and the upcoming faired version of the Suzuki Gixxer in the Indian two-wheeler market. Recently Rajiv Bajaj had said that Bajaj Auto will be launching six new motorcycles in the coming few months. Out of which the Bajaj Platina ES has been launched while the rest of the motorcycles might consist of the Bajaj Pulsar 200SS, Pulsar 200AS, Pulsar 150NS, Pulsar 150AS and the facelifted Avenger.
