More Affordable Bajaj Pulsar ‘Classic’ 150 Launched

Two months after the launch of the 2018 Bajaj Pulsar 150 rear disc variant, the Chakan-based company has now introduced a stripped down version of the motorcycle called the 'Classic' edition. Priced at Rs 67,437 (ex-showroom, Pune), it is Rs 6,637 cheaper than the rear drum brake variant.

The Classic edition ditches the tank extensions and body graphics for a more subdued look. The motorcycle opts for a black paint scheme with blacked out elements. Apart from that, the bike remains unchanged.

Powering the Pulsar Classic 150 is the same 149cc, air-cooled, single-cylinder BSIV-compliant engine seen on the rear disc variant. This motor churns out 14PS of power at 8000rpm and 13.4Nm of torque at 6000rpm. Suspension duties are handled by telescopic forks at the front and a twin gas-charged suspension at the rear. Braking is taken care of by a 240mm front disc and 130mm rear drum brake.

The more affordable variant should help Bajaj gain a stronger foothold in the entry-level commuter segment. It goes up against the Honda Unicorn 150, the Hero Xtreme Sports and the Hero Achiever.
