Pulsar lineup overview
The Pulsar brand is currently split into three distinct lines: NS, N and Classic. While the NS and N models cater to buyers seeking sportier styling and newer technology, the Classic range remains focused on simplicity, durability and value. Despite its long-running design roots, this lineup continues to deliver strong sales, especially in commuter-focused markets.
Within the Classic family, Bajaj sells the Pulsar 220, Pulsar 150 and Pulsar 125. Of these, the Pulsar 150 recently received its first major visual update in over a decade, while the semi-faired Pulsar 220 remains unchanged for now. The Pulsar 125 is the latest to benefit from this refresh.

The turn indicators have also been upgraded to LED units, adding a more modern touch. At the rear, the familiar LED tail lamp continues unchanged, maintaining a long-standing Pulsar design element.

Design updates
Bajaj has introduced fresh graphics on the fuel tank, side panels and engine cowl. These changes sharpen the Pulsar 125’s look without altering its familiar shape.
With these updates, Bajaj aims to keep the Pulsar 125 relevant in the competitive 125cc commuter segment, while retaining the affordability and everyday usability that have made the Classic Pulsar range popular.
