New Bajaj Pulsar 150: Price and variants explained

The all-new Bajaj Pulsar 150 arrives on a completely new platform with a revised engine, a new single-cradle frame, monoshock rear suspension and a host of new features. It is offered in three variants, all of which share the same mechanical package but differ in features and some hardware. Here's a breakdown of what each variant has to offer.

Pulsar 150 variant breakdown

Pulsar 150 SD Single Seat

All three variants get the same 149.5cc, single-cylinder engine that produces peak output figures of 14hp at 8,000rpm and 14.1Nm of torque at 6,500rpm. 

The base SD Single Seat variant gets a 5-inch colour LCD display with Bluetooth and turn-by-turn navigation. Braking comes from a 260mm front disc and a 130mm rear drum, and it's the only variant of the three to miss out on ISG, a belly pan and hazard lights. It does, however, get the same ride modes and crawl mode as the other two. It's priced at Rs 1.15 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).

Pulsar 150 TD Single Seat

Stepping up to the TD Single Seat swaps in a 5-inch TFT display with Bluetooth, along with an Integrated Starter Generator (ISG) that enables a stop-start system and silent restarts. It also gains a 230mm rear disc brake in place of the drum, a belly pan and hazard lights. It's priced at Rs 1.22 lakh.

Pulsar 150 TD Split Seat

The range-topping TD Split Seat carries over the TD Single Seat's ISG, disc brakes, belly pan and hazard lights, but steps up to a 5-inch TFT display with Wi-Fi support that enables Google Maps mirroring – also seen on the Pulsar N160 SS. It's the only variant of the three with a split-seat design and is priced at Rs 1.23 lakh.
