Next-Gen Bajaj Pulsar Confirmed for August 12 Launch, Model Spotted At Dealership

Updated August 4, 2026
Bajaj has confirmed the launch of a new Pulsar on August 12, as part of the brand's 25th anniversary celebrations. Up to 10 new Pulsar models across the 125cc-160cc range are planned over the coming months.
The Pulsar 150 is the most anticipated debut, though a next-gen Pulsar 160 or Pulsar 125 cannot be ruled out.
Update: The new Pulsar was recently spotted at a dealership. As expected, it gets a new instrument cluster and refreshed graphics. Based on the images circulating online, it appears to be the 125cc model, with red and black decals featuring bulb-type turn indicators and what looks like an LED-style headlamp setup.
What To Expect
The next-gen model is expected to be a ground-up new motorcycle, not merely a facelift. It should get a new chassis, updated engine, revised suspension and modern features like a digital console and LED lighting.
Spy shots have revealed a muscular fuel tank and bikini fairing that nod to the original Pulsar's silhouette. The test mule also appears to use a single downtube frame and rear monoshock, ditching the ageing double-cradle and twin-shock setup.
The Pulsar 150 is the only model in the entire lineup that has gone without a meaningful update for years, making this launch long overdue.

Price And Rivals
Prices are expected to start around Rs 1.05-1.15 lakh (ex-showroom), a modest step up from the current model.
At this price, it will compete against the TVS Apache RTR 160 4V, Hero Xtreme 160R, Honda Unicorn and Yamaha FZ-S Fi.
