Updated Bajaj Pulsar NS125 Spotted With New LCD Display and Fresh Colours Ahead of Launch
By 91Bikes Team
The Bajaj Pulsar NS125 is getting ready for another update, and this time the changes go beyond a new sticker job. The refreshed motorcycle has been spotted at a Bajaj dealership ahead of its official launch, revealing a new LCD instrument console, revised graphics and fresh colour combinations.
Bajaj hasn't officially announced the updated NS125 yet, which means its final price, complete variant line-up and equipment list are still under wraps. However, the dealership sighting gives us a fairly good idea of what buyers can expect.
The good news for existing NS125 fans is that Bajaj doesn't appear to be changing the motorcycle's familiar streetfighter formula. The muscular bodywork remains largely untouched, while the proven 124.45cc engine is expected to continue producing 12 PS and 11 Nm.
New LCD Console Is the Biggest Update
The most noticeable change on the updated Pulsar NS125 is its new LCD instrument console.
The revised display has a large digital speed readout along with a gear-position indicator and tachometer. Information such as the fuel level, clock, refuel warning and instantaneous fuel-economy readout can also be seen on the new console.
This brings the NS125's cockpit closer to Bajaj's recently updated Pulsar models and gives the motorcycle a much-needed technology refresh.
Fresh Colours and Revised Graphics
Bajaj is also preparing new visual options for the NS125. One of the motorcycles spotted at the dealership features a black-and-red colour combination.
The glossy black bodywork is contrasted by red graphics across the tank extensions, belly section and rear body panels. Red wheel accents further add to the sportier appearance.
Another motorcycle with bright yellow-green accents has also been spotted, suggesting that Bajaj could offer multiple refreshed colour schemes when the updated model officially goes on sale.
Familiar NS125 Design Continues
Despite the feature and colour updates, Bajaj hasn't made major changes to the motorcycle's basic design.
The familiar muscular fuel tank, angular tank extensions, split-seat arrangement, separate pillion grab rails and aggressive streetfighter proportions continue.
The overall silhouette therefore remains recognisably NS125, which isn't necessarily a bad thing considering the muscular design has always been one of the motorcycle's main attractions in the 125cc segment.
Multiple Pulsar NS125 Variants Could Be Offered
The motorcycle seen at the dealership appears to be a relatively basic version of the updated NS125.
Reports suggest Bajaj could follow a strategy similar to some of its recently updated Pulsar models by offering the NS125 in multiple equipment levels.
The entry version is expected to use the new LCD display, while a higher-specification variant could potentially receive a colour TFT instrument cluster and additional connected features.
However, Bajaj has not officially confirmed the TFT-equipped NS125 at this stage, so this should be treated as an expected addition rather than a confirmed specification.
What About ABS?
Interestingly, the motorcycle spotted at the dealership doesn't appear to have visible ABS sensor rings, suggesting it could represent a lower-specification non-ABS version.
A higher variant is expected to continue offering single-channel ABS, although the final variant structure will only become clear once Bajaj officially announces the updated motorcycle.
124.45cc Engine Expected to Remain Unchanged
Bajaj doesn't appear to be making major mechanical changes with this update.
The Pulsar NS125 is expected to continue using its 124.45cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine. In its current specification, the motor produces 12 PS at 8,500 rpm and 11 Nm at 7,000 rpm.
The engine is paired with a 5-speed gearbox.
| Engine | 124.45cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled |
| Maximum Power | 12 PS at 8,500 rpm |
| Peak Torque | 11 Nm at 7,000 rpm |
| Gearbox | 5-speed |
| Fuel Tank | 12 litres |
Suspension and Braking Hardware
The basic chassis hardware also appears familiar.
The updated NS125 continues with a conventional telescopic front fork and a monoshock at the rear. The motorcycle spotted at the dealership uses a front disc brake and rear drum brake.
Since Bajaj has yet to reveal the complete variant line-up, braking equipment could vary depending on the version selected.
Updated Pulsar NS125: What's New?
| Area | Update |
|---|---|
| Instrument Console | New LCD display |
| Colours | New colour combinations spotted |
| Graphics | Revised graphics |
| Engine | Expected to remain unchanged |
| Design | Overall bodywork largely unchanged |
| Higher Variant | TFT console expected, not yet confirmed |
Current Bajaj Pulsar NS125 Price
The current Pulsar NS125 is listed by Bajaj at a starting ex-showroom Delhi price of Rs 99,622.
This price should not be confused with the price of the upcoming updated motorcycle. Bajaj has not announced official pricing for the refreshed NS125 yet.
Considering the addition of the new instrument console and other equipment, a small price increase wouldn't be surprising, particularly if Bajaj introduces a more feature-rich TFT-equipped version.
When Will the Updated Pulsar NS125 Launch?
Bajaj hasn't provided an official launch date.
However, motorcycles reaching dealerships usually indicate that a market introduction isn't far away. The refreshed Pulsar NS125 could therefore be formally announced during the upcoming festive period.
Official pricing, variant details and the complete list of colour options should become clearer when Bajaj launches the motorcycle.
Why Is Bajaj Updating the NS125?
India's 125cc motorcycle market has become increasingly competitive, and buyers now expect considerably more equipment even from smaller-capacity motorcycles.
Digital displays, Bluetooth connectivity, LED lighting and navigation-related features are becoming increasingly common in this space.
The NS125 already has the advantage of muscular streetfighter styling and a relatively powerful 125cc engine. A more modern instrument console and refreshed colour palette should help Bajaj keep the motorcycle relevant without carrying out an expensive full redesign.
What We Think
The updated Pulsar NS125 appears to be an evolutionary update rather than a completely new motorcycle, and that approach makes sense.
Its fundamental design and 124.45cc engine remain competitive enough for the segment, while the instrument console was an obvious area where Bajaj could modernise the package.
The biggest unanswered question is the variant strategy. If Bajaj introduces a reasonably priced LCD version alongside a better-equipped TFT and ABS variant, buyers will have more flexibility to choose between affordability and features.
For now, though, only the dealership sighting is confirmed. Final prices, specifications and the complete variant line-up will have to wait for Bajaj's official announcement.
