Update | March 26, 2018: 2018 Bajaj Pulsar 150 will carry an on-road price tag of INR 91,147 in Mumbai. The recent report even claims that bookings have officially started for this updated model with rear disc brake, split seat, better front forks, bigger disc and better tyres. This equates to around INR 2300 worth rise for all these updates in comparison to the price of single disc model of Pulsar 150.
Original Article | March 22, 2018: 2018 Bajaj Pulsar 150 has been leaked before its official debut in India. The motorcycle will use the same basic design language and thus, one can expect changes to be in terms of equipment only. As Bajaj Auto has already updated the engine when BS4 norms were applied, the power source will remain exactly the same.
Visual changes include a new dual tone shade while equipment updates include a rear disc brake, wide tyres for Pulsar 180 and split seat for improved looks. Majority parts stay black and thus, the motorcycle now looks exactly the same as existing Pulsar 180.
Pulsar 150 is powered by a 149cc, single cylinder engine producing 13.8 BHP at 8000 rpm and 13.4 Nm at 6000 rpm. The engine comes mated to a 6-speed gearbox. The motorcycle weighs 144 kg with current specification and using bigger tyre and disc brake would definitely affect the overall weight of Pulsar 150.
The fuel tank will continue carrying 15 liters of fuel. It seems like Bajaj Auto is planning to phase out Pulsar 180 as same sort of feel came from TVS when they launched RTR 160 4V. Market for these odd engine sizes is shrinking day by day as people prefer 160cc options over 180. The rear drum model is priced at INR 73,626 (Ex-showroom Delhi) and we expect a price hike of around INR 3000 for the 2018 model with a rear disc brake.
