Bajaj Pulsar 150 Neon So Bajaj just dropped this new Neon version of the Pulsar 150, right? At first glance, it’s like someone took the regular Pulsar and gave it an energy drink overdose. But is it just another pretty face, or does it bring something more to our boring commutes? Let’s talk.
That Neon Look – Love It or Hate It?
Man, this thing is BRIGHT. We’re talking in-your-face neon green accents that’ll make sure nobody misses you on the road. The black base keeps it from looking too circus-like, but still – this ain’t for wallflowers.
What’s new exactly?
- Those neon green stripes that scream “look at me!”
- Glossy black alloys (finally no cheap-looking silver!)
- LED DRLs that actually look modern
- Some fancy new stitching on the seat
But here’s the thing – it’s still a Pulsar 150 at heart. Same shape, same feel. Just… shinier.
Bajaj Pulsar 150 Neon Performance – Same Old Reliable Workhorse
Let’s be real – nobody’s buying a Pulsar 150 expecting rocket speeds. That trusty 150cc engine’s been around forever because it just works.
What you get:
• 14.5 horsepower (enough for city chaos)
• 13-something Nm torque (decent pickup)
• That classic Pulsar exhaust note we all know
• Mileage that won’t murder your wallet (60kmpl-ish)
It’s not gonna win drag races, but for zipping through traffic? Perfect. And let’s be honest – how often do you really go above 80 anyway?
Features – They Could’ve Done More…
Okay, here’s where I’m a bit disappointed. It’s 2024 and we’re still getting:
- A semi-digital console (come on Bajaj, full digital isn’t that expensive!)
- Single-channel ABS (better than nothing I guess)
- Basic halogen headlight (really? In a “premium” edition?)
But hey, at least we get:
✓ Tubeless tires (no more roadside puncture drama)
✓ Comfy upright riding position (your back will thank you)
✓ That sweet, sweet mileage
How It Stacks Up Against the Competition
Look, the 150cc segment is packed. Here’s how it compares:
Vs TVS Apache 160:
- Apache’s quicker but drinks more fuel
- Pulsar’s more comfortable for long rides
- Apache looks sportier, Pulsar’s more practical
Vs Honda Unicorn:
- Similar mileage
- Unicorn’s boring but bulletproof
- Pulsar’s way more fun to ride
Vs Old Pulsar 150:
- Same bike, just with makeup
- But hey, at least it’s different
Who’s This Bike Actually For?
If you’re:
• A college kid wanting something cool but sensible
• A daily commuter who cares about mileage
• Someone who wants reliability without looking boring
• Not expecting premium features on a budget
…this might be your match.
The Big Question – Should You Buy It?
Here’s my take:
✔ If you want a Pulsar but hate the old boring colors – go for it
✔ If you need a no-nonsense daily rider – solid choice
✖ If you’re expecting major upgrades – look elsewhere
✖ If you already have a Pulsar – not worth switching
At around ₹1.15 lakh (probably), it’s priced okay. Not a steal, not a rip-off. Just… fine.
Final Verdict
Bajaj didn’t reinvent the wheel here. They took a proven formula, made it flashier, and called it a day. Is that bad? Not really. The Pulsar 150’s always been about being practical with a bit of attitude, and the Neon Edition doubles down on that.
Would I buy it? If I was in the market for a 150cc bike and wanted something that stands out without being unreliable – yeah, maybe. But I’d wait to see what discounts come in a few months.
What about you? Love the neon look or think it’s too much? Hit me up in the comments!
