Introduction: This is an upcoming bike of the series: Pulsar! The name is full of emotions, memories, and all. It is an offering from the Indian automobile giant BAJAJ. The 150cc Pulsar has created a reign of its own by the performance it offers to the users.

The Neon Pulsar will carry the soul of the 150cc and come with new bits of styling and technology. It has its league, so to say, and BAJAJ claims this series as “India’s No.1 Sports Bike.”

History: The launch date of this BAJAJ Pulsar 150 Neon in Bangladesh is not available yet, but it has been selling in India for quite some time now.

BAJAJ Pulsar was launched back in 2001 to meet the demands of the new age “millennial” bikers. Since its inception, it has been a range that gives the riders a complete package of performance and reliability. Different upgrades, either mechanical and cosmetic, have been made to this lineup of BAJAJ bikes to stay up to the ever-expanding demands of the market.

Bajaj launched the 2017 edition pulsar in Bangladesh back in the first quarter of 2017, and Bajaj also launched the twin disc version recently. It has seen some engine upgrades and some cosmetic ones to differentiate it from the other models that are thriving in the streets to date. You will easily distinguish it as a Pulsar and still know it is the new one from its styling bits.

Features: Key features of BAJAJ Pulsar 150 Neon Classic are described in a nutshell below.

It will now have a standard AHO (Automatic Headlight On) system, new graphics bits like the bright neon colors. It features the trusted engine with a DTS-i twin spark ignition system and a new, more comprehensive, and throaty exhaust muffler. The design will be very similar to the existing models. Hence it can be polarizing to some.

BAJAJ has gone the “Let’s do basics” route while developing this version… It shows in the design because they have eliminated the tank shroud in this classic model that perfectly reminds the early Pulsars

The color options of this bike are all beautiful. The colors of this bike in Bangladesh are:

• Neon Red
• Neon Silver
• Neon Lime Green

When Bajaj says Neon, they don’t mean the flashy and ugly eye-burning Neon. They represent the class touches of Neon that will make you stand out in the middle of hundred bikes. 

Remember that the first two color variants come with a glossy black base, and the Neon Lime Green comes with a matte grey base color. The distinct slashed taillight is also a charm to look at and helps instantly recognize a Pulsar even in the night from a distance.

Body Dimensions: The all-new BAJAJ Pulsar 150 Neon is a perfect-performing motorcycle because of the older engine. The wheelbase is 1320mm on which the 144kg bike stands. The bike is thought to be balanced very well. The bike has a 15 liters fuel tank which feeds the engine through the injection ports.

The overall length of BAJAJ Pulsar 150 Neon Classic is 2055mm, while the width and height are 755mm and 1060mm. The ground clearance is 165mm.

Engine & Transmission: BAJAJ Pulsar 150 Neon Classic possesses a 149cc, 4-Stroke, single-cylinder, 2-valve, Twin spark DTS-i engine. This engine’s Power & Torque figures are as follows: 14 PS @8000 RPM & 13.4Nm @ 6000 RPM.

This machine is paired with a 5-speed Transmission. The 5-speed transmission allows for comfortable acceleration and smooth cruising capabilities. 

Suspension, Brakes, Wheels: The suspension system has a dual telescopic system upfront with an anti-friction bush and a set of 5-way adjustable Nitrox shock absorbers at the rear. The suspensions of the Bajaj Pulsar series have always been the top of its class. It is also expected to be the same for the Bajaj Pulsar 150 Neon. The adjustability will also allow the riders to adjust it to their preference.

The front brake is a 240 mm Disc paired to the 6-spoke wheel with 80/100-17 tire. The rear brake is a 130mm Drum attached to the 6-spoke wheel wrapped in a 100/90-17 tire. Both the wheels have a tubeless tire for better performance and to avoid sudden deflation. The rear tire would have been much better if it were a 120 section tire, and the front would have been a 90 or 100 section tire. 

Best For: The BAJAJ Pulsar 150 Neon Classic is targeted at the country’s youth, yet it is very much usable by the older generation too. City riding is the priority of this bike motorcycle. College and university students and young job holders are the main customers of this motorcycle. Many middle-aged users also use this bike daily for their need of commuting and inter-city riding.

The motorcycle is also supposed to be good at highway speeds too, and it quickly will allow the user to do inter-city commutes thanks to its comfortable seating arrangement for both the rider and the pillion. So, you can do long rides with friends and family.
