New Bajaj Pulsar Set to Debut on August 12: Which Model Is the Company Preparing to Launch?

Bajaj Auto has officially confirmed that it will unveil a new Pulsar motorcycle in India on August 12, 2026. While the company has kept the identity of the upcoming bike under wraps, industry speculation suggests it could be the new Pulsar N160, an updated Pulsar 125, or even the next-generation Pulsar 150.

The launch is part of Bajaj Auto's broader product strategy, with the company planning to introduce 10 new motorcycles over the coming weeks across multiple engine segments.

A refreshed Pulsar lineup is on the way

During its first-quarter FY2027 financial announcement, Bajaj Auto revealed its roadmap to expand the Pulsar range with new offerings in the 125cc and 150cc categories. The teaser released by the company hints at one of these upcoming models, although no official details have been disclosed yet.

With growing competition in the commuter and sporty commuter motorcycle segments, Bajaj is expected to focus on updated styling and modern features.

Expected design and feature upgrades

Recent spy shots of a new-generation Pulsar suggest that the upcoming motorcycle could receive several cosmetic improvements, including:

  • Redesigned body panels

  • Larger fuel tank

  • Bigger front cowl

  • Extended tank shrouds

  • Longer and more comfortable seat

  • Stylish alloy wheels

  • Side-mounted exhaust

If the launch includes the new Pulsar 125 or Pulsar 150, buyers can also expect a significant technology upgrade.

Likely technology additions

The next-generation Pulsar models are expected to feature a fully digital instrument cluster with connected features such as:

  • Bluetooth smartphone connectivity

  • Incoming call and message alerts

  • Turn-by-turn navigation

  • Improved ride information display

These additions would bring the commuter-focused Pulsar models closer to the feature list offered by newer rivals.

Engine options likely to remain unchanged

While the design and technology may receive updates, the engine specifications are expected to remain the same.

Bajaj Pulsar 125

  • 124.38cc single-cylinder, air-cooled, fuel-injected engine

  • Maximum power: 11.8 PS

  • Peak torque: 10.8 Nm

  • 5-speed gearbox

Bajaj Pulsar 150

  • 149.5cc single-cylinder, air-cooled engine

  • Maximum power: 14 PS

  • Peak torque: 13.4 Nm

  • 5-speed constant mesh gearbox

Both motorcycles are expected to continue using electronic fuel injection for improved efficiency and performance.

What to expect on August 12

Although Bajaj Auto has not officially confirmed which Pulsar will be unveiled, the upcoming launch is expected to introduce a refreshed model with updated styling, modern connectivity features, and the proven engine setup that has made the Pulsar range one of India's most popular motorcycle lineups.

All official specifications, pricing, and variant details will be revealed when the motorcycle makes its debut on August 12, 2026.
