Bajaj Pulsar 150 Twin Disc

Expert Review by Maxabout

Bajaj Pulsar 150 Twin Disc was launched in order to tackle growing demand of premium 150c commuter bikes in India. As most buyers are considering more power these days, many among them prefer getting more safety and premium list of components with their product. Pulsar 150 was an affordable 150cc option but lack of better equipment forced Bajaj Auto to consider upgrading their highest selling Pulsar with a rear disc. More than just adding a disc, they made several other mouth watering additions to make buyers happy in terms of value of money buying experience.

Pulsar 150 Twin Disc is powered by a 149.5cc, single cylinder engine producing 14 PS at 8000 rpm and 13.4 Nm at 6000 rpm. The engine comes mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox while overall weight tips the scale at 144 kg. Measuring 2035 mm in length, 765 mm in width and 1115 mm in height makes Pulsar 150 quite muscular in front of regular 150cc commuter bikes. It comes with 1345 mm of wheelbase and India friendly 165 mm ground clearance. The front fascia remains exactly similar with halogen headlight and similar pilot lamps. Fuel tank used here carries 15 liter capacity.

Apart from the rear 230mm disc brake, Pulsar 150 Twin Disc gets bigger 260mm front disc, 90/90-17 front tyre and much wider 120/80-17 tyre for the rear wheel. Even the suspension components are being shared with bigger Pulsar 180. They offered new shade options for this model while most other features remain exactly the same as other Pulsar DTS-i models. Bajaj currently offers the Pulsar range in 135, 150, 160, 180, 200 and 220cc engine options. The range falls between INR 64,000 to INR 1.37 lakh. No single model from their lineup comes with dual channel ABS.
