How does the Pulsar P150 Double Disc hold up when compared to the other saws that are within its price range?

Nah, it's lost the charm. The Pulsars were raw and exciting when they were original. This is too refined, too sanitized. A good bike, no true Pulsar.

I believe it does a nice job of striking a balance. There’s more comfort and more features than in the older Pulsars, but that zippy feeling we all crave is still there.

While the double disc is a gimmick, the bike itself is rock solid. Not groundbreaking like the original, but is it required to be? Times have changed.

The P150 captures the essence well, as someone who has owned multiple Pulsars. Just like the original, it’s still a head turner with decent performance.

Affordable performance is the legacy, and the P150 has it. It’s not as revolutionary, but it’s a natural playing field.

The old Pulsar sound is missed. The P150 is too refined, too quiet. The Pulsar no longer has that signature growl that used to make heads turn.
Is the Pulsar P150 Double Disc really worth the additional cash over the single disc variant?
31 January 2025 10:06
Absolutely worth it! The double disc set up though is not better at braking, it is more about having the confidence. Being able to know you have that extra stopping power will let you ride with more assertiveness. Plus, it looks sick!

No, 150cc bike is overkill. For city riding, the single disc is more than adequate. Don’t use that cash to buy your accessories.

That will depend on your riding style. For those who are aggressive type and like to push the bike to its maximum, go for double disc. The single disc is ok for casual commuters.

To me, I think it is worth it just for the safety’s sake. Something you never know when you are going to need extra power to brake from stopping, if you needed to in an emergency.

I suppose it’s more of a gimmick for marketing but honestly, I don’t think there’s anything decent about it. The weight difference between the variants is insignificant, as is the braking performance improvement, and it is not worth the cost.

The extra disc is needlessly complex. The more parts, the more chances of issues with it in the future. The single disc should be kept simple.
How much better is the Pulsar P150’s engine refinement compared to the older Pulsar models?
30 January 2025 10:35
I have extensively ridden the old and new Pulsars and I can definitely say the P150's engine is a big step up in refinement. At high speeds, the vibrations are noticeably reduced. Although it's lost a little bit of that raw Pulsar feel, the smoother ride is worth it when it comes to commuting daily.

30 January 2025 10:35
I think the refinement is not that significant. Yeah, it definitely is a bit smoother, but it's also lost some of that punchy acceleration that made Pulsars exciting to drive. Sanitizing the riding experience is fine but I’d rather have a little bit of vibration and a little bit more character.

There’s refinement, but it’s not class leading. The Honda Unicorn bikes still do feel smoother. Of course, it’s a good compromise for a Pulsar – refined enough for comfort, but still with the sporty flavor.

The engine, I believe Bajaj has done a great job with. Smooth when you want it to be, but still Pulsar grunt when it is open. What they've done is mature the bike without fully changing its personality.

I can say as a mechanic that the improvements in refinement are more than skin deep. It should mean better longevity as the engine internals and balancing are much better. It's not only a matter of ride feel but also a matter of keeping the engine healthy at the end of the day.

I don’t think the refinement is worth it. A little smoother, it is also less exciting. The old Pulsar was a raw thing, and you felt wired to the machine. Now this one is a tad too polished for my liking, I guess.

This refinement is just right, coming from other 150cc bikes. It's still characterful enough to be enjoyable, but smooth enough for comfortable daily rides. It’s a good middle ground that will suit both new riders and Pulsar loyalists.
Compare the Pulsar P150 with other 150cc bikes in this range.

I've test ridden most bikes in this segment and I believe the P150 fares pretty well. The performance and comfort are balanced well. The Honda Unicorn could be smoother and the Yamaha FZ handle better, but as a whole, the P150 comes across as a more complete package.
