-Gets visual updates
-New all-digital cluster with Bluetooth connectivity
-Remains mechanically unchanged
The Bajaj Pulsar 150 has been around for years but the demand for it remains. It isn’t surprising then that Bajaj has decided to update the bike for 2024, after recently upgrading the newer Pulsars, the most recent being the Pulsar N250.
The updates to the 2024 Pulsar 150 includes new graphics on the headlight cowl, fuel tank and its extensions, and the tail sections. The side panel gets a neat-looking carbon fibre sticker as well. These graphics manage to liven up the appearance of the Pulsar 150.
That said, Bajaj hasn’t changed the body panels of the bike for years. Some may argue that the bike still looks good but some may find it to have grown a bit too old for today’s times. Nevertheless, there are takers for this design even today and that’s why it continues to soldier on.
What will also help it do so is the new digital instrument cluster in keeping with the times. It is the same, reverse LCD unit that you see on the Pulsar N160, that has a bar type tachometer, speedo, gear position indicator and other tell tale lights. It features Bluetooth connectivity as well but there’s no turn-by-turn navigation. Another addition to the feature list is a USB charging port.
Mechanically, the bike will remain unchanged in 2024. It is powered by a 149.5cc, air-cooled, single-cylinder engine that makes 13.8bhp at 8,500rpm and 13.25Nm at 6,500rpm. It is paired with a five-speed gearbox. The bike rides on 17-inch wheels shod with tubeless tyres. The variant seen here is the one with a disc brake at either end. There is another variant with a drum brake at the rear. It isn’t clear if this lower variant gets the full-digital display or not.
The 2024 Bajaj Pulsar 150 is expected to go on sale soon.
