Bajaj Auto is ready to shake up the 125cc motorcycle segment once again with the upcoming 2026 edition of the Pulsar NS125. Packed with smarter technology, a refined design language, and a stronger street presence, the new model aims to capture the attention of young riders and city commuters looking for power and style in one compact package.
Striking New Design and Colors
The redesigned Pulsar NS125 showcases a more muscular and edgy stance that complements its streetfighter character. The addition of a new Pearl Metallic White shade accented by pink highlights gives it a striking look, while dual-tone fuel tank graphics and enhanced body panels add to its premium styling. Bajaj has also upgraded the bike’s tire setup with a 90-section front and a 120-section rear, improving road grip and stability during high-speed rides or cornering maneuvers.
Advanced Three-Mode ABS System
One of the most significant upgrades comes in the form of a new three-level ABS system featuring Rain, Road, and Off-road modes. The Rain Mode enhances traction and braking safety in slippery conditions, the Road Mode offers the ideal balance for daily use, while the Off-road Mode minimizes ABS interference for better control on uneven terrain.
Next-Generation Digital Console
The 2026 Pulsar NS125 now includes a fully digital instrument cluster, offering features typically seen in larger displacement motorcycles. It supports turn-by-turn navigation, notifications for calls and messages, a gear position indicator, and a distance-to-empty meter. These additions make the bike both informative and rider-friendly, aligning with the needs of the connected generation.
Engine and Ride Dynamics
Beneath the aggressive new styling lies the familiar yet proven 124.45cc single-cylinder, air-cooled engine delivering 12 PS of power and 11 Nm of torque. It’s paired with a smooth 5-speed gearbox for an engaging ride experience. Bajaj continues with the telescopic front forks and rear monoshock setup to ensure comfort and stability. The braking setup features a 240mm front disc and a 130mm rear drum, offering reliable performance in city and highway conditions alike.

With its sporty visual appeal, advanced rider aids, and dependable Bajaj engineering, it is expected to stand out as a compelling choice for young riders seeking both practicality and excitement.
