The Bajaj Pulsar 125 2025 is like that cheeky younger sibling in the Pulsar family—light, quick, and always ready to zip through traffic with a grin. First launched in 2021, it continues to dominate in 2025, now with a new Neon edition, Bluetooth dash, and ABS updates. It’s Bajaj’s way of keeping the iconic Pulsar DNA alive for first-time buyers and budget-conscious riders who still crave that sporty edge.
With a price range of ₹79,048 to ₹87,527 (ex-showroom), the Pulsar 125 undercuts rivals like the Honda Shine 125 and TVS Raider, offering style, reliability, and everyday practicality without burning a hole in your wallet. Add in a claimed 51.46 kmpl mileage and a proven 124.4cc DTS-i motor, and you’ve got one of India’s most balanced commuters—affordable, efficient, and just plain fun.
Sporty Yet Familiar Design
The 2025 Pulsar 125 stays true to its sporty roots while adding modern touches. It’s compact at 1,995 mm long and 710 mm wide, and with 165 mm ground clearance and a kerb weight of 140 kg, it’s perfectly suited for city streets.
The wolf-eye headlamp, bold tank graphics, and split-seat design give it that signature Pulsar aggression. Available in colors like Ebony Black Blue and Cocktail Wine Red, it stands out just enough without screaming for attention. The 17-inch alloy wheels wrapped in grippy tubeless tires (80/100 front, 100/90 rear) add both style and stability.
Sure, the design may not be a revolution, but it’s a familiar and confidence-inspiring look that Indian riders have loved for years—a mix of retro charm and sporty street flair.
Digital Tech for Modern Riders
Inside the cockpit, Bajaj has smartly upgraded the Pulsar’s tech for 2025. The semi-digital LCD console displays speed, fuel, gear position, and Bluetooth alerts for calls and SMS via the Bajaj Ride Connect app. Higher trims add mileage readouts, service reminders, and even a USB charging port for convenience.
The riding position strikes a balance between comfort and control—upright handlebars, mid-set footpegs, and a long, cushioned seat make it ideal for both solo and pillion rides. The simplicity of the layout means there’s no screen clutter, just pure commuter focus with a sporty edge.
Performance
At the heart of the Pulsar 125 lies the same trusted 124.4cc DTS-i single-cylinder engine, churning out 11.64 bhp at 8,500 rpm and 10.8 Nm at 6,500 rpm. Mated to a 5-speed gearbox (with an H-Gear), the bike accelerates smoothly and comfortably hits 100 km/h, with a 0–100 sprint in around 15 seconds.
With an ARAI-certified 51.46 kmpl, real-world mileage sits between 45–50 kmpl, giving a solid 500–550 km range from its 11.5L fuel tank. The telescopic front forks and twin shock absorbers ensure a smooth ride on uneven roads, while refined NVH levels make it easy on long commutes.
Safety and Stability
The 2025 Pulsar 125 comes equipped with single-channel ABS on the front disc (240 mm) and a rear drum (130 mm), ensuring controlled braking even in rain. The LED tail lamp, engine kill switch, and side-stand cut-off add an extra layer of safety.
Its perimeter frame ensures solid cornering grip and high-speed stability—a rare feature in this segment.
Price, Offers & Ownership Value
The Drum variant starts at ₹79,048, while the top Disc ABS model tops out at ₹87,527. On-road prices range between ₹90,000 to ₹1 lakh in Delhi, with festive offers like ₹4,000–₹7,000 cashback, EMIs from ₹1,388/month, and free helmets.
Maintenance remains wallet-friendly at ₹2,000–₹3,000/year, backed by a 5-year/unlimited km warranty. With resale holding up to 75% in two years, the Pulsar 125 continues to be a safe, smart bet for budget buyers.
The Bajaj Pulsar 125 2025 proves that fun and affordability can go hand in hand. It’s light, efficient, and nimble—perfect for India’s traffic-packed cities and tight lanes. While its styling may feel a touch dated, its reliability, mileage, and easy rideability make it one of the most sensible commuter choices in its class.
If you’re a student, first-time buyer, or daily office commuter craving that Pulsar DNA without the premium tag, this one’s for you. The baby Pulsar is still the biggest bang-for-buck streetfighter in town.
