The 150NS will be the fourth new Pulsar to launch in recent times. The other three all-new Pulsar models that have been launched in the current calendar year are – Pulsar RS200, Pulsar AS200 and Pulsar AS150. The Pulsar 150NS is almost a Pulsar AS150 sans front-fairing. However, the 150cc segment has always been among the most lucrative market categories. Hence, the advent of the Pulsar 150NS is likely to benefit its manufacturer by a huge margin. A 150cc Bajaj Pulsar that looks like the 200NS and yet has fuel mileage and price of a 150cc motorcycle- that’s the Pulsar 150 NS for you.

Bajaj Pulsar 150NS Dimensions and Measurements

The 150NS is dimensionally similar to the 150AS. The bike is built on a new platform, which means the wheelbase, the overall length, everything’s different from the old P150.

Bajaj Pulsar 150NS Design and Styling

The new 2015 Pulsar 150 NS looks pretty aggressive and bold. The 150NS has large cowls on the fuel tank which give it the sporty and masculine styling. The engine is black-painted. Combined with black alloy wheels, it gives 150NS the rugged styling that Pulsars are popular for. The front gets dual hydraulic telescopic suspension while the rear gets a mono-shock suspension for superior handling. The split seats have a large seating area for comfortable ride. The grab handles behind the pillion seat are horn shaped taking the masculine design bit more further. There are sharp rear and front turn indicators finished in sharp and clear styling. The rear mud-guard extents much behind the tail lamp and houses a reflector and license plate. The tail lamps are familiar split lamps that we see on new generation Pulsars.

The fuel lid also seems inspired by the Pulsar 200 NS with a similar Aluminum finish aircraft-type lid. The instrument cluster again reminds you of the 200 NS. The instrument panel sports a large analogue tachometer, a digital speedometer with fuel and temperature gauge. It also houses some warning lamps and trip meters, odo-meters build it. The handle bar is also sporty and has clip on-style handle bars. The drive chain is covered only from top. This gives it a more stylish visual appeal. The Aluminum-finished side foot-pegs and levers have a premium and sporty look.
