Bajaj launched Pulsar AS150 for Rs. 79K – Tackles Yamaha Fazer, Suzuki Gixxer, Hero Karizma ZMR and TVS Apache RTR

Bajaj Auto has launched the most awaited variants of Pulsar 150 series in the Indian market with a bang. The new edition has been dubbed into the domestic market as Pulsar 150 AS where AS stands for Adventure Sports. With exclusive design and fairings, the native Indian giant has priced the new Pulsar for Rs. 79000 only and the new breed is expected to be a threat for rival models of the segment.

Mr. Eric Vas, The President for Motorcycles Business, Bajaj Auto has stated in this connection “The Pulsar Adventure series will be a delight to the young bikers who want to fulfil their need of daily city riding, while at the same time desire to explore our vast and incredible outdoors over the weekends. These new generation bikers are a winning combination of easy handling in traffic and raw brutal power when one needs it. The AS200 and AS150 truly define our customer’s spirit that adventure never stops. We have always led on product initiatives and have continuously expanded the Pulsar range to cater to the various consumer preferences in the sports segment. The Adventure series will further expand and grow this segment by offering a product which matches up to the new age consumer’s lifestyle and riding requirements.”

Pulsar AS 150 comes powered with a 149.5 CC twin spark four valve air cooled DTSi engine that is capable of generating around 17 PS power at the peak along with 13 Nm of torque. The power output of the new Pulsar is much better than most of the other models of the segment. The bike offers disk brakes at the front as well as on the rear but there is no room for ABS in the new Pulsar too. The suspension needs are fulfilled by telescopic forks at the front and a mono shock at the rear. Bajaj is offering the new Pulsar AS 150 for a starting price of just Rs. 79000 only.
