I follow motorcycle news closely, and I’m excited to tell you about the New-Gen Bajaj Pulsar updates that are rolling out now. Bajaj has already confirmed some changes, and there are solid reports about more upgrades coming to the Pulsar family. In this post I’ll walk you through what’s official, what’s reported, and what it means for riders like you and me.
Official confirmations: What Bajaj has announced
Bajaj has started to put its new‑gen Pulsar platform into production, and the company has made a few announcements we can trust. The clearest example is the updated Pulsar RS200, launched on 9 January 2025. Here are the key confirmed items from Bajaj’s press release and product pages:
- Integrated LED rear taillamp and revised rear section for a cleaner look.
- Bluetooth-enabled bonded-glass LCD that supports turn-by-turn navigation and call/SMS alerts.
- Dual-channel ABS for better braking safety.
- Wider tyres for improved grip and stability.
- Selectable ride modes to match road conditions and rider preference.
- Projector LED headlamp and assist + slipper clutch for smoother shifts.
Another official milestone was the re-engineered Pulsar P150, launched back on 22 November 2022. That model showed Bajaj’s plan to update the whole Pulsar lineup with modern styling, LED lighting, and digital consoles.
Reported and spotted upgrades: What the media and dealers say
Not every Pulsar update is officially out yet. I keep an eye on spy shots, dealer tips, and auto media. Here’s a breakdown of commonly reported items for models that are expected to get new‑gen updates soon:
- The RS200 refresh is also said to get a fully digital/TFT instrument cluster and new graphics and colourways. Multiple outlets covered this soon after the January launch.
- The larger NS400Z has been widely reported to receive performance boosts — around ~42 bhp in some dealer reports — plus a quickshifter, multiple riding modes, and a modern digital console. These are strong reports but not fully confirmed by Bajaj yet.
- Dealers have also spotted N/NS/RS/125/150 Pulsars fitted with Bluetooth clusters, revised switchgear, and model-specific suspension or brake updates. These appear to be staged rollouts across markets.
So, while some details are confirmed, others remain reported or spotted. I treat dealer and media tips as likely, but I wait for Bajaj’s press releases before treating them as official.
What these changes mean for riders
Let me break down the practical benefits you’ll feel if you buy one of the new‑gen Pulsars.
- Safety: Dual-channel ABS on many variants reduces stopping distance and gives more control in slippery conditions. For example, the RS200 now ships with dual-channel ABS as standard in its updated model.
- Rideability: Wider tyres and selectable ride modes make the bike more stable and adaptable. If you ride in the city and on highways, you’ll notice the difference quickly.
- Connectivity: A Bluetooth-enabled TFT or bonded-glass LCD gives turn-by-turn navigation, call and SMS alerts, and sometimes even live trip data. This is no longer a premium-only feature.
- Performance: For larger Pulsars like the NS400Z, reported power increases (around 42 bhp) and features such as quickshifter and slipper clutch aim to make them more competitive against rivals in the same class.
As a quick example, when Bajaj launched the RS200 update, media coverage listed an ex-showroom price around ₹1.84 lakh (Delhi). That positions the RS200 against other mid-weight sport commuters and shows Bajaj is serious about value and features.
Quick comparison: Confirmed vs reported features
Below is a simple table summarising confirmed features and commonly reported upgrades for key Pulsar models. This helps you see what’s sealed and what’s still a good rumour.
| Model | Confirmed (Bajaj) | Reported / Spotted |
|---|---|---|
| Pulsar RS200 (2025) | Integrated LED taillamp, Bluetooth bonded LCD, dual‑channel ABS, wider tyres, ride modes, projector headlamp, assist+slipper clutch (Launched 9 Jan 2025) | Fully digital/TFT cluster, new colourways (covered by media reports) |
| Pulsar P150 (2022) | Re-engineered platform, modern styling, LED lighting, USB charging (Launched 22 Nov 2022) | Incremental updates to styling and console across other P150 variants |
| Pulsar NS400Z | — (No official press release yet) | Higher power tune (~42 bhp), quickshifter, wider rear tyre, multiple modes (dealer/media reports) |
| NS200 / NS125 / 125 / 150 | Some variants already moved to the new‑gen platform (LEDs, digital options) | Spotter sightings: digital clusters, revised switchgear, single or dual‑channel ABS depending on variant |
How I’d approach buying a new‑gen Pulsar
If you’re thinking of buying, here are a few simple steps I recommend:
- Decide the category you want: commuter, sport-commuter, or performance. The NS400Z reports make it clear the bigger Pulsars will lean more performance-oriented.
- Check official Bajaj press pages or your local dealer for confirmed specs and final pricing. Media reports can be 90% accurate, but final details and warranty terms come from Bajaj.
- Test ride both older and new-gen models if possible. You’ll feel differences in engine response, suspension, and electronics right away.
- Watch for launch dates and booking windows. The RS200 update showed up on 9 January 2025 with pricing reports, so other models could follow in mid‑2025.

Final Thoughts
I’m encouraged by the direction Bajaj is taking with the New-Gen Bajaj Pulsar. The company is adding modern electronics, better safety, and performance updates across the line. The RS200 refresh (launched 9 January 2025) is a clear, confirmed step — it brought LED lighting, Bluetooth navigation, dual ABS, ride modes, and more. Other updates, like a more powerful NS400Z and wider rollouts of TFT clusters, look likely based on dealer reports and spy shots, but we should wait for official Bajaj releases for final specs and pricing.
If you want, I can pull the latest Bajaj press releases and dealer availability pages for a specific model (for example RS200 or NS400Z) and list exact specs and official prices. Which model would you like me to track?
