Bajaj Pulsar N150 — Overview

The Bajaj Pulsar N150 is a 149.68cc streetfighter priced from Rs 1,21,950, delivering 14.5 PS and 48 kmpl ARAI mileage - N-series design applied to 150cc, discontinued in July 2025.

The Bajaj Pulsar N150 is the entry point to the Pulsar N-series - a naked streetfighter launched in January 2023 that brings the sharp N-series design language to the 150cc segment. It pairs a 149.5cc air-cooled DTS-i fuel-injected engine producing 14.5 PS with a 14-litre fuel tank, disc brakes, and a three-variant lineup spanning Rs 1,09,000 to Rs 1,16,000 ex-showroom. The N150 was designed to modernise the Pulsar nameplate at 150cc - its twin-pod LED headlamp, split tail section, and muscular tank profile look fresher than any air-cooled 150cc rival in this price band. For buyers who were waiting for a more contemporary Pulsar at 150cc, the N150 is the answer.

What We Like

  • Sharpest design in the 150cc naked segment under Rs 1,20,000 - the N-series twin-pod LED headlamp and split tail section are genuinely current-generation styling, not a refresh of a decade-old silhouette
  • 14-litre fuel tank - same capacity as the N160; at real-world ~55-58 kmpl, range per fill is approximately 770-810 km, one of the highest range figures in the 150cc segment
  • 14.5 PS is the highest output in the air-cooled 150cc class - marginally above the older Pulsar 150 (14 PS) and ahead of the Yamaha FZ-S V3 (13.2 PS)
  • 300mm front disc with dual-channel ABS on the top variant provides independent wheel braking management - significant safety upgrade over single-channel systems at similar prices

What Could Be Better

  • Air-cooled engine heat in city traffic - the 149.5cc single-cylinder runs warm at traffic signals; leg and ankle heat exposure in summer is the most cited owner complaint, and a gap the N160 (oil-cooled) does not have
  • 815 mm seat height is among the tallest in the 150cc naked class - the Yamaha FZ-S V3 is 25 mm lower at 790 mm; meaningful for riders under 5'5" who need to flat-foot at stops
  • Dual-channel ABS only on the top variant at Rs 1,16,000 - base and mid variants have single-channel ABS; buyers wanting the full safety package must choose the highest-priced variant

Editor's Verdict

Should You Buy the Bajaj Pulsar N150?

The Bajaj Pulsar N150 is the best-looking 150cc naked under Rs 1,20,000 and has the largest fuel tank in its class. At Rs 1,09,000 for the base variant, it is well-positioned against the Yamaha FZ-S V3 and the older Pulsar 150. If design modernity and fuel range are priorities, the N150 is the clear choice at this price. Buyers who want a lower seat height should look at the FZ-S V3. Buyers who can stretch Rs 7,000-10,000 more should look seriously at the N160, which adds oil-cooling, more power, and a cooler-running engine for daily city use.

Frequently Asked Questions

QIs the Bajaj Pulsar N150 worth buying in 2026?
Yes - particularly for buyers who want modern N-series styling, a large 14-litre tank, and 14.5 PS at under Rs 1,20,000. The N150 is a meaningful upgrade over the older Pulsar 150 in design and fuel range. Buyers who want oil-cooling, a lower seat, or more power should consider the N160 or Yamaha FZ-S V3 instead.
QWhat is the mileage of Bajaj Pulsar N150?
The Bajaj Pulsar N150 has an ARAI-certified mileage of 63.93 kmpl. Real-world mixed riding returns approximately 54-58 kmpl. On steady highway runs at 80-90 kmph, owners report toward the higher end. With the 14-litre tank, real-world range per fill is approximately 755-810 km.
QWhat is the difference between Bajaj Pulsar N150 and Pulsar 150?
The N150 uses the same 149.5cc displacement but has a completely new N-series design (twin-pod LED headlamp, modern fairing-free naked styling), a larger 14-litre tank (vs 15L on Pulsar 150), disc brakes on both wheels, and slightly higher 14.5 PS output. The Pulsar 150 has a larger fuel tank (15L) but older styling. The N150 is the more modern, better-equipped successor.
QDoes Bajaj Pulsar N150 have dual-channel ABS?
Yes, on the top variant (Rs 1,16,000). The base and mid variants have single-channel ABS (front disc only). Buyers wanting dual-channel ABS - which independently controls both wheels during emergency braking - must choose the Rs 1,16,000 variant.
QWhat is the on-road price of Bajaj Pulsar N150 in Delhi?
The Bajaj Pulsar N150 base variant ex-showroom price in Delhi is approximately Rs 1,09,000. On-road price in Delhi - adding RTO (~8-10%), third-party insurance (~Rs 7,000-8,500), and dealer charges (~Rs 3,500) - is approximately Rs 1,24,000-1,30,000.
QBajaj Pulsar N150 vs Yamaha FZ-S FI V3 - which is better?
The N150 wins on design modernity, fuel tank (14L vs 12L), and power (14.5 PS vs 13.2 PS). The FZ-S V3 wins on seat height (790mm vs 815mm - significantly more accessible for shorter riders), engine smoothness (oil-cooled vs air-cooled), and reduced heat in city traffic. For taller riders who value range and styling: N150. For shorter riders and city-first commuters: FZ-S V3.
QBajaj Pulsar N150 vs N160 - which is better value?
The N160 starts at approximately Rs 1,16,500 - about Rs 7,500 more than the N150 base. For that premium, you get oil-cooling (cooler in city traffic, less vibration), 16 PS (vs 14.5 PS), and a slightly higher-spec platform. For daily city commuters, the oil-cooling advantage is real and justifies the premium. The N150 is the better buy only if the budget is firm at under Rs 1,15,000.
QWhat is the EMI for Bajaj Pulsar N150?
For the N150 base variant with an on-road price of approximately Rs 1,26,000 in Delhi, EMI on a 36-month loan (after 20% down payment of Rs 25,200) starts from approximately Rs 3,000-3,400 per month depending on the lender. Check with your Bajaj dealer for current finance offers.
