In continuing with our earlier report, Bajaj Auto has launched the new sibling to the Pulsar family, the Pulsar 135LS today. And as we see it, Bajaj has come out with a huge seller. The bike is powered by a 135cc DTSi engine and as has become the trend with Bajaj, the bike boasts of some pretty good “Indias firsts”. The prime-most and the most impressive among them is the introduction of 4 valve technology because of which the smaller 135cc engine produces power which might silent some bigger 150ccs to death.
The peak power output of the bike is a striking 13.5ps @ 9k rpm and the peak torque of 11.4Nm is produced @ 7500 rpm. The weight of the bike has been kept bare minimum to give it an edge in the power to weight ratio which in turn would lead to better driveability. The bike would be available only in two ravishing colors, Wine Red and Midnight Black. Various other (typical Bajaj) features have been incorporated on this bike to make it a different package all together, contrary to the way we were perceiving the bike to dilute the brand Pulsar. The bike has been priced at an ex showroom (Delhi) price of 51k and as we have predicted earlier would fall close to 57k on road Pune. Keep visiting this space for more as we compile the “First Look” report of the bike.

This is a true winner. It has silenced the critics just from the first look. When it gets on the road, it will silence all its competitors.
Wow!!! Just checked the Bajaj website. Eagerly waiting for a review from bikeadvice. However I don’t like the Bikes rear much.
Finally launched… it looks different from the leaks.. price is also affordable. Overall bajaj has a winner here.
Looks like most of the people grossly underestimated Bajaj’s aggression.. when they said they are going to launch sub 150 cc pulsar.. But man, what a move.. kudos to Bajaj.. certainly.. DISTINCTLY AHEAD.
Undoubtedly it is a big technological leap by Bajaj introducing 4 valve technology, but it is still too early to comment on the success of the bike, it is to be seen that whether Bajaj has overcome the refinement issue or not.
The bike is a premium 135cc, Bajaj really is getting some awesome stuff here.
It looks like HUNK, but quality differs
i waiting for this kind of vehicle.. thank you bajaj.. please indly issue to all showrooms as soon as possible.i booked and waiting for pulsar135 dts.i i am from coimbatore. tamilnadu. i am very proud to buy a indian’s product. love you bajaj.
hi all there. will somebody tell me the truth. I am planning to buy 150cc bike or may be just launched Pulsar 135. The question is, i use to ask every mechanic and other people the answer is.. “donot buy bajaj bikes” ….they say after 2 or 3 years bajaj bikes develope some sort of complaints and looses refinement..so and so..compared to hero honda bikes where complaint is almost NIL. I am just confused as initially i was planning to buy Pulsar 150 or Pulsar 135. Pls give me the correct report.. ty..
@Sam
the Pulsars sill continue to outsell any othe r150 cc bike in India. The story has been same since 9 years. Even with new kids (other 150 cc bikes) in the market, the story hasn’t changed much over the years. People still buy the Pulsars in much larger numbers than other 150 cc bikes. If Bajaj bikes were really bad, then why would it have sold for such a long time? Indian customers aren’t fool to buy bad quality products.
@sam – It’s absoluletly right . bajaj bikes looses their refinement & power after 3-4 years . better go for apache rtr 160 or fz . take any 3-4 years old pulsar model and compare its engine sound to a new one . it will sound like a mixer grinder.
@sam – I own a splendor but still hate when someone calls HH bikes are great. Pls, what world are we in. The only good thing Mr. Munjal did in his lifetime was go sign an agreement with Honda. Bajaj and TVS are doing it without Kwak or Suzuki. Mr. Munjal cant do this even in his best dreams. Its basically honda. Hondas and Yamahas, we all know, are the best in the world. I would attribute HH’s dominance to Honda’s brilliance. HH is not Maruti. Maruti attracted Suzuki to take higher stake and see the way Maruti is now. I would, on any given day, salute Maruti but not Hero honda. Pls attribute the success to Hondas and not the Munjals. If you guys think am squarely hating HH, you are wrong. I love my splendor till date. But Compared to Rajiv (Bajaj) and Venu (TVS), I see no biking brains in Pawan Munjal. They are surviving cos of Honda. Just as a final word, ask Mr. Munjal to create his own brand “HERO” and compete against Bajaj and TVS head to head. Is that possible?
And to add to the message, I owned Bajaj Boxer CT (Kawasaki engine – remember?) for about seven years. It gave few problems, which any bike without maintenance would give. Nothing major. It was my bread and butter. Just because it got old, i changed it. Now the bajaj engines are not so great, agreed….. Tvs engines are not so great as they were in max100, samurai etc, agreed….. But both of them are learning, coming up with their own R&D. I just love Maruti, Tata, Mahindra, Bajaj and TVS. Their efforts are appreciated.
Bajaj may not be making the best engines in the world but it is competing against the established manufacturers like Honda and Yamaha who ruled the world even before, may be, Rajiv Bajaj was born. Bajaj is making development and it is not afraid of failure. Aren’t these the virtues of every success??
Whatever they copied is ok man? No one will give you 13BHP@9000 RPM, 135cc bike in below 60K. Mileage above 60. Likewise its ok. Front part looks nice but rear part looks very bad. But you will not get everything in 60K.
If you want look and power then go for Pulsar 180 or 220.
ya ur right..hondas rely on others..but Bajaj will not rely on any other but experiment things on their own n gain success..i own xcd 135.. wonderfull bike n i go long drive but mine is zero maintenance bike
.. i never clean bike but time to time given to service thats all.. now wat say?? 
sorry..mean to say hero’s company rely on honda..
I own a Pulsar 150 UG2 for the past 6 years(almost)!. There has not been one occasion it had given me a trouble or refinement issues. All my friends own/have booked for Pulsars just after driving my bike and falling love with the feel of it. I drive at more than 6 RPM most of the times in all gears.. which is actually ripping the bike. I do only oil change regularly.. nothing else. Servicing only once in 2 years… i drive 60kms a day.. There had been only 2 problems I faced in these 6 years.. chain sprocket replacement(change due to 30000 kms).. disk kit change(due to an minor accident). I adress any minor problem immediately so that it doesnt tamper my bike.. it all depends of how much u love ur bike.. only based on that the bike will serve you. be it any manufacturer. you take proper care, and it will be the way u want it..
sir I want to buy indian product bike.I am look like too short.which bike is suitable for me?
Wat is the road price of pulsar 135LS in dehli?
