Bajaj Pulsar 135cc

You've been waiting for the new Pulsar. You've been expecting it to be the biggest Pulsar. What you will get is the smallest Pulsar. Say hello to the Pulsar 135 LS, Bajaj's all-new offering that looks set to create a segment of its own. 

LOOKS
Aesthetically, the 135 LS is an evolution of the Sonic concept that was shown at the last Auto Expo. The front fairing and its 'floating' fairing is reminiscent of the concept, though the production version's shape is more angular and refined. The speedometer, fuel gauge, odometer and trip meter are digital, while the tachometer keeps an analogue face. The front mudguard features ridges on the top to complete the aggressive front look. New clip-on handlebars highlight this motorcycle's sporty intent, while switches and grips are the familiar Bajaj units.
The tank is a sculpted unit and features tank extensions that merge well with the overall look, enhancing the LS's sporty appeal. The seat is a two-piece unit that ends in a slinky-looking tail section devoid of a plastic mudguard. A rear wheel shroud now protects the pillion from whatever the rear wheel might throw up. Oh and lest I forget, the wheels are five-spoke alloys, something that we seem to take for granted these days. What catches your attention is the nifty little number plate holder at the rear, and also the new slash cut-look exhaust that tapers towards the end.

Ahead of Pulsar 135cc launch on December 09, pictures of pulsar started floating across. A Bajaj Pulsar fan club called bajajpulsar org has posted pictures of  the Bajaj pulsar 135cc. From the pictures, pulsar 135cc looks like a fusion of Bajaj XCD sprint (shown at 2008 auto expo) and pulsar 200cc. The styling of this bike is radical with trapezoidal headlamps. The rear muffler and rear number plate are also distinctly styled to resemble larger displacement sports bikes. However, the chain unit is closed one unlike we open chain arrangement in few Bajaj bikes. Pulsar 135cc is powered by 135cc DTS-Si engine which already powers XCD 135cc and develops 10bhp of max power at 7500 rpm. It pumps out 11.58Nm of peak torque at 5000rpm and the engine is mated with a four speed gearbox.  Similar to other Bajaj motorcycles, Pulsar 135cc comes packed with list of features. LED tail lamps, gas charged rear suspension, digital instrumentation, split seats, clip-on handlebar,alloy wheels, handlebar weights and spilit grab rail.
