The P150’s small underbelly exhaust makes the bike look quite narrow and compact.. The alloy wheel design and the single-piece seat is carried over from the bike it replaced, the Bajaj Pulsar P150.

Power & Mileage

Powering the Pulsar N150 is a 149.68cc, air-cooled, single-cylinder engine producing 14.5PS and 13.5Nm of torque.

And thanks to its 14-litre fuel tank, you should be able to ride a fair distance before you need to refuel.

Suspension, Ride Quality & Ease of Riding

The Pulsar N150 also offers nimble handling, which means it can change directions quickly.. The telescopic fork and monoshock suspension setup works perfectly in keeping the bike stable when you’re turning quickly, and that is a boon when trying to navigate through heavy traffic. And even if you decide to ride it on a twisting ghat road, it remains steady and handles sharp corners really well. The disc brake setup complements the riding experience with good stopping power.

Comfort

That said, its kerb weight of 145kg is heavier compared to its rivals. When it comes to its riding position, the handlebar is set slightly lower, so you have to lean towards it a little bit. But it’s not so much that it will leave you with wrist and back aches. Combine tha with its mid-set footpegs, and the Pulsar N150 gets a fairly comfortable riding posture.
