The Bajaj Pulsar 150 Neon is powered by a BS6-compliant 149.5cc air-cooled, fuel-injected engine that produces a maximum power of 14PS at 8,000rpm and a peak torque of 13.4Nm at 6,000rpm. For transmission, it comes mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox.
The Bajaj Pulsar 150 Neon is equipped with a 240mm disc brake on the front and a 130mm disc brake on the rear. It also gets single-channel ABS for better road handling. Further, it comes with telescopic forks on the front and a dual-shock unit on the rear for improved damping control.
After the hike, the Bajaj Pulsar 150 Neon is priced at Rs. 90,003 in India. At this price-point, the bike competes against Suzuki Gixxer, Yamaha FZ V2.0, and Honda Hornet 160R.
