Bajaj Pulsar N150 Discontinued in India: Key Facts
News by Team Drivio | 17 Jul 2025
The Bajaj Pulsar N150 discontinued marks the end of a brief yet promising chapter in the Pulsar lineup. Launched in late 2023 as a sportier spin-off of the P150, the N150 was quietly delisted in July 2025, positioned directly below the Pulsar N160 and unable to carve a clear identity in Bajaj’s crowded 150–160 cc segment.
Engine & Performance
Powered by a 149.68 cc air-cooled single-cylinder engine delivering around 14.5 hp and 13.5 Nm torque, the N150 shared its 5-speed gearbox, fuel efficiency, and riding dynamics with its classic stablemate. Its behavior suited daily commuting, yet offered only modest gains over rivals.
Chassis & Handling
Adopting the N160-inspired styling, the N150 featured a muscular tank, LED projector headlamp, and single-piece seat. Its suspension included telescopic front forks and a rear monoshock, supported by single-channel ABS and a rear drum brake — adequate, but far from top-tier in handling or safety.
Technology & Features
While the N150 featured a digital instrument console with Bluetooth connectivity and USB port (added in its 2024 update), these refinements still paled compared to the Pulsar N160’s dual-disc brakes, oil-cooled 164.8 cc engine, dual-channel ABS, and multiple variants.
Market Performance & Pricing
Priced around ₹1.18–1.25 lakh (ex-showroom), the Pulsar N150 faced stiff competition not just externally, but within its own family. The gap between it and the N160 was minimal — yet the latter delivered more power (16 hp), better brakes, and richer features for just a bit more money. This redundancy led to poor sales and ultimately its removal from Bajaj’s official website.
Conclusion
The discontinuation of the Bajaj Pulsar N150 reflects its failure to stand out in a highly competitive segment. With lackluster sales and narrow feature gaps compared to the superior Pulsar N160, Bajaj made a strategic move to streamline its 150–160 cc offerings. The N150 was a capable commuter, but in a world demanding value and differentiation, it simply didn’t measure up. For buyers, the stronger, more feature-rich N160 or classic Pulsar 150 present more compelling choices—and the N150 quietly exits the stage.
