Bajaj Pulsar N125 LED Disc, LED Disc BT Variants Explained: What's Different?

Last month, Bajaj Auto launched the all-new Pulsar N125 bike at Rs 94,707 (starting price, ex-showroom). Offered in two variants – LED Disc and LED Disc BT (Bluetooth) – the Bajaj Pulsar N125 is a modern, sporty commuter bike with vertically stacked LEDs, halogen turn indicators, split seats, and a muscular fuel tank with sharp extensions. The tank can hold up to 9.7 litres of fuel. At the rear, the two-wheeler features a dual LED taillamp setup, pillion grab-rail and upswept tail section. Seven colour options are available – Caribbean Blue, Cocktail Wine Red, Pearl Metallic White, Ebony Black, Citrus Rish, and Purple Fury. 

Besides a sleek design, the Pulsar N125 gets a new engine and a few nifty features, with even the base variant getting an LED headlamp, a front disc brake, and 17-inch alloy wheels. A 124.5cc single-cylinder engine, which develops 11.38bhp at 8,500rpm and 11Nm of peak torque at 6,000rpm, powers the Pulsar N125. This makes the bike the most powerful in its segment.

The engine comes mated to a 5-speed transmission and has a 54 x 54.4 bore x stroke ratio. According to Bajaj, the Pulsar N125 returns a fuel economy of 60km/l (claimed) and offers a 198mm ground clearance. Now, let's look at the features available with each variant. 

LED Disc

The entry-level LED Disc variant gets a smaller LCD. While this unit is not Bluetooth-compatible, it offers all the basic readouts such as a speedometer, odometer, trip meter, and fuel gauge. The base LED Disc rides on a slimmer rear 100/90-section tyre. It comes in four colourways – Ebony Black, Cocktail Wine Red, Pearl Metallic White, and Carribean Blue. At Rs 94,707 (ex-showroom), the LED Disc is the more affordable way to get yourself the Pulsar N125 today.

LED Disc BT

The top-spec LED Disc BT is equipped with a bigger LCD with Bluetooth connectivity for call and message alerts. Unlike the LED Disc that gets a conventional self starter, the BT comes with an integrated starter generator for a silent start. It rolls on a thicker rear tyre, measuring 110/80 in size. Also up for offer is switchable auto start/stop assist. It is available in three shades – Pewter Grey, Purple Fury, and Cocktail Wine Red – and costs Rs 4,000 more than the base variant.
