Bajaj Auto is preparing to make the Pulsar NS125 more feature-rich with a series of updates for the 2026 model year. The updated motorcycle has appeared in dealership images, revealing fresh colour combinations, a revised LCD instrument console and additional convenience features.

The latest version retains the familiar streetfighter design that has made the Pulsar NS125 a popular option in the 125cc motorcycle segment. However, the addition of features such as a Sport bikes riding mode, LED turn indicators, hazard lights and USB Type-C charging could make the updated model more appealing to young riders and daily commuters.

The changes appear to focus primarily on styling and equipment rather than mechanical upgrades. Here is a closer look at the expected highlights of the 2026 Bajaj Pulsar NS125.

2026 Bajaj Pulsar NS125 Gets New Colour Options

One of the most noticeable changes is the introduction of fresh colour combinations and revised graphics. The motorcycle has been spotted with glossy black bodywork complemented by fluorescent yellow accents and contrasting grey panels.

The new graphics extend across the fuel tank extensions, belly cowl and rear body panels. Matching highlights on the alloy wheels add to its sporty appearance.

The overall design remains familiar, with the muscular fuel tank, angular tank shrouds, split-seat arrangement and separate pillion grab rails continuing from the existing model.

Bajaj appears to have retained the motorcycle's aggressive styling while introducing visual changes to keep it looking fresh. These updates could help the NS125 maintain its appeal among buyers looking for a sporty-looking commuter motorcycle without moving to a larger engine.

Revised LCD Instrument Console

The updated instrument console is another important highlight. The new LCD display features a prominent digital speedometer, a gear-position indicator and a tachometer section across the upper portion of the screen.

Additional information displayed on the console includes a clock, trip meter, fuel gauge and average fuel-economy readout. The display also provides useful warning indications, including a low-fuel or refuelling alert and a side-stand warning.

The revised console is intended to make important riding information easier to access. The addition of a riding-mode indicator also suggests a more comprehensive electronic feature package on the updated motorcycle.

It is worth noting that the LCD-equipped version should not automatically be confused with a higher-spec TFT display. The exact screen and connectivity features may vary by variant.



 

Sport Mode Added to the Riding Modes

The updated Pulsar NS125 has been spotted displaying a Sport mode alongside the riding-mode options visible on its instrument console. This is a notable development for a motorcycle in the 125cc category.

Sport mode is intended to provide a more performance-oriented riding experience. However, the precise effect on throttle response, engine behaviour or other settings has not been fully established from the available information.

Buyers should therefore wait for Bajaj's official specifications to confirm how the mode works and which variants receive it.

The existing motorcycle's relatively small engine is designed primarily for urban commuting, so any riding-mode addition should be viewed as a feature enhancement rather than evidence of a major performance increase.

LED Turn Indicators and Hazard Lights

The updated motorcycle has also been spotted with LED turn indicators and a dedicated hazard-light switch on the right-hand handlebar controls.

LED indicators can provide a modern lighting appearance and may offer quicker illumination than conventional bulb-type indicators. Hazard lights allow the rider to activate the turn indicators together to alert surrounding traffic when the motorcycle is stationary or in an appropriate emergency situation.

The dedicated switch is positioned near the engine run/stop control, keeping the function accessible to the rider.

These additions would bring the NS125 closer to the feature set increasingly expected from modern commuter motorcycles. The final equipment list should be checked against the specific variant before purchase.

USB Type-C Charging Port

Another useful addition is a USB Type-C charging port positioned near the instrument console. The port is shown beneath a protective cover, helping shield the connection when it is not in use.

This feature could be convenient for riders who use smartphones for navigation, calls or everyday commuting. A charging connection can help maintain a phone's battery during longer journeys, although charging speed and compatibility depend on the connected device and the motorcycle's electrical system.

The inclusion of Type-C charging would also be a practical upgrade for younger buyers who frequently carry smartphones while travelling.

Engine and Mechanical Specifications

Despite the new features, the 2026 Bajaj Pulsar NS125 is expected to retain its existing engine and basic mechanical package.

The current motorcycle uses a 124.45cc, single-cylinder engine producing 12PS of maximum power and 11Nm of peak torque. It is paired with a five-speed manual gearbox.

The chassis and suspension arrangement are also expected to remain largely unchanged. The motorcycle uses telescopic front forks and a rear monoshock, while braking equipment varies by version.

Expected Price of the 2026 Bajaj Pulsar NS125

The updated Pulsar NS125 is expected to command a modest price premium over comparable versions of the existing motorcycle, given the additional equipment and revised styling.

Reports accompanying the latest dealership images have indicated a possible increase of around Rs. 1,000. However, the final price will depend on the variant and Bajaj's official pricing announcement.

The current NS125 range has been listed at a starting ex-showroom price of approximately Rs. 99,622 in Delhi. Buyers should confirm the latest price with an authorised dealership, as prices and variant availability can change.

Launch Timeline and Availability

The updated motorcycle has appeared in dealership images, suggesting that the changes are moving closer to retail availability. However, buyers should distinguish between a dealership sighting and a formal manufacturer announcement.

The exact launch details, variant-wise equipment, final prices and delivery schedule should be confirmed by Bajaj Auto. Prospective buyers should also check whether the Sport mode, LED indicators and Type-C charging port are included in the particular version they intend to purchase.
