BAJAJ Pulsar AS 150 (2017-Present) Specs, Performance & Photos

In 2017, the Indian motorcycle maker released the Bajaj Pulsar AS 150, a small displacement motorcycle that debuted in 2015 alongside the RS 200 and AS1200. The AS designation stood for Adventure Sport.

The Bajaj Pulsar was a range of motorcycles manufactured by Bajaj Auto in India. The bike was developed by Bajaj's product engineering division in association with Tokyo R&D and later with motorcycle designer Glynn Kerr.

Visually, the bike had standard fittings, such as a half fairing with a single headlight unit, a small windscreen, a two-piece dual seat with passenger grab rails, a side stand, a dual-sided swingarm, and 10-spoke alloy wheels.

For suspension, the bike packed a telescopic fork with anti-friction bushes on the front and a Nitrox single shock absorber on the rear, offering optimum suspension performance and handling capabilities.

As for the braking power, the bike's wheels were fitted with a front and rear petal brake disc engaged by hydraulic floating calipers, delivering optimum stopping power.

In the performance department, the 2017 Bajaj Pulsar AS 150 had installed a 149cc air-cooled single-cylinder engine mounted underneath the fuel tank, boasting 17 hp with a peak force at 9,500 rpm and 14 Nm (10 lb-ft) torque at 7,000 rpm.

The power generated by the powerhouse was sent to the rear wheel through a five-speed transmission and a final chain drive.
