Introducing the 2015 Bajaj Pulsar 135, a nimble and stylish entry in the sport motorcycle category that strikes a perfect balance between performance and practicality. Designed for urban commuting and weekend thrill-seeking alike, this bike captures the essence of Bajaj's commitment to delivering quality and innovation. With its sporty aesthetics and compact dimensions, the Pulsar 135 is not only a head-turner but also a versatile choice for riders seeking an agile and responsive machine that can tackle both city streets and winding roads with ease. At the heart of the Pulsar 135 lies a robust 134.70 cc single-cylinder, four-stroke engine that generates a spirited 13.56 HP at 9,000 RPM and a satisfying torque of 11.40 Nm at 7,000 RPM. This powerplant delivers a lively performance that encourages spirited riding, while the 5-speed gearbox ensures smooth transitions through the gears.

Equipped with a host of features that cater to the modern rider, the Pulsar 135 shines with its thoughtful engineering. The front suspension, featuring telescopic forks with anti-friction bush, offers a comfortable ride over uneven surfaces, while the rear’s 5-way adjustable Nitrox shock absorber allows for customization based on rider preference and load. Safety is not overlooked, with front disc brakes and a reliable drum brake at the rear for confident stopping power. With a fuel capacity of 8 liters, the Pulsar 135 is designed for longer rides without frequent stops at the pump, making it an ideal choice for both daily commutes and weekend adventures. Plus, it comes with both electric and kick start options, ensuring you're always ready to ride. **
