Next-Generation Bajaj Pulsar Classic 125 spotted testing ahead of 25th anniversary

Images of what appears to be the next-generation Bajaj Pulsar Classic 125 have surfaced online, providing the first glimpse of expected updates for this long-standing model. The Pulsar brand will mark 25 years of continuous production in November. Bajaj is likely to launch the updated model before this milestone, aiming to meet festive season demand.

Key Highlights

• Next-generation Bajaj Pulsar Classic 125 spotted testing with updated design
• Test bikes feature both single-seat and split-seat configurations
• Monoshock rear suspension replaces twin shocks on current model
• Launch likely ahead of Pulsar brand's 25th anniversary in November
• A comprehensive update for Classic Pulsar range expected by August 2026

Key Design and Features

Several details suggest the test bike is the next-generation Pulsar Classic 125, not the Pulsar N125. The test motorcycle lacks the prominent fork shrouds found on the N125. Despite heavy camouflage, the silhouette and fuel-tank shape resemble the current Pulsar 125’s smoother design, rather than the N125’s sharper look.

Images show more than one test bike, featuring both single-seat and split-seat configurations. This matches the current Pulsar 125 lineup, which offers both options. In contrast, the Pulsar N125 is available only with a split-seat setup. Additional visible elements include a belly pan, rear tyre hugger, and enclosed chain drive, all consistent with the Classic Pulsar range.

The wheel design on the test bike matches the wheels used on existing Pulsar 125 models. This further indicates the model is the Pulsar 125, not the Pulsar 150, which uses different wheels.

Mechanical Updates and Launch Timeline

While specific technical details remain unconfirmed, the next-generation Pulsar Classic 125 is expected to use a new engine. It is unclear if this engine will be related to the N-series engines. The test bike features a monoshock rear suspension, replacing the twin shocks found on the current Classic Pulsar 125 and 150. This change suggests the new model will use an entirely new chassis.

In late 2023, reports indicated Bajaj was preparing a comprehensive update for the Classic Pulsar range, including the Pulsar 125 and Pulsar 150. The update is based on a new platform and is targeted for launch around August 2026. The motorcycle seen in recent spy shots could represent this anticipated update.

Further details about the next-generation Pulsar Classic 125 are expected as Bajaj continues development and testing. More information will be shared as it becomes available.
