The most noticeable feature on the updated Pulsar Twin Disc is the new underbelly panel that gives the motorcycle a sportier look. The bike also gets new graphics that are available in two colour options – black-and-red and black-and-blue.
ArrayThe updated Pulsar 150 Twin Disc is a mid-life upgrade before all new models arrive in 2020. In an interview in September, Rajiv Bajaj, Managing Director of Bajaj Auto spoke about the future of the Pulsar brand stating that the company would use the arrival of new emission norms as an opportunity to introduce the model range in the new avatar.
Thus, apart from the visual upgrades, there are no changes to the 2019 Pulsar 150 Twin Disc. Propelling is tasked to the existing 149.5cc, single-cylinder, twin-spark motor that churns out 14 PS of maximum power and 13.4 Nm of peak torque. The engine is mated to a five-speed gearbox. Stopping power comes from a single disc on both ends while the safety net of ABS is not available. Expect the ABS-equipped model to arrive very soon as the upcoming norms mandate the installation of the safety feature on all two-wheelers with a displacement of 125cc and above from 1 April, 2019.
