Bajaj Pulsar 135 LS

Overview of Bajaj Pulsar 135 LS


Bajaj India has launched the much awaited New Bajaj Pulsar 135 LS (Light Sport). Pulsar 135 LS features the same headlight as seen in the XCD Sprint Concept shown at the Auto Expo, 2008 in New Delhi. Bajaj recently launched the updated versions of Pulsar 150, Pulsar 180 & Pulsar 220. Also the Pulsar 200 was discontinued, so the main reason of launching Pulsar 135 LS is that they want to eat into the sales of Honda CBF Stunner.

Engine of Bajaj Pulsar 135 LS - World's First 4 Valve DTS-i Engine


- 135cc DTS-i engine in Pulsar 135 LS is the world's first DTS-i engine to feature 4 valves
- Maximum power of 13.5 PS at 9000 rpm
- Maximum torque of 11.4 Nm at 7500 rpm
According to Bajaj the 135cc DTS-i engine in Pulsar 135 LS is the world's first DTS-i engine to feature 4 valves. This engine generated maximum power of 13.5 PS at 9000 rpm with maximum torque of 11.4 Nm at 7500 rpm. It has been designed for better performance than regular a 2-Valve engine. Combined with the revolutionary DTS-i (Digital Twin Spark-ignition) technology which maximizes combustion to deliver enhanced power and superior mileage with low emissions, the Pulsar 135 LS has one of the most efficient production engines ever.


1. More Power: The 4 valve provides for a greater intake and exhaust area resulting in more power, almost equivalent a 2 valve 150cc engine.

2. Sustained Top End Power: The light-weight character of the four smaller valves (as opposed to two heavier valves), which allow the engine to effortlessly rev to an eye-popping 10,500 rpm.

3. Sporty Ride: Given the wider rpm band, the engine can be revved hard and high in each gear resulting in a genuine sporty ride.

4. More Mileage: Established superiority of DTS-i blended with 4 valve not only enhances the performance but also returns a very good fuel economy - 68.1 km/l certified by ARAI.

5. More Green: Comfortably meets BSIII regulations.


Price Of Bajaj Pulsar 135 LS
Price of Pulsar 135 LS seems to be very competitive in comparison to its main rival - Honda CBF Stunner - which is low on features in comparison to Pulsar 135 LS. But one thing Bajaj should consider that this is not a good strategy to discontinue products and then again launch it with smaller engine or bigger engines in some cases.
And also Pulsar has a very good brand image among young buyers - there was no need to launch Pulsar with a 135cc engine - it is expected to get mixed reactions from Pulsar lovers. Instead they should have launched a new bike with XCD's engine. Though Pulsar 135 LS will be a instant hit as it a true value for money bike but in my opnion Bajaj should sell only two models of Pulsar - The Pulsar 180 & Pulsar 220. And Discover should have only model - Discover 150 with Pulsar's 150cc engine.


Shades Available in Bajaj Pulsar 135 LS
Bajaj Pulsar 135 LS is available in two shades:
- Wine Red
- Midnight Black


Main Features of Bajaj Pulsar 135 LS (from official website)
