Bajaj Auto is gearing up to celebrate 25 years of the Pulsar brand in 2026 with a significant update to its iconic Pulsar Classic series. According to recent reports from Autocar India, the next-generation Pulsar Classic models are expected to debut next year, featuring major platform and mechanical upgrades while preserving the signature styling that has made the Pulsar a household name.
Diverse Pulsar Lineup and Market Position
The current Bajaj Pulsar portfolio includes three main sub-brands: NS, N, and Classic, each catering to different types of riders. While the NS and N models focus on modern sporty designs and advanced features, the Classic series continues to thrive in markets that value simplicity, reliability, and affordability. Despite its traditional design, the Pulsar Classic remains one of Bajaj’s best-selling motorcycles in the commuter segment, proving that timeless appeal still holds strong.
Platform and Mechanical Upgrades
The upcoming Pulsar Classic range is set to adopt a new chassis design that integrates the engine as a stressed member, replacing the long-standing double-cradle frame. This shift is expected to improve overall rigidity and handling, aligning the Classic series more closely with the newer Pulsar N models.
Additionally, the Classic is likely to feature a monoshock rear suspension instead of the current twin-shock setup. This upgrade aims to enhance ride comfort and stability, offering a smoother experience for everyday commuting.
Engine and Performance Enhancements
Bajaj is also expected to refine the 125 cc and 150 cc engines to meet the latest emission standards while improving fuel efficiency. These updates are designed to maintain the approachable performance that has made the Pulsar Classic a reliable choice for riders over the years.
Design and Technology Updates
While the next-generation Pulsar Classic will retain its iconic ‘Wolf Eye’ headlamp and overall visual identity, minor styling tweaks are anticipated. Riders can also expect modern features such as LED lighting elements, a semi-digital or fully digital instrument cluster, and enhanced connectivity options including Bluetooth pairing, bringing the classic motorcycle up to contemporary standards.
Launch and Pricing Outlook
The revamped Bajaj Pulsar Classic range is expected to launch by August 2026. Pricing is anticipated to remain competitive, ensuring that the updated models continue to attract commuters who appreciate the Pulsar’s legacy combined with modern enhancements.
