Key highlights
- The bike was launched in October 2024 and built on an all-new platform, separate from other Pulsars.Â
- It continues to be listed on Bajaj’s India website, but dispatches to dealers have stopped.
- The N125 will continue to be sold in export markets including Nepal, Peru, Colombia, and Morocco.
Launched in October 2024, the Bajaj Pulsar N125 was never just another Pulsar variant. It debuted an entirely new platform, with a brand new engine and chassis that kept kerb weight down to just 125 kg. The styling was unlike anything else in Bajaj’s range. Less than two years later, it has been discontinued in India.
Why it did not work
The N125’s thin, stretched-out look was a deliberate design choice. It just did not land with Indian buyers the way Bajaj hoped.
Rivals like the Hero Xtreme 125R and Honda CB125 Hornet found more success with a different approach: looking bigger and sportier than they actually are. The N125 went the other way, and the market responded accordingly.
Features did not help its case either. The bike lacked a TFT display and ABS, both of which several rivals in the segment now offer. In a competitive 125cc space, missing features add up quickly.
What happens now
The Pulsar N125 still shows up on Bajaj’s India website, but that is just a lag in updating the listing. Dispatches to dealers have already stopped, which means existing dealer stock is likely all that remains.
This is not necessarily the end of the platform itself. Bajaj could bring back a revised version with updated styling and a stronger feature set in the future. For now, though, the N125 lives on only in export markets, including Nepal, Peru, Colombia, and Morocco.
The bigger pattern
This is not Bajaj’s first quiet exit. The Pulsar F250 was discontinued in January 2025 due to weak sales. The Pulsar N150 disappeared from the lineup more recently too, replaced by a single-seat variant of the N160.
The N125’s departure leaves the Pulsar N series with just two models in India: the N160 and the N250. For a brand that builds 15 different Pulsar variants, not every experiment gets to stick around.
