The streets are about to get a whole lot smarter, thanks to the upcoming launch of the 2024 Bajaj Pulsar N150. ZigWheels has learned that the iconic 150cc streetfighter is getting a major update, and this time, it’s not just about the engine. Get ready for the Pulsar N150 to embrace the digital age with the inclusion of smartphone connectivity features.
This is a significant move for Bajaj, as it addresses one of the biggest criticisms of the current Pulsar N150: the lack of modern tech. While rivals like the Yamaha FZ-S V3 and TVS Apache RTR 160 4V flaunt fully digital instrument clusters and smartphone connectivity, the Pulsar N150 has felt a bit behind the curve.
But that’s all about to change. Our sources reveal that the 2024 Pulsar N150 will likely receive an LCD instrument console, possibly even a colored one, that will act as the gateway to a world of connected riding. While the exact features remain under wraps, we can expect to see functionalities like:
- Call and SMS alerts: Stay focused on the road while receiving notifications about incoming calls and messages.
- ‘Find my bike’ feature: Never lose track of your Pulsar again with this handy location tracking tool.
- Music controls: Keep your tunes pumping without taking your hands off the handlebars.
- Turn-by-turn navigation: Ditch the bulky phone mount and let your instrument cluster guide you to your destination.
The addition of a TFT display, while not confirmed, would be a game-changer for the Pulsar N150, making it the first bike in its segment to boast such a feature.
However, this technological leap might come at a slight price. We expect the updated Pulsar N150 with connectivity to carry a premium of Rs. 4,000-5,000 over the current single-channel ABS variant. Still, considering the value proposition of the Pulsar, this price hike is likely to be well-accepted by tech-savvy riders.
The launch date for the 2024 Bajaj Pulsar N150 is still under wraps, but we expect it to hit showrooms sometime in the coming months. Bajaj has already teased an update for the N150 on its social media channels, so the wait shouldn’t be too long.
One thing’s for sure, the upcoming Pulsar N150 is poised to shake up the 150cc segment. With its potent engine, aggressive styling, and now, a dash of digital intelligence, the Pulsar is ready to reclaim its throne as the king of the streets. Stay tuned for more updates as we bring you the latest news on this exciting launch.
