Engine and Transmission of Bajaj Pulsar N125 in Nepal

Engine Displacement: 124.59 cc

The heart of the Pulsar N125 is a newly developed 124.59 cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine. Unlike the older DTS-i units, this engine is designed for refined power delivery and is BS6 Phase 2 (OBD-2) compliant. It features a single-spark, 2-valve configuration optimized for urban agility.

Max Power: 12 PS @ 8500 rpm

The N125 produces a class-leading 12 PS of power. This output provides the bike with a superior power-to-weight ratio, allowing it to be one of the quickest accelerating motorcycles in the 125cc category, reaching 0-60 km/h with ease.

Max Torque: 11 Nm @ 6000 rpm

With a peak torque of 11 Nm arriving at a relatively low 6000 rpm, the N125 excels in "stop-and-go" city traffic. This mid-range grunt reduces the need for frequent gear changes during urban commutes.

No. of Cylinders: 1

The motorcycle utilizes a single-cylinder layout to maintain a lightweight profile and ensure low maintenance costs, which is critical for the 125cc segment in the Nepalese market.

Valve Train: SOHC, 2-Valve

The engine employs a Simple Overhead Cam (SOHC) with a 2-valve head. This setup is chosen for its mechanical simplicity and reliability, providing a balance between fuel efficiency and adequate top-end performance.

Fuel System: Fuel Injection (FI)

The N125 features an advanced Fuel Injection system that ensures precise fuel metering, resulting in crisp throttle response, easy cold starts, and consistent performance across varying altitudes in Nepal.

Top Speed: 100 km/h

The Pulsar N125 is capable of reaching a top speed of approximately 100 km/h. Its aerodynamic "N-series" tank shrouds help in reducing wind blast, making it stable at its upper performance limits.

Mileage: 60 kmpl

Under standard testing conditions, the bike delivers a mileage of around 60 kmpl. In real-world Nepalese city conditions, riders can expect between 50-55 kmpl depending on riding style.
