Classic Pulsar models of Bajaj Auto are undergoing further improvements, which dealerships have revealed to be closer to reality than we thought. In just a few months since the redesign of Pulsar 125 that happened in January 2026, a camouflaged concept of the new model has appeared on the internet, followed by a production version. This seems to continue a trend where Bajaj releases its latest generation of bikes to dealerships even before any official announcement.
Improved lighting and style

The spy shot bike boasts a more aggressive LED headlight than the existing one. The most intriguing detail about the bike is that it seems like the LED turn signals that appeared back in January 2026 were replaced by plain halogen lights, which is somewhat weird.
On the back side of the bike, you will notice that the bike gets its first redesign of the tail light since the UG3 generation update in 2006.
Update bodywork
It seems that the fuel tank design is very much retained, although it does feature more sharp and aggressive lines with regards to its shroud design.
Rear Suspension with Monoshock

This mechanical shift will come as the use of the rear monoshock system the very first time on any Classic Pulsar. In the past, such a system could only be found on the defunct Pulsar N125, indicating that Bajaj may be utilizing lessons from that motorcycle. The rear monoshock normally necessitates the redesigning of the frame and subframe too.
Wheels and Braking
The braking system seems similar, with a combination of a disc on the front and a drum on the back, while the wheels look like the previous model.
Expectations for the Powertrain
The assumption is that the engine will remain the same as that of the current Pulsar 125 with 124.38 cc air-cooled engine producing 11.8 PS of power and 10.8 Nm of torque with a five-speed gearbox. The other aspect which will also remain the same is the fuel tank capacity of 15 liters.
When will it be launched?
Sources indicate that the entire Classic Pulsar range is set to be unveiled sometime around August 12, with additional models expected to follow the same dealership sighting trend as
