A revolutionary and fastest-selling Indian bike, the all-new Freedom 125 CNG motorcycle is generating heat in India now. On the other hand, Bajaj is also creating quite a buzz around an incoming Pulsar styled on similar lines as that of an ADV motorcycle and this new adventure tourer from Bajaj has been spied yet another time with some fresh insights.
The Upcoming 2025 Bajaj Pulsar ADV
Even when we consider Bajaj’s current lineup, it is clear that the company does not have an adventure tourer or even a pseudo-fake ADV. As ADV and ADV-style bikes are the new flavor of the day Bajaj is entering this segment once again. Though Bajaj has tried something similar in the past with its Pulsar AS series (Adventure Sports) adventure-style motorcycles which have since been discontinued due to lackluster sales, the company is looking at a revival of sorts for such models.
This is the second time that the Pulsar ADV (Adventure) styled motorcycle was seen in as many days and auto enthusiast Irfan Khan has posted new images of a sighting captured somewhere near Lonavala. The spy shot is taken from the exhaust side of the bike and offers some unique details about its profile. By and large, the spied Bajaj Pulsar ADV bears a resemblance to the Pulsar NS series which suggests that Bajai may well choose its tested and tried base for their upcoming adventure bike on similar lines with a perimeter frame coupled with a box-section swingarm.
The biggest change however seen is in a newly designed front seat, the rider gets noticeably scooped out for lowering height and this has now become a standard affair across all high-riding ADV motorcycles. The split-design seat appears to offer ample room, complementing the muscular fuel tank adorned with beefy tank shrouds. On the other hand, no bikini fairing or tall windscreen as seen on Pulsar AS Bajaj have been omitted. The tail section appears eerily similar to that of the Pulsar NS family.
The tail lights aren’t any different, while the grab rail adopts a single-piece design instead of the NS’s split design. The headlight has an ADV appearance with a beak-like extension front projection. The only visible element of the upcoming Bajaj Pulsar ADV is the USD telescopic front forks, which with rear disc brakes and a skinny set of tires, indicate a heavy front suspension setup likely to be found on a 125cc motorcycle.
The heavy look of the suspension around the font suggests may be rocky covers similar to the ones seen on the Freedom 125 the CNG-fueled motorcycle. Therefore, RSU telescopic forks with thick covers are to be expected.
Given that Bajaj’s 125cc Pulsar models are top sellers, expanding this category to include an ADV-style motorcycle could be a strategic move. Anticipated features and components include LED headlights, LED tail lights, a fully digital instrument cluster with Bluetooth support, a USB charging port, a rear mono-shock suspension setup, 17-inch alloy wheels at both ends, and a front disc brake.
Powertrain-wise, the upcoming Bajaj Pulsar ADV is likely to adopt a similar setup as the Pulsar NS125, offering around 12 PS of peak power and 11 Nm of peak torque. This would include a 5-speed gearbox, air-cooled engine, underbelly exhaust setup, and options for kick and self-start mechanisms.
