The absence of ABS (not offered even as an option) is a letdown. However, by launching the sportbike sooner than later, Bajaj has very carefully avoided the compulsory ABS rules applicable from the from 1st April. Hence, time will let us know if this move will add values to the brand value. On the Indian road, the new Pulsar 150 will lock horns with the likes of Honda Unicorn, Suzuki Gixxer, TVS Apache. For the time being, bookings are open for all over India.
