Pulsar 135 LS - Small Thunder


Pulsar 135 with its predecessor's name is not worthless when compared with other bikes of its segment.

Pulsar 135 Engine is from Discover 135(old) though there are many upgrades which just brings the bike to the peak of performance. Out of which, i would say the best upgrade was the four-valved engine which provides the bike a better output than we think from a tiny 135cc engine.

First when i started the bike, it was just like XCD engine, but still i could find the difference in the Exhaust sound which sounded something rebellious. Since it was my first ride with Pulsar135 i don't wanted to clock top speed. But once i started my ride smoothly, i shocked to see my bike crossing 65kmph at no efforts. The bike's vibration slightly disturbed me that am driving fast(other pulsars will disturb gradually) . (Vibrations are not like XCD that's really cool). Actually i should not compare it with any of the 125cc or 135cc bikes. Its worthy to be compared with 150cc bikes.

The bike is very light and also carries a small engine tank unlike other pulsar, due to this Kutti (Chotta) pulsar, can rock the roads easier due to lessr weight that it carries.

About pickup, the pulsar135 has a good pickup. Am able to reach 0-60kmph within in 6 secs (with the third gear when crossing 60). the sound that was produced was reduced much in this bike. But i feel that the foot rest gives me more vibratin compared to our bigger pulsars.

Seating position is also good but i dont think that this bike will suit tall guys (say above 5'10''). However the clipon handles and the engine soop will make you feel definitely that you are on a race. So commuters drive carefully.

Smaller front suspensions used in Pulsar 180UG-3, Pulsar 150 UG-3&4, was used in this bike, since the bike weighs only 122Kgs, also it will be best suited.

Other than that arrogant looks, Excellent top speed (111kmph) were also the features that will knock your heart.

Speifications:
  • Engine Dsplacement : 134.6cc
  • Engine Type : 4 Stroke, Air Cooled, 4 - valved
  • Output Power : 13.5Bhp@9000rpm
  • Engine Torque : 11.4nm@7500rpm
  • Gear : 5 Speed gear box
  • Fuel Tank : 8Ltrs (XCD)
  • Weight : 122Kgs
  • TopSpeed : 115kmph
Hope the bike would disturb both 125cc and 150cc bike segment.

Expecting more and more outcomes interms of innovation and technology.

Cheers!!!
