The seat height of the motorcycle is 790 mm which is accessible for most people. The exhaust is an under-belly unit just like Bajaj is using on the N160. Suspension duties are done by telescopic forks in the front and a monoshock at the rear. Moreover, Bajaj has been able to reduce the weight by 10 kgs.

The Pulsar P150 is powered by a new 149.68 cc engine. It delivers a peak power of 14.5 Ps at 8,500 rpm and a maximum torque of 13.5 Nm at 6,000 rpm. Bajaj says that the engine is tuned to deliver 90 per cent of its torque across the usable rev range. The manufacturer has also improved the NVH levels of the engine. The power-to-weight ratio of the motorcycle has improved by 11 per cent, thanks to the weight reduction.

In terms of features, there is an Infinity Display with Gear indicator, Clock, Fuel economy and DTE (Distance to Empty), LED tail lamp and LED projector headlamp. There is also a USB socket to charge mobile devices. The motorcycle comes with single-channel ABS as standard.
