Riding and Handling
Its handling maintains confidence no matter what. It easily catches the speed of 0-60 and 0-80 kmph. But the bike takes a while to accelerate to 80-100 kmph. But we would not recommend you to ride at high speed. You will enjoy driving this bike at a speed of 60-70 kmph. Bike is very smooth. At present, the engine does not vibrate even in high speed. Its NVH level is good.
Its suspension does not disappoint and it easily overcomes bad roads.
Break
The bike features a disc brake at the front and a drum brake at the rear. Now since it is a 125cc segment bike, it does not get anti-lock braking system but to make up for that shortcoming, CBS (combined braking system) has been given in it. With the help of CBS, it helps to stop the bike quickly. This means the bike felt good in terms of braking Bajaj's new Pulsar 125 Neon is the most powerful bike in the 125cc segment. Despite its design is simple, it looks very attractive. You will enjoy driving it and the biggest thing is that the company has kept its price right, which is another plus point. If you are bored of driving the existing 125cc bikes, then you must check out the new Pulsar 125 Neon.
