The motorcycle shares its graphics theme with the Pulsar 180. The graphics are visible on the fuel tank and the rear panels. The side panels get a carbon-fibre patterned design. Moreover, the motorcycle gets new rim stickers that match the body colour. Updated styling cues also witness the addition of a new engine cowl that adds a sporty look to the 150cc motorcycle.
The new model features a unique Twin-Disc branding on the front fender with the “I” in Twin and Disc designed to mimic a disc brake. The instrument console has been carried forward from the non-ABS model although it now receives the addition of ABS indicator that sits next to the high-beam sign. A carbon-fibre patterned sticker surrounds the console.
The 149cc, 4 Stroke, 2-valve, twin spark, air-cooled, DTS-i engine delivers 14 PS of maximum power at 8,000 rpm and 13.4 Nm of peak torque at 6,000 rpm, paired with a five-speed gearbox.
