Bajaj Pulsar N125 vs competition — Engine specifications
Again, all three motorcycles are powered by a 125cc, single-cylinder air-cooled engine mated to a five-speed gearbox. All three motorcycles make similar power and torque as well, making any of the three a good choice if the primary reason is to commute on a motorcycle with good fuel efficiency. The TVS Raider clearly has the price advantage here. while also weighing 2 kg less than the Pulsar N125.
