        With a punchy 125cc engine, sporty NS-inspired design, light handling, and a comfortable ride, this bike offers everything a daily commuter needs. It delivers decent mileage, features a digital console with USB charging, and comes equipped with solid CBS brakes. All of this at an affordable price a great value-for-money choice that brings Pulsar vibes without stretching your budget.
