Engineered by Bajaj for the sport motorcycle segment, the 2011 Bajaj Pulsar 135LS utilizes a 134.7 cc (8.2 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke layout. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 13.5 HP (9.9 kW) at 9,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 11.4 Nm (8.4 lb-ft) at 7,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 100.2 HP per liter and a 2,000 rpm working window between peak torque (7,000 rpm) and peak power (9,000 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.
On the scales, the Pulsar 135LS measures 122 kg (269 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.11 HP/kg (9.04 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 1,320 mm (52 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 8-liter (2.1 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
