Best Bike In Its Segment

Pulsar has been a major hit in the market; it comes in four variants: Pulsar 150 DTSi, Pulsar 180 DTSi, Pulsar 200 DTSi & Pulsar 220 DTSi. Bajaj Pulsar DTSi comes with a throttle actuated ignition-control system that works in conjunction with a chip-controlled digital capacitor discharge ignition (CDI) system for accurate ignition timing under all conditions.

The dual spark design accelerates and evens out flame propagation, which results in more efficient combustion and hence leads to better performance. Pulsar's 180cc engine delivers maximum power of 16.5bhp @ 8000 rpm and a torque of 15.22 Nm @ 6000 rpm. It looks great with its mean muscular aerodynamic shape.

Now Bajaj India has unvieled the upgraded model of the of the Pulsar 180 in response to the TVS Apache RTR 180. Bajaj India claims a little increase in power - The new model of Pulsar 280 generates maximum power of 17 Bhp at 8500 rpm with maximum torque of 16.5 Nm at 8000 rpm.

Apart from the smashing look, Pulsar has lighter yet stronger alloy wheels, which when coupled with the longest wheelbase (1330mm) enhance the stability of the bike and at the same time make it more agile. It has a perfect blend of style and functionality. The posture is very flexible. You can sit at ease on it, or you can go all-out and stick your nose into the petrol tank. Shocks are good, vibrations are minimal, Switches are laid out conveniently, there’s a tacho, a beam-flasher.

The pillion is also comfortable, except for the grab-bar, which is a bit too small. It gives a mileage of 45-50kmpl and Bajaj Pulsar 150 DTSi gives 55-60 kmpl. Overall it is very good bike with good looks, feel, handling and mileage.
