The Bajaj Pulsar 220F offers good value for money on account of its competitive price tag, powerful engine, DTS-I technology and attractive design. It is a good choice for buyers in this price segment.
Pulsar 220F manages to meet the new emission norms without reverting to the more expensive technology. Bajaj engineers have added more maps in the CDI unit which has now risen from two in the older motor to five in the new engine. The bore and stroke haven’t been changed but the new engine gets an air-injection system that infuses cooler air into the exhaust gases and reduces the emission of harmful gases. Other emission norms related changes include Evaporative Emission Control System (EVAP), bigger catalytic converter, while the intake and exhaust manifold has been completely redesigned.
Pulsar 220F is an affordable bike for customers in the four-stroke segment with DTS-I, oil-cooled, single-cylinder powertrain. The engine capacity is 220 cc and the engine has power at the top at 20.65 bhp at 8500 rpm and with a peak torque of 18.55 Nm at 7000 rpm. There are telescopic forks in this bike fitted in the front. There is a 5-step adjustable nitrox shock absorber at the rear for good support and balance to the bike while the bike is running on the road. There are 260 mm and 230 mm disc brakes at the front and the back. There is ample sitting comfortably.
Extreme exhilaration backed by the ultimate in safety technology. And that’s what shows right from the ride quality to the build to the features of this machine. The twin channel Anti-Lock Braking System gives you all the confidence you need to dominate every street the low-profile, wide radial tyres let you conquer every corner in style. They keep the ride grounded without taking away the ride feel. To keep your sight clear, the Vertical Auto Headlamp On (AHO) system lights up the night seamlessly.
The Pulsar is built for passionate, extended rides. The large contoured tank complements the tight surface lines that lets the rider tuck their knees into the tank body, man becoming one with machine. 43mm front fork suspension with hydraulic damping creates the ideal, stress-free riding triangle, accentuating the ride quality. The dual-spring mono-shock suspension nested centrally under the seat turns every long ride into a favourite adventure. Rubber grabs and grips coupled with a sophisticated German seat material, this is the dawn of a new age of power and panache.
