If you’ve journeyed back in time, the redesigned Bajaj Pulsar 220F was just launched in India. This is very much 2024. Despite being in production for more than ten years, the Pulsar 220F continues to be sold in sufficient quantities to support its continuous manufacturing. These are the bike’s best features for 2024 after a few upgrades.
DESIGN
Even after all these years, the Bajaj Pulsar 220F, the company’s first semi-faired motorbike, still has a stunning appearance. Some of its design features include the recognizable twin-strip LED tail lights, the hefty fuel tank, and the distinctive stacked headlight configuration with the projector low beam. Bajaj Auto has skillfully and neatly applied new graphics to the bike’s bodywork to improve its appearance.
Although the design is outdated, it adheres to the Bajaj Pulsar design language, which is why some buyers choose the bike over others.
FEATURES
Bajaj has installed a brand-new digital instrument cluster with turn-by-turn navigation and Bluetooth connectivity. The cyclist must use a specific app to pair their smartphone with a cluster. After that is finished, the rider can go to a selected location and access info such as incoming calls and SMS notifications. Also, there is a USB connector for charging devices, which is a helpful feature in the “connected world” of today.
ENGINE
The Pulsar 220F’s engine is a 220cc single-cylinder unit mated to a five-speed gearbox. It produces 20.11 horsepower and 18.55 Nm of torque. The engine is highly regarded for its efficiency and lively personality. It also has respectable fuel efficiency.
HARDWARE
The Pulsar 220F features a double-downtube chassis, twin gas-charged shock absorbers at the back, and a telescopic fork up front. The bike is equipped with 17-inch alloy wheels covered in MRF rubber tires. Both the front and rear discs handle the braking responsibilities.
PRICE
Bajaj Pulsar 220F is Priced (ex-showroom) at Rs. 1.41 lakh. As a result, it is comparable to the Pulsar 250, which is far more advanced and well-equipped. However, the Pulsar 220F is undeniably outdated and cumbersome to handle, even though it offers an excellent price-to-performance ratio.
