The BS6 Bajaj Pulsar 220F started reaching
dealerships last month. Now, it has been launched for a price of INR 1.17
lakh*. The BS6 Pulsar 220F is powered by an upgraded 220 cc 2-valve, DTS-i
single-cylinder engine. Bajaj Auto has replaced the carburettor of the
oil-cooled engine with a fuel-injection system. The company has also fitted a
revised catalytic converter. In its BS6 state of tune, this mill produces 20.4
PS of maximum power which is 0.5 PS lesser. The peak torque output is the same
- 18.55 Nm. Like the BS4 bike, the BS6 bike has a 5-speed transmission.
The Pulsar 220F continues to have the same
set of features that we have seen in the past. Features like the projector
headlamps, semi-fairing with laser edge graphics, 3D ‘Pulsar’ logo on the
15-litre fuel tank, split seats, engine cowl, blacked-out engine, bulky
exhaust, dual-LED taillights, semi-digital instrument cluster, etc. have been
carried forward.
The cycle parts also have remained
changed. The suspension duties are handled by telescopic forks at the front and
5-way adjustable Nitrox shock absorbers at the rear. A 280 mm front disc brake
and a 230 mm rear disc brake manage the braking with the help of single-channel
ABS.
At INR 1,17,286*, the new BS6 Pulsar 220F
is around INR 9,000 more expensive than its BS4 counterpart, which costs INR
1,08,326*. The colour options are the same - Black/Blue and Black/Red.
