The 2021 Bajaj Pulsar 180 has been recently spotted at an authorised dealership suggesting that it could be introduced in the market any day now. Well, today is that day. Bajaj Auto has silently launched the 2021 Pulsar 180 in India. The two-wheeler giant is asking INR 1,07,904* for the new motorcycle. The new Pulsar 180 uses the same 178.6cc single-cylinder engine which we’ve experienced in the semi-faired Bajaj Pulsar 180F. It is an air-cooled motor which features 2 valves, SOHC, and DTS-i technology. It has been tuned to produce 17.02PS of max power at 8500rpm and 14.52Nm of peak torque at 6500rpm. For the transmission, there's a 5-speed gearbox.
The suspension duties on the new Pulsar
180 are handled by a pair of telescopic forks at the front and 5-way adjustable
twin shock absorber at the rear. The stopping power comes from a 280mm front
rotor and 230mm rear rotor aided by ABS.
The styling of the 2021 Bajaj Pulsar 180
is inspired by that of the Pulsar 150 twin disc variant. There are attractive
graphics on the fuel tank extensions, front fender, and belly pan. The split
seats and split pillion grab rails add to the overall sportiness. We also have
the signature dual LED tail lamps. The red highlights on the alloy wheels are
also a nice touch. Bajaj Auto is also giving a 120-section wide rear tyre which
is supposed to provide enhanced grip as well as improve the motorcycle’s rear
look. The instrument cluster here is a semi-digital unit which displays most of
the necessary information.
The new Bajaj Pulsar 180 will lock horns
with the likes of the Honda Hornet 2.0 and TVS Apache RTR 180. The former is
available at a starting price of INR 1,28,195* whereas the latter will set you
back by INR 1,08,270*.
