    Best bike in this segment. You never ever complain about power. But if your heart has come on 180. 180 is good enough for doing both city as well as highway runs. Spares are not a concern, after 16 years of being in market and me owning a 150 for 10 years. I have found spares and merchandise at almost all desolate places I have toured too.

  • If your going to buy then read it.

    3 years ago


    Pulsar

    30000 km run already, non abs, less service cost and less maintenance, 40 to 45 mileage, good tyre life , back tyre still have (euro grip), power full engine, still no breakdowns, smooth riding in 60 to 80 speed, sudden pick up is so easy to over take,
    design and body weight is awesome, not good for over speed riders, rough riding above 85 continually, gear shifting little not smooth, main disadvantage is once you buy this bike next time you will not look other company bikes.
    You will like to take again 180 only(Because less maintenance good engine and transmission)

  • Low maintenance cost powerful stylish bike

    2 years ago


    Kalyan Pal

    This pulsar 180cc bike i have purchased on April , 2016. The total run is almost 11000km till April 2022. The buying experience was very smooth. I have it from pulsar showroom, bennaraghatta, bangalore. The riding experience is very smooth and comfortable. I personally like the look very much. Servicing I have done previously on time for the beginning 2 years, after that last 4 years no servicing done, but the bike runs smoothly, so maintenance cost is very low. Only the original battery that came with the bike runs for only one year. After that I changed the battery and purchased Exide 4 yrs one, this battery is still running well for 5 years.

  • Pulsar 180 review

    2 years ago


    Gaurav Tripathi

    1.Pulsar 180 is costly.. Before 18 plus please don't buy it.
    2.It has 4 stroke dtsi engine which gives good acceleration with mileage of 37 km/h
    3.Look is good, having 5 gear,135 km/h is normal and fine.
    4.1st servicing in 500 to 600km in 1st month.
    5. Sound, power is nice, but safety is ok but not good..

    Tips for other riders

    1. Always clean your bike. 2.check your brakes. 3.maintain battery.

  • Remember 180 DTS-i from 2005?

    3 years ago


    Suman Roy

    I have this gentle giant since 2005 and at that time the on road price came upto 80,000/- INR. All in silver color and has never let me down still! Lowest maintenance cost and parts are available "Anywhere". I am still getting a mileage of around 50 per litre and in todays date, based on the rising fuel cost, this is super economic. Both the front and rear suspensions are still stock! Imagine a bike manufactured in 2005 and still running strong! Of course regular service is a must to maintain any vehicle and yes, no repair jobs done ever on this bike as i have always believed in replacing rather than repairing. This has also perhaps given a better life to this love of my life! I have used this for touring, daily commute etc. The instrument cluster is not digital and this is a very strong point of this bike. Also, no LED's present makes the battery being used only for necessary activities. Overall, my experience with this bike, right from riding posture, riding comfort to service availability has been really good! Rest assured, i will never exchange or sell it unless this is ready to be scrapped. Overall and awesome experience with Bajaj 180 DTS-i! Cheers!!

    1 year ago


    K Chetan

    I bought this beast in 2014 I never got any type of disappointment while riding. Every day I use to challenge myself with other bikes and heavy vehicles because you won't feel to ride this bike at 40 to 50 kmph you feel that it should be above 80 +plus, I am very lucky to have such a superpower bike in my college life and it will be memorable every time to me a lot of love to this beast from me...

  • A 6 year user review

    1 year ago


    Varun Chaudhary

    Wanted it since my school days, and bought it in 2016.
    1. Bought it for Rs.89,970/-
    2. The first was smooth as all new bikes give.
    3. Always had been a fan of naked looks, the bikini fairing was the best version.
    4. Talking about the performance and other things, the performance is decent, I got a mileage of 55kmpl in the first 3 years, but later on due to negligence of service center people the bike did not get what it needed and the mileage fell to 40 km but it's fine after 6 years it's a good one for pulsar 180. The power was always great.
    Maintenance - first few services were cheap but later due to poor service network and negligence of service center mechanics of Bajaj the cost went up and up. But it was okay as its a street bike, that too in the 180cc segment it's fine. But Bajaj focuses on earning from spare parts and after-sale services hence it could've been a better experience but nvm Pulsar is love.
    In 6 years I've replaced the chainset twice, the front tyre twice, the front shocker rod once, clutch plates once, (I ride hard :p)
    The rear tyre thrice, the lock set once, the con set once, handlebar keeps on getting loose but the handling is sharp and fine. Overall I spend approx 10k on services and spare parts last year i.E. 2022,
    I've completed 54000 kms on it, which pretty decent in 6 years
    Pros and cons
    Pros - better fuel efficiency than Pulsar 220
    Power is great
    The looks are killer
    Maintenance is low compared to others in the segment.
    Parts are cheap in the aftermarket.
    The engine is powerful and has better-built quality compared to others in today's time.
    Cons
    Poor bajaj services
    Costly parts if u buy them from the agency.

    Tips for other riders

    Always go for MRF tyres of same grip which comes when u buy it. Always use genuine and Authorized engine oil. Never replace the exhaust Instead of changing the chain set when it makes sound first check and clean it from every corner, open it and clean the area ( especially near the left side footrest area, i hope u understand what i meant)

    Pulsar

    30000 km run already, non abs, less service cost and less maintenance, 40 to 45 mileage, good tyre life , back tyre still have (euro grip), power full engine, still no breakdowns, smooth riding in 60 to 80 speed, sudden pick up is so easy to over take,
    design and body weight is awesome, not good for over speed riders, rough riding above 85 continually, gear shifting little not smooth, main disadvantage is once you buy this bike next time you will not look other company bikes.
    You will like to take again 180 only(Because less maintenance good engine and transmission)

  • Low maintenance cost powerful stylish bike

    2 years ago


    Kalyan Pal

    This pulsar 180cc bike i have purchased on April , 2016. The total run is almost 11000km till April 2022. The buying experience was very smooth. I have it from pulsar showroom, bennaraghatta, bangalore. The riding experience is very smooth and comfortable. I personally like the look very much. Servicing I have done previously on time for the beginning 2 years, after that last 4 years no servicing done, but the bike runs smoothly, so maintenance cost is very low. Only the original battery that came with the bike runs for only one year. After that I changed the battery and purchased Exide 4 yrs one, this battery is still running well for 5 years.

  • Pulsar 180 review

    2 years ago


    Gaurav Tripathi

    1.Pulsar 180 is costly.. Before 18 plus please don't buy it.
    2.It has 4 stroke dtsi engine which gives good acceleration with mileage of 37 km/h
    3.Look is good, having 5 gear,135 km/h is normal and fine.
    4.1st servicing in 500 to 600km in 1st month.
    5. Sound, power is nice, but safety is ok but not good..

    Tips for other riders

    1. Always clean your bike. 2.check your brakes. 3.maintain battery.

  • Remember 180 DTS-i from 2005?

    3 years ago


    Suman Roy

    I have this gentle giant since 2005 and at that time the on road price came upto 80,000/- INR. All in silver color and has never let me down still! Lowest maintenance cost and parts are available "Anywhere". I am still getting a mileage of around 50 per litre and in todays date, based on the rising fuel cost, this is super economic. Both the front and rear suspensions are still stock! Imagine a bike manufactured in 2005 and still running strong! Of course regular service is a must to maintain any vehicle and yes, no repair jobs done ever on this bike as i have always believed in replacing rather than repairing. This has also perhaps given a better life to this love of my life! I have used this for touring, daily commute etc. The instrument cluster is not digital and this is a very strong point of this bike. Also, no LED's present makes the battery being used only for necessary activities. Overall, my experience with this bike, right from riding posture, riding comfort to service availability has been really good! Rest assured, i will never exchange or sell it unless this is ready to be scrapped. Overall and awesome experience with Bajaj 180 DTS-i! Cheers!!

  • A 6 year user review

    1 year ago


    Varun Chaudhary

    Wanted it since my school days, and bought it in 2016.
    1. Bought it for Rs.89,970/-
    2. The first was smooth as all new bikes give.
    3. Always had been a fan of naked looks, the bikini fairing was the best version.
    4. Talking about the performance and other things, the performance is decent, I got a mileage of 55kmpl in the first 3 years, but later on due to negligence of service center people the bike did not get what it needed and the mileage fell to 40 km but it's fine after 6 years it's a good one for pulsar 180. The power was always great.
    Maintenance - first few services were cheap but later due to poor service network and negligence of service center mechanics of Bajaj the cost went up and up. But it was okay as its a street bike, that too in the 180cc segment it's fine. But Bajaj focuses on earning from spare parts and after-sale services hence it could've been a better experience but nvm Pulsar is love.
    In 6 years I've replaced the chainset twice, the front tyre twice, the front shocker rod once, clutch plates once, (I ride hard :p)
    The rear tyre thrice, the lock set once, the con set once, handlebar keeps on getting loose but the handling is sharp and fine. Overall I spend approx 10k on services and spare parts last year i.E. 2022,
    I've completed 54000 kms on it, which pretty decent in 6 years
    Pros and cons
    Pros - better fuel efficiency than Pulsar 220
    Power is great
    The looks are killer
    Maintenance is low compared to others in the segment.
    Parts are cheap in the aftermarket.
    The engine is powerful and has better-built quality compared to others in today's time.
    Cons
    Poor bajaj services
    Costly parts if u buy them from the agency.

    Always go for MRF tyres of same grip which comes when u buy it. Always use genuine and Authorized engine oil. Never replace the exhaust Instead of changing the chain set when it makes sound first check and clean it from every corner, open it and clean the area ( especially near the left side footrest area, i hope u understand what i meant)

  • Great all rounder

    3 years ago


    Ajay

    Best bike in this segment. You never ever complain about power. But if your heart has come on 180. 180 is good enough for doing both city as well as highway runs. Spares are not a concern, after 16 years of being in market and me owning a 150 for 10 years. I have found spares and merchandise at almost all desolate places I have toured too.
