Bajaj Pulsar 220F
1. Buying experience
The Bajaj Pulsar 220F is a high-performance bike that is made for the masses. It looks pretty much the same as its BS4 counterpart. The noticeable changes in this new edition are to the exhaust system and fuel mechanism. For the latest edition, instead of the carburetor, Bajaj includes the fuel-injection mechanism and the exhaust system has been improved. It manages to adhere to the new carbon emission regulations without regressing to advanced and high-end technology. Some feature changes are visible in relation to emission norms such as a larger catalytic converter, EVAP, and redesigning of the exhaust manifold.
2. Riding experience
The Bajaj Pulsar 220 F has a powerful engine and with the tough top-end, this bike can maneuver well through extended highways. The technical arrangement allows the bike to sprint from 0 to 60 kmpl in only 3.80 seconds and hit a maximum of 144 kmpl speed. While speeding down on the highways, the bike’s quarter fairing allows it to deflect the strong wind to ensure a smoother and comfortable riding experience. The fuel tank has a maximum capacity of 15 litres and provides ample range especially on long hauls. This bike is a good commuter and is incredible for long rides.
3.design ,looks, performence etc.
The sports-inspired Bajaj Pulsar 220 F is geared up with incredible aerodynamics along with an amazing semi-fairing which contributes to its premiumness. The bike’s front profile is carefully furnished with a black visor and twin projector headlights alongside the dual rear-view mirrors. The windshield is big and the headlamp is edgy. The exhaust muffler of the bike has a matte black touch and the bright reflective graphics on its rim differentiate it from Bajaj’s previous models. The instrument cluster of the bike comes with a fibre surround of faux carbon and a blue backlight display. It is informative and easy to rear, consisting of a digitised trip meter, fuel gauge, odometer and speedometer, while the tachometer has analogue functionality. The bike’s clip-on handlebar comes with an electric start, pass switch, self-cancelling blinkers and engine-kill switch. The fuel tank is sharply crafted, having a capacity of 15 litres to ensure comfortability on long hauls. The sporty seat is well-padded for delivering high-end comfort. Coming to the rear, the LED tail light and the split grab-rails are ultra-stylish.
The Bajaj Pulsar 220 F is a high-performance bike propelled by a 4-stroke, 220 cc, single-cylinder, oil-cooled, DTS-i engine coupled with a five-speed unit. The mill of the bike is tuned well to deliver 20.8 Bhp power at 8500 rpm and 19.12 Nm peak torque at 7000 rpm, making the bike one of the most powerful in its segment. The Bajaj Pulsar 220 F has wet multi plate clutches for transmitting power to the DTS-i ignition system and the rear wheel. This arrangement allows the bike to sprint from 0 to 60 kmpl in only 3.80 seconds and hit a maximum of 144 kmpl speed. The braking duties of the bike are handled by the front disc brake (260 mm) and the rear disc brake (230 mm) for enhancing the stopping power and braking controls of the 5-spoke alloy wheels. The telescopic suspension system is coupled with an anti-friction brush that has 5-way adjustability at the front profile. The rear has a Nitrox shock absorber for ensuring comfortability and smoothness on different terrains.
