Bajaj Auto has updated its Indian portfolio with the launch of the 2023 Pulsar NS200. We recently got an opportunity to test-ride the latest iteration of the motorcycle for a first-ride review. For 2023, the Pulsar NS200 has received updated hardware and new features, and you can read all about it in the detailed first-ride review of the motorcycle. Here, we bring you the best images from the first ride review of the 2023 Bajaj Pulsar NS200.
The styling has not received major changes, and the 2023 Bajaj Pulsar NS200 looks very similar to the previous iterations of the motorcycle.
The design comprises a single-pod headlight with twin DRLs, matching graphics for the headlight cowl, a fibre fuel tank with a 3D logo and shrouds that give the unit a muscular look, split-style seats, a two-piece pillion grabrail, an underbelly exhaust, and 17-inch alloy wheels that feature the same pattern as the Pulsar N250.
While the styling remains unaltered, the 2023 model benefits from upside-down front forks that give the motorcycle a more muscular look.
The feature list, too, isn’t very different from its predecessors, and the 2023 Pulsar NS200 continues to use a semi-digital console that comprises an analogue tachometer and a compact digital display.
However, the console on the 2023 model now shows real-time fuel economy and distance to empty figures. Other information available on the digital display comprises two trip meters, an odometer, a fuel gauge, and a gear position indicator.
The mechanical specifications remain unaltered as well, and the 2023 Pulsar NS200 retains the 199cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled motor that delivers a maximum output of 24.1bhp at 9,750rpm and a peak torque of 18.7Nm at 8,000rpm.
The hardware comprises upside-down front forks and a preload-adjustable rear mono-shock to handle suspension duties.
The braking hardware includes disc brakes on both wheels while the safety net now comprises a dual-channel ABS instead of a single-channel unit on the previous version.
The 2023 Pulsar NS200 has been priced at Rs. 1.47 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). It rivals the likes of the TVS Apache RTR 200 4V and Hero Xpulse 200T 4V in the Indian market.
