Bajaj Auto has announced the launch of the 2023 Pulsar NS200 in the Indian market, and the latest iteration of this 200cc motorcycle benefits from updated hardware and improved rider aids. Here we list the top five highlights from the Indian launch of the 2023 Bajaj Pulsar NS200.
What’s new on the 2023 Bajaj Pulsar NS200?
The biggest update on the 2023 Bajaj Pulsar NS200 includes the addition of upside-down front forks instead of the telescopic units on the previous version. The rear, on the other hand, continues to use a preload-adjustable rear mono-shock. Then, while the motorcycle retains single disc brakes on both wheels, the company has added a dual-channel ABS to the 2023 model, thus further enhancing rider safety. Lastly, Bajaj Auto has also revised the instrument cluster on the 2023 model. While it retains a semi-digital console, the LCD on the 2023 model now shows real-time fuel efficiency and a gear position indicator.
Is the styling different on the 2023 Bajaj Pulsar NS200?
The styling remains unaltered, and the 2023 Pulsar NS200 continues to feature a single-pod headlight with twin DRLs, matching graphics for the headlight cowl, fibre fuel tank with a 3D logo and shrouds that give the unit a muscular look, split-style seats, two-piece pillion grabrail, underbelly exhaust, and 17-inch alloy wheels. The colour choices include Metallic Pearl White, Glossy Ebony Black, Satin Red, and Pewter Grey paint themes. The new paint themes are accompanied by updated graphics that give the motorcycle a refreshed style.
Have the mechanical specifications changed on the 2023 Bajaj Pulsar NS200?
Just as with the styling, the mechanical specifications remain unaltered too, and the 2023 Pulsar NS200 continues to use the 199cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled motor with four valves and three spark plugs. Linked to a six-speed gearbox, this engine produces a maximum output of 24.1bhp at 9,750rpm and a peak torque of 18.7Nm at 8,000rpm. Do note that this motor is OBD2-ready and has all the necessary hardware.
What features does the 2023 Bajaj Pulsar NS200 pack?
The feature list is still far away from the competition such as the TVS Apache RTR 200 4V and the Hero Xpulse 200T 4V. But Bajaj Auto has tweaked the instrument cluster to now display a gear position indicator and real-time fuel economy figures. However, the console still packs a semi-digital display while other features include a halogen headlight with twin DRLs, conventional-style turn indicators, backlit switches, and an LED taillight. Also, as mentioned earlier, the motorcycle now gets a dual-channel ABS instead of a single-channel unit on the previous version.
What is the price of the 2023 Bajaj Pulsar NS200, and are there multiple variants?
The 2023 Bajaj Pulsar NS200 is available in a single variant and comes standard with a dual-channel ABS. The braking setup includes a 300mm single disc at the front and a 230mm rear rotor. The 2023 Pulsar NS200 is priced at Rs. 1,47,347 (ex-showroom Delhi).
