Bajaj Pulsar 220F ABS spied

- Gets a single-channel ABS unit.

- Sports new decals and graphics.

- Likely to be launched early next year.

After the updated Bajaj Dominar 400 and Pulsar 150 ABS were spied recently, the Pulsar 220F ABS has been spotted testing.

The bike does not get any changes in its bodywork and continues with the semi-fairing with vertically stacked headlamps. However, it does appear to sport new graphics. The most important upgrade is the inclusion of an ABS system; likely to be a single-channel unit. This is similar to the one used in the RS200 and NS200 which are priced higher than the standard Pulsar 220F. 

While the bike will continue to be powered by the 220cc, single-cylinder engine that produces 21bhp and 19Nm of torque, the motor is likely to be BS-VI compliant. Bajaj is expected to launch the bike early next year, just before the ABS norms are enforced in India. It will be priced at a premium of Rs 10,000 to Rs 12,000 from the standard bike which retails at Rs 95,424 (ex-showroom,Mumbai).
