Bajaj Auto has launched the BS6-compliant Pulsar 180 naked roadster in the Indian market. The motorcycle has been priced at Rs 1,04,768 (ex-showroom, Mumbai). The BS6 model is currently listed in a single colour option – Black Red.

The styling cues include a single-pod headlight with twin DRLs and a tinted visor at the front. The cockpit includes the latest, semi-digital instrument cluster. Other design details include a muscular fuel tank with shrouds, an engine cowl, split-style seats, and two-piece pillion grab rail.

Mechanical specifications and cycle parts will be similar to the Pulsar 180F. Thus, the naked roadster is powered by a 178.6cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine that produces 16.7bhp at 8,500rpm and 14.52Nm of peak torque at 6,500rpm. The motor is linked to a five-speed gearbox.

The suspension tasks are handled by telescopic forks at the front and gas-charged twin springs at the back. Anchoring duties are performed by a 280mm single disc at the front and a 230mm single rotor at the rear. The safety net is provided by a single-channel ABS.

The new Pulsar 180 BS6 rivals the Honda Hornet 2.0, TVS Apache RTR 180, and the likes.
