Bajaj Pulsar 180F Launched For Rs 86,500

Bajaj has given the Pulsar 180 its biggest update in a while. The 2019 version of the bike will now be available with a half fairing akin to the one seen on the Pulsar 220F. For this, it has received a new price tag of Rs 86,500 (ex-showroom Pune), making it around Rs 1,500 more expensive than the standard model. Speaking of which, Bajaj will continue to sell it alongside the faired version.  

Along with the half fairing, the Pulsar 180F will also get the twin vertically stacked projector headlamps from the Pulsar 220F. Further updates include the neon colour graphics that we’ve just seen on the recently updated Pulsar range. Considering the 1 April 2019 deadline we expect Bajaj to introduce an ABS variant of the Pulsar 180 and 180F soon.

And that’s where the changes end. Its expected to carry the same engine and mechanicals as the standard model. Which means powering it is the same 178cc single-cylinder engine as before, churning out 17PS of power and 14.2Nm of torque, mated to a 5-speed transmission.

Underpinnings too are expected to be unchanged, with a 260mm disc at the front and a 230mm unit at the back. Suspension duties continue to taken care of by telescopic forks at the front and dual shock absorbers at the back. While we don’t have the exact figures yet, expect it to weigh a little more due to the addition of the half fairing.

This update will make the Pulsar 180 the only half-faired motorcycle in its segment, something which will help set itself apart from its competition like the TVS Apache RTR 180.

While dealers in Pune haven’t given us a clear confirmation, Bajaj dealers in Mumbai have started accepting bookings of the motorcycle for a token of Rs 1,000. We expect it to be launched sometime in February.

Breaking Down BS6 Carburettors And Fuel Injection Explained

  It’s now been nearly 4 months since BS6 emission norms came into effect, and almost all the bikes and scooters sold in India have been updated to meet the stricter regulations. Most recent among these to receive the updates was the TVS Scooty Zest BS6 , which was launched a couple of days ago at Rs 58,640. Like all the BS6 updates we’ve seen so far, this new version is more expensive than its BS4 predecessor, by around Rs 6,000 in this case. And the biggest reason behind these price hikes is the addition of a fuel-injection system. So what exactly is it? And how did bikes work before fuel-injection came into the picture? Let’s take a look: To understand why a fuel-injection (FI) system is needed, we first need to understand its predecessor: the carburettor. Both FI and carburettors do the same job: mixing air and fuel in the correct proportions before it’s sent into the engine. The diagram above shows a carburettor’s layout. Air enters at the top, flows through a narrow con...

Royal Enfield Classic 350 ABS Launched At Rs 161 lakh

Rumours of an ABS-equipped Royal Enfield have been doing rounds for quite some time with many stating that the entire range would get only single-channel ABS, barring the Royal Enfield Himalayan, the upcoming Interceptor 650 and Continental GT 650 . However, all those rumours have been slammed by the heritage classic bike manufacturer.

Honda HNess CB350 Same Price Other Options

  Watch Video Review     Honda has finally entered the retro segment dominated by Royal Enfield with its very own offering, the H’Ness CB350 . Expected to be priced at approximately Rs 1.90 lakh, the roadster has a lot going for it and is already creating waves in the two-wheeler industry. But if you still feel the CB350 isn’t the bike for you, you could have a look at the following options around the same price bracket.    Royal Enfield Classic 350 Stealth Black: Rs 1,86,319 Royal Enfield enthusiasts could stick to the bike that has pretty much been the backbone for the brand. Sure, the Classic 350 isn’t as powerful as the CB350, or as feature-rich, or as err… reliable, but it still has the thump -- if that’s what you’re looking for. Also, without all the fancy gizmos it’s as pure as pure can get -- a classic retro motorcycle!    Husqvarna Svartpilen, Vitpilen 250: Rs 1,84,768 The Swedes, on the other hand, have a different take on “neo-...
