2009 BAJAJ PULSAR 220 DTSi REVIEW


"Pulsar - definitely male", Don't you remember this caption? The introduction of Pulsar in the Indian market was a revolutionary leap for the Bajaj autos. The Pulsar was the 1st 150cc bike in the premium segment. Pulsar's victory made Bajaj one of the top two wheeler manufacturers in India. Though many other models were introduced in the market by Bajaj, none of them could get the demand equal to that of Pulsar. Bajaj continued to improvize the Pulsar series and many successors came for the Pulsar 150. First came the Pulsar 150 DTSi, then came Pulsar 180 DTSi, then Pulsar 200 DTSi and so on. This year Bajaj introduced another successor, Pulsar 220 DTS Fi. Then came the "Fastest Indian" Pulsar 220 DTSi. Bajaj hasn't disappointed the Pulsar fans. The new Pulsar also comes with outstanding features. Want to know more???

Design & Styling

The new Pulsar 220 DTSi and Pulsar 220 DTS Fi have no visible dissimilarities. The only visible difference is the Logo name. All Pulsar features such as digital speedometer, split grab rail, clip-on handle bar, 3D logo etc are retained in the new Pulsar 220 DTSi. There is no change in the exhaust portion of the bike also. Bajaj's exhaust-tec technology is used in this model also. The silencer is also equipped with catalytic converter.
Apart from the speedometer and tachometer, the digital instrument panel also contains 2 trip meters. The Pulsar 220 DTSi has side stand indicators, hazard indicators, oil & fuel indicators as well. The Pulsar 220 DTSi also contains automatic indicators as in cars. The Bajaj Pulsar 220 DTSi is available in 4 colors:Red, Blue, Black and Silver.

Technical Specifications

The maximum power generated by the 4 stroke, single cylinder, aircooled engine is 20.71 bhp @ 8500 rpm. The maximum torque is 19 Nm @ 7000 rpm. The veturi carburetor with Carb controlled variable ignition replaces the Fuel Injection facility. The ignition is microprocessor controlled digital CDI.

The front suspension of the bike is telescopic fork with 130mm stroke. The rear suspension is trailing arm with coaxial gas assisted Hydraulic shock absorbers and coil springs. The Bajaj Pulsar 220 DTSi doesn't have kick start facility as in other premium segment bikes. Tubeless tyre and O-ring type chain are other notable features in 220 DTSi.

Drive
