Bajaj Pulsar 180

A legend in the 180cc category, the Bajaj Pulsar 180 has always been a popular choice among riders looking for a balance between power and economy. Updated to meet the latest emission norms, this version retains its iconic appeal while incorporating important tweaks to maintain its competitiveness in the market.



Design and Styling
The Bajaj Pulsar 180 retains its aggressive and muscular design, reflecting the bike's sporty intentions. Its prominent fuel tank, chiseled fairing, and sharp tail section ooze aggression. The black/red and black/silver colour options enhance the bike's sporty appeal and lend a touch of freshness to the model.

Performance and Handling
The Pulsar 180 comes powered by a 178.60 cc, 4 - stroke, SOHC 2-Valve, Air Cooled, BSVI Compliant DTS-i Fi Engine. It produces a maximum power of 17.02 PS at 8500 RPM and a peak torque of 14.52 NM at 6500 RPM. The torque is well-spread throughout the rev-range, which results in a better low and mid-range power delivery, making the Pulsar 180 a delight in city traffic as well as on highways.

The bike's weight at 151 kg doesn't affect the bike's agility. The bike is easy to handle in traffic, thanks to the short wheelbase of 1345 mm. The ground clearance of 165 mm ensures you can take on most obstacles and speed breakers without worrying about scraping the underbelly.

Ride Comfort and Ergonomics
Comfort on the Pulsar 180 is well catered for by a telescopic front suspension with Anti Friction Bush and a 5 Way Adjustable, Nitrox Shock Absorber at the rear. These ensure that the bike remains stable and comfortable over a wide range of road conditions.

The seating position is fairly upright, reducing rider fatigue on long rides. The seat itself is broad and comfortable, offering ample support for the rider and pillion.

Brakes and Safety
On the braking front, the Pulsar 180 features a 280mm disc brake at the front and a 230mm disc brake at the rear, providing excellent stopping power. The bike's braking setup is responsive, offering good bite and feedback, enhancing the rider's confidence when riding at high speeds or during emergency stops.



Electricals and Features
The Pulsar 180 features a 12V Full DC MF battery. The headlamp is a 35/35 W unit with 2 pilot lamps, equipped with AHO (Auto Headlamp On) feature, enhancing the visibility for the rider. The tail lamp is an LED unit which is bright and improves the bike's visibility to other motorists.

Price
The ex-showroom price in Delhi is Rs. 1,07,904, which given the overall package and the performance it offers, presents itself as a valuable proposition for anyone looking for a powerful yet affordable sports commuter.

Conclusion
The Bajaj Pulsar 180 combines sporty performance, excellent ride comfort, and impressive styling at an affordable price. It's an excellent choice for riders seeking a versatile bike for city commutes and occasional long rides. With its power-packed performance and iconic appeal, the Pulsar 180 continues to uphold its reputation in the Indian two-wheeler market.
