Bajaj Pulsar 220 Summary
Price: Bajaj Pulsar 220 F price for its variant - Pulsar 220 F Standard starts at Rs. 1,39,061. The mentioned Pulsar 220 F price is the average ex-showroom.
Bajaj Pulsar 220 F is a bike available in only 1 variant and 4 colours. The Bajaj Pulsar 220 F is powered by 220cc BS6 engine which develops a power of 20.11 bhp and a torque of 18.55 Nm. With both front and rear disc brakes, Bajaj Pulsar 220 F comes up with anti-locking braking system. This Pulsar 220 F bike weighs 160 kg and has a fuel tank capacity of 15 liters.
After discontinuing the Pulsar 220F in India for a few months, Bajaj Auto is all set to bring back the motorcycle in the market. It has already started arriving at dealerships and select dealers are even accepting bookings for the bike. These might be indications that the official launch of the Pulsar 220F isn’t too far.
Bajaj had discontinued the Pulsar 220F in 2022 to make way for the new-age 250cc Pulsars in Bajaj’s portfolio. However, the demand for the 220 certainly hasn’t deteriorated, especially in some parts of the country like the Southern region. Now, whether Bajaj will introduce it in select markets or across India is something not yet confirmed.
As can be observed from the spy images, Bajaj hasn’t executed any visual changes to the bike. It continues to sport a half-faired design with a huge front fascia, a muscular fuel tank, and a long tail with a split-type seat. In terms of features, it will expectedly be the same as the previous bike with an LED projector headlamp, LED tail lamp, semi-digital console, and a 15-litre fuel tank.
The engine and hardware package of the Pulsar 220F will also probably be the same. It is powered by a 220cc, oil-cooled engine that produces 20.11bhp and 18.55Nm of peak torque and comes mated to a five-speed gearbox. Suspended on telescopic forks up front and old-school dual springs at the rear, the Pulsar 220F rides on 17-inch alloy wheels. Bringing this 160kg machine to a halt is a single disc at both ends accompanied by a single-channel ABS setup.
