Pulsar is a major hit in the market and you know that it comes in
four variants. It had created a huge stir in the Indian automobile
market in its initial launch year, 2002. The four variants include Pulsar 150 DTSi, Pulsar 180 DTSi, Pulsar 200 DTSi and Pulsar 220 DTSi. Believe me, Pulsars are designed for guys that love high-speed action on road.
Looks and Styling: Bajaj Pulsar 180cc is elegant in
its looks with aerodynamic shape. It has a flush-fitted tail lamp and
thank GOD no tail lamp protuberances. The bike has an LCD speedo and
tachometer console. It’s the fuel tank of Pulsar 180cc that gives the
muscular shaped body to it. . The tank of Pulsar extends downwards
touching the engine head almost.
The black styling provides the bike a sleek as well as subtle
aggression. It has a scanty dashboard layout and has a lighter yet
stronger alloy wheels that call for low maintenance, as it wouldn’t
rust. Switches are convenient for use and there is a tacho; a beam
flasher. The posture of Bajaj Pulsar 180cc is so flexible and the bike
has a proportionate blend of style and functionality. On the whole, the
bike is good in its looks, feel, handling as well as mileage.
Performance: Bajaj Pulsar DTSi has a
throttle-actuated ignition control system that works together with a
chip-controlled digital capacitor discharge ignition system and this
gives accurate ignition time under any condition that in turn optimizes
the load-bearing capacity of the engine. The dual-spark design
accelerates and evens out flame propagation resulting in more efficient
combustion and thereby resulting in a greater performance. The newly
designed exhaust complies with the EURO 2005 norms. The 180cc engine of
Pulsar delivers maximum power of 16.5bhp @ 8000 rpm and a torque of
15.22Nm @6000 rpm. ExhausTEC technology improves torque of the engine.
The engine is powered to carry higher loads.
The stronger alloy wheel coupled with a long wheelbase of 1330mm
enhances the stability of the bike and also makes it more agile. One can
sit with ease on the bike. Shock absorption is quite good and
vibrations are reduced to minimum. The engine is improved with a stable
chassis, a new design magnesium alloy wheel and Nitrox shock absorbers,
rear suspension with triple-rated springs are some noteworthy features
of Pulsar 180cc.
The Nitrox or nitrogen-assisted rear gas shock absorber and the
triple-rated springs are meant to handle extreme road conditions and
terrain. The pillion seating is comfortable and the bike provides a
mileage of about 45-50kmpl.
The fuel efficiency is decent if not astounding running 45-50 km per
every liter of fuel. The acceleration of this bike is excellent and
linear and enough power on all the gears. The gearing for the first two
gears is short that enables the bike for fast changes and good
acceleration. The clutch system is improved than the older version. The
neat silencer routing ensure the minimum number of turns for exhaust
gases while the all-chrome upswept silencer is mounted parallel to the
rear sub-frame gives a sporty look.
Final Verdict: The Bajaj Pulsar 180 is a
package for young brigade and is a powerhouse with sensational 125kmph
top speed. The bike performs well at all speeds and cornering is
something commendable. The bike using Digital Twin Technology Ignition
(DTSi), Ignition with Digital CDI, Twin Spark Plugs and a
third-generation Throttle Responsive Ignition Control System should
never let you down as you carry your honey!
