Bajaj Pulsar 180F Highlights

The Bajaj Pulsar 180F BS6 a.k.a the Bajaj Pulsar 180F Neon BS6 has been launched in India. It's available for a price of Rs 1,07,827 compared to the BS4 model which retails at Rs 96,390 (both prices ex-showroom, Delhi). More details in our launch story here.

Powering the Pulsar 180F BS6 is a 178.6 air-cooled fuel-injected BS6-compliant motor which churns out 17.02PS (same as the BS4-compliant version) and 14.52Nm (up by 0.3Nm), coupled with a 5-speed gearbox.

The Pulsar 180F BS6 employs the same underpinnings as the Pulsar 180F BS4 but it comes with a 20mm larger (280mm) front disc. The rest of the underpinnings remain unchanged, though. It gets a double downtube frame, a conventional front fork and twin gas-charged rear shock absorbers. The rear comes with a 230mm disc. A single-channel ABS as standard. The kerb weight has gone up by 5kg, at 156kg.

In terms of design, it's a faired variant of the discontinued naked Pulsar 180. The new Pulsar 180F looks identical to the larger Pulsar 220F but can be distinguished by its slightly different colour scheme and smaller exhaust can. With the Pulsar 220F’s fairing, the bike also gets a projector headlamp setup that offers better illumination at night. The Pulsar 180F BS6 competes with the TVS Apache RTR 180 BS6.
