Bajaj Pulsar 180 Discontinued In India?
The 180cc sporty commuter is nowhere to be found in brand’s official website
Bajaj Auto appears to have discontinued the Pulsar 180 in India, as the motorcycle has been removed from the brand’s official website. While there has been no formal announcement yet, the move strongly hints that the iconic sporty commuter has reached the end of its road, at least for now.
Why Has Bajaj Discontinued The Pulsar 180?
As of now there is no clear reason why the manufacturer has done so, but one reason could be that amongst the current Pulsar lineup, only the Pulsar 220F and the 180 was remaining to receive the rewamp treatment which the other Pulsars got. The new Pulsar 125 and Pulsar 150 cater to entry-level buyers, while the Pulsar N160 SS offers a more modern and sportier package. Those looking for more performance can opt for the Pulsar NS200, while the more accessible Pulsar N250 SS also makes a strong case for buyers wanting a bigger engine. The lineup still has room for the 180 to fit in and with the new-gen update Bajaj Auto has got scope to make that bike even nicer.
Until now the Bajaj Pulsar 180 was powered by a 178.6 cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine producing 17 PS at 8,500 rpm and 15 Nm at 6,500 rpm, paired with a 5-speed gearbox. It featured a telescopic front fork and twin gas-charged rear shock absorbers. Braking duties were handled by a 280 mm front disc and a 230 mm rear disc. The bike had a kerb weight of 156 kg and a 15-litre fuel tank.
BikeDekho Says
The Pulsar 180 has been an important part of Bajaj’s history, but its discontinuation isn’t particularly surprising. With newer Pulsars offering better technology, more performance and a wider choice of body styles, the 180 was simply out-gunned and in desperate need for an update. That said, Bajaj Auto has been a brand which loves to revive discontinued models, and just like that the Pulsar 180 too could make a comeback soon.
