has given the its biggest update in a while. The 2019 version of the bike will now be available with a half fairing akin to the one seen on the . For this, it has received a new price tag of Rs 86,500 (ex-showroom Pune), making it around Rs 1,500 more expensive than the standard model. Speaking of which, Bajaj will continue to sell it alongside the faired version. Â
Along with the half fairing, the Pulsar 180F will also get the twin vertically stacked projector headlamps from the Pulsar 220F. Further updates include the neon colour graphics that we바카라™ve just seen on the recently updated Pulsar range. Considering the 1 April 2019 deadline we expect Bajaj to introduce an ABS variant of the Pulsar 180 and 180F soon.
And that바카라™s where the changes end. Its expected to carry the same engine and mechanicals as the standard model. Which means powering it is the same 178cc single-cylinder engine as before, churning out 17PS of power and 14.2Nm of torque, mated to a 5-speed transmission.
Bajaj Pulsar 220F for reference
Underpinnings too are expected to be unchanged, with a 260mm disc at the front and a 230mm unit at the back. Suspension duties continue to taken care of by telescopic forks at the front and dual shock absorbers at the back. While we don바카라™t have the exact figures yet, expect it to weigh a little more due to the addition of the half fairing.
This update will make the Pulsar 180 the only half-faired motorcycle in its segment, something which will help set itself apart from its competition like the TVS Apache RTR 180.
While dealers in Pune haven바카라™t given us a clear confirmation, Bajaj dealers in Mumbai have started accepting bookings of the motorcycle for a token of Rs 1,000. We expect it to be launched sometime in February.
