With it being the first bike in India to have Rear Disc brakes and fuel injected. It has changed the complete look of the biking world in India.
Here are some Technical Specifications of the bike that you would like to know........


Vehicle Specifications
Name :- Pulsar 220 DTS-Fi

Pulsar's 220cc oil cooled, Digital Twin Spark Fuel Injection (DTS FI) engine produces an awesome power of 20PS at 8500rpm (though not comparable, pulsar 220cc is more powerful than thunderbird) and an incredible torque of 19.12Nm at 6500rpm. Bajaj’s well proven exhausTEC (to beef up low-down power) features in pulsar 220cc too. Pulsar 220cc features the standard five speed gearbox with one down and four up pattern. Oil cooler placed just below the fuel tank helps in further cooling of engine lubricant and keep this high performance engine cool.

Pulsar 220cc is the most stylish bike available in India. Though it resembles its siblings in most sense the voluminous front fairing and the fairing mounted mirrors distinct the pulsar 220cc from others. Surely another eye catcher from Bajaj through pulsar 220cc with six spoke alloy wheels, stylish body panels, clear lens indicators, exposed chain and the diff. Like its family members, in pulsar 220cc except for the tachometer, everything else including fuel gauge, speedometer, odo and two trip meters finds place in the orange glow of the digital read.

The stepped seat is adequately padded for both rider and pillion and ends in a smart two-piece grab bar. Pulsar 220cc DTS FI offers a little under-seat storage cubby that can be unlocked via a cable release located under its lockable side panel. A massive stainless steel and alloy silencer adds a zing to the pulsar 220 along with the generous use of alloy for its rims, steering head, footrest-mounts and fuel-filler lid. The only bike in Pulsar 220's segment is Hero Honda Karizma R with 223cc engine which develops 17bhp at 7000rpm with 1.87kgm of torque at 6000rpm.

Pulsar 220cc DTS FI is offered in silver, blue and red. Pulsar 220cc DTS FI is priced at Rs. 81, 280(ex-showroom price as in october,2007) in Delhi.
