The NADA AutoShow 2009, which will run at the Bhrikuti Mandap Exhibition Hall till Wednesday, features the new upgraded version of Bajaj Auto´s performance bike in the very popular Pulsar family. Bajaj Auto calls this the fastest bike made in India -with a top speed of 144 kmph. It says the bike can go to a speed of 60 kmph from standstill in 4.10 seconds and to a speed of 100 kmph from zero in 7.11 seconds.
The bike is no longer called DTS-Fi, as Bajaj has replaced the fuel injection system for which the ´F´ stood for. Fuel to the new Pulsar 220´s Digital Twin Spark Ignition (DTS-i) engine is delivered through a carburetor instead of the fuel injection system used by its predecessor. The new P220 also has a temperature based ignition mapping system and auto choke.
Maximum power delivery of the P220 has gone up from 20.06 Ps at 8,500 rpm of the previous ones to 21.04 Ps at the same rpm in the upgraded version. While peak torque has remained the same at 19.12 Nm, the rpm at which it peaks has gone up to 7,000 from 6,500.
The upgrade´s forks, swing arm, alloy wheels and engine have got an all-black treatment. Other changes include 3D chiseled logo, clip-on handle bars and also a redesigned console background.
Hansraj Hulaschand has priced the new Pulsar 220 DTS-I at Rs 219,900.
