Bajaj Pulsar NS200 (India)

Bajaj has been around since 1945. Today, it manufactures a wide range of not only motorcycles but also cars and other vehicles. Bajaj owns 49% of KTM's shares, and some models from the Austrian manufacturer, as well as Kawasaki, are produced at this plant. Thus, Bajaj has access to all of KTM and Kawasaki’s technologies. Today, the company offers its customers stunning world-class motorcycle equipment at very low prices.

The factory where the Pulsar 200NS is produced is fully automated. The human factor during operation is minimized. This meets the standards of not only Bajaj but also KTM, where every worker performs only what is required, virtually eliminating the risk of production errors.

The review should start with the heart of the motorcycle. The engine capacity is 200 cc, nearly identical to the one installed in a similar KTM model. The unique feature is that Bajaj engineers implemented an innovative solution: three spark plugs are installed on a single cylinder. This ensures better ignition and combustion of the fuel mixture. Additionally, the engine is economical, with two liters of gasoline sufficient to cover a distance of 100 km.

DTSi

At the heart of every Bajaj motorcycle lies a special driving force: Technology. The element that keeps all Pulsar owners ahead of the rest.

Bajaj’s patented DTS-I technology stands for Dual/Triple Spark Ignition. Essentially, the technology uses 2 or 3 spark plugs in the cylinder head combined with a digital ignition system to deliver the best performance and rapid fuel combustion, resulting in greater power and torque output while ensuring low fuel consumption.

3 SPARK PLUGS PER CYLINDER

An innovative and advanced technology designed to enhance engine performance. It contributes to greater power, high efficiency, better fuel economy, and ensures low levels of harmful emissions in the motorcycle’s exhaust. Fuel ignition occurs 27% faster than in a dual-spark engine and 50% faster than in a single-spark engine.

4 VALVES PER CYLINDER

The technology improves the quality of the air-fuel mixture formation and ensures the most complete exhaust gas expulsion, leading to increased engine power and flexibility, better throttle response, and acceleration. A 4-valve engine can operate at much higher RPMs without additional strain or resource loss.

ExhausTEC

Exhaus T.E.C. Exhaust System (Torque Expansion Chamber)
A special resonator integrated into the motorcycle’s exhaust system to boost torque at low and mid-range engine speeds, improving power delivery while optimizing fuel consumption.

Intelligent Ignition System

The intelligent capacitor ignition system continuously measures various parameters and recurring engine load, adjusting the ignition timing accordingly. The intelligent ignition system works in tandem with the TRICS III system (Throttle Response Ignition Control System) to ensure optimal ignition timing at different engine speeds, making your ride smooth and economical.

The two disc brakes deserve special mention. The ByBrembo brand indicated on the brakes is a Brembo subsidiary. This company develops high-quality brakes for motorcycles with engine capacities up to 600 cc. The motorcycle’s wheel lifts off the ground even with minimal braking, indicating the high efficiency of the brakes.

The model features a reinforced steel swingarm.
The model’s steel diagonal frame consists of stamped profiles. They are very sturdy, surpassing the tubular construction found on the well-known KTM Duke in this regard. It includes a Nitrax shock absorber with adjustable settings (you can inflate or deflate it), familiar to many motorcycle enthusiasts. The rear wheel is protected from water, and this protection is part of the standard package. The handlebars and plastics are safeguarded by special guards, which is crucial during falls. In a crash, the load is absorbed by the handlebar weights, leaving the grips and mirrors intact.

When sitting on the Pulsar NS200, the rider feels very comfortable. The soft seat is suitable for both regular rides and long trips. The passenger seat is also comfortable. Comfort during seating does not depend on height or build, making the motorcycle perfect for anyone. The dashboard has everything a rider needs. There’s a special turn signal indicator on the left that flashes when active. For safety, another indicator lights up when the motorcycle is placed on its rear stand. Naturally, the panel includes a tachometer, digital speedometer, and odometer. A useful fuel level indicator is also present, with a red light illuminating when the fuel level nears critical.

The Bajaj Pulsar NS200 can confidently be called the only motorcycle in Ukraine created with the latest technologies and available at a very low price. The model is perfect for people seeking something new, valuing reliability, and wanting to navigate urban rough terrain. Skill level doesn’t matter—you can be a professional racer or a beginner in the motorcycle world, as the engine is flexible, and the bike forgives many handling mistakes. For city riding, a single gear is enough, unless you want to accelerate quickly.

The motorcycle was designed by Edgar Heinrich. He previously worked on legendary BMW motorcycles such as the R 1100 RS, RT K1200R, R 1150GS, and R1200G.

The Bajaj Pulsar NS200 is an impressive, reliable machine for daily riding. The bike’s behavior on the road is captivating, and its fuel efficiency is a huge plus. The aggressive design will undoubtedly draw attention and leave no one indifferent to your choice.

For speed enthusiasts, you can adjust the gear ratios to achieve a top speed of 172 km/h.
