The older 180 DTS-i has been at the summit of its segment for a while now with little competition to hold a candle to its all-round value. Now, things just got better with the dawn of the new Pulsar.
With its spectacular, unmatched style statement, gorgeous 17-inch, six-spoke rims, gas-damped shock absorbers and a slightly sharper engine, what more could any buyer ask for? While prices have yet to be finalised, Bajaj Auto can safely be trusted to be more than competitive.
So there you have it. Until such time as Bajaj's competitors pull up their socks and charge into this high-end segment with better hardware, the new Pulsar wins our vote for being India's best all-round sportsbike — with absolute ease!
