Design
As soon as you gaze at the Pulsar NS 200, you are made aware this bike is designed to rule. The powerful and menacing look, the disassembled projector headlamp arrangement and the chiseled fuel tank together form the ideal street-fighter silhouette. The open body parts and the pointed rear end are among the characteristics that contribute to its striking road presence. The unmistakable LED taillight and the elegant alloy wheels are the aspects that support its sporting character. The tilted exhaust pipe adds a luxurious feel to the bike and lends it a vibrant personality that corresponds with the rider’s mood.
Price
The strategic pricing is one of the factors that has contributed largely to the popularity of the NS 200. Despite the incorporation of high-performance specific hardware, the NS 200 has been made very affordable by Bajaj. The different variants of the bike are priced between ₹1.32 lakh to ₹1.66 lakh (ex-showroom), thus, making the NS 200 one of the most affordable sports bikes in India in terms of overall performance. Riders can get the variant that is most suitable for their style and budget without having to give up features or power.
Features
Technology has always been the aspect where the Pulsar NS 200 shines, and the latest model is no exception. The digital-analog instrument console displays riding information such as speed, fuel level, gear position, trip meter, and more. The LED headlight provides excellent visibility at night, and the dual-channel ABS with front and rear disc brakes gives maximum confidence in stopping. Nitrox-tuned suspension and tubeless tyres provide stability during high-speed rides as well as daily commutes.
Engine
The core of Pulsar NS 200 is the place where all the powers come from. It gets its power from the 199.5cc single-cylinder, 4-valve, oil-cooled DTS-i engine which not only gives crisply responsive throttle but also strong power delivery across the rev range. It generates 24.5 PS and 18.6 Nm it still i.e. box in terms of power. However, the performance is such that the bike still gives a 35–40 km/l mileage which is ideal for daily riders. The 6-speed transmission is simply a delight providing tapered and smooth acceleration as well as cruising on the long roads getting done in no time.
Riding
The NS 200 is built for no other reason but the pure riding fun. Comfort and sportiness have been well balanced with 37 mm telescopic front forks and Nitrox monoshock rear suspension. The riding position is engaging but at the same time, relaxed, making it suitable for all sorts of rides i.e. daily city traffic, weekend highway rides, and even hill runs. It has a seat height of 807 mm which means it should be okay for most riders and at the same time, it would not be a problem for the pillion to ride comfortably along.
