Bajaj Pulsar NS200 gets 5-inch TFT, ride modes at Rs 1.60 lakh
The Story in Brief
Bajaj Auto has updated the Pulsar NS200 with a 5-inch TFT console that mirrors Google Maps, electronically controlled throttle body (ETB) based ride modes, and traction control. The 199.5cc engine now produces 25.15hp, up from 24.16hp. The front fork has been enlarged from 33mm to 37mm, and the rear tyre is now a 130/70 R17 radial. The bike is priced at Rs 1.60 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi).
The update also adds a Panic Brake Alert, adjustable levers, a USB Type-C charging port, and a hazard switch. The old LCD display has been replaced. Bajaj has not disclosed the number of ride modes or the torque figure for the updated model. The company claims it is the most feature-loaded motorcycle in its segment but did not name any rivals.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The Pulsar NS200 update targets riders who want electronic rider aids like traction control and Google Maps navigation in a sub-200cc street bike. The power increase is modest at about 4 percent, so the real change is in the electronics and chassis hardware. Bajaj has left two key details unspecified, the number of ride modes and the torque output, which dealers will need to clarify during test rides. The Rs 1.60 lakh price positions it between the NS160 and NS400Z, and the value depends on whether a buyer prioritises engine and handling over convenience features like the TFT and switchable traction control.
