About Pulsar 220 F

Once looked upon as the Fastest Indian, the Bajaj Pulsar 220F is one of the most popular performance-focused motorcycles in India; so much, in fact, that it is still the choice for majority of enthusiasts looking for an affordable, sporty motorcycle.

It is powered by a 220cc, single-cylinder DTS-i engine that is BS6-compliant and fuel-injected. The motor delivers 21bhp of power and 19Nm torque and comes mated to a five-speed gearbox. Standard features on the model includes a telescopic front and a five-step adjustable, nitrox rear suspension, front and rear disc brakes and 120-section rear tyre. The Pulsar 220F has now been upgraded with a single-channel ABS system, to comply with the upcoming norms. Other features giving this bike a sporty intent are the split seats and rear grab rails, LED tail lights and clip-on handle bars.

The Pulsar 220F is now available in four Dagger Edge edition colour options including red, white, black and blue. This new series of paint schemes comprise of sleek and edgy graphics that look fancier than the older colours. The motorcycle competes against the Suzuki Gixxer SF in India.

About YZF R15 V3
The Yamaha R15 changed the 150cc segment in the Indian market the way the CBZ did when it was launched. It was an everyday motorcycle that could genuinely be used as a trackday tool. The second version of the R15 traded practicality for more focused performance, but the advent of the KTM RC200 meant that a far better performance was available for the sportbike enthusiasts at a similar price. The R15 Version 3.0 reduces that gap significantly with technology. On the list is now a BS6 engine with a few more ccs, but featuring variable valve timing which takes the maximum power output to nearly 18.3bhp with a peak torque output of 14.1Nm. It also gets all-LED lamps and an all-digital LCD instrument cluster that displays a wealth of information, including when the Variable Valve Actuation switches to the different camshaft profile.

While the global model gets goodies like upside down forks, the domestic version features conventional telescopic forks to keep the costs in check. The pillion seat seems to be positioned a little lower, at least visually, which should address some of the pillion complaints. The rear side panels have a Ducati Panigale-style gap which looks attractive when viewed from behind. Grab handles for the pillion have also been cleverly integrated, which was given a miss in the Version 2.0. The motorcycle features disc brakes at both ends and is now equipped with dual-channel ABS as standard equipment. Meanwhile, with the BS6 version, the motorcycle now features a radial tyre as standard for the rear, side-stand engine cut-off switch and dual-tone horns.

The R15 Version 3.0 BS6 is available in four colour shades of Racing Blue, Thunder Grey, Darknight, and Metallic Red.
