Bajaj Pulsar 220 DTSi Street fighter (bikini fired)

After the success of pulsar from BAJAJ family they come with new Pulsar 220 S.It looks like p 200 with same firing, split seating and with silencer.

But  there is no much bigger changes in the p 220 S there is no change in the rear view.  Just they have changed the front firing ,the front head light cowl, The mirror  which is mounted on the handle bar,changes in  sticker and have only pulsar and 220  sticker on the tank and side fenders.The head lamp doesn’t have the projectors  which was there in the pulsar 220 DTS-i.

But the good thing is that they have reduced weight of new 220 s that is 3 kg compared to the old p 220 and they have also reduced the price of 3000 rupees for new p 220 S by making it bikini firing Pulsar 220 S.You all may think that what The S stands for here is that the  S stand for street.

By reducing the 3 kg of weight that is by removing the front firing which was in p 220 F that makes easy on ride and to balance  in the cities. They slightly improved the performance  of the engine that is by reducing the weight of 3 kg. So that engine can pull bit easily when compared to p 220 F. And we can expect  some changes in fuel efficiency because by reducing the weight of p 220 S, so that there may be a slight improvement in the mileage.

If you go for black colored p 220 S It comes with black engine,black fork,handle bar,rear grab rail,black rear shocks and swing arm. There is no change in engine  it remains same with 220 cc, 21 bhp,19.12 Torque,and 32 m carburetor. When it comes to the price of P 220 S it may be around 75000 rupees.
