"Pulsar - definitely male", Don't you remember this caption? The introduction of Pulsar in the Indian market was a revolutionary leap for the Bajaj autos. The Pulsar was the 1st 150cc bike in the premium segment. Pulsar's victory made Bajaj one of the top two wheeler manufacturers in India. Though many other models were introduced in the market by Bajaj, none of them could get the demand equal to that of Pulsar. Bajaj continued to improvize the Pulsar series and many successors came for the Pulsar 150. First came the Pulsar 150 DTSi, then came Pulsar 180 DTSi, then Pulsar 200 DTSi and so on. This year Bajaj introduced another successor, Pulsar 220 DTS Fi. Then came the "Fastest Indian" Pulsar 220 DTSi. Bajaj hasn't disappointed the Pulsar fans. The new Pulsar also comes with outstanding features. Want to know more???

The new Pulsar 220 DTSi and Pulsar 220 DTS Fi have no visible dissimilarities. The only visible difference is the Logo name. All Pulsar features such as digital speedometer, split grab rail, clip-on handle bar, 3D logo etc are retained in the new Pulsar 220 DTSi. There is no change in the exhaust portion of the bike also. Bajaj's exhaust-tec technology is used in this model also. The silencer is also equipped with catalytic converter.
