Bajaj Auto, a leading manufacturer of two-wheeled and three-wheeled vehicles in India, has launched the 2021 edition of its Pulsar RS200 in Malaysia. With its new color palettes and intricate graphics, the Pulsar RS200 looks more captivating than ever. The refreshed design is specifically intended to attract younger riders, ensuring the bike’s place in their hearts.
Aesthetics and Appearance
The Pulsar RS200 sports a dynamic and athletic look, now available in three fresh colors: Pearl Metallic White, Pewter Grey, and Burnt Red. While the first two colors have a glossy finish, the Burnt Red is rendered in matte. A notable feature is the white alloy wheels paired with all three shades. Additionally, the bike showcases a Pulsar logo on its seat covers. Carbon-fiber stickers on the front and rear fenders give it a premium appeal. Aside from these design tweaks, the bike retains its iconic structure.
Engine Details
Discussing the engine, the new Pulsar RS200 is powered by a 199.5 cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine. This engine, equipped with triple spark plugs, 4-valve technology, and electronic fuel injection, delivers a power of 24.5 PS at 9,750 rpm and a peak torque of 18.6 Nm at 8,000 rpm.
Key Features
When it comes to features, the Pulsar RS200 doesn’t disappoint. The front of the motorcycle boasts telescopic forks, while the rear features a gas-charged monoshock suspension. For braking, it uses a 300 mm disc brake in the front and a 230 mm disc brake in the rear. Safety hasn’t been compromised as the bike is fitted with a single-channel ABS system.
Pricing and Popularity
Bajaj introduced the Pulsar RS200 to the Malaysian market back in 2017. Over the years, its popularity in Malaysia has surged significantly. In India, the ex-showroom price of this motorcycle stands at INR 1.52 lakhs. In contrast, it begins at RM 9,990 (approximately INR 1.74 lakhs) in Malaysia, indicating that Bajaj offers it at a more competitive price in its home market.
