The Pulsar 180 is a capable city bike piled high with smart technology for the next generation of consumers. Cheaper by far than many of its 180cc rivals, the Pulsar is excellent value for money as an outright purchase – but its poor fuel economy will put off many buyers.
The Pulsar 180’s new model is far from perfect. In particular, buyers have noted that the silence corrodes quickly, a fault that Bajaj have yet to correct. However, overall the build quality of the bike is good, performance is very strong, and it has some driver-friendly features that will appeal to many customers.
It is a surprisingly comfortable ride, given that previous Pulsar models have scored badly on driver comfort. The nitrox rear shock absorbers have a five-step adjustment setting that gives excellent riding comfort. On poor-quality road surfaces, the bike’s rear-based foot pegs offer a good knee-hold.
