Should I buy the Pulsar 220F?
The Bajaj Pulsar 220F is a famous commuter sports bike. It is aimed at young customers who want performance on a budget. Its bigger dimensions and powerful engine performance offer an exciting riding experience. However, it looks and feels outdated now in front of the competition. Also, it doesn’t get the latest features like LED lights and connected tech. If you love its design then buying it makes sense else rivals offer better.
- It is undeniable that the Pulsar 220F looks amazing in the flesh. The bike seems bigger than the photos and it attracts a lot of attention as well. Its unique front fairing with projector headlight looks equally good. But, it is now outdated in every way. Bajaj should change its design radically now.
- The overall quality as well as fit and finish are above average. It has some areas that feel low-cost. Cost-cutting is evident throughout its build. However, the paint quality is nice on it.
- The split seats of the Pulsar 220F are quite comfortable. The cushioning is nice and the riding position is upright. It feels comfortable to sit and you can easily ride it for long hours.

| Ground Clearance | 165 mm |


- The 220cc DTSI oil-cooled engine of it is punch-packed. The bike has good low-end torque and it feels responsive to ride in the city at low speeds. However, its mid-range is the highlight of this engine. You can easily pull the bike from as low as 50 kmph to 100 kmph in top gear.
- Vibrations are well controlled from it and the heating is also negligible in traffic.
- The 5-speed transmission is slick to use in the city but on the highway, it feels short-geared. This engine demands a longer 6-speed transmission on the highways.
- The ride quality is very comfortable and soft. The suspension is tuned for comfort. So, with a rider on the back, it bottoms out over sharp bumps and potholes. In a straight line, it performs well and remains calm yet confident.
- Handing of it is made for straight-line high-speed riding. Inside the city, the long turning radius doesn’t help. Also, around sharp corners, it doesn’t feel as confident as rivals.
Pulsar 220F engine specifications:
| Transmission | Manual |
| Mileage | 40 |
| Engine | 164.82 cc |
- The Bajaj Pulsar 220F lacks a lot in terms of features. It gets an old semi-digital instrument console that displays basic info only. It doesn’t get LED lights or Bluetooth connectivity.
- The twin-projector headlight setup looks good and the light has widespread throw. The intensity of the headlight could’ve been better.
- Bajaj offers disc brakes on both ends of the 220F. The brake bite is strong and it inspires confidence in the rider. However, it only gets a single-channel ABS in terms of safety equipment.

Latest Updates on Pulsar 220F
Bajaj Auto launches the updated 2025 Pulsar 220F in India at Rs 1.28 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi), featuring dual-channel ABS and refreshed graphics with four new colour options including Black Cherry Red and Green Light Copper. The motorcycle retains its 220 cc air/oil-cooled single-cylinder engine with around 20 PS and 18.5 Nm, paired to a 5-speed gearbox, along with a Bluetooth-connected LCD instrument cluster and sleek LED turn indicators. The long-running Pulsar 220F continues to combine classic sport-touring appeal with modern safety and cosmetic upgrades to stay relevant in the segment.
The updated Bajaj Pulsar 220F starts arriving at dealerships across India ahead of its official launch, signalling a near-term rollout likely at major events like India Bike Week 2025. This refreshed version gains dual-channel ABS, updated graphics with contrasting rim stripes, and sleeker LED turn indicators while continuing with the same proven 220 cc powertrain and semi-faired design. The revised styling emphasises a sportier look with new colour highlights and carbon-fibre-style side panel touches, boosting overall road presence before its formal market debut.
The 2024 Bajaj Pulsar 220F gets an update and is priced at Rs 1.41 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi) on dealer price lists, now featuring a new digital instrument console similar to the unit on the Pulsar N160. The negative-display console offers Bluetooth connectivity with turn-by-turn navigation support and modern readouts. Apart from the upgraded dash, the bike retains its 220 cc DTS-i fuel-injected engine and core mechanicals, while dealers begin stock arrivals with this refreshed spec package.
Bajaj Auto relaunches the 2023 Pulsar 220F in India at an ex-showroom price of ?1.39 lakh, reviving the iconic semi-faired sports bike for enthusiasts. The motorcycle retains its 220 cc air/oil-cooled single-cylinder engine with around 20 PS and 18.5 Nm, paired to a 5-speed gearbox, while cosmetic updates include new graphics and refreshed styling for renewed appeal in the mid-capacity segment. The relaunch aims to attract buyers seeking classic Pulsar performance with modern touches and strong brand recognition. No major mechanical upgrades are introduced beyond the visual refresh and pricing positioning.
Bajaj Auto discontinued the legendary Pulsar 220F in India after a long run of about 15 years, marking the end of its production in the classic 220 cc sports category. The iconic semi-faired bike, known for its strong performance and mass appeal, is phased out as Bajaj shifts focus to newer models like the Pulsar F250, which serve as its spiritual successor. With the 220F no longer in production, dealers gradually clear remaining stocks, and the model is no longer listed on Bajaj’s official lineup.
