Bajaj 2023 Pulsar NS200 Bike Review

Bajaj 2023 Pulsar NS200: Introduction

The Bajaj Pulsar NS200 2023 is a high-performance streetfighter bike that has recently received its most significant update. It is powered by a 199cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine that produces 24.5PS at 9750 rpm and 18.7Nm at 8000 rpm.

The engine is mated to a six-speed gearbox. The bike is intended to achieve a claimed mileage of 37kmpl and to meet BS6 Phase-2 emissions standards.

The NS200 has a bold streetfighter design and is available in four eye-catching paint schemes:

Ebony Black, Pearl Metallic White, Cocktail Wine Red, and Pewter Grey are available. It has a halogen headlight with pilot lights and a semi-digital instrument panel that displays important information such as speed, fuel level, odometer, and trip metre readings.

The 2023 model now includes a slightly modified console with a distance-to-empty readout, a real-time mileage indicator, and a gear position indicator for added convenience.

The bike has a perimeter frame, a 33mm inverted fork, and a Nitrox (gas-charged) monoshock for suspension. A 300mm front disc and a 230mm rear disc with Grimeca callipers provide braking capability. Dual-channel ABS is standard for increased safety. In Delhi, the ex-showroom price starts at Rs. 1.49 Lakh.

Bajaj 2023 Pulsar NS200: What’s New

Several significant updates have been made to the 2023 Bajaj Pulsar NS200:

Inverted Fork: The new 33mm inverted fork is the most noticeable change on the NS200.
ABS with Dual Channel: Bajaj has also included dual-channel ABS.
Grimeca Callipers on Disc Brakes: The petal discs with ByBre callipers have been replaced with 300mm front and 230mm rear circular disc brakes with Grimeca callipers (the same diameter as before).
New Console: The refreshed model now includes a slightly modified console with a distance-to-empty readout, a real-time mileage indicator, and a gear position indicator for added convenience.
BRAND-NEW COLOUR SCHEMA: The bike is available in four colours: Ebony Black, Pearl Metallic White, Cocktail Wine Red, and Pewter Grey. A new red and white colour scheme is also available.
BS6 Phase 2 Compliant: The updated model is expected to achieve a claimed mileage of 37kmpl and to meet BS6 Phase-2 emissions standards.
Price: In Delhi, the ex-showroom price starts at Rs. 1.49 Lakh.

These updates are intended to improve the riding experience and keep the bike competitive in its class.

Bajaj 2023 Pulsar NS200: Engine And Performance

A 199cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine powers the 2023 Bajaj Pulsar NS200. This engine is paired with a six-speed gearbox, allowing for smooth and efficient power delivery at various speeds. At 9750 rpm, the engine produces a maximum power output of 24.5PS. Because of the high power output, the bike has excellent acceleration and top speed, making it suitable for city commuting and highway cruising.

In terms of torque, the engine has a maximum torque of 18.7Nm at 8000 rpm. Torque is the force that propels the bike forward, and a high torque output at lower rpm indicates that the bike can accelerate quickly from a stop or at low speeds. This makes the NS200 responsive and enjoyable to ride, particularly in city traffic with frequent stop-and-go.

The updated model is expected to achieve a claimed mileage of 37 kmpl. Because of its high fuel efficiency, the NS200 is a cost-effective option for daily commuting. Despite its high performance, the bike does not sacrifice fuel efficiency, a testament to the engine and gearbox’s efficiency.

Finally, the engine in the NS200 meets BS6 Phase-2 emissions standards. This means it complies with the most recent and stringent emissions regulations, making it an environmentally friendly choice. The bike’s conformity to these standards also ensures it can be ridden in all areas, including those with stringent emissions regulations.

Finally, the Bajaj Pulsar NS200 2023 provides an impressive blend of power, performance, efficiency, and environmental friendliness, making it an excellent choice for motorcycle enthusiasts.

Bajaj 2023 Pulsar NS200: Bike Ride Review

The Bajaj Pulsar NS200 2023 provides an exciting and engaging riding experience. It’s still bold and raw and prefers to be ridden hard. Its appetite for apexes has increased dramatically as the front end feels more settled and lighter to steer. The steering effort required to move the bike from side to side was minimal, possibly comparable to the KTM Dukes.

Under heavier weight, the mono-shock tune felt a little squishy, requiring a bump up in the preload to feel settled around the bumpy sections of the track. In practice, however, the default settings feel balanced. The lighter steering makes it easier to manoeuvre through congested areas.

The updated brakes provide excellent feedback at the levers and significantly improved stopping power. There’s also dual-channel ABS, which works quietly in the background.

Overall, it’s still the most thrilling naked Pulsar you can get your hands on, and with these updates, things only get better.

Bajaj 2023 Pulsar NS200: Price

The Bajaj Pulsar NS200 2023 costs Rs. 1.49 lakh. This is the price ex-showroom in Delhi. The on-road price is Rs. 1.76 Lakh, including insurance and registration costs. Please remember that prices may differ depending on the city and any additional features or accessories. Always check with local dealers for the most accurate and up-to-date pricing information. The bike has many features and performance capabilities, making it a good buy at this price point.

Bajaj 2023 Pulsar NS200: Pros And Cons

Pros:

Performance: The NS200 is powered by a 199.5cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine that produces 24.5PS at 9750 rpm and 18.7Nm at 8000 rpm. As a result, it is a high-performance streetfighter.
Handling: The bike has a perimeter frame, a 33mm inverted fork, and a Nitrox (gas-charged) mono-shock for suspension. This, combined with the 17-inch alloy wheels wrapped in tubeless MRF Nylo-grip Zapper FY2 tyres, ensures a stable ride.
Gearbox: The NS200 has a six-speed gearbox, which is useful on the highway.
Brakes: It has a 300mm front disc and a 230mm rear disc with Grimeca callipers. Dual-channel ABS is standard for increased safety.

Cons:

Design: The NS200’s design is now considered out of date.
Features: The bike needs more adequate features. It comes with a halogen headlight with pilot lights and a semi-digital instrument panel, but that’s about it.
Lack of Dual-Channel ABS: Despite having ABS, it is not dual-channel, which is a flaw.
No Improvement in Performance: The 2023 model has no performance advantage over its predecessors.

Bajaj 2023 Pulsar NS200: Conclusion

The 2023 Bajaj Pulsar NS200 is a high-performance streetfighter with a thrilling ride. Its 199.5cc engine, six-speed gearbox and strong suspension make it a strong performer on city streets and highways. The addition of ABS improves its safety profile.

However, the NS200 has its challenges. Its design, which seemed new and exciting then, now appears dated. The bike also needs some of the advanced features that modern motorcycle riders have come to expect. Another point of contention is the need for dual-channel ABS.

Despite these flaws, the NS200 remains popular among riders, prioritising performance and handling overlooks and features. Its affordable pricing adds to its allure.

Finally, the 2023 Bajaj Pulsar NS200 is a capable motorcycle with good performance and handling. While it lacks design and features, its strengths make it a viable option for those looking for a high-performance streetfighter.
