A semi-faired model, Bajaj Pulsar 220F is preferred for its distinctive styling and agile character
Pulsar 220F is one of the long-standing bikes in Bajaj’s portfolio, having been in existence for more than 15 years. The bike was once even discontinued (2022), but was relaunched in 2023, based on market feedback. In the latest development, Bajaj Pulsar 220F has received multiple cosmetic improvements. Let’s check out the details.
Bajaj Pulsar 220F – New Colours & Graphics
The new 2026 Bajaj Pulsar 220F has been launched for Rs 1.28 lakh (Ex-sh). There are four colours to choose from with refreshed graphics. Options include Black Cherry Red, Black Ink Blue, Black Copper Beige and Green Light Copper. As is evident, three of these have the base colour as black, combined with a second colour used as graphics across the front cowl, fuel tank, wheel rims, sump guard and tail section.
Pulsar 220F’s graphics have a sharper, dagger-inspired profile. These introduce a new layer of dynamism to the bike. They work to enhance the bike’s aesthetics, especially the aerodynamic semi-fairing. In terms of colour options, the one that truly stands out is the Green Light Copper. For folks who want their rides to get noticed, this is probably the one to go with.
Braking setup comprises 280 mm and 230 mm discs at the front and rear, respectively. The previous model that was relaunched in 2023 was equipped with single-channel ABS. This was considered a deal-breaker for many potential 220F buyers, which continues to be the same.
Apart from the new colours and graphics and LED winkers, there are no other major changes to Bajaj Pulsar 220F. It is one of the sportiest Pulsar bikes, featuring the distinctive and iconic semi-fairing. Other key highlights include front-cowl-mounted polygonal rear-view mirrors, curvy fuel tank, split seats and an upswept exhaust.
Performance, specs
Powering the Pulsar 220F is a 220cc, oil cooled, Twin Spark FI DTS-i engine that generates 20.9 PS and 18.55 Nm of torque. It is paired with a 5-speed constant mesh transmission. The bike has 17-inch wheels at both ends, wrapped in 90/90 front and 120/80 rear tubeless tyres. Suspension setup comprises telescopic forks at the front and 5-way adjustable Nitrox shock absorbers at the rear.
Bajaj Pulsar 220F has a kerb weight of 160 kg and ground clearance of 165 mm. Tech kit includes a fully digital reverse monochrome LCD display with Bluetooth connectivity. Users can access calls, messages and turn-by-turn navigation. The digital display comes with a clock and distance-to-empty readout as well. For user convenience, a USB charging port is offered as standard with Pulsar 220F.
Bajaj is offering the Pulsar 220F at a competitive price of Rs 1.28 lakh. With GST benefits, the price is now lower than the 2023 model, which was priced at Rs 1.39 lakh. In its price range, the Pulsar 220F is pitted against the likes of Hero Karizma XMR and Suzuki Gixxer SF 250, among others.
