2023 Bajaj Pulsar 200 NS With USD Forks – Walkaround

Thanks to Rash Gear channel, we now have a first walkaround video. For those who were expecting design modifications, are going to be disappointed. As the brand new 2023 Pulsar NS appears the identical as earlier models, sans USD front forks.

Talking of NS200, it’s the just one to get a dual channel ABS update as properly. Pulsar RS200, which is a faired model of NS200, got dual-channel ABS long again, and it was high time Bajaj offered it with its naked sibling as properly.

With USD front forks, these Pulsars look extra muscular than they already did. It nearly feels just like the Pulsar NS160 and NS200 hit the gym and are actually flexing their triceps.

With USD forks, the thicker part of the forks is now on top and has a greater surface area to clamp with the frame. This provides better clamping force, making the frame more cohesive.

In Brazil, Bajaj is providing larger 33 mm USD front forks with NS200 and smaller 31 mm USD forks with NS160. We can expect the same technique with India-spec models as properly.

By providing dual-channel ABS on Pulsar NS200 along with USD front forks, Bajaj is taking the fight to TVS Apache RTR 200 4V. Check out the Pulsar USD forks walkaround video below.

Since it’s 2023, we hoped Bajaj would provide some new features with this update. Features like Bluetooth connectivity with smartphone integration and GPS-guided turn-by-turn navigation.

Or LEDs as an alternative of halogens, maybe adjustable front suspension (provided on Apache 200 4V) and the likes. However that doesn’t appear to be the case. What we do get is an updated instrument cluster which now shows gear position.

Pulsar NS160 nonetheless retains the 160.3 cc single-cylinder unit as before. Coupled with a 5-speed gearbox, it’s able to developing 17.2 PS of power at 9000 RPM and 14.6 Nm of torque at 7250 RPM.

NS200 then again is equipped with a 199.5 cc liquid-cooled engine making 24.13 bhp of power at 9750 RPM and 18.74 Nm of torque at 8000 RPM.

Pricing for the updated Pulsar NS160 and NS200 are more likely to go up by Rs. 5,000 to Rs 10,000. Current versions value Rs. 1.25 lakh and Rs. 1.4 lakh each respectively. (prices ex-showroom).
