New Bajaj Pulsar 180cc Review

Bajaj has given a new look to its 180cc variant of the Pulsar and christened it as ‘The Phantom,’ with the support of online pulsar fans. The new Bajaj Pulsar 180cc is rolled to give a competition to the new TVS Apache RTR Menace 180. Surprising the Pulsar fans the news of the new Bajaj Pulsar 180cc comes in less than a week’s time after the TVS pronounced of the Apache Menace launch.

Pulsars has always been a hit in the market, and this time the new-look Pulsar 180cc is available in blue and limited editions of orange color with lots of similarities to its sibling Pulsar 200cc. The orange color; however is an inspiration picked from the Kawasaki models.

The changes in this upgraded version of the new Bajaj Pulsar 180cc mentioned hereunder:


In terms of looks, all parts right from forks to engine reflect black matte finish, carrying the legacy of the successful black theme. However, the fork assembly at the front measures 37mm and is stouter than the earlier version. The handle bar is clip on, a feature quite resembling that of Apache RTR. The side panels of the bike are redesigned to reflect sleeker look with more aggressive rear end. The LED tail lamps in the new Bajaj Pulsar 180 cc are the latest in the Indian Bike industry. Additionally, an orange colored digital instrument console will appeal the bikers. There is an analog tachometer dash, an easy-to-read speedometer.

What’s more? Backlit switches and self-turn cancel indicators, which are new features in the 180cc segment of bikes in India.

In terms of performance, the power is a little upped as compared to the earlier version. The new Bajaj Pulsar 180cc model generates 17.02PS at 8500 rpm. The clutch system is improved further and the acceleration is great. The gear system is unchanged, but the engine is equipped with an all-new airbox, and retuned exhaust TEC and new cam timings.

The ignition in this new Pulsar 180cc model is through battery with no kick lever. However, the model gets a new O-ring chain and sprocket. The fuel efficiency is close to 48-52kms/liter even in high traffic zones, a small improvement from the 45 to 50kms per liter mileage given by its forerunner.

The new Pulsar 180cc reflects a similar look with the 200cc variant in terms of the split grab rail and split seats. The wheelbase is 25mm longer than the existent one implying there will be greater stability on twists and turns of the road and also makes the bike more agile than its earlier model.

The box section swing arm of the new pulsar 180cc is similar to the one in Bajaj 220cc with larger forks in the front. However, the kerb weight has gone up by 4 kgs from 143 to 147. Again, the tank has not gotten any modifications and does not sync with the aggressive rear end. Maybe it should have been more edgy. The model does not have rear disc brakes and it should have come as an option. Additionally the engine must have been a DTS-Fi.

All in all, the new Bajaj Pulsar 180cc will be great if you take value for money. This is because you get all new additional features packaged together at same price.

    Can u guys tell when it going to be launched!

  2. Nathan says:

    Are we talking about the Phantom which was already launched or are we talking about the incredible Phantom yet to be launched in a weeks time ?
    Its great to see that new Bajaj Pulsar 180cc model generates 17.02PS at 8500 rpm. I love the change in mileage from 45-50kms/liter to 48-52kms/liter even in harsh traffic zone. I love the back shape as it looks like a shark tale lamp. I wonder when this shark will be released into the water.

  3. Prabhakar says:

    hey guys are u sure abt the mileage… ? 48-52 kmpl… ?

    • deepak says:

  4. Prachin says:

  5. Kumar says:

    thats what the company says I guess 48-52 kmpl but even if its around 40 kmpl it shud be good enough!

  6. yashwant gupta says:

    Can u tell when it going to be launched the new bajaj pulsar 180 cc

  7. Subhamoy says:

    Itz dazzling.i think one should not go for 200 or 220.he should go for only 180cc because the blend of those 2 are there in this model.

  8. rocky says:

    Just yesterday i bought the bajaj pulsar 180cc it’s just a combo of both pulsar 200 and 220 cc,the handle bar looks like pulsar 220 handle and the entire look will be of pulsar 200cc,bike lovers will surely have the fun while riding this bike

  9. sarav says:

    rate enna mama

  10. Black Hawk says:

    when in comparison to 200cc ,M just concerned about the silencer.. that was what gave the 200cc the unique profile look. other that that the 180cc sounds a gr8 deal.

  11. Ravi says:

    Yesterday i bought dis amazing bike i ever had in my life .. I m very much happy with de pickup of dis bike . looks r unique nd best in his class bikes……..

  12. Rahul says:

    Can u say the price of the bike,and what is the mileage it is giving now..

  13. Sonudmrc says:

    Any help me pls, i m planning to buy this bike but is feared if there wl be great problem in starting bike, in case electric start fails

    • Ashwani kumar says:

      there will b no problem , Bajaj has been giving only self start in 200 from past 2 n half years. don worry this self start is not the 1 which u get in activa or in kinetic…
      “BUT” u can face the problem with self start “ONLY” if u don use ur vehicle for months.. at that time its battery dischages
      Remember:::::::: every time u go for a ride ur battery always automatically gets charged up…
      So don worry … Dont give second thought , bike is gerat, anyday>>>>>

    • Ashwani kumar says:

      if in any case ur self start does not work,drag ur bike put the bike in 1st gear and leave the clutch…… this funda always work , whether its a scooter or a super bike…..

    • adhish says:

      i m goin to buy this new pulsar 180 in few days. but i have littile doubt on its mileage. can u tell me right mileage???

  14. Gaurav says:

    i just bought this bike last week
    its fun to drive because of increased power also wider tires provides better traction and changed Handel bar provides easy handling in traffic.

    gear and break lever are like sports bike and millage is also good. before first servicing i got around 50KM/Liter.

    two step seat has changed look drastically also bike is little bit heavy but altogether its a better deal.

  15. ashwin says:

    i get a mileage of around 48-51 consistently in the city riding conditions and in the highways it increases to 53-55 at an average speed of about 60-70… more than the impressive mileage, engine refinement of this bike has taken it to astounding heights.. which is very different 4m all other bajaj motorbikes including 200 n 220…
    but riding comfort has taken a beating in city conditions as the manouvering has become somewhat awry,but in highways riding comfort switches to another level has the handling and stability of this bike is really excellent even at the speeds of over 100kmph..
    yet as a bajaj fan i want them to enhance the engine refinement and overall quality of their bikes even further to reach the top..

    • Jatin patel says:

      hiiiiiiii
      is der any problem in self-start in pulser-180…. in monsoon??????

    • amogh says:

      i have booked the new pulsar 180 and on 26th of june im gonna get my love after a long waiting period as the colour blue is not in stock i am just going crazy behind this bike can u tell me the negative and positive points of this bike plzz help

      • Ashwani kumar says:

        lot of positive points as u might have read through other reviews. i feel the only prob with 180,200 and 220 is sitting position for the person who sits at back,,,,, always pain in the knees , as the foot rest is fixed very much upwards..
        also for the rider longer distances without breaks gives the pain in knees and in thighs….

  18. Deepak says:

    Hi frnds,
    I’m going to buy a new pulsar, but I’m little confuse about the upgraded model of Pulsar 180 or 220cc…
    which is the best?
    I want mileage, look and power all in one.

    I’m waiting for your reviews.

    Thanks

    • Ashwani kumar says:

      no fuel injection in 220 cc this time, so mileage always a question in 220 cc, company says new 220 gives the same mileage without fuel injc, also…
      but it is still a doubt….. but lookswise 220 always wins…
      accordin to me 180 is best deal anyday

  19. rakku chaudhary says:

    hii me rakku chaudhary frm chd.. college going boy. i just bought 180 cc pulsar.. its damn cool bike…and lookis awesome.. i had karizma.. but i like 180 cc pulsar most .. coz of its smooth driving and gud milage…and also great greak look.. its look like big machine… i donyt knw exext milage of this bike coz i bought it only yesterday…i think it will give me 45 kmlp coz my frnd saurabh had 180 cc pulsar he is saying its milage is 45 near in the city…

  20. ravi kant thakur says:

    after getting reserve in fuel then how can we check the fuel avilable

  21. jaikishan kanojia says:

    what’s the difference between new pulsar 180 and pulsar 200.

    I am waiting your answer ?

    • Ashwani kumar says:

      first of all , obivously the 20 cc difference.the exhaust in 200 is very much appealing. but the handle in new 180 cc is simply awesome… Really great experience to ride with those handles similar to 220 cc.
      new 180cc is 17.02 bhp and 200 was i think 18 bhp…
      the looks r very much similar of both bikes, but expert eye can always differentiate.(200 has broader exhaust,and the handle diffrence)

      • mahesh says:

  41. Amit patil says:

    Guys, need your serious input. I want to buy the 180cc but I am dissapointed with the new seating posture (by sending the footrest towards back)..It’s again like 200cc. I fear I’d get a back pain. I heard this from few of the 200cc owners. Always sitting in the bent position is bound to throw in chronic back pain. I was very confortable riding my friend’s Year 2007 model 180cc. New 180cc owners: request you to give your feedback. Riding continuosly for more than 2 hrs – will it make a difference wrt back ache?..

    • prashant says:

      dear amit, i’m also planning to buy this bike. i also wondering because of the riding posture but when i took the test drive, i came to know that it’s riding posture is much much better than that of 200. infect it’s also better that appache180 or 160. with appache u have to sit in more bending position. previously i also drove pulsar200 so i also thought so. it’s because of what i think the split handle in 180cc which was single bar in 200cc. u just do one think go and first drive apache180 & then drive pulsar180cc u will definitely fell the difference.

    joss byk…i like it..

  44. Anand says:

    I just got this RED 180 Beast yes`day . Itz simple awzome ! Pulsar 220 is merely waste for its price , im sure one will be happy with the power and mileage offered by 180cc . but jus Drive sensibly :) Happy Holidays!

  45. Anand says:

    I bought my beast in Sri Vinayaka Motors,Kachiguda, Hyderabad. Costed Rs71613 (On Road Price). They gave me accessories free of charge, i didnt like the helmet they offering,so took without helmet. Overall im happy with the deal :)

  46. rajat pepe says:

    i think this bike is best in its segment …………………… i owned this bike it is awesome……………………………pulsar 180 rocks………………..all other ………………………..sucks

  47. Sunil Verma says:

    Hi All.
    The best bike on Indian Road, by far and all is the Pulsar 180cc Bike .
    Why Race it with other bikes to prove a point .
    Roll ur marbles ,go through the stats, performance and feedback people give .
    To name a few, the bike has following featues.
    >G4 borrows the box section swingarm from its elder sibling pulsar 220cc
    >UG4 model comes with clip on handles as it is in p220.
    >UG4 has come up with split seat which extra comfort on ride.
    >It has fabulous tank scoops
    >UG4 has come up with tubeless tyres; which is one of the good features to compete with other bikes in premium bikes segment.
    UG4 – Front tyre 90/90 X 17, Rear tyre 120/80 X18 In UG4 (1345mm), wheelbase has increased compare to UG3 (1320mm).
    >UG4 also gets a new rear sprocket and the O-ring chain
    >UG4 comes with thicker front fork which is 37mm
    >UG4 comes with only self start. No more kicks needed.
    Now many people have Phobia regarding this
    eg:-will it work in cold conditions,bla bla bla
    if u dont trust technology , then why ride machines
    understand the concept of 12V DC
    >Total kerb weight of UG4 is 147kg
    last not the least
    the great feature of p180 UG4 is that power of the engine which is figured 17.6 BHP

    So apart from looks it has awesome features.
    Mileage >
    ride it at 60-65 will give u aveg of 47-55km/Litre
    ride it at 65-85 will give u 40-45km/ L
    85 and above it gives U 35+km/ L

    tested and proved on my bike
    Woundering which bike is it
    Its Pulsar 180cc UG IV Jan 2010 Model
    Imp> It all depends on ur luck as well.

    all parts are asembled at the factory level itself, however it also depends on the way it has been assembled.
    every Machine has a Zero Error.,iam sure U must be knowing this fact
    what iam trying to say is no two sets of bikes can perform exactly the same.
    at all levels .

    yes there are engineers assisgned to take care of such things , but but but
    i actually spoke to one of them , dont wanna name him Or share his identity .

    So bottomk line everyone loves his /her own bike , and tries to prove a point to other , however i would say , even TVS and Hero Honda produce good bikes.

    End of the day , its how u handle the machine

    Good-Luck…!!!

    • ASHU.B. says:
