JAMMU, Sept 20: Bajaj Auto today displayed its latest Super Sport Pulsar RS200 and Pulsar AS at Wave Mall Jammu.
Bajaj Auto has recently launched the 2015 Pulsar RS 200 and Pulsar AS 150 and 200 in Jammu. The Pulsar RS 200 is available in two colours – yellow and red at its Authorized Dealer Jammu Motors (P) Ltd, B C Road, Jammu.
The RS 200 shares everything under the skin with the 200 NS but still emerges as a completely new bike with a lot more to offer. It takes its design inspiration from the 400 SS showcased at the Auto Expo last year and is a miniaturized version in every sense. Sporting a completely new design language, the RS 200 gets an imposing front fascia that looks every bit aggressive with the dual headlight design that are equipped with projector lamps and LED DRLs. The LED turn indicators look sleek and are similar to the ones on the KTM Duke. At the sides, the full fairing gets razor sharp lines accentuated by the colour scheme while the tail section gets floating clear lens LED tail lights that look quirky and stand out from the ones seen otherwise.
A first for the Pulsar lineup, Bajaj has equipped the RS 200 with Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) a safety feature available in only high end bikes. Its engine is powered by the same 199.5cc single-cylinder, 4-valve, triple-spark, liquid-cooled engine that now comes equipped with fuel injection and has power bumped to 24.5 PS at 9750 RPM and 18.6 Nm of torque at 8000 RPM.
The Pulsar RS 200 is capable of achieving a top speed of 141 km/hr, making it by far the fastest Pulsar to have been produced by the company. Bajaj claims a fuel efficiency figure of around 54 km/l on the RS 200.
The Pulsar RS 200 has been pitted against the Yamaha R15 and the Honda CBR150R in the segment, but at this price point is a more affordable offering amongst its rivals.
