Bajaj Refreshes Pulsar 220F With Full‑LED Headlight and Higher Price

The new LED projector and DRLs improve night visibility while the bike’s engine, single‑channel ABS and connectivity remain unchanged to mark a modest update rather than a full redesign.

Overview

  • Bajaj launched the updated Pulsar 220F on Thursday with a full‑LED projector headlight and integrated daytime running lights, and the ex‑showroom price in Delhi is now Rs 1.36 lakh, about Rs 8,000 more than before.
  • The update keeps the existing 220cc oil‑cooled single‑cylinder engine with roughly 20.9hp and 18.6Nm paired to a 5‑speed gearbox, so performance and drivetrain are unchanged.
  • Safety and convenience hardware remain the same with single‑channel ABS, telescopic front forks, twin rear shocks, a Bluetooth‑enabled digital cluster and turn‑by‑turn navigation.
  • Bajaj revised the colour palette to four options — Black Gold, Black Cherry Red, Black Ink Blue and Black Copper Beige — and authorised dealers are reported to be taking bookings for the updated model.
  • The change answers long‑running rider requests for better lighting and keeps the Pulsar 220F in its heritage market role while industry sightings of next‑generation Pulsar test bikes suggest a separate, larger platform refresh could come later.
