Bajaj Pulsar 180 is one of the ageing bikes in the Pulsar range, after 150. However, it comes with some modern features and will soon get ABS too. It still competes with the likes of TVS Apache RTR 180.
Bajaj Pulsar series is a top choice for Indians seeking a little power and better looks over the commuter motorcycles. After Pulsar 150, the 180cc Pulsar is another infamous ageing bike.
The biggest advantage of owning a Pulsar is that you get grunty but very frugal engines. They go very light on your pocket, in terms of fuel as well as maintenance.
The latest version of 180 comes with modern fits and touches, new colour options, front and rear disc brakes, but with the same old digi-analogue instrument cluster.
But what is the exact reason that keeps it still running in the business, despite many new and modern bikes available in the same range? Let’s check that out.

It may be noted that the Pulsar 180 has always been the choice of many performance- hungry sub-200cc bike buyers. Thanks to its grunty engine and decent fuel mileage, the Pulsar 180 has always found a lot of young takers. Currently, the bike is in its 6th generation, it still looks bulky with a thrilling body. The bike is priced at Rs 83,347 (ex-showroom Delhi). As it is one of the most outdated models, it cannot rival anybody else in the 150cc or 200cc range. However, it still competes with the TVS Apache RTR 180, which is a little higher priced than this.

Bajaj Pulsar 180 Facelift Design
There isn’t a big change in the styling. While the basic design remains the same, there are some new additions. For starters, the bike now gets a rear disc brake. Also, the bike now gets a monotone paint scheme. The UG5 had a dual tone paint job. It also gets slightly changed graphics. Also, it gets Automatic On Headlamps. Once astride, you should be quick to notice that the orange backlight of the speedo console has been replaced with a blue one. Coming back to the decals, these seem to come from the updated Pulsar 220. The rims too now get a new pinstriping. Another small change is a better-bolstered seat.
