The Bajaj Pulsar 220 F ABS, priced at Rs. 4.19 Lakhs in Nepal and distributed by HH Bajaj, continues to be a cult favorite in the performance commuter segment thanks to its timeless design, thrilling power delivery, and value-driven features. Powered by a 220cc single-cylinder DTS-i engine, this oil-cooled, carbureted unit produces a robust 20.11 bhp of peak power and 18.55 Nm of torque, making it one of the most powerful bikes in its class with its BS6 Phase 2 compliant configuration. Paired with a smooth 5-speed gearbox, the Pulsar 220 can reach a top speed of up to 136 km/h, offering a perfect mix of daily usability and highway thrill. Its aggressive semi-faired design with dual projector headlamps, split seat, aerodynamic contours, and “Dagger Inspired” graphics still turns heads, while its sporty riding ergonomics and backlit switches provide a premium feel. The bike is built on a strong chassis with telescopic front forks and a 5-step adjustable Nitrox shock absorber at the rear, offering a comfortable ride, though the setup leans towards the stiffer side. With features like a part-digital instrument cluster, stylish alloy wheels, and single-channel ABS mated to a dual-disc brake setup (280mm front and 230mm rear), the Pulsar 220 strikes a solid balance between safety and performance. It also offers practical advantages such as a 38 km/l mileage, chain drive, and a wide network for affordable spare parts and service availability across Nepal. While it misses out on modern features like full-LED lighting, digital TFT displays, or Bluetooth connectivity, and the rear-view mirrors offer limited visibility, the Pulsar 220F remains a reliable, punchy, and comfortable machine for those who want an old-school, analog thrill in a modern world.
