Pulsar 220 CC DTS-Fi

The latest addition to the Bajaj Pulsar family is the Bajaj Pulsar 220cc DTS FI. This macho yet sleek looking bike gives “Definitely Male” an entirely new meaning. The bike has an ergonomic design which makes it very easy to maneuver on the Indian roads with ease. What makes it stand out in the DTS-I family are features like fuel injected engine that is oil cooled, front and rear disc braking, tubeless tyres, a digital speedometer console and ellipsoidal projector headlamps. The smooth acceleration is primarily due to the fuel injected engine, designed perfectly.

 

At the moment Bajaj is keeping its production volume a bit low, even though there are huge waiting lists at the moment. Bajaj Auto is definitely playing it safe and will increase the production once it sees the sale figures. The microprocessor based fuel injected motorbike will catapult the position of Bajaj Auto in almost the top slot, just below the winner, Hero Honda's 125 cc Glamour FI motorbike. According to sources, the engine of Pulsar DTS-FI is very powerful and will hit a top speed of around 135 km/h in stock form.

 

Most of you might be unaware of DTS-FI technology. It is like the DTS-I, introduced by Bajaj Auto but has a different way of working. DTS-FI stands for Digital Twin Spark Fuel Injection. In this, the engine has essentially two spark plugs similar to the DTS-I technology but the positioning is different. The high swirl and turbulence of the air-fuel mixture in the combustion chamber is generated due to the offset positioning of the twin spark plugs. Thus, the combustion is highly efficient that gives excellent mileage. The Pulsar DTS-FI also gets the credit for being the first two-wheeler in India to employ a hydraulically actuated 230 mm rear disc brake.
