Bajaj Pulsar 220F ABS has been spotted testing. Earlier, we spotted the Pulsar 150 ABS too. Both the ABS variants might launch in this festive season. It will most likely be priced under Rs 1 Lakhs for a stiffer competition.
Last week, Bajaj Pulsar 150 ABS was spotted testing. There was no ABS inscribed on the body, but we could identify from the white-coloured ABS rings on the rear disc brake. Now, fresh spy images of the Bajaj Pulsar 220F ABS have come online. Like the Pulsar 150, this one has also been spotted with the ABS rings. Before April 2019, all the bikes of 125cc engines or more should compulsorily have ABS. So, looks like Bajaj has started testing the variants and might launch this festive season.
While we have spotted the Bajaj Pulsar 220F ABS, we do not know that if it receives single or dual-channel ABS. Only the front disc brake is visible in this spy photo.
The 220F is priced at Rs 95,000. So, mostly a single-channel ABS would come equipped on the 220F. Bajaj is always known to keep its pricing aggressive. So we expect the ABS variant to charge us around Rs 7,000-8,000 more than the standard variant.

Let’s get to the explanation of ABS first.
Anti-lock Braking System helps in prevention of locking of tires while sudden braking. It prevents skidding of vehicles and also reduces stopping distances. Also, ABS helps to steer during emergency braking. This safety measure works on wet roads too. Most of the bikes are starting to get ABS variants, ahead of government’s ABS rule.
The Bajaj Pulsar 220F ABS will continue with the same engine and same features list.
The 220F gets a 220cc DTS-i engine. The engine produces 21 BHP of power and 19.1 Nm of torque. The 220F comes paired to a 5-speed manual transmission. The mileage estimated on the bike is around 30 kmpl.

Features onboard the Pulsar 220F include New Decals, Always-on Headlamp, Clip-on Style Handlebar, LED Taillight, Auto cancelling indicators, Digital Speedometer, Split Seats, Split Grabrails with front and rear disc brakes.

As such, the Pulsar 220F does not face any fierce competition in terms of engine displacement. However, with its aggressive pricing, it competes against Hero Karizma ZMR, Suzuki Gixxer SF and other bikes in that range.
