After a long hiatus, Bajaj Auto has brought back one of its most popular sporty commuters, the Pulsar 180, at Rs 1.22 lakh (ex-showroom). It was discontinued back in 2022, leaving a gap between the Pulsar 150 and Pulsar 220F, which has now been addressed.
2026 Bajaj Pulsar 180 – What Does It Offer?
Engine
- The Pulsar 180 returns with revised styling, new features and a familiar mechanical package.
- That said, it comes equipped with a 178.6cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled engine that produces 17PS of max power at 8,500rpm and 15Nm of peak torque at 6,500 rpm.
- While the peak power remain same as its previous version, the torque output has increased by 0.8Nm.
- Transmission duty is handled by a 5-speed unit.
- We expect the performance to be similar to the outgoing model.

Styling and Features

- When it comes to features, the Pulsar 180 comes equipped with an all-LED lighting system, split seat setup, an LCD console with Bluetooth connectivity and a Type-A USB charging port. Surprisingly, it skips navigation assist.
