Bajaj Auto has finally listed the BS6-compliant 2020 Bajaj Pulsar RS200 Twin ABS on its official website. The brand has introduced the bike with a dual-channel ABS unit along with the BS6 engine upgrade. The bike was launched last month but at that time it was not known whether it has a 2-channel ABS unit or a 1-channel ABS unit. Mechanically, the bike continues to come powered with the same 199.5cc, single-cylinder, triple spark, fuel-injected engine which is now BS6 compliant. It churns out 24.5HP of maximum power along with 18.7Nm of peak torque. The engine remains mated to a 6-speed transmission.
The Pulsar RS200 has a claimed top speed of 140.8 kmph which makes it one of the fastest bikes in its segment. The fully-faired sports bike gets its stopping power from a 300mm front disc and a 230mm rear disc. Earlier the braking duties were handled by single-channel ABS but in the BS6 model, Bajaj Auto has upgraded the bike with dual-channel ABS to improve the braking power and reduce the chances of skidding. In terms of styling, the bike remains unchanged and continues to feature the same design. The BS6 Pulsar RS200 is available for INR 1.45 lakh which is around INR 3000 pricier than its BS4 variant.
Bajaj Auto has done a commendable job by providing a dual-channel ABS unit along with BS6 engine upgrade at such a nominal price hike. Ths suspension duties on the bike are handled by the same telescopic forks at the front and a mono-shock absorber at the rear. The key features for the 2020 Bajaj Pulsar RS200 Twin ABS include dual projector headlamps, LED blinkers, LED crystal taillights, a semi-digital instrument cluster, and a short side-mounted exhaust. It also has split seats and clip-on handlebars to enhance the sporty character of the fully-faired motorcycle. Source: Bajaj Auto
