Bajaj Pulsar 200 NS Fi in the Making

Bajaj Auto always gives an upper hand to the technology in their bikes, and they have some most advanced bikes in their portfolio. Last year when Bajaj Auto launched its next generation Bajaj Pulsar 200 NS as its flagship bike, it was the most advanced Pulsar bike till date, It was the first Bajaj bike to get monoshock suspension, petal disc brakes and first bike in the world to get triple-spark technology. But to control the prices they continue to use carburettor to inject the fuel in the engine, now there are reports that Bajaj is working on a fuel injected version for the Pulsar 200 NS. The Pulsar 200NS is the only bike in the segment that doesn't use fuel injection unlike Hero Karizma ZMR and the likes.

There are possibilities that the Bajaj Pulsar 200 NS Fi is being developed for the export markets only, which will be launched in Philippines and Malaysia. The Pulsar 200 NS equipped with fuel injection will perform better and will be more fuel efficient. The bike is powered by a 200cc, liquid cooled, SOHC, Triple spark engine, which is the same except the fuel injection in-place of carburettor. The new fuel injection will improve the performance for sure, but the power output will remain same, it will be linear for sure. Mated to a 6-speed manual transmission, the engine produces the maximum power output of 23.5bhp with the peak torque of 18.3Nm. Its triple spark ignition unit help it burn every single bit of the fuel, thus offers optimum performance with the class leading mileage figures.

As it's a known fact that Bajaj 200 NS' engine is majorly based on the KTM Duke 200's, fuel injection is also expected to be inspired from the same source. The fuel injection will help the 200 NS to compete with KTM Duke 200. The 200Ns will be the second Bajaj bike to feature a fuel injection as the the first one was the Pulsar 220 DTS-Fi. It is obvious that the prices of the vehicle will be increased due to fuel injection and if it launches in India it will be costlier by a minimum of Rs. 10k.
