Engine Displacement: 220 cc
The 220F is powered by a 220 cc single-cylinder, 4-stroke, 2-valve engine. It utilizes Bajaj’s patented DTS-i (Digital Twin Spark-ignition) technology. Unlike the liquid-cooled NS models, the 220F uses a robust oil-cooling system, making it simpler to maintain while still being effective for long-distance cruising.
Max Power: 21 PS @ 8500 rpm
Generating 21 PS at 8500 rpm, the 220F provides a punchy and engaging ride. While newer 250cc models have surpassed it in raw numbers, the "throttle feel" of the 220F remains a benchmark for many veteran Pulsar fans.
Max Torque: 19.12 Nm @ 7000 rpm
With 19.12 Nm of torque, this bike is a hill-climbing champion in the Nepalese terrain. The mid-range torque is specifically tuned to allow for quick overtaking without needing to downshift constantly.
Top Speed: 134 km/h
The Pulsar 220F is aerodynamically gifted due to its semi-fairing. It can comfortably hit a top speed of 134 km/h (speedo-indicated). The fairing significantly reduces wind blast, which is why it remains a top choice for highway touring.
Mileage: 38–40 kmpl
Riders typically report a fuel efficiency of 38 to 40 kmpl. Combined with its large fuel tank, this gives the 220F a massive riding range, perfect for long trips from Kathmandu to Pokhara or beyond.
