BAJAJ Pulsar 180 DTS-i (2005-2006) Specs, Performance & Photos

The Bajaj Pulsar was a range of motorcycles manufactured by Bajaj Auto in India. The bike was developed by Bajaj's product engineering division in association with Tokyo R&D and later with motorcycle designer Glynn Kerr.

The bike was manufactured between 2001 and the present (2024) and was part of the standard and Mini Sport series. It was available in several displacements, including 125, 135, 150, 160, 180, 200, 220, and 250cc.

In 2005, the Indian motorcycle maker released the Bajaj Pulsar 180 DTS-i, a motorcycle similar in design to the smaller 150cc version but with a slightly larger engine and wire-spoke wheels.

Visually, the bike had standard features, such as a front mudguard mounted close to the wheel, a front cowl with a single headlight unit, a one-piece dual seat with a passenger grab handle, a single side-mounted shock absorber on the rear, a single exhaust system with a silencer mounted on the right-hand side, and wire-spoke wheels.

The bike was built around a steel cradle frame with a telescopic fork on the front with anti-stiction bushes, offering 135 mm of travel, and a gas-assisted five-way adjustable Nitrox shock absorber on the rear, providing 100 mm of travel.

Power-wise, the 2005 Bajaj Pulsar 180 DTS-i had installed a 179cc four-stroke air-cooled single-cylinder engine underneath its fuel tank, boasting 17 hp at 8,000 rpm and 15 Nm (11 lb-ft) torque at 6,000 rpm.
