Key highlights
- The 2025 Bajaj Pulsar 220F has started arriving at dealerships across India.
- Dual-channel ABS joins the feature list, bringing a long-awaited safety upgrade.
- The bike retains its familiar design and proven 220cc engine setup.
The Bajaj Pulsar 220F refuses to fade into memory. For 2025, the iconic semi-faired motorcycle has quietly made its way to dealerships, and this time it brings a meaningful update. Bajaj has finally added dual-channel ABS to the Pulsar 220F, aligning it with current safety expectations and regulations.
The Pulsar 220F has always enjoyed a loyal fan base. Many riders grew up dreaming about it. Some actually owned one. Others still swear it was the most comfortable fast bike of its time. By adding dual-channel ABS, Bajaj has given the 220F a second wind rather than letting it age ungracefully.
What’s new
Visually, not much has changed, and that is not a bad thing. The familiar half-fairing, twin projector headlamps, and muscular fuel tank remain intact. The design still looks purposeful, even in today’s crowded market. It carries nostalgia without looking outdated.
Under the bodywork sits the same 220cc oil-cooled single-cylinder engine. It continues to produce familiar power and torque figures that focus more on real-world rideability than outright numbers. The motor feels relaxed on highways and comfortable in daily use. That balance has always been the 220F’s strong suit.
The big news sits in the braking department. Dual-channel ABS improves stability under hard braking and adds confidence on wet or unpredictable roads. This upgrade also makes the bike more appealing to new buyers who want safety without giving up a known nameplate.
What remains
The suspension and chassis setup remain unchanged. Bajaj has chosen to keep the proven formula intact. This suggests the brand wants continuity rather than reinvention. Dealership sightings indicate that the bike will soon be officially available for retail, with pricing expected to sit slightly above the outgoing single-channel ABS version.
