Pulsar AS200 Adventure Sport Review

Bajaj Auto has made serious of updates in their 2 wheeler market this year.They have introduced 4 products in first quarter and two more likely to be launched before year end. Pulsar RS200 has taken over as the " Fastest Pulsar Yet " tag from P220 and two Adventure Sports bikes (150 & 200) have come in good time.
The 200AS Adventure sport as they call , Is said to be a good city commuter and a highway cruiser. Seeing 1.4lakh onroad for RS200 , AS200 was also expected at a higher price tag, But Bajaj has played a safe game here. The powerfully packed Adventure Sport is launched 1.1lakh onroad.
AS200 uses same engine inherited from NS200. It comes with a triple spark, 4 valve , DTS-i Engine with a diplacement of 199.5 CC. Delivering 23.5Ps power and max 18.3Nm torque.The seating position gives a cruiser feel.It uses Nitrox Mono Suspension, which has to do some heavy duty on adventure roads.

NS200 was win for pulsar and AS200 could play a game changer for pulsar.
It has retained same sporty look like NS.The projector headlights will surely catch your eyes and a front Alpha Male Fairing with extended visor gives bike a Manly look. Front fairing was extended to get a high speed wind protection. Autocar India who reviewed this bike have claimed a high speed of 141kmph, For NS200 it was somewhere between 125 to 130kmph. Also it gets a Oil cooled engine which gives easy commute, be it highway or city traffic.
