Recently Asked User Questions
- It not change same
- No it's same
- I own 180F and surely it doesn't make much difference with 220F...both in performance and comfort also 180F can give very good mileage....if we ride with low rpm we will get good mileage for regular rides and in other cases we can go for power....engine heat is a bit more...and it emits so...after all considering its all sides...it is a better option being a balanced one...
- According to me it's totally depends on your budget if you are having a good budget then go for 220f you can go for 180f but there is a lack i.e neither you get a liquid or oil cooled engine . may be on long rides you may face some problems
- It's depending upon your budget.. if you have good amount of money go for 220f which gives more power..if you have less budget go for 180f which gives good power too for 180 cc engine. looks wise both are same but cc varies..

The Pulsar 220F competes with the Hero Xtreme 200S. The Xtreme 200S is the most affordable 200cc faired motorcycle, it also has an impressive features list, which works in its favour. The Pulsar 220F, doesn’t boast a long feature list, but it has always remained a proper value-for-money motorcycle for someone looking for a sporty motorcycle.It still comes in two colours: blue and red
