Engineered by Bajaj for the sport motorcycle segment, the 2014 Bajaj Pulsar 180 features a 178.6 cc (10.9 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 17 HP (12.4 kW) at 8,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 14.2 Nm (10.5 lb-ft) at 6,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through chain final drive. With a specific output of 95.2 HP per liter and a 2,000 rpm working window between peak torque (6,500 rpm) and peak power (8,500 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.
On the scales, the Pulsar 180 measures 145 kg (320 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.12 HP/kg (8.53 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 1,345 mm (53 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 15-liter (4 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
