Engineered by Bajaj for the sport motorcycle segment, the 2008 Bajaj Pulsar 220 DTS-FI relies on a 220 cc (13.4 cu in) single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 19.8 HP (14.4 kW) at 8,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 19.1 Nm (14.1 lb-ft) at 6,500 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox. With a specific output of 90 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 indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 1,350 mm (53.1 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 15-liter (4 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
Within MotoLibrary's Bajaj archive, this model family spans 2 indexed model years from 2007 to 2008, allowing buyers to track year-over-year changes in emissions tuning, weight and equipment.
