At the heart of the 2010 Bajaj Pulsar 220 DTS-i sport motorcycle, Bajaj relies on a 220 cc (13.4 cu in) air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 21 HP (15.4 kW) at 8,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 19.1 Nm (14.1 lb-ft) at 7,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through chain final drive. With a specific output of 95.5 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (7,000 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 220 DTS-i measures 150 kg (331 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.14 HP/kg (7.14 kg per horsepower). 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.
