With its sporty stance and robust build, this motorcycle appeals to both seasoned riders and those stepping into the world of two wheels for the first time. At the heart of the Pulsar 180 lies a 178.60 ccm single-cylinder, four-stroke engine, producing an impressive 17.02 horsepower at 8500 RPM and torque of 14.22 Nm at 6500 RPM.

The steel perimeter frame provides durability and stability, while the combination of a single disc front brake and a drum rear brake offers reliable stopping power. Riders will appreciate the electric starter convenience, and with a fuel capacity of 15 liters, long-distance rides become less daunting. Available in striking color options, including black/white, blue, and red, the Pulsar 180 ensures that you not only ride in style but also have a motorcycle that stands out in a crowd. **

  • Comfortable Handling: The combination of telescopic front suspension and adjustable rear shock provides a smooth ride on various surfaces.
  • Stylish Design: With its sporty aesthetics and vibrant color options, the Pulsar 180 is visually appealing and modern.
