The 2026 Bajaj Pulsar 180 has been launched in India. The motorcycle has returned to the market following sustained demand from enthusiasts, says Bajaj. Here are its highlights.

One of the big highlights of the updated model is its refreshed styling. The bike gets new graphics that lend it a sharper and more contemporary appearance. Complementing the cosmetic changes are a new LED headlamp and LED turn indicators.

In keeping with the trend in these modern times, the new Bajaj Pulsar 180 gets a Bluetooth-enabled digital console. The connectivity features let the rider get information about incoming calls and SMS.

The bike is powered by a 178.61cc, single-cylinder, air/oil-cooled engine that produces 16.77bhp at 8,500rpm and 15Nm at 6,500rpm.

While the fresh graphics add some visual appeal, there is no getting away from the fact that the bike has been around for decades and its age shows.
