India's Bajaj has launched the 2026 model-year Pulsar 220F, priced at 1.36 lakh rupees (ex-showroom) — about 8,000 rupees more than before. The long-running vertically stacked twin-headlight design has been replaced with full LED projector headlights featuring a sharp brow-shaped LED DRL. The engine remains an oil-cooled 220cc single producing 20 bhp and 18.55 Nm through a 5-speed gearbox — the model's first major styling overhaul in roughly 20 years.

The engine stays the same oil-cooled 220cc single, while the lighting gets refreshed to full-LED projectors — I quite like this kind of 'not overdoing it' update. Instead of rejecting a long-selling design wholesale, they fix just the part that ages fastest into something modern. Line it up against the old model and the difference in the face will be obvious at a glance. This is a bike where you can see the technique of how to extend the life of a finished classic.

So the vertical twin-headlight Pulsar was a longtime icon — would love to see how it looks with LEDs.

Full LED conversion for ₹1.36 lakh feels like getting an equipment upgrade at close to the same price — good value.

Changing an identity the Pulsar held onto for 20 years with its vertical twin headlights must have been a big decision for Bajaj.

Just for the LED conversion, an ₹8,000 increase seems like fair value, though the price bump is worth keeping an eye on.

For a first refresh in 20 years, the price increase is pretty modest, so a lot of people will probably find it acceptable.

20bhp, 18.55Nm from an oil-cooled 220cc single — the spec sheet itself sticks to a steady, well-refined path.

The first major styling change in about 20 years — moving from the vertical twin headlight to an LED brow-shaped DRL is a genuinely meaningful milestone.

Changing that iconic vertical twin-headlight look is a major decision that's bound to split opinion among fans.
