Bajaj Auto has relaunched the Pulsar 180, discontinued in 2022, in India at Rs 1.22 lakh. Positioned between the Pulsar 150 and 220F, it gets upgraded equipment including full-LED lighting and a Bluetooth-enabled digital meter.
Looking at the spec sheet, this isn't a mere rehash. 178.61cc single at 16.7bhp is modest, but it fights with equipment: full LED lighting, a Bluetooth-enabled digital meter, even USB charging. Compared to the discontinued old model, it's irresistible how thoroughly it's absorbed the wave of premiumization. The sweet-spot positioning between the 150 and the 220F also gets my pulse up.

Why would they bring back a model that was already discontinued?
Probably because there was a price gap within the Pulsar lineup. Bringing something back due to loyal fan demand is a pretty common pattern.
Bugs me that the article doesn't give concrete horsepower figures or fuel economy.
In the same mid-displacement segment in India, this'll probably compete with things like Honda's Unicorn.
Full LED lighting and a Bluetooth-enabled meter, good to see they properly refreshed the equipment for the comeback.
They call it filling the gap between the 150 and 220F, but honestly I'm a bit worried it ends up in an awkward in-between spot.
It's reasonable enough, but at the end of the day it comes down to how much of a difference buyers can actually feel versus the 150.
The Pulsar 180 coming back, didn't expect it to return after being discontinued in 2022.
