[edit] Features and specifications
With this introduction, Bajaj Auto would achieve a close second in the race to offer a microprocessor-based fuel injected motorcycle to Indian customers, after Hero Honda's 125 cc Glamour FI motorcycle.[1][2] The new Pulsar has a longer wheelbase than its predecessor, factory-fitted front and rear disc brakes and detailed digital instrumentation. The Pulsar DTS-Fi generates a maximum power of 20 bhp and a maximum torque of 19.12 N·m (14 ft·lbf). It is also the first Indian two-wheeler with a hydraulic-actuated rear disc (230 mm) brake. It also features a stacked headlamp setup, with a projector low beam and separate high beam. The motorcycle is 2,035 mm in length, 750 mm in width and 1,140 mm in overall height. The curb weight is about 150 kg. The new Pulsar 220 DTS-Fi can achieve a top speed of 135 km/h (with a rider weighing 68 Kg.)
[edit] Engine technology
The acronym DTS-Fi stands for Digital Twin Spark Fuel Injection. Like DTS-i (which is the mother technology) the engine has two spark plugs, but, instead of conventionally positioned straight ports, the offset positioning of the ports generate high swirl and turbulence of the air fuel mixture in the combustion chamber. This results in highly efficient combustion that further results in exceptional mileage. Like the mother DTS-i technology, the DTS-Fi technology is a patented technology developed by Bajaj Auto R&D.
