David Pieris Motor Company Ltd., sole agents for Sri Lanka’s best selling range of Bajaj motorcycles, has extended its portfolio with the launch of the new 200cc ‘Pulsar’ DTS-i motorcycle in Sri Lanka. The latest offering has set new benchmarks in technology, performance and styling to address the needs of a growing segment of pro-bikers.

The new Pulsar has many firsts to its credit. It comes equipped with an Oil cooler, which helps control engine oil temperatures at sustained high speeds and rpms, thus ensuring more stable engine oil viscosity. The 200cc DTS-i engine generates 18 Ps of raw pulsating power to provide riding excitement to performance hungry bikers. This makes the Pulsar 200 the most sporty and stylish powerhouse on two wheels to pace Sri Lankan roads.

It’s also the first bike in Sri Lanka to feature both front and rear tubeless tyres, which besides offering superior stability are safer than conventional tube types and in sync with the offerings abroad for similar applications. The rear tyre is the broadest in its category to ensure better road grip and stability.

The new digital console is an advanced version of the latest Pulsar family. Apart from the Digital Odometer, Digital Speedo Meter, Digital Fuel Gauge and two Digital Trip Meters, the console on the 200cc Pulsar DTS-i has indicators for Air filter condition, Engine temperature, Battery voltage and Oil level, all of which contribute to enhancing rider information for trouble-free riding.

Another first is the use of split seats for styling and comfort. The split grab rail perfectly compliments the new rear chiseled looks. The bike comes with an electric start as the sole means of engine cranking, dispensing with the conventional kick lever.

The new Pulsar has now raised the bar in the motorcycle industry with superior technology and features such as the engine oil cooler, digital console and a range of tec-driven features. A spokesman for the company said, "We are already market leaders by far in the performance segment and launch of Pulsar 200 DTSi would further reinforce our position in this important segment. The new Pulsar 200cc joins the immensely popular 150 cc and the 180cc Pulsar bikes to extend the Pulsar DTS-i range across a range of price and performance points. "
