2009 BAJAJ PULSAR 220 DTSi REVIEW


"Pulsar - definitely male", Don't you remember this caption? The introduction of Pulsar in the Indian market was a revolutionary leap for the Bajaj autos. The Pulsar was the 1st 150cc bike in the premium segment. Pulsar's victory made Bajaj one of the top two wheeler manufacturers in India. Though many other models were introduced in the market by Bajaj, none of them could get the demand equal to that of Pulsar. Bajaj continued to improvize the Pulsar series and many successors came for the Pulsar 150. First came the Pulsar 150 DTSi, then came Pulsar 180 DTSi, then Pulsar 200 DTSi and so on. This year Bajaj introduced another successor, Pulsar 220 DTS Fi. Then came the "Fastest Indian" Pulsar 220 DTSi. Bajaj hasn't disappointed the Pulsar fans. The new Pulsar also comes with outstanding features. Want to know more???

Design & Styling

The new Pulsar 220 DTSi and Pulsar 220 DTS Fi have no visible dissimilarities. The only visible difference is the Logo name. All Pulsar features such as digital speedometer, split grab rail, clip-on handle bar, 3D logo etc are retained in the new Pulsar 220 DTSi. There is no change in the exhaust portion of the bike also. Bajaj's exhaust-tec technology is used in this model also. The silencer is also equipped with catalytic converter.
Apart from the speedometer and tachometer, the digital instrument panel also contains 2 trip meters. The Pulsar 220 DTSi has side stand indicators, hazard indicators, oil & fuel indicators as well. The Pulsar 220 DTSi also contains automatic indicators as in cars. The Bajaj Pulsar 220 DTSi is available in 4 colors:Red, Blue, Black and Silver.

Technical Specifications

Compared to the Bajaj Pulsar DTS Fi with Fuel Injection support, the Pulsar 220 DTSi's engine is more powerful. The maximum power generated by the 4 stroke, single cylinder, aircooled engine is 20.71 bhp @ 8500 rpm. The maximum torque is 19 Nm @ 7000 rpm. The veturi carburetor with Carb controlled variable ignition replaces the Fuel Injection facility. The ignition is microprocessor controlled digital CDI.
The Pulsar 220 DTSi with white sump, forced lubrication, has 5-speed constant mesh transmission which reduces the chance of false neutral. The front suspension of the bike is telescopic fork with 130mm stroke. The rear suspension is trailing arm with coaxial gas assisted Hydraulic shock absorbers and coil springs. The Bajaj Pulsar 220 DTSi doesn't have kick start facility as in other premium segment bikes. Tubeless tyre and O-ring type chain are other notable features in 220 DTSi.

Drive

The Pulsar 220 DTSi has much more power than Pulsar 220 DTS Fi. The telescopic fork, gas charged suspension and tubeless tyres offer greater travel comfort. The tyres made in soft compound are used in 220 DTSi to assure improved road grip at higher speeds. The weight of the bike helps to keep it stable at higher speeds. The journey at the back seat is also comfortable.
The Bajaj claims that Pulsar 220 DTSi has a top speed of 144kmh.

Mileage
Bajaj offers a mileage of 40-45km/L for Pulsar 220 DTSi. The fuel tank capacity is 15L. The reserve capacity is 3.2 L

Price
Cochin Ex-showroom price - Rs. 73,590

CHEVROLET SPARK LPG REVIEW


Now a days, almost all small-segment vehicles including Maruti-Suzuki and Hyundai are introduced in the market in LPG models also. But the problem is that most of them runs smoothly on petrol rather than on LPG. But Chevrolet's new Spark LPG is different from all, thanks to the next generation LPG kit used in the Spark. Believe me or not, the new Chevrolet Spark LPG offers smoother performance on LPG rather than on petrol. The new Spark LPG combines drivability and low cost together. Instead of the veturi type gas kit used in ordinary LPG models, Spark has used Sequential injection kit. Almost all cars are started on petrol and then the fuel mode is changed where as the Spark LPG can start in LPG mode itself. As a result, there is no power reduction, jerking and back firing as in venturi type gas kits. Also, the mode change from petrol to LPG can't be detected. The only difference is that the LPG mode offers more pickup.

Design
The new chevy's advantages are compactness, less maintenance cost and mileage. This doesn't sacrifices the pickup or interior space. Though it looks compact from outside, the interior is spacious. As a result, Spark has become the no.1 city car in India. The brand name "Chevrolet" itself offers some reputation to Spark among other cars.

Interior
The interior of new Spark LPG is cuter than the old models. The new biege theme gives a more bright and spacious feel. The hybrid seating offers greater comfort. The meters, cute steering, a/c vent and nobes has improved a lot.
The seats offer a comfortable journey in the Spark. 4 persons can travel comfortably in Spark. The LPG model also has central locking and front power window.

Driving
The mode change switch on the dashboard is used to transfer from petrol mode to LPG mode and vice versa. When petrol is finished, the mode is automatically changed to LPG mode. If the mode is changed from petrol to LPG when gas is empty, the car also gives visible and audio warnings.
The engine is smoother and refined in the gas mode. The engine sound is less than Wagon-r, santro and estilo. The 0-100 km time is 15.93sec for Spark. The aerodynamic design helps Spark to attain great speed.
According to the ARAI certification, the mileage of Spark in LPG mode is 13.7 km/L which is quiet higher in this category. The LPG model has warranty period of 100,000km or 3 years as in Petrol model. The servicing is also free upto 45000 km or 3 years.

Price
PS-Rs.3.54lakhs
LS-Rs.3.71lakhs
