The iconic bike has been re-launched after a four year break

Bajaj has launched the 2026 Pulsar 180 in India, bringing back one of its most popular sporty commuters.

The bike returns with updated styling, new features, a familiar mechanical package, and slotting right above the Bajaj Pulsar 150.

How Much Does It Cost?

The 2026 Pulsar 180 has been priced at Rs 1,22,490; positioning it just below the Bajaj Pulsar 220F that's priced at Rs 1,29,422 (all prices ex-showroom).

Colours

  • This Bajaj Pulsar bike is offered in five colours: Black Blue, Black Red, Black Grey, Black Gold and White

  • All get the same sporty graphics, just in different shades

What is it?

  • A comeback of the iconic Bajaj Pulsar 180

  • Positioned between Pulsar 150 and Pulsar 220F

  • Gets updated styling and new features

  • Has the same underpinnings as before

  • Still focuses on affordable sporty performance

Numbers That Matter

  • 165mm ground clearance should be more than enough for our roads

  • Fuel tank capacity of 15 litres should translate to long gaps between fuel stops

  • 156kg kerb weight should be manageable for most

  • Front disc is a 280mm unit, and the rear's a 230mm

  • Gets a 90-section front and 120-section rear tyre

Engine Talk - Same Heart, But Updated

This Bajaj bike continues with its 178-odd-cc engine as before, and while the core remains unchanged, it has now been updated to comply with the latest emission norms and E20 fuel. The performance is expected to feel similar to the older model, offering a balance between city usability and highway capability.

Our Take - Who Should Consider It?

The Pulsar 180 has always been known as the perfect middle ground between the 150 and 220F. With its return, Bajaj is bringing back a familiar package with just enough updates to keep it relevant. It should appeal to buyers looking for a simple, sporty commuter with decent performance without spending too much. While it may not be the most feature-loaded bike today, its proven formula and positioning could still make it an attractive option in the segment.
