Imaginatively, gusty winds, leather jacket, sunglass, high-ankle boots and winding road define a perfect picturesque moment for cruisers. Bajaj, aiming not very distant from the said with its Pulsar AS200 has strike a conversation between the enthusiasts and long-distance riders. <br />Alongside, in the showrooms, this bike maker also sells Pulsar 220 which is an all-rounder, suited better for the racetracks as well as road trips. Today, we put both motorcycles head to head to check who is a better choice for the long rides from the stable of Bajaj. <br />Engine <br />Strapped in the belly by a 220cc displacement, the bigger Pulsar fails to produce output as of AS200. Comparatively, it gains better margin of torque. <br /> Frame <br />Technically, engineers at Bajaj Auto have used the new perimeter frame in AS200 for better handling and weight distribution, where the Pulsar 220 continues to ride on an old structure. <br />Suspension <br />Up front, both bikes use the same telescopic suspension. Thus, the difference arises at rear where AS200 picked mono suspension unit to handle bruises better than the 220’s conventional dual-side shock absorbers. <br />Tyres <br />The tyres, used on 220 are fatter at rear, whereas AS200 uses the softer compound and stickier material. <br />Price <br />Presently, AS200 costs Rs 91 and a half thousand, which takes it on the costlier side of war against the 220’s price tag of Rs 87 thousand, a difference of Rs 4 t0 5 thousand approximately. <br />Hence, both motorcycles are neck to neck, but it’s the preference that will bring sales to each of them.
