Bajaj Pulsar NS 200, with Single-Channel ABS, Coming Soon in Nepal

Many might already know about the safety benefits of Anti-Locking Braking System (ABS). Basically, ABS work to prevent wheels from locking up during panic-inducted scenarios. Well, it was a life-saving feature, reserved only for more premium motorcycles.

However, the things have changed, and lower cc motorcycles, like Yamaha R15 v3.0, have gotten either a single-channel or dual-channel treatment. Additionally, the things have moved towards a better future as the Indian Government has made it mandatory for all manufacturers to include single-channel ABS.

As per reports, Bajaj Pulsar NS 200 will be the first to arrive in Nepal with that single-channel ABS treatment. Yes, you heard it right! Bajaj Pulsar NS 200, with single-channel ABS, is coming to Nepal. You might’ve been expecting it for a while, so let me just confirm it.

Furthermore, there’s no official news on the exact launch date or pricing. But the things are expected to be revealed at NADA Auto Show 2019. However, one thing is for sure, Bajaj Pulsar NS 200 (ABS) price in Nepal is rumored to be slightly more than the older generation.
