Maximum power delivery of the P220 has gone up from 20.06 Ps at 8,500 rpm of the previous ones to 21.04 Ps at the same rpm in the upgraded version. While peak torque has remained the same at 19.12 Nm, the rpm at which it peaks has gone up to 7,000 from 6,500.
The upgrade´s forks, swing arm, alloy wheels and engine have got an all-black treatment. Other changes include 3D chiseled logo, clip-on handle bars and also a redesigned console background.
Hansraj Hulaschand has priced the new Pulsar 220 DTS-I at Rs 219,900.
