What started as a basic commuter motorcycle has developed its own set of commuters, adventure sports bikes, naked sports bikes, and sports bikes. It sometimes also seems like that the Pulsar series itself has become a brand.

Bajaj is one of the biggest motorcycle manufacturers in the South Asian region (source). They have successfully collaborated with multiple motorcycle manufacturers around the world. Two of the most notable collaborations are the Bajaj-Kawasaki and Bajaj-KTM collaboration. The Bajaj Pulsar series is one of the most popular motorcycle series by Bajaj.

Brakes, Suspension, and Wheels:
The Bajaj Pulsar RS200 comes with dual disc brakes with dual-channel ABS. The front being 300 mm, which is bigger than the regular disc brakes. This huge disc up front pretty much ensures safe and early stops during emergency braking situations. The overall brake setup of the bike is really impressive and very good.

The Bajaj Pulsar RS200 has regular telescopic forks with an anti-friction bush in the front and a Nitrox mono-shock with a canister in the back. The overall setup of the suspension has been done just like that of a proper sports bike, which is why the suspensions are a bit stiff.

The wheels are the biggest turn-off of the Bajaj Pulsar RS200. It comes with a 100/80 and 130/70 tire setup. Being a 200cc bike and having this tire setup is an absolute shame. This tire setup limits the cornering and the stability of the bike at high speeds.
