New 2012 Bajaj Pulsar 200
The launch of the orange clad naked bike from the Austrian bike manufacturer KTM has been the most anticipated launches in the upcoming year 2012. The KTM Duke 200, designed and developed jointly by Bajaj and KTM and to be assembled at the Bajaj’s assembly plant near Pune has been receiving lot of attention from the critics and customers are having lot of expectations also. Come January 2012, and the wraps will be taken off this exquisite piece of motorcycle. However, brewing in the R&D centre of Bajaj is another offering that is alleged to take the entire Indian motorcycling scenario by storm. Yes, you guessed it right! I am talking about the upcoming new range of Pulsar series which as per the company sources, is going to be radically different from the existing range of Pulsars.
According to various sources, Bajaj has taken lot of inspiration from their counterpart, KTM in the design and development of the new generation Pulsars. The new Pulsar is going to feature an all new chassis and design language, expected to be in the lines of the Duke which however, is just a speculation. The new Pulsar range will be shortly revealed after the 2012 Auto Expo and it is expected that the first bike to roll out will be the Pulsar 200 or the 220. The new Pulsar will be sharing some components with the Duke 200 which includes some engine components as well like the bottom of the engine. However, to keep costs low and to position it below the KTM bikes, the engine is going to be an oil cooled 4 valve unit. Bajaj is expected to carry over the DTS-i and Exhaus-tec technologies to the new Pulsar as well to improve the fuel efficiency. Tell us your views on the new Pulsar.

Technical Highlights of 2012 New TVS Apache RTR 180 ABS
Anti-lock Braking System technology is an integration of a HECU (Hydraulic Electronic Control Unit) and Independent Wheel Speed Sensors which help determine when a wheel is likely to get locked. When the brakes are applied hard, the wheel tends to lock. At this point, the HECU takes over instantaneously and modulates the brake pressure continuously to keep the Apache RTR 180 ABS in the most effective braking zone while ensuring precise maneuvers.
Sensors on the front and rear wheels independently monitor the speed of rotation at all times and can sense the risk of wheel lock whenever the brakes are applied. If the sensors communicate an impending wheel lock, the HECU modulates the braking pressure and prevents it, therefore reducing the risk of the rider losing control of his Apache. When the ignition is turned ‘ON’, the Apache RTR 180 ABS does an automatic self-check, which is indicated by the blinking of an LED on the console and the speed sensors monitor the wheel speed and send signals continuously to the HECU.
The Apache RTR ABS is also equipped with Rear Wheel Lift-off Protection (RLP) system which regulates deceleration when the bike is likely to lift off during emergency braking situations and takes over control, with no loss of stopping distance. With the RLP system continuously monitoring and controlling the braking, the bike gives the best stopping performance. The bike comes with an ‘ABS-Off’ switch, which disables the ABS technology, enabling the rider to showcase his capabilities on the Apache RTR, in controlled conditions. In an effort to enhance the ‘thrill of biking’ in the TVS Apache RTR 180, the company has fitted the bike with an all-new 3 phase Full DC lighting system and an efficient energy management system.
