At the heart of the Bajaj Pulsar RS200 is a 199.5 cc single cylinder mill shared with the Pulsar 200NS and the Pulsar AS200.

The Bajaj Pulsar RS200 measures 1,999 mm in length, 765 mm in width and 1,114 mm in height. It tips the scales at 165 kg and has a ground clearance of 157 mm. The bike gets a 300 mm disc with a single-channel ABS up front and a 230 mm disc in the rear. Other features include a twin projector headlamps, crystal LED taillamps and tubeless tyres.
While the blue paint scheme is new, the grey option had been showcased recently at a dealer event in Turkey.
