Pulsar 180cc UG3 vs Pulsar 180cc UG4 (Old Pulsar Vs New Pulsar)

As most of the riders are keen to know about the main difference between the new and old version of pulsar 180cc, I have written this article. If you find any of the features are missing out, please report by your comments. I will be referring Pulsar 180cc UG3 as just UG3; latest Pulsar 180cc UG4 as just UG4.

• The new pulsar 180cc gets tank scoops borrowed from the successful pulsar 200cc
• UG3 came with just single piece handlebar as like 150cc version. UG4 model comes with clip on handles as it is in p220.
• UG4 borrows the box section swingarm from its elder sibling pulsar 220cc. Larger forks at the front and box section swingarm at the rear means more fun for hardcore bikers
• UG3 model came with single seat that was normal compare to any other bikes. UG4 has come up with split seat which extra comfort on ride.
• UG3 came with tubes. UG4 has come up with tubeless tyres; which is one of the good features to compete with other bikes in premium bikes segment. UG3 - Front tyre 2.75 x 17, Rear Tyre 100/90 X 17. UG4 - Front tyre 90/90 X 17, Rear tyre 120/80 X18 In UG4 (1345mm), wheelbase has increased compare to UG3 (1320mm).
• UG4 also gets a new rear sprocket and the O-ring chain
• UG4 comes with thicker front fork which is 37mm compare to UG3’s fork 32mm
• UG4 comes with only self start. No more kicks needed.
• Total kerb weight of UG4 is 147kg which is slightly high compare to UG3 model (143kg)
• Finally the great feature of p180 UG4 is that power of the engine which is figured 17.6 BHP

Find below the summary of above points.

New Bajaj Pulsar 150cc DTS-i UG4 - Review

Bajaj Auto has launched Pulsar 150cc DTS-i UG4 model with cosmetic changes. I did a test drive yesterday. I felt UG4 rocks than UG3 version of p150cc.

The embossed 3D pulsar logo on tank, absolute black treatment in all and tank scoops are visual changes on UG4 model. The other major change is on clutch assembly. Bajaj has modified the clutch plate assembly in UG4 as it is in the classical pulsar. The clutch was very smooth and flexible to operate.


Bajaj Auto has got good feedback for this clutch plate assembly change.

Definitely Pulsar rocks!!!
