Q. What about the suspension and brakes?

Front breaks are too good. If you do not use bike often then rear brakes may loose the grip/air and it will act like ordinary drum brakes. This become frustrating because one starts to loose confidence. Both are disc brakes and you do not need to change disk pads so often. ABS (electronic and manual were not available at least till 2017 so I am not sure Bajaj has sourced ABS in new gen 220 bikes.)

The underpinnings of the Pulsar 220 include a telescopic front fork and twin 5-step preload-adjustable gas-charged shock absorbers along with a 280mm front disc with single-channel ABS and a 230mm rear disc. Its 17-inch alloy wheels come wrapped with 90-section front and 120-section rear tubeless tyres.

Excellent in new, and become poor when it become old day by day. That means you also dying day by day means becoming old 👴, budda
