With a host of new technologies, the new versions have raised the bar for "digital biking" in India. Bajaj's introduction for the new Pulsar says that the new features include DTSi, TRICS III and digital CDI. Lots of abbreviations that sure must sound intimidating.
Let us try unravelling one acronym at a time.
Current motorcycle and scooter engines have a single spark plug that ignites the air and fuel mixture inside the combustion chamber. As a result, the rectangular combustion chambers in most motorcycle engines have a certain degree of unburnt air-fuel mix, since the flame front arising from the sparkplug does not reach all the corners of the combustion chamber.
This loss of unburnt air-fuel mix leads to lower power and fuel efficiency. After Bajaj Auto perfected the technology for adding a second spark plug to the engine and the engine management systems to go with it, it decided to first put the new technology to work on the Pulsar.
