The on-coming big fight: SYM Wolf T2 250 vs. Bajaj Pulsar 200NS

The monster Bajaj Pulsar 200NS has got competition. Not one, but two! Mahindra is rumored to bring Mojo soon. Mahindra Mojo is destined to be an alien. And it already is being called an extra terrestrial weapon from Mahindra two wheelers’. The latest to come from Mahindra is that it might as well bring another tough invader soon. Mahindra and its Taiwanese partner SYM, which uptil now have restricted themselves to scoots, are working hard to bang on with a new machine! No more are they to restrict themselves to Duro DZ and Rodeo RZ. As of now, they are calling their new project of a 250cc liquid cooled SYM Wolf T2 250 or SB 250 Ni. As they are progressing, a wonder creation is the only expected thing. This enthusiastic project is already making enough space in the news to be giving Pulsar 200NS and the latest Hyosung GT250R a run, if priced aptly.
Well named as Wolf, SYM Wolf T2 250 has been showered  with aggressive looks. The angry naked streetfighter somehow resembles Dazzler from Honda. It has quite a similar tank extention, and also headlights of Yamaha FZ16.



The mean machine, SYM Wolf T2 250 or SB 250Ni, gets 6 speed transmission and fuel injection. Our very own tacho and speedo and odo adorn the digital analog instrument. The front gets a 288mm petal disc while the rear is decorated with another 222mm unit. Telescopic fork at the front and a monoshock at the rear wheel will dutifully carry out the suspension. Standing pretty heavy at 173 kg, it has been awarded with power enough to glide this mass beautifully. Those gone-era alloys are a put off, but a heavy exhaust, a sexily chiseled tank, those cute LED tail lamps, step seat, colors of yellow, black and white  make it quite appealing to the eyes.

Now most of the hopes and desires rest upon the price. Since CBR250R, non ABS, is already selling Rs. 3.28 lakhs in Malaysia, the Wolf is being expected to come at 2.95 lakhs. What might now work in favor of this bike is that this co-partner, SYM is not much known in India, so XYZ amount might not work here. To make enthusiasts drool yet more will be its price, if it’s kept close to Rs. 1 lakh.
The fact remains that neither SYM nor Mahindra has made any announcement of this warrior for India. As per speculations, since all its competitions are already doing good in India, this might as well be launched here well in time.

So…is it still Pulsar 200NS for you? Or would you go for Mojo or else the WOLF? Highly awaited launches, for sure!
