The 2025 Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z is almost here—and it’s turning heads for good reason. With a beefed-up engine, sharper dynamics, and a dash of premium tech, this update is far more than just skin-deep. Whether you’re a long-time rider or simply curious about Bajaj’s next move, here’s a full rundown.
Engine
The real magic is under the tank. Bajaj has refined its 373cc liquid-cooled engine, bumping power up to 42.4bhp from the earlier 39.5bhp. While the gain may seem modest, it translates to livelier acceleration and a stronger top-end pull on the road. Performance now edges closer to the KTM 390 Duke Gen 2, making this Pulsar a more serious contender.
Torque is expected around 37Nm, though official figures aren’t out yet. Even so, it hints at smoother delivery and a punchier mid-range—ideal for both quick sprints and longer highway runs.
Features
Bajaj isn’t stopping at performance. One of the standout additions is a quickshifter—allowing clutchless upshifts and downshifts, typically seen in pricier models. It’s a big leap in everyday usability and rider thrill.
They’ve also added sintered brake pads, which significantly boost stopping power, especially during hard braking. Paired with wider tyres, this upgrade lends the NS400Z a more stable and confident ride.
Tyres
Tyre choice has been upgraded too. The bike now rolls on Apollo Alpha H1s—110/70-R17 up front and 150/60-R17 at the rear. These performance radials are tuned for grip and cornering, a big step up from its previous rubber setup.
Tyre Setup Overview:
| Position | Size | Type | Brand |
|---|---|---|---|
| Front | 110/70-R17 | Radial | Apollo Alpha H1 |
| Rear | 150/60-R17 | Radial | Apollo Alpha H1 |
Pricing
Naturally, with all these enhancements, pricing will nudge upward. Early estimates suggest a Rs. 10,000 hike over the current model. While not confirmed, the added value and performance more than justify it.
Launch
While Bajaj hasn’t nailed down a launch date, insiders say the NS400Z will arrive in showrooms within weeks. Once it does, it’ll square off against rivals like the KTM 390 Duke and TVS Apache RR310.
In all, the 2025 NS400Z looks set to be a well-balanced blend of power, features, and value—possibly one of the most complete Pulsars yet.
