    2025 Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z Updated With Better Equipment

    2025 Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z
    When a motorcycle manufacturer launches a product and then buyers and prospective customers give feedback for changes, that’s usually a call for action in a future update. Not for Bajaj, though. The company has just updated its Pulsar NS400Z with better equipment in just a year since it was originally launched.
    This aligns with Bajaj’s commitment to serving motorcycling enthusiasts with a well-engineered product and shows how much the company values customer and media feedback. Bajaj is offering better equipment with 2025 Pulsar NS400Z addressing some of the reservations that customers had expressed with this motorcycle. Let’s take a look at all these changes.
    2025 Pulsar NS400Z
    2025 Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z
    As revealed in the video by Machine Rules, Bajaj Auto has updated the ‘biggest ever Pulsar’, the Pulsar NS400Z in India. Updated 2025 model has started to arrive at dealerships. There seems to be a price bump with this update of around Rs 8,000 over the previous Ex-sh price of Rs 1.83 lakh.
    2025 Pulsar NS400Z
    On the surface, 2025 Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z looks like it hasn’t been changed at all. That’s because the colours and graphics remain identical to 2024 model. The most notable change with 2025 model is in its tyres. Bajaj has up-sized rear tyre from 140-section to 150-section for a larger contact patch between tyre and road surface.
    2025 Pulsar NS400Z Sintered Brake Pads
    Also, these tyres are now Apollo Alpha H1, which is Apollo’s top-spec tyres, promising better grip and traction. It has to be noted that Pulsar NS400Z used to come with MRF REVZ-S tyres. Second change is in the form of sintered brake pads over the previous organic ones, which should offer much better stopping power and offer an improved feel at the levers.

    Improved equipment
    Handling and braking were some of the criticisms by customers and enthusiasts towards Pulsar NS400Z. With 2025 Pulsar NS400Z update, Bajaj is fixing both and making the motorcycle more appealing to prospective buyers. Other than these changes, 2025 Pulsar NS400Z is completely carried over as it was with the same features and other components.

    Because this is a MY25 update, Bajaj Auto has also made changes to its engine to bring it in line with the latest BS6 P2 OBD2B emission standards set forth by the Indian Government. This is a 373cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled unit that is capable of delivering around 40 bhp and 35 Nm, mated to a 6-speed gearbox.

    2025 Bajaj Pulsar NS200 Single ABS Variant Without USD Forks Reach Showroom

    2025 Bajaj Pulsar NS200 Single ABS VariantIn 2024, Pulsar NS200 got a major update with new styling cues and features. For 2025, Bajaj Auto is expanding the Pulsar NS200’s appeal with a more affordable variant that gets less premium components than the model introduced in 2024. 2025 Bajaj Pulsar NS200 Single ABS variant without USD forks have reached showrooms. Let’s take a closer look.
    Pulsar NS200 Single ABS Variant
    For a long time, Bajaj Pulsar has been a popular name in the premium street motorcycle genre. With the Pulsar NS200, Bajaj introduced a more premium powertrain and made performance and sophistication affordable to the masses. With the 2024 model, Bajaj improved on this motorcycle with new design and features along with more premium componentry.
    2025 Bajaj Pulsar NS200 Single ABS Variant
    Fast forwarding to April 2025, Bajaj is carving out a more affordable variant of Pulsar NS200 with less premium componentry to strike a more attractive pricing. This will help Bajaj to boost its appeal in India’s premium street bike segment and boost the sales of Pulsar brand, which is its #1 volume generator.
    As seen in the video by Sunil Tech Knowledge, we can see 2025 Bajaj Pulsar NS200 Single ABS variant has been reaching showrooms. It is offered in the same colour options as regular Pulsar NS200 launched last year. These include Cocktail Wine Red – White, Glossy Ebony Black, Metallic Pearl White and Pewter Grey – Blue.
    2025 Bajaj Pulsar NS200 Single ABS Variant
    The main changes with the new affordable variant is that Bajaj is offering conventional 37mm RSU telescopic front forks. These are less premium than the USD front forks Bajaj used to offer on the model launched in 2024. Also, ABS is now single channel only, acting on the front wheel mated to a 300mm rotor and Grimeca calipers.
    What all have changed?
    The model launched in 2024 came with dual-channel ABS as standard. Which will continue to be offered in the top variant along with USD front forks. Other than these two changes, we don’t see any other revisions to differentiate the new affordable variant with the fully kitted-out model launched last year.
    2025 Bajaj Pulsar NS200 Single ABS Variant
    This is a good thing as Bajaj is offering the same fully digital instrument cluster with Bluetooth and Navigation. Lighting setup including LED DRLs, LED headlights, LED tail lights and LED turn indicators have been retained. Wider 100-section front tyre and 130-section rear tyre are part of the equipment list too.

    Also retained, is the 199.5cc liquid-cooled SOHC 4V/cyl single-cylinder engine that is capable of generating 24 bhp of peak power and 18.7 Nm of peak torque, mated to a 6-speed gearbox. It will be BS6 OBD2B emission standard compliant. Bajaj will launch this model soon and pricing will be more effective than the top-spec model. More

    2025 Bajaj Pulsar NS160 Launched With New Features

    2025 Bajaj Pulsar NS160 LaunchedWith an enhanced tech package, the 2025 Bajaj Pulsar NS160 resonates better with the needs of its target audience
    One of Bajaj’s popular Pulsar bikes, the NS160 has received updates at regular intervals. The 2025 model has been launched with riding modes of Road, Rain and Off-road. Bajaj Pulsar NS160 will continue to rival the likes of TVS Apache RTR 160 4V and Hero Xtreme 160R in the affordable 160cc street bike segment.
    Bajaj Pulsar NS160 – Riding modes
    With riding modes of Road, Rain and Offroad, enthusiasts can expect a better overall performance when dealing with varying terrains and environments. Riding modes onboard the Pulsar NS160 adjust the ABS intervention to suit different terrains. Road mode is designed for everyday use with standard ABS intervention.
    2025 Bajaj Pulsar NS160 Riding Modes
    Rain mode increases ABS sensitivity to prevent skidding on wet surfaces. Off-road mode reduces ABS action on the rear wheel, allowing for better control on loose surfaces like dirt and gravel. Offering riding modes for 160cc motorcycle class might seem unnecessary, but it offers a dash of confidence in young riders.
    If we compare with rival offerings, the TVS Apache RTR 160 4V offers riding modes of Urban, Rain and Sport. As the name suggests, Urban mode is for city roads that need quick acceleration and deceleration. The ABS intervention is programmed for a sharp response in Urban mode. In Rain mode, the ABS action is enhanced for better control over slippery environments. In Sport mode, the TVS Apache RTR 160 4V delivers maximum power and optimized ABS response.
    2025 Bajaj Pulsar NS160 Mode Button
    Another rival is Hero Xtreme 160R 4V. It does not have any riding modes. However, it has other exciting features such as 1st-in-segment drag race timer with two modes. In D1 mode, users can record their 0-60 km/h speed. The D2 mode measures quarter mile timing – 0 to 402 meters.
    Other tech features
    With the addition of riding modes, Bajaj Pulsar NS160’s tech package has been further enhanced. The bike already offers features such as turn-by-turn navigation, distance to empty readout, gear position indicator, average fuel economy and real-time fuel economy. As seen in the video by Machine Rules, the fully digital instrument console displays speedometer, RPM meter, fuel gauge, odometer and trip meter.
    2025 Bajaj Pulsar NS160
    Users can pair their smartphone via Bluetooth to access turn-by-turn navigation, calls and text alerts and check mobile battery status. The bike also has a USB mobile charging port. Apart from the riding modes, there are no other major updates to the 2025 Bajaj Pulsar NS160. The bike has a sporty, dominating road presence, which is one of its key USPs.
    Some of the key features include aggressive headlamp design, all-LED lighting, USD front forks, Grimeca brake callipers, sculpted fuel tank, sporty graphics, split seats, underbelly exhaust and split grab rails. A total of four colour options are available – Cocktail Wine Red, Ebony Black, Pearl Metallic White and Pewter grey.

    Powering the bike is a 160.3 cc, oil cooled engine that generates 17.2 PS and 14.6 Nm of torque. Both ends have 17-inch wheels, wrapped in 100/80 front and 130/70 rear tubeless tyres.

    Bajaj Pulsar NS125 ABS Variant LaunchedWith improved braking performance, Pulsar NS125 riders can accelerate and zip through the streets with greater confidence
    For its top-selling Pulsar range, Bajaj has introduced new features at regular intervals. The latest update is for Pulsar NS125 that gets single-channel ABS. With enhanced safety, Pulsar NS125 will be in a better position to challenge rivals like Hero Extreme 125R, TVS Raider and Honda SP125.

    Bajaj Pulsar NS125 – Braking setup
    While the front wheel has a 240 mm disc brake, the rear has a 130 mm drum brake. The outgoing model is offered with a combi-braking setup (CBS). Pulsar NS125 is one of the most powerful machines in its class. That’s why it is essential to have a robust braking system. It is possible that the single-channel ABS for Pulsar NS125 could have been introduced based on market feedback.
    Bajaj Pulsar NS125 ABS Variant Launched
    Bajaj is among the brands that keenly listen to consumer inputs and adapt accordingly. With more braking power at their disposal, users can push their Pulsar NS125 bike to its limits. Whether it’s everyday commutes or highway cruising, the ABS will make the rides safer and more predictable. Managing slippery conditions also becomes easier with this advanced braking system, providing better control and confidence on the road.
    Pulsar NS125 braking performance vs. rivals
    Talking about rival offerings, single-channel ABS is currently available with Hero Xtreme 125R. There are two variants, one with CBS and the other with single-channel ABS. The CBS variant has a 240 mm disc at the front, whereas the ABS variant has a 276 mm disc. Rear drum brake of 130 mm is the same for both variants.

    Another rival is TVS Raider which does not get an ABS option. The bike is offered with only CBS which TVS refers to as the Synchronized Braking Technology (SYNCRO SBT). TVS Raider has a 240 mm disc at front and a 130 mm drum brake at the rear. Honda SP125 is another popular choice in the 125cc segment. The bike has a 240 mm disc at front and 130 mm drum brake at the rear. Honda SP125 utilizes a combi-brake system with an equalizer. ABS option is not available with Honda SP125.
    Bajaj Pulsar NS125 – Standard features
    Excluding the single-channel ABS update, there are no other changes to Pulsar NS125. Powering the bike is a 124.45 cc, air-cooled, SOHC, DTS-i Ei engine that generates 12 PS and 11 Nm of torque. It is mated to a 5-speed constant mesh gearbox. The power output is slightly higher than all three rivals. Pulsar NS125 also leads in torque output, excluding only the TVS Raider which generates 11.2 Nm.
    Bajaj Pulsar NS125 ABS Variant Launched
    Bajaj Pulsar NS125 has 17-inch wheels at both ends. Suspension setup comprises telescopic forks at front and a mono-shock unit at the rear.

    New Bajaj Pulsar N160 Single Seat Variant Launched – Walkaround

    New Bajaj Pulsar N160 Single SeatA single seat might be more relevant in the Indian context, as it can accommodate more passengers and carry a variety of everyday loads
    Bajaj has introduced a new single seat variant of its popular Pulsar N160 motorcycle. Launched likely to fulfil family-oriented needs, the single seat Pulsar N160 will help access a new segment of users. This variant is around Rs 10,000 cheaper than the standard base variant.
    Bajaj Pulsar N160 single seat variant – Key highlights
    In addition to the single piece seat replacing the split seats, there are some other changes as well. For example, the split grab rails at the rear have been replaced with a more robust single-piece grab rail. This will be useful when there’s a need to accommodate more passengers. The thick grab rail also seems strong enough to support heavy loads. Earlier also, Bajaj had finetuned its products in line with practical necessities of users.
    New Bajaj Pulsar N160 Single Seat
    A relevant example is Bajaj Freedom CNG bike that comes with an extra-long seat. A similar approach is probably being used for the Pulsar N160 as well. The single-piece seat of Pulsar N160 seems quite comfy for both the rider and pillion. The scooped front section should ensure extra comfort for the rider even during longer journeys. The seat is narrow at the front, making it easier for users to put their feet on the ground.
    Pulsar N160 single seat variant has standard 37 mm telescopic forks at the front and a Nitrox monoshock suspension at the rear. The bike has 300 mm and 230 mm disc brakes at front and rear, respectively. However, as compared to the standard base variant that has dual-channel ABS, the single seat variant gets a single-channel ABS.
    New Bajaj Pulsar N160 Single Seat
    The top variant of Pulsar N160 is equipped with 37 mm USD forks in golden finish. Pulsar N160 has 17-inch wheels at both ends, wrapped in 100/80 front and 130/70 rear tubeless tyres. The bike has a ground clearance of 165 mm and a 14-litre fuel tank. Low seat height of 795 mm helps in achieving optimal control and handling.
    New Bajaj Pulsar N160 Single Seat
    Pulsar N160 performance
    Powering Bajaj Pulsar N160 is a 164.82 cc, single cylinder, SOHC, 2-valve, air cooled engine. It generates 16 PS and 14.65 Nm of torque and is mated to a constant mesh 5-speed gearbox. In terms of its visual profile, Pulsar N160 single seat variant is the same as the standard base variant. There are no changes to the colours and graphics. The bike has bi-functional LED projector headlamp with LED DRLs. At the rear, there’s a LED tail lamp with a glitter pattern. Turn indicators are halogen units.
    [embedded content]
    Tech package includes a digital console with Bluetooth support. Users can access call alerts, message notifications and fuel alerts. A USB charging port is provided at the front. The top variant of Pulsar N160 has additional features such as turn-by-turn navigation and ABS ride modes of Road, Rain and Off-Road. More

    2025 Bajaj Pulsar RS200 Arrives At Dealer Yard – Walkaround Video

    2025 Bajaj Pulsar RS200Since the launch of Bajaj Pulsar RS200 a decade ago in 2015, enthusiasts have been craving for an update. Bajaj heard the cries and just launched the upgraded 2025 Pulsar RS200 at an attractive price point of Rs 1.84 lakh (Ex-sh). Right after the launch, units of 2025 Bajaj Pulsar RS200 reached showrooms. Let’s take a look.
    2025 Bajaj Pulsar RS200
    At the beginning of calendar year 2025, Bajaj launched updated Pulsar RS200 at Rs 1.84 lakh (Ex-sh). However, it is not what buyers and enthusiasts seem to have been craving for. There are minimal changes to this motorcycle, but most of these updates are meaningful and bring the motorcycle to 2025 in terms of technology.
    2025 Bajaj Pulsar RS200 New Instrument Cluster
    As seen in the video by 6 Speed, units of 2025 Bajaj Pulsar RS200 have reached dealerships. The colour we see in this video is Pearl Metallic White. The other two colours for 2025 Pulsar RS200 include Active Black Satin and Glossy Racing Red. All three colours have been priced at the same Rs 1.84 lakh (Ex-sh).
    Buyers will have to decide whether they want a fully faired Pulsar RS200 at Rs 1.84 lakh (Ex-sh), or cough up Rs 1,000 more to buy the Pulsar NS400Z. Priced at Rs 1.85 lakh (Ex-sh), Pulsar NS400Z is incredible value for the money and even gets USD telescopic front forks as standard that Pulsar RS200 misses out on.
    2025 Bajaj Pulsar RS200 LED Headlights
    That said, the appeal of a fully-faired motorcycle with as much flair as Pulsar RS200 is hard to resist. With 2025 model, Bajaj has offered a new USB charging port for smartphones or action cameras. This is still Type-A port and not Type-C, which is fine and not a deal-breaker. Tail section is completely new and gets revised LED tail lights with LED turn indicators.
    Headlights are still projector units for both low and high beam. But these headlights are now populated by LEDs and not halogens. The main update, however, is its fully digital colour instrument cluster that supports Bluetooth and turn-by-turn navigation. This is the same boned and laminated screen we saw with Pulsar NS400Z. To control this screen, we have updated switchgear with a Mode button.
    Updated Bajaj Pulsar RS200 LED Tail Lights
    What are the updates to componentry?
    Where componentry is concerned, Bajaj Auto has made efforts to offer an update with 2025 Pulsar RS200. We get new brake callipers from Grimeca at the front and rear, replacing ByBre units. There’s dual-channel ABS with ABS modes. Front tyre is now 110-section and rear tyre 140-section. These are fatter when opposed to the 100-section and 130-section units in preceding model. RSU telescopic front forks continue as they were, even though Pulsar NS160 gets USDs.
    The same 199.5cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder KTM-derived engine continues to do duties on updated Pulsar RS200. This engine is capable of generating 24.1 bhp of peak power and 18.7 Nm of peak torque. A 6-speed gearbox and a slipper clutch to prevent wheel hopping while down-shifting is also notable.
