2022 Bajaj Pulsar RS 250 – Render
Bajaj will be gradually phasing out the older generation Pulsar motorcycles with the new-gen models in the future which may comprise a Pulsar RS 250
The launch of the new Pulsar 250 siblings- N250 and F250 has set the podium for Bajaj Auto to bring in the new generation Pulsar models. Two decades back when the Pulsar sub-brand was launched, the company started with Pulsar 150 and Pulsar 180. This time around Bajaj has taken a top-to-down approach by launching the biggest model first.
The Chakan-based bikemaker has revealed that there will be multiple new models based on the new chassis which will be replacing the older generation of Pulsar models. With two iterations of the quarter-litre Pulsar already hitting the market, Bajaj might contemplate a third one by introducing Pulsar RS 250.
A fully-faired version of Pulsar 250 might complete the flagship lineup of quarter-litre Pulsars. The RS 250 would sit right on top of the Pulsar portfolio as the most premium model followed by the semi-faired F250 and the naked N250. Pulsar 250 has been digitally re-imagined as a fully-faired sports bike by design artist Pratyush Rout wrapped around multiple colour options.
2022 Bajaj Pulsar RS 250 – Digital Rendering
The digital renderings of RS 250 show a few visual similarities with its semi-faired sibling like the same single-beam projector headlight flanked by twin LED DRLs. Unlike F250, RS 250 flaunts a fully-faired body that covers most of the internals and running gear and only exposes a part of the engine, frame and rear subframe. The motorcycle also gets a chunkier front mudguard thus enhancing its ‘big bike’ appeal.

Another visible variation is a larger front windscreen which would provide greater protection from wind blasts at higher speeds. The fuel tank in RS 250 looks a lot beefier than the one in F250 or N250 and mimics contemporary high-end sports bikes. The tail section is identical to the current 250cc Pulsars with a slightly raked pillion seat and split grab rails.
Other visual similarities include a split-seating setup, a stubby exhaust canister, an engine underbelly cowl and a rear tyre hugger. Colour-coded alloy wheel rims have been carried forward from the 250cc siblings that add to the visual appeal of Pulsar RS 660. Design of the alloy wheels has been updated as well which provides further distinction between F250 and RS 250.
Similar mechanicals to N250, F250
Powering RS 250 will be the same 249cc single-cylinder, SOHC, two-valve, oil-cooled engine which kicks out 24.5 bhp and 21.5 Nm of peak torque. This engine is paired with a five-speed gearbox with assist and slipper clutch. Hardware configurations of the motorcycle also appear to be identical to the other two siblings.
This includes a suspension setup that comprises 37mm telescopic forks at front and mono-shock at rear. Braking duties will be handled by single disc brakes at both ends aided by a single-channel ABS. Whether or not Bajaj will introduce such a motorcycle in future can only be verified by the company. More

Pulsar F250 and N250 – Differences
Both the bikes share some striking similarities in terms of design and are yet distinctly different where positioning and riding stance is concerned. Both Pulsars receive LED projector headlights and massive tyres measuring 100/80 R17 front and 130/70 R17 rear. They also share the same tubular framework and disc brake arrangement standing 300 mm front and 230 mm rear while single-channel ABS is offered as common features along with 14 liter fuel tank capacities.
Feature wise, the Pulsar F250 and N250 also sport an ‘Infinity Display’ instrument console. This includes a gear position indicator, distance-to-empty readout, range indicator and clock along with a USB charging socket near the fuel tank flap. Both the bikes sport split seats, LED tail lamp and multi-spoke alloy wheels. Striking differences also tell the new Pulsar F250 and N250 apart. For starters, they are positioned in two varying segments.
Bajaj Pulsar 250cc First Owner Takes Delivery
Positioning and Rivals – Pulsar N250 is a naked street-fighter while the F250 is a semi fared motorcycle. The N250 takes on the Suzuki Gixxer 250 in its segment even as the latter is priced significantly higher. In the same price segment it will also take on Yamaha FZ 25 and TVS Apache RTR 200 4V. N250 has no direct rival but will compete with Suzuki Gixxer SF and Hero Xtreme 200S in a similar price range.
Colour Options and Price – Even as both Pulsar F250 and N250 share a common colour scheme of Techno Grey, the F250 gets an additional colour of Racing Red to set it apart. Pricewise the N250 is priced at Rs 1.38 lakh while the Pulsar F250 is more expensive by Rs 2,000 at Rs 1.40 lakh.
Features – True to its touring stance, the Pulsar F250 gets a tall windscreen for rider protection and sharp body panels along with reverse boomerang shaped LED DRLs. It also sports clip on handle bars. The N250 on the other hand receives a more contemporary design with LED DRLs and single LED projector headlamp. Handle bars are flat and wide set for better maneuverability in city traffic conditions and relating to better cornering. Another difference is that the rear-view mirrors of the street fighter are installed on the front apron while the its naked counterpart gets similar units which are mounted on the handlebar.
Kerb Weight – This is another area where the two new Pulsars differ, albeit marginally. The Bajaj Pulsar N250 weighs a total of 162 kgs as against a kerb weight of 164 kgs seen on its semi faired F250 counterpart.
Engine Specs – Sharing identical engines, Bajaj Pulsar N250 and F250 are powered by a BS6 compliant 249.07cc, single cylinder, 4stroke, SOHC, 2 valve, oil cooled, fuel injected engine. This engine offers 24.5 hp power at 8,750 rpm and 21.5 Nm peak torque at 6,500 rpm mated to a 5 speed manual gearbox with assist and slipper clutch.

Render by Indian Autos BlogNew-gen Bajaj Pulsars will get an overhauled design along with new features and an updated engine
The Pulsar range of motorcycles received a fresh breath of life when Bajaj launched two new flagship Pulsar models in the form of Pulsar N250 and Pulsar F250. The series of sporty commuter motorcycles recently completed two decades in the Indian market and has reached cult status for enthusiastic riders on a budget.
However, competition in recent years has stiffened with TVS pulling new tricks with its Apache brand of motorcycles. Some of the smaller Pulsars now appear to be outdated since they haven’t received a major upgrade in many years. Bajaj, however, has regularly provided all its models with small cosmetic and feature updates.
New-Gen Pulsar Range
Currently, the Chakan-based bikemaker retails a bunch of Pulsar models with different engine displacements including 125, 150, 180, 220F, NS125, NS160, NS200 and RS200. At the launch of Bajaj Pulsar 250 range recently, Bajaj announced that they will be discontinuing their existing range of Pulsar motorcycles and updating them to a new generation in the coming months.
Bajaj has been working on developing new generation models of smaller Pulsars. From the 125cc to the 200cc of Pulsar is expected to get updated in the next one year. Majority of Pulsar sales are achieved by the Pulsar 125 and the Pulsar 150. It is likely that these are the two which get updated first.
New Gen Pulsar 250
With the launch of new gen 250cc Pulsars, it is likely that Bajaj might discontinue the 220F. In fact, the F250 looks spiritual successor to the 220F – with a similar semi-faired design. In terms of sales, the 220F manages to sell about 5-7k units a month. If the 220F gets discontinued, the new F250 would benefit directly in sales.
Possible updates
The new-gen Pulsars should incorporate a brand new design, a new chassis and updated powertrains. Bajaj could also throw in some new features on the new Pulsar models such as new semi-digital instrument console.
That said, it would be some time before Bajaj actually introduces the new-gen Pulsar bikes in the country. The Pulsar lineup will most probably start with Pulsar 125 and top out at Pulsar 250 with Pulsar 150 and Pulsar 200 in between. Bajaj is unlikely to go beyond the quarter-litre Pulsars as it already has the Dominar range and is also working with Triumph for a new line of motorcycles.
New Pulsar 250
Both Pulsar N250 and F250 are the same motorcycle underneath their slightly different attire. The former gets a naked design while the latter gets a semi-faired styling. There are also slight differences in the riding posture of the two bikes due to different handlebars.
Powering Pulsar 250 is a 249cc single-cylinder, air/oil-cooled motor that kicks out 24 bhp and 21.5 Nm of peak torque and is paired with a 5-speed gearbox with a slipper clutch. The bikes get a new split-tubular frame which is suspended on conventional telescopic front forks and mono-shock at rear. More

New Bajaj Pulsar 250cc LaunchedAll three quarter-litre motorcycles in this space are closely specced to each other, price and engine output being the only major differentiation
Bajaj has finally launched its flagship model in the Pulsar range of motorcycles- Pulsar 250 in two iterations. The naked one is called N250 while the semi-faired version is named F250. Most of the specifications of Pulsar 250 are on the expected lines as it has been covered vigorously over the last few months.
Pulsar 250 directly competes against its Japanese rivals- Yamaha FZ25 and Suzuki Gixxer 250. Like Pulsar 250, Gixxer 250 is offered in two iterations- naked and semi-faired (SF 250) whereas FZ25 is only offered as a naked streetfighter. The naked and semi-faired iterations of both Pulsar and Gixxer are similar, barring their styling.
New Bajaj Pulsar 250 Vs Yamaha FZ25 Vs Suzuki Gixxer 250
While design is purely a subjective thing, each of the motorcycles mentioned above looks sharp. However, if one wants to opt for a faired look, then FZ25 cannot be the choice. While exact dimensions of Pulsar 250 haven’t been revealed yet, it offers a wheelbase of 1351 mm which is bang in between FZ25 (1340 mm) and Gixxer (1360 mm). Pulsar 250 is also the heaviest among its rivals at 162 kg for N250 and 164 kg for F250.
On the other hand, FZ25 is the lightest in the category. Both Pulsar and Gixxer offer a ground clearance of 165 mm while FZ25 offers 160 mm of ground clearance. Seat height of all three bikes is around the same region from 795 mm to 800 mm. The main difference among these three models is that Pulsar 250 is based on a tubular frame while the other two are based on a diamond frame.

Powertrain Specs & Features
Coming to powertrain, all three are powered by a 249cc single-cylinder SOHC engine. However, Gixxer 250 churns out the highest output of 26 bhp and 22.2 Nm. The reason behind this is while others offer a 2-valve setup, Suzuki offers a 4-valve setup in Gixxer 250.
FZ25 is by far the least powerful in the segment. While Gixxer 250 is paired with a 6-speed gearbox, Pulsar 250 and FZ25 are offered with a 5-speed transmission.
All three motorcycles offer more or less the same amount of features with a few variations. Common features on all three motorcycles include LED headlight, LED taillight and automatic headlight. While Pulsar 250 is the only one to offer a USB charger as standard, it misses out on a fully digital instrument cluster and a dual-channel ABS, like its compatriots.

Price
Coming to prices, Gixxer 250 is the priciest among them with both its naked and semi-faired iterations priced at Rs 1.71 lakh and Rs 1.83 lakh. Pulsar 250 trunks out to be the most affordable in this space with prices of Rs 1.38 lakh and Rs 1.40 lakh for the naked version and semi-faired version respectively. More
