Bajaj Pulsar

Latin-spec Bajaj Pulsar N160The Latin-spec Bajaj Pulsar N160 competes with TVS Apache RTR 160 4V, Hero Hunk 160 (Xtreme 160R), Honda X-Blade and Pulsar NS160Bajaj Auto in India has been on a launch spree bringing new Pulsars left right and centre. The company has recently updated Pulsar N160 in India along with Pulsar N150. There was a completely different update to Pulsar N160 globally which is a far more appealing proposition visually than what we got in India. Let’s take a look.Latin-Spec 2024 Bajaj Pulsar N160 DetbusOne of world’s leading 2W and 3W manufacturer, Bajaj Auto, has been serving many global markets shipping products manufactured in India. Latin American market is one of the largest markets that Bajaj caters to outside of India. Here, Bajaj sells a bunch of 160cc motorcycles in the form of Pulsar N160 and Pulsar NS160.Latin-spec Bajaj Pulsar N160Company’s strategy on a broader spectrum is to revamp the entire Pulsar portfolio in India in 2024. The new ‘Biggest Ever Pulsar’ is incoming too. In Latin market, however, the agenda is to offer more panache. In that regard, we can see dual-tone colours on Pulsar N160 that are not on offer in India.We get Pearl Metallic White, Polar Sky Blue and Brooklyn Black shades in India. In Latin market, Bajaj is offering two striking dual-tone shades – Khaki Green with Silver and Navy Blue with Silver. Along with that, Bajaj has gone overboard with stickers for Latin market. These stickers are in contrasting colours and they’re executed very nicely and almost lend a triple-tone effect.Latin-spec Bajaj Pulsar N160 – Old ClusterWe also liked the the new and stylish side body guard or engine guard or crash guard with a plastic cover that looks much more sophisticated. Especially when compared to the exposed bent steel pipe crash guard we get in India. The stickers on body panels covering rear subframe look nice.[embedded content]Wheel pinstripe and Dual-channel ABS stickers are finished in contrasting shade – a fluorescent neon yellow with Khaki shade and neon orange with Navy Blue shade. Because of these attributes, Latin-spec Bajaj Pulsar N160 looks like a different machine altogether, despite being the same bike as sold in India. The power of colours and stickers, eh?We want these colours too, Bajaj AutoLooking at the Latin-spec model, we wish Bajaj Auto gave these striking dual-tone shades with those funky stickers and the premium-looking crash guards to India-spec model too. Especially that Khaki Green shade and Silver with neon yellow contrasts. Rest of the componentry is identical to India-spec model.Latin-spec Bajaj Pulsar N160Where features are concerned, Latin-spec model lacks the new fully digital instrument cluster with Bluetooth connectivity that we got last month. The same 164.82cc single-cylinder oil-cooled engine with around 16 bhp and 14.5 Nm is seen with Latin-spec model, mated to a 5-speed gearbox as well. There, Pulsar N160 competes against TVS Apache RTR 160 4V, Hero Hunk 160 (Xtreme 160R in India), Honda X-Blade, Gixxer 155, Yamaha FZ and Bajaj’s own Pulsar NS160. More

New Bajaj Pulsar Teaser OutWhen launched, Bajaj Pulsar NS400 can emerge as the most affordable 40 hp, 400cc bike in the countryOver the last few months, Bajaj has been busy updating its Pulsar range. It’s imperative since the Pulsar range contributes more than 2/3rd of the company’s domestic sales. Pulsar bikes are also popular across international markets. Share in exports is more than 25 percent.Bajaj Pulsar NS400 launch date confirmedEarlier this year, Bajaj Auto Managing Director Rajiv Bajaj had talked about the upcoming launch of the biggest Pulsar ever. While it was easy to guess a 400cc Pulsar, an exact launch date was not provided. It has now been confirmed that the biggest Pulsar NS400 will be launched on May 03. In the company’s lineup, the Pulsar NS400 will be positioned below the Dominar 400. It can be the most affordable bike in its class at the time of launch.New Bajaj Pulsar Teaser OutBajaj Pulsar NS400 – Specs, performanceOne of the possibilities is that Bajaj Pulsar NS400 could be built on the perimeter chassis in use with Pulsar NS200. It is capable of handling higher capacity engines. Moreover, the chassis is likely to be further strengthened to support the bigger engine. Talking about performance, Pulsar NS400 will be using the older 373cc single cylinder engine in use with Dominar 400. Even KTM 390 Adventure and RC 390 have the same engine.On the Dominar 400, the 373-cc engine delivers 40 PS and 35 Nm. Onboard the KTM bikes, the output is higher at 43.5 PS and 37 Nm. Whether Pulsar NS400 will choose to match the KTMs or stick to the lower state of tune remains to be seen. The engine will be paired with a 6-speed gearbox.New Bajaj Pulsar Teaser OutPulsar NS400 will be equipped with a slip and assist clutch. However, in view of the affordable pricing strategy, it is not certain if a quickshifter will be offered as standard. Expected to be lightweight in comparison to Dominar 400, upcoming Pulsar NS400 will deliver an agile performance.Some of the key features that will be offered as standard with Pulsar NS400 include USD forks and dual-channel ABS. The bike will have a full digital instrument console with Bluetooth connectivity. Users will be able to pair their smartphones to access a range of features and functionalities. Turn-by-turn navigation could be part of the tech package.Bajaj Pulsar NS400 launch priceThere are multiple options available in the 40 hp, 400cc club. Apart from Dominar and KTM bikes, there’s Triumph Speed 400 and 400X. Pulsar NS400 could be the most affordable option in this segment. As of now, the Dominar 400 is available at a starting price of Rs 2.31 lakh. The arrival of Pulsar NS400 could dent sales of Dominar 400. The latter hasn’t been performing as per expectations. Percentage share in sales in February was a minuscule 0.43 percent. Such factors put a question mark on the future of Dominar 400. More

2024 Bajaj Pulsar N250 TeaserAlong with the functional updates, Pulsar N250 could also get some new colour options and graphicsBajaj is currently busy updating its Pulsar range, the largest contributor to the company’s overall two-wheeler sales. Models that have been updated this year include Pulsar NS125, NS160 and NS200. New top-spec versions of Pulsar N150 and N160 have also been launched. Next update is likely for the biggest pulsars N250 and F250, as evident with the ongoing road tests.Pulsar N250 TeaserWhile there are no complaints about the performance of Pulsar N250 and F250, the bikes seem to lack in terms of tech integrations. Take for example a Bluetooth based full digital instrument cluster that is available with most bikes in the quarter litre segment. It is likely that focus on launching the biggest Pulsars at an affordable price point may have restricted the availability of premium features.2024 Bajaj Pulsar N250 TeaserHowever, based on market feedback, OEMs often introduce new updates. Today’s generation of riders want to be seamlessly connected at all times. Apparently, this segment of users is pretty huge and cannot be ignored. It is to note that Bajaj has already introduced a Bluetooth-based digital instrument cluster with the updated Pulsar NS200.It is likely that the same instrument module will now be installed on the Pulsar 250 twins. Users will be able to pair their smartphones via Bajaj Ride Connect App to access functions such as calls, text messages, signal level, phone battery status and turn-by-turn navigation.2024 Bajaj Pulsar N250 TeaserAnother key feature that the current Pulsar 250 model is missing are USD forks. This again is something that many bikes in this segment already have. Even other Pulsar bikes like NS160 and NS200 are equipped with USD forks. At the time of Pulsar 250 launch, enthusiasts were expecting USD forks as standard with the biggest Pulsar bikes. However, it was not even available as an optional feature. With the updated Pulsar 250 twins getting USD forks, users can expect better overall performance and safety.2024 Bajaj Pulsar N250 Teaser ? pic.twitter.com/V8lyGD5cAQ— RushLane (@rushlane) April 8, 2024Pulsar N250 and F250 new colour optionsAs of now, both Pulsar 250 bikes have only the Brooklyn Black colour shade. While the black shade presents a dominating look and feel, it may not be acceptable to everyone. The Pulsar 250 twins can certainly do better with a more vibrant and diverse colour palette. The bikes can also accommodate some new, sportier graphics. It remains to be seen how much effort Bajaj puts into these aspects.No performance boostNew versions of Pulsar N250 and F250 will continue with the existing 249.07 cc, single cylinder 4 stroke, SOHC, 2 valve, oil cooled, FI engine. It generates 24.5 PS of max power and 21.5 Nm of peak torque. The engine is mated to a constant mesh 5-speed gearbox. Most other hardware bits will be carried forward. It includes 300 mm front and 230 mm rear disc brakes, dual-channel ABS, rear monoshock suspension, 17-inch wheels and 100/80 / 130/70 tubeless tyres.With addition of USD forks and Bluetooth-based digital instrument cluster, Pulsar 250 twins will come with a higher price tag.
