    2024 Bajaj Pulsar N250 Review – First Ride With New Updates

    2024 Bajaj Pulsar N250 ReviewBajaj has launched the updated Pulsar N250 with lots of new features – Prices start from Rs 1.51 lakhFollowing the onslaught of connectivity updates by Bajaj Auto since the beginning of this year, the company has rolled out the renewed version of the Pulsar N250, but with more than just Bluetooth and a connected console. The 2024 Pulsar N250 comes with a whole range of features that is truly enticing to its demographic. The selling points include inverted telescopic suspension, Dual Channel ABS with three ride modes (Road, Rain and Off-Road), Traction Control System, and wider tyres.2024 Bajaj Pulsar N250 Review – Features and TechnologyThe USD fork made by Endurance, is meant to improve the handling and be more durable to battering on Indian roads. It also serves as an eye candy on the N250 especially since it comes in champagne gold finish on the Pearl Metallic White and Glossy Racing Red versions of the bike. On the Brooklyn Black N250 the fork is also black in colour.2024 Bajaj Pulsar N250 ReviewThe three braking modes of the Dual Channel ABS are programmed to regulate the braking intervention to prevent lock-up keeping in mind the variety of road conditions even a single stretch of ride can include. The Road mode is the standard setting. The Rain mode is developed for rainy and wet road conditions with the obvious maximum eagerness to intervene.The Off-Road mode is not strictly for adventure off-roading, it is programmed to be suitable for rural road conditions that may involve gravel, loose sand and unevenly broken patches. In order to engage the Off-Road mode, you gotta ride the bike below 20 kmph, but to switch to or between Road or Rain modes there’s no speed rule, it can be done anytime on the fly.2024 Bajaj Pulsar N250 Review2024 Bajaj Pulsar N250 Review – Braking and HandlingThe N250 does deserve brownie points for remembering the last used ABS mode. While the same cannot be said for the Traction Control System, which if turned off will come back alive the next time you key up the motorcycle. However it remains off until you pull the key out, like if you kill the engine with the switch or by careless clutch-work. Also, to switch off the TCS, you need to be in Off-Road ABS mode.2024 Bajaj Pulsar N250 ReviewDuring our brief test ride at Chennai, we rode over different surfaces and found that the braking was indeed dependable. It was sufficiently bite-y as well. The USD fork seemed to improve the confidence in handling and zipping across the tightly-meshed traffic.2024 Bajaj Pulsar N250 Review – User ExperienceThe LCD console that displays all the stats as well as the current status of the aforementioned systems, has a lot of information to show within very less real estate. The segmented display is also a buzz-kill, but considering the price point, the judgement has to be withdrawn.2024 Bajaj Pulsar N250 ReviewWhat can’t be, is the fact that a single button does all the work from scrolling down the menu, changing the Bluetooth settings and switching between the brake modes. And the Bluetooth is indeed useful for call and SMS alerts, and turn-by-turn navigation guidance from the phone.2024 Bajaj Pulsar N250 Review – Engine and PerformanceThe engine used is exactly the same as the outgoing model. It is the 249 cc single-cylinder four-valve air & oil-cooled motor, that generates 24.1 bhp of peak power at 8,750 rpm and 21.5 Nm of peak torque at 6,500 rpm. While the peers were discussing that Bajaj could’ve upgraded the gearbox to a 6-speed unit instead of the same 5-speed one, practically an upgrade didn’t feel necessary. The motor feels very alive with the current pairing and the rev-spacing between the gears is quite sporty already. The power delivery and ride composure while utilising that power are quite amazing for a bike of its price now that it’s got all these contemporary features.2024 Bajaj Pulsar N250 Review2024 Bajaj Pulsar N250 Review – VerdictBajaj Pulsar N250 2024 has raised the bar in terms of features and performance within its price range. With a host of updates including inverted telescopic suspension, Dual Channel ABS with multiple ride modes, and a Traction Control System, Bajaj has clearly aimed to cater to a diverse set of riders and road conditions. Overall, Bajaj seems to have once again hit the mark with the Pulsar N250, offering a compelling package that appeals to a wide range of riders, whether seasoned enthusiasts or newcomers attracted by its features and performance.

    2024 Bajaj Pulsar N160 For Latin Market Debuts – New Colours, Looks Upmarket

    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

    2024 Bajaj Pulsar N250 Compared With Rivals – Best Price:Performance Ratio!

    2024 Bajaj Pulsar N250 Compared With RivalsWhen 2024 Bajaj Pulsar N250 compared with rivals, it strikes a better price:performance ratio against Apache RTR 200, Hornet 2.0, Gixxer 250 and MT-15In a calculated move, Bajaj Auto is giving its indigenous 250cc platform a major boost with a recent update. Launched yesterday, 2024 Bajaj Pulsar N250 strikes a much higher VFM quotient with the introduction of a ton of new cycle parts, features and technology at a negligible price increment. But how does it compare to rivals?2024 Bajaj Pulsar N250 Compared With RivalsIf it was up to us, we would have compared the newly launched 2024 Bajaj Pulsar N250 with Suzuki Gixxer 250, Honda CB300F and Bajaj’s own Dominar 250. Except for Suzuki Gixxer 250, Bajaj doesn’t seem to be considering the other two as immediate rivals for the new Pulsar N250. Instead, Bajaj is positioning Pulsar N250 against Honda Hornet 2.0, TVS Apache RTR 200 4V, Yamaha MT-15 and Suzuki Gixxer 250.Starting with engine displacement, both Gixxer 250 and Pulsar N250 have the edge here with Yamaha MT-15 being the smallest engine. MT-15 has the least amount of torque at 14.1 Nm and Honnet 2.0 has the least power. If we take raw performance, it is Gixxer 250 that packs 26.5 bhp and 22.2 Nm, both best in this comparison.Bajaj N250 develops 24.5 bhp and 21.5 Nm, not far off from Gixxer. But Bajaj’s performance metrics are achieved earlier in the rev range than Gixxer, which might prove to be an advantage. MT-15 proves to be quite a screamer making its peak performance at much higher revs. When compared to Apache RTR 200, N250 has more power and torque and at lower revs. Bajaj doesn’t show gearbox stats in their table because N250 gets a 5-speed gearbox, while Gixxer 250 packs a 6-speed unit.2024 Bajaj Pulsar N250 Compared With RivalsWheelbase is the longest with Hornet 2.0 and shortest with MT-15. Apache RTR 200 scores some brownie points for offering the highest 180 mm ground clearance. Where Kerb weight is concerned, nothing can beat Yamaha’s MT-15 weighing just 139 kg, whereas the just-launched Pulsar N250 is in fact the heaviest at 164 kg.At the front, only Hornet 2.0, Pulsar N250 and Gixxer 250 offer 110-section tyres, while MT-15 offers 100-section and Apache 90-section. Where rear tyres are concerned, Gixxer offers the fattest 150-section tyre and Apache packs 130-section tyre, whereas others including N250 pack a 140-section tyre. N250 packs the biggest fuel tank at 14L, which is always appreciated.Pulsar N250 has best Price:Performance ratioBraking hardware is the most promising only with N250 and Gixxer 250 with 300 mm front disc. N250 has a larger 230 mm rear disc, though. Except for Hornet 2.0, all the vehicles offer dual-channel ABS. Except for Gixxer 250, all the vehicles offer a slipper clutch. N250 just offered Traction Control, while MT-15 was the only one to offer it.2024 Bajaj Pulsar N250 ColoursTVS loves to showcase a fatter brochure, hence Apache RTR 200 is the only one to get riding modes and ABS modes. With 2024 update, Pulsar N250 now gets three ABS modes too. Bajaj is the only one to offer a USB socket as standard. Honda Hornet lacks any sort of Bluetooth connectivity, while others offer it in varied functionality.MT-15 and Gixxer 250 can’t accept and reject calls, whereas Apache and Pulsar can. Only N250 and MT-15 have DTE (Distance To Empty) readout. A glaring omission in MT-15 is the lack of navigation, something with Pulsar N250, Gixxer 250 and RTR 200 offer. Bajaj wants to draw your attention towards the price-to-power ratio of Rs. 6,156 per PS and the price-to-torque ratio of Rs. 7,015 per PS. Both of them are lowest in segment, striking a stellar VFM proposition.Where pricing is concerned, Bajaj Pulsar N250 costs Rs. 1.51 lakh (ex-sh) and is not as affordable as the TVS Apache RTR 200 at Rs. 1,46,820 (ex-sh) and Honda Hornet 2.0 at Rs. 1.39 lakh (ex-sh). However, it is a better proposition when opposed to Yamaha MT-15 at Rs. 1.72 lakh (ex-sh) and Suzuki Gixxer 250 at Rs. 1.81 lakh (ex-sh). More

    Bajaj Pulsar 400 Launch Date 3rd May – To Be Priced Below Dominar?

    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 Launched At Rs. 1.51 Lakh – New Features, Componentry

    2024 Bajaj Pulsar N250 LaunchedAll these updates seen with 2024 Bajaj Pulsar N250 launched, might make their way on Pulsar F250 in the futureAfter around two decades when the first Pulsar was introduced in 2001, Bajaj launched Pulsar 250 twins in India a couple of years ago for an introductory price of Rs 1.38 lakh for the naked N250 and Rs 1.40 lakh for the semi-faired F250. Since launch, Pulsar 250 haven’t been updated until now. Say Namaste to the 2024 Bajaj Pulsar N250.2024 Pulsar N250 LaunchedAt the time of launch, Pulsar 250 was offered with two colour options – Racing Red and Techno Grey. The Caribbean Blue colour option was added later. But the 2024 Pulsar N250 gets three shades – Red, White and Black. Only the Black shade will get Black finish on USD forks and the other two get Gold finish on USD forks.2024 Bajaj Pulsar N250 BlackSpeaking of USD forks, that is among the primary updates with MY2024 Pulsar N250. This update primarily revolves around upgraded cycle parts, upgraded features and a brand new fully digital instrument cluster with Bluetooth connectivity along with turn-by-turn navigation. We have seen this cluster on recently updated NS200 and NS160 as well.Updates with cycle parts include the aforementioned USD forks. These are 37mm units and are sourced from Endurance. There is a fatter 140-section rear tyre that should ensure more traction and increase rideability. Both the fatter tyre and USD front forks add an overall muscular approach to motorcycle as well.2024 Bajaj Pulsar N250 14-Section Rear TyreWhere features are concerned, Bajaj Auto has added traction control to Pulsar N250 for the first time. This is a welcome addition that should contribute to overall safety aspect of this motorcycle. Traction control system can be turned off altogether, when the motorcycle is in Off-road ABS mode.Speaking of, Bajaj has also added ABS riding modes for the first time on Pulsar N250 as well. There are three of them in total – Rain, Road and Off-Road. Unlike the Traction Control, you can’t turn off ABS at rear wheel even in Off-Road mode.2024 Bajaj Pulsar N250 New ClusterWhere pricing is concerned, 2024 Bajaj Pulsar N250 costs Rs. 1,50,829 (ex-sh), which is a price hike of just Rs. 1,829 over its preceding model. The pricing seems to be more than justified when considering all the upgrades Bajaj has offered.PowertrainsThere are no powertrain updates for 2024 Pulsar N250. The same 249.07 cc, oil-cooled, single-cylinder engine generates 24.5 PS of max power at 8,750 rpm and 21.5 Nm of peak torque at 6,500 rpm. It is mated to a 5-speed constant mesh transmission. The bike is equipped with a slip and assist clutch.2024 Bajaj Pulsar N250 WhiteRear Nitrox mono-shock suspension unit is retained. The bike has 17-inch wheels at both ends, now shod with 100-section front and 140-section rear tubeless tyres. Braking system comprises 300mm front and 230mm rear disc with dual-channel ABS.Just like other Pulsar motorcycles, Pulsar 250 promises optimal torque availability across a wide rev range. As per user feedback, the bike can achieve a top speed of around 130 kmph. These updates could make their way to Pulsar F250 as well.Source More

    2024 Bajaj Pulsar 150 Reach Dealerships – New Features, Hardware, Graphics

    2024 Bajaj Pulsar 150 Reach DealershipsThe new and updated 2024 Bajaj Pulsar 150 is now better equipped to take on the likes of TVS Apache 160 2V and Honda Unicorn and Yamaha FZThe Pulsar range has been one of the most popular motorcycle sub-brands in India by a long shot. With immense popularity and loyalty, Pulsar still revs the heart of many motorcycling enthusiasts. The 125cc Pulsars might be the highest volume generators for Bajaj. But updating Pulsar 150 is just as crucial. That’s exactly what Bajaj is doing, a real update.2024 Bajaj Pulsar 150 Reach DealershipsWe say a real update because Pulsar 150 has been kept the same for a very long time. Sure, Bajaj updated Pulsar 150’s engine to meet BS6 P1 emission norms in 2020 and BS6 P2 emission norms in 2023. But design-wise and features-wise Pulsar 150 has been more or less the same since what, 2008?2024 Bajaj Pulsar 150 – Stylish GraphicsBajaj is not messing with the design of Pulsar 150 at all. Which is a good thing. Original Pulsar design is one of the most soothing and timeless we have seen. Whatever Pulsar brand is today, it is because of the legacy of Pulsar 150. A lot is riding on this update and Bajaj has kept it simple.Speaking of updates, there have to be new stickers and there are. As seen in the video by AutoTechInfo, Bajaj has offered new and more stylish graphics to entice younger audiences. These new graphics accompanied by 3D Pulsar logo on fuel tank lend a sporty appeal. Other design attributes like muscular tank shrouds and underbelly cowl are still present.[embedded content]New Instrument ScreenFor the first time in Pulsar 150’s history, Bajaj is offering a fully digital instrument console that we have seen with other Pulsars updated recently. We get a large LCD cluster that shows all the vehicular information at a glance. This replaces the old analog/digital instrument cluster. This cluster packed an analog tacho and digital speedo.Now, both the tacho and speedo are now digital with this new update and there is a gear position indicator as well. This cluster supports Bluetooth connectivity and you can connect your smartphone via Bajaj’s proprietary app. However, it would have been nicer if the company had offered 2024 Bajaj Pulsar 150 with turn-by-turn navigation features like recently updated NS160 and NS200.2024 Bajaj Pulsar 150 – New Digital ClusterIt has to be seen whether Bajaj is offering this instrument cluster as standard fitment or only with top-spec dual disc split seat variant that we see in the video. AutoTechInfo also mentioned dual-channel ABS, something that has never been offered on Pulsar 150 before. Other attributes like clip-on handlebar, split seat, dual disc brakes, 90/90-17 front and 120/80-17 rear tyres, USB charger, halogen turn indicators remain as they were.Powertrain is unchanged too. This 149.5cc single-cylinder air-cooled 2V SOHC engine still develops 13.8 bhp of peak power and 13.2 Nm of peak torque, mated to a 5-speed gearbox. The video quotes a price of Rs. 1,38,928 (on road, Uttar Pradesh) for this very top-spec 2024 Bajaj Pulsar 150. Proper ex-sh prices should be announced soon. More

    2024 Bajaj Pulsar N250 First Official Teaser Out – Badass In Making

    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. The existing ABS models are available at a starting price of Rs 1.50 lakh. More

    Bajaj Auto Sales March 2024 – 2W and CV Sales Increase YoY and YTD

    Bajaj ChetakBajaj Auto has posted significant growth both in terms of 2W and CV domestic sales and exports on a YoY basis while YTD exports dipped in both categoriesThe month of March 2024 showed off positive sales for Bajaj Auto Limited with a 25 percent overall growth in sales.

Exports saw an even higher percentage growth of 38 percent to 1,30,881 units shipped in March 2024, up from just 94,715 units exported in March 2023.
