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

      by

      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

      by

      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

      by

      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

      by

      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 Dominar 125 In The Making? What To Expect From Raider Rival?

      by

      Bajaj Dominar 125?While the rest of this upcoming Bajaj Dominar 125 motorcycle looks similar to a Pulsar NS125, the headlight appears similar to bigger DominarsIf there is one motorcycle brand that currently rules the premium commuter motorcycle segment, it is Bajaj Auto. The company seems like it is expanding its 125cc lineup with a new motorcycle. Considering there is already a Pulsar NS125 on sale, the speculations point to a possible introduction of Dominar brand to 125cc segment.Bajaj Dominar 125 In The Making?The brand’s Pulsar lineup has been a staple among Indian motorcycle enthusiasts and is the highest volume generator for Bajaj. But the flagship Dominar line often takes a back seat where sales are concerned. Currently, Bajaj has Dominar 250 and Dominar 400 on sale. But, what if there was a Dominar 125?Bajaj Dominar 125 Vs Pulsar NS125Analysing Bajaj’s sales patterns, the 125cc segment is company’s golden goose. Bajaj could be looking at expanding the Dominar nameplate and associated sales with its high-performing (where sales are concerned) 125cc platform. For context, Bajaj sold 257 units of Dominar 250 and 441 units of Dominar 400 in February 2024.In the same period, Bajaj sold 1,12,544 Pulsars out of which 62,207 units packed a 125cc engine. Yesterday, we covered Bajaj’s upcoming motorcycle as a Pulsar N125. But looking at it, we couldn’t help but wonder the uncanny similarities with Dominar’s headlight.Bajaj Dominar 125 Vs Dominar 250We can see that the motorcycle looks a lot more muscular and bulbous than Pulsar NS line. It seems like it is primarily bike’s headlights that give this massive presence and an overall muscular stance.Fuel tank from the NSComparing images of new test mule with Bajaj’s current motorcycle lineup, the results are quite interesting. We say this because recently spotted motorcycle gets the same alloy wheels, fuel tank and tail section as a Pulsar NS125. But the new headlight looks very similar to that of Dominar’s.Bajaj Dominar 125 Vs Pulsar NS125So, the speculation of a Bajaj Dominar 125 in the making is a possibility, considering the company has been mixing and matching componentry across platforms to yield unique motorcycles before. If launched, it will be positioned as the flagship 125cc offering above Pulsar NS125 currently on sale.There is another possibility of this being an export model only. Bajaj has been selling Pulsar NS line globally under Dominar brand and Dominar motorcycles under Pulsar brand. This could be a Dominar 125 for export markets, testing on Indian soil.Bajaj Dominar 125 Vs Dominar 250 More
