      2025 Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z Updated With Better Equipment

      by

      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.
      2025 Pulsar NS400Z
      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.
      [embedded content]
      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 TVS Sport Gets New ES+ Variant – Launch Price Rs 61k

      by

      2025 TVS Sport ES+One of India’s leading 2W and 3W manufacturers, TVS Motor, has just launched a new variant with its Sport budget commuter motorcycle. This is TVS’ most affordable motorcycle and is positioned below the Star City+ and Raider 125. This Splendor rivalling commuter bike now gets attractive new colours with this new variant too. Let’s take a closer look.
      2025 TVS Sport
      The budget commuter motorcycle segment in India is vastly dominated by Hero MotoCorp with its evergreen Splendor lineup. Challenging this motorcycle is TVS Sport which offers a larger engine and associated performance and undercuts in pricing as well. With the 2025 Sport, TVS has launched a new variant to boost its appeal further.
      2025 TVS Sport Price List
      Called Self Start ES+, this new variant is priced at Rs 60,881 (Ex-sh, Delhi). 2025 TVS Sport Self Start ES+ is slotted above Self Start (ES) Alloy Wheels variant priced at Rs 59,881 (Ex-sh, Delhi) and below Self Start (ELS) Alloy Wheels variant priced at Rs 71,785 (Ex-sh, Delhi). One can call Self Start ES+ a mid-variant between the other two.
      2025 TVS Sport ES+ is offered in two colours and they stand out from other colourways offered with the remaining two variants. These include Grey Red and Black Neon. These colourways have nice finishes and minimalist graphics on fuel tank. Front headlight cowl and front mudguard are colour-coded too.
      2025 TVS Sport ES+ Grey Red
      Interestingly, ES+ is the only variant that gets a black pillion grab rail, while the other two variants get a Silver finish. One could say that ES+ is the sportiest version of TVS Sport commuter. ES+ is also the only variant in Sport’s lineup to get pinstriping on alloy wheels and these pinstriping are also colour-coded and not random, which is a nice touch.
      What does it get?
      Components of TVS Sport are pretty basic, owing to its market positioning and price tag. It gets RSU telescopic front forks and twin shock absorbers at the rear. Drum brakes are the only option to bring this motorcycle to a halt. There’s a 10L fuel tank and the kerb weight of this motorcycle is 112 kg and has a ground clearance of 175 mm.
      2025 TVS Sport ES+ Black Neon
      Powering this motorcycle is a 109.7cc single-cylinder air-cooled fuel-injected engine that is rated to deliver a peak power of 8.08 bhp at 7,350 RPM and 8.7 Nm of peak torque at 4,500 RPM, mated to a 4-speed gearbox. The top speed is 90 km/h. More

      MG Cyber GTS Coupe Debuts With 2+2 Seating

      by

      Cyber GTS Coupe from MG
      With the launch of Cyberster, MG got back to its roots of making Roadsters. Cyberster is the fastest MG Roadster MG has ever made. This 2-Door convertible roof with 2-Seater formula seems to have worked and has garnered a lot of positive impressions across the world and is even launching in India soon.
      Now, it is time to expand MG’s performance lineup and the company has just confirmed the launch of Cyber GTS Coupe. This is a 2-Door, Coupe 2+2 seater with a fixed roof version of Cyberster, which made its appearance at Goodwood Festival of Speed last year. Let’s take a closer look.
      Cyber GTS Coupe from MG
      MG Cyber GTS Coupe
      In a presentation at the Shanghai Motor Show, MG Motor confirmed it will launch a 2+2 seater 2-Door Coupe version of Cyberster Roadster. It is not yet revealed whether the coupe version will retain the swanky scissor doors (commonly called Lamborghini doors) seen in Roadster version or will Cyber GTS get conventional doors.
      What is confirmed, though, is the presence of a 2+2 seating on the inside where rear seats will probably be mostly for kids. Also confirmed, is a fixed roof that gets a stylish sloping Coupe design. This sloping roofline ends at the rear, where most rear lighting elements are likely to be retained.
      Cyber GTS Coupe from MG
      Similar story might be true at the front where most of Cyberster’s design may be carried over. With Cyber GTS, MG is paying homage to MGC GTS Sebring racing car, popular around the 60s. We hope MG opts for a pillar-less design in its glass area that looks dope.
      Powering this vehicle is likely to be the same 77 kWh battery pack that is capable of delivering up to 500 km on a single charge in Cyberster. In Cyberster, this battery powers two electric motors, one on each axle, for a combined 510 bhp of peak power and 725 Nm of peak torque. Acceleration figures might be around the same as Cyberster, which is 0-100 km/h in 3.2 seconds.
      Cyber GTS Coupe from MG
      Will it launch in India?
      As of now, JSW MG Motor India has not confirmed whether Cyber GTS will make it to our market. However, the company is launching Cyberster soon along with M9 through their MG Select dealerships. Will Cyber GTS Coupe be MG’s third CBU vehicle to launch through MG Select premium dealerships? Only time will tell. More

      MG Windsor Pro Launch Date Announced – More Range, Features

      by

      MG Windsor Pro Launch Date Announced
      India’s best-selling electric vehicle, the MG Windsor, is set to gain more Pro-level features along with a Pro-level range that should significantly boost its appeal. MG Windsor Pro has been officially announced by the brand and it will launch in the country on 6th May, 2025. Lets take a look at all the Pro-level upgrades.
      MG Windsor Pro Launch Date
      With the launch of Windsor EV in India and associated BaaS pricing schemes, JSW MG Motor India rewrote the rule book in the country’s electric vehicle segment. Now, MG is taking the game a notch above with a new and better version of India’s best-selling electric vehicle called Windsor Pro.
      MG Windsor Pro Launch Date Announced
      The company has officially announced Windsor Pro name and has revealed a launch timeline as well. Windsor Pro will be launched on May 6th, 2025 and it will be a better version of Windsor EV on sale in India in terms of features, equipment and powertrain with a better range for more acceptance among buyers.
      MG Windsor Pro Design
      As seen in MG’s teaser video, Windsor Pro, we can see that the design of this vehicle has stayed the same. It is still slick for aerodynamic performance and it carries a premium appeal with sleek lighting elements, connected LED bars at both ends, large 18-inch alloy wheels, flush door handles, premium paint finish and more.
      MG Windsor Pro ADAS
      The first Pro update comes in the form of safety where MG is offering ADAS suite with Windsor Pro. This is likely to be comprehensive if ADAS suite with ZS EV, Hector and Gloster is anything to go by. Next update is in its battery department where we can see battery size growing in the animations in this teaser.
      MG Windsor Pro Battery
      Bigger battery, more range!
      MG has not announced an exact size for battery, but it is likely to be the same 50.3 kWh battery pack offered with ZS EV with a promised range of 460 km on a single charge. This is a big jump from current Windsor’s 38 kWh battery with a 332 km range. Pro technology with Windsor Pro will be in the form of V2L (Vehicle to Load).
      MG Windsor Pro Cabin
      The company mentions Pro Cabin where the faux wooden inserts look a lot more prominent. MG also mentions Pro style and Pro convenience and there might be some extra feature additions along with the way to make it more appealing than it already is. We should expect Windsor Pro to be priced above Windsor in the hierarchy.
