If you like naked streetfighters with serious muscle and value for money, the 2025 Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z is on your wishlist. Launched today at ₹1.92 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi), this new flagship brings in major performance upgrades and segment-first tech without straying from its affordable roots.
What’s New in the 2025 Pulsar NS400Z?
- Price Hike: About ₹7,000–₹8,000 more than before.
- Power Increase: Now makes 43 bhp, up from 40 bhp.
- Quickshifter: A bi-directional quickshifter (first in segment), co-developed with Bosch, for clutch-less, full-throttle gear shifts.
- Faster Acceleration:
- 0–60 km/h in just 2.7 sec

This isn’t just about numbers. It’s about how that power is delivered – quicker, sharper and smoother.
Engine and Ride Experience
Under the tank sits a 373cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine with revised internals and a forged piston for better heat tolerance. A 6-speed gearbox handles shifting duties, now with that sweet quickshifter. The redline has been raised to 10,700 rpm in Sport mode, so you have more room to play at the top end.
Chassis, Suspension and Braking
The NS400Z retains its 43mm USD front forks, monoshock at the rear and now gets sintered brake pads up front for better bite. New Apollo Alpha H1 radials replace the older MRFs – the rear tyre is wider (150-section), more grip and cornering confidence.
Features and Technology
- Riding Modes: Rain, Road, Off-Road, Sport
- Switchable Traction Control
- Dual-channel ABS
- Fully Digital LCD Display: With Bluetooth, navigation, lap timer and call/SMS alerts
- Redesigned Radiator Cowl: Better heat dissipation near the rider’s legs
Design and Colors
Looks-wise it still looks mean and muscular – now in Racing Red, Brooklyn Black, Pearl White, and Pewter Grey with new graphics. A single-piece LED headlamp flanked by lightning-shaped DRLs gives the front a bold, street-ready attitude.
