0-60 Kmph In Just 2.7 Sec: Bajaj Launches New Affordable Bike Under Rs 1.92 Lakh
The 2025 NS 400 Z still uses the same 373cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine. However, it now produces 43 bhp, an increase of 3 bhp from before. Road, Off-road, and Rain modes have the same redline of 10,300 rpm, while Sport mode now has a higher redline of 10,700 rpm. The top speed has gone up to 157kmph.
Bajaj claims the bike can go from 0 to 60kmph in 2.7 seconds and 0 to 100kmph in 6.4 seconds, that's 0.5 and 0.9 seconds faster, respectively, than the older version. Even with this improved speed and acceleration, the claimed fuel efficiency remains the same at 28kmpl.
The bike also gets some hardware upgrades. It now has a wider 150-section steel radial rear tyre for better grip. Braking has improved too, thanks to sintered brake pads that reduce stopping distance by 7%. A Sport Shift system (bi-directional quickshifter) has also been added. This allows clutchless gearshifts in both directions, even at full throttle.
The new NS 400 Z runs on 17-inch wheels with 110/70 front and 150/60 rear tyres. It weighs 174kg and has a seat height of 805mm. The ground clearance is 165mm, and it gets a 12-litre fuel tank.

IIT Madras launches ‘India's lightest wheelchair'
CHENNAI: Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras, on Wednesday, launched 'India's lightest active wheelchair', YD One, weighing nine kilos and allowing for complete customisation based on the body, posture, and mobility needs of its user. IIT Madras sources said that the wheelchair is priced at Rs 74,700 whereas an imported wheelchair with a similar design will cost over Rs 2.5 lakhs. The design of the wheelchair delivers maximum strength and energy efficiency while making it easy to lift, handle, and stow in cars, autos, or public transport, said an IIT M release. 'Built with precision-engineered geometry and aerospace-grade materials, it delivers the kind of high-performance, ultra-light mobility once only possible through expensive imports — but at a fraction of the cost,' the release stated. IIT-M said that this was an alternative to the widely used heavy, poorly fitted 'hospital-style' wheelchairs designed for short-term indoor use, which not only require external assistance but also severely limit comfort and freedom.
