Bajaj launches 2025 NS400Z priced at ₹1.92 lakh. Here is what's new
Bajaj Auto has introduced the 2025 Pulsar NS400Z into the Indian market with a starting ex-showroom price of ₹ 1.92 lakh. Although the motorcycle features only minor updates to its design, the manufacturer has made significant improvements to the engine and incorporated new features based on customer feedback. The engine, a 373 cc unit derived from KTM, remains unchanged in size. However, the valvetrain has been revised, and new cam timings along with an upgraded intake duct have been implemented. The piston has been redesigned as a forged component, enhancing thermal stability, reducing friction, and increasing durability. As a result, the power output has increased from 40 PS to 43 PS. Additionally, Bajaj has redesigned the radiator cowl to enhance heat dissipation, moving it away from the rider's legs. Thanks to the engine improvements, the motorcycle's top speed has been raised from 150 kmph to 157 kmph. The time taken to accelerate from 0 to 100 kmph has decreased from 7.5 seconds to 6.4 seconds, and the 0 to 60 km/h acceleration time has been cut down from 3.2 seconds to 2.7 seconds. Bajaj states that despite these performance enhancements, there should be no negative impact on the motorcycle's fuel efficiency. Apart from the engine updates, the motorcycle now features radial tires on both the front and rear wheels. The new tires are Apollo Alpha H1 radial tires, which are known for providing good grip, and the rear tire has been widened to a 150-section. Bajaj has also added a quickshifter to the Pulsar NS400Z, allowing riders to shift gears without using the clutch. However, this feature is only available in Sports mode. The motorcycle also now uses sintered brake pads to reduce braking distance.
