Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z Reaches Dealerships Ahead of Launch: Key Details Revealed

New Delhi, May 6 — Ahead of its official launch, Bajaj Auto’s upcoming flagship motorcycle, the 2025 Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z, has started arriving at dealerships across India. The highly anticipated bike is generating buzz for its upgraded performance, design, and new-age features — positioning it as a top contender in the mid-capacity sporty streetfighter segment.

Here’s everything you need to know before you consider bringing home this muscular machine.

Enhanced Tyre Setup for Better Grip and Stability

One of the notable upgrades in the NS400Z is its rear tyre configuration. Bajaj has replaced the older 140-section MRF REVZ tyres with 150-section Apollo Alpha H1 radial tyres, significantly improving cornering ability and high-speed stability. The front tyre remains the same in size but now comes from Apollo, ensuring consistent grip and performance.

This upgrade will offer riders more confidence while leaning into corners or cruising at higher speeds.

Improved Braking with Sintered Pads

Another major improvement is in the braking department. Bajaj has switched from organic to sintered brake pads, a performance-focused change that enhances braking efficiency and stopping power, especially during aggressive or high-speed riding. This makes the NS400Z safer and more responsive under pressure.

Compliant with OBD-2B Emission Norms

The Pulsar NS400Z has also been updated to comply with new OBD-2B emission regulations, aligning it with current environmental standards. Despite the regulatory updates, performance figures remain unchanged — the bike continues to deliver a strong 39.4 bhp and 35 Nm of torque, retaining its punchy street dynamics.

Feature-Packed and Rider-Focused

The NS400Z brings a host of new-age features that cater to performance enthusiasts:

• Full LED lighting system

• 4 Riding Modes Road, Rain, Sport, Off-Road

• Switchable Traction Control

• Fully Digital Instrument Cluster

• Aggressive, muscular streetfighter design

These additions make it one of the most technologically advanced bikes in its class.

Expected Price and Availability

Currently, the outgoing model is priced at ₹1,81,318 (ex-showroom). The 2025 NS400Z is expected to be priced around ₹1.89 lakh (ex-showroom) — marking a marginal increase of ₹7,000–₹8,000. Given its upgraded features, the price hike appears justified for enthusiasts looking for performance with practicality.

With units already spotted at dealerships, an official launch announcement is expected imminently, followed by test rides and deliveries in the coming weeks.

Verdict

The 2025 Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z is shaping up to be a serious rival in the sub-400cc segment, with significant enhancements in performance, safety, and tech features. Bajaj’s move to update this flagship bike ahead of launch shows strong commitment to rider expectations and evolving industry standards.
