The 2025 Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z is ready to shake up the sports bike segment in India with some serious updates. Bajaj has confirmed the new NS400Z will launch in the coming weeks, and fans of the Pulsar series have a lot to look forward to this year.
More Power From The Updated Engine
One of the biggest highlights of the 2025 Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z is its improved engine. The bike will continue to use the trusted 373cc liquid-cooled motor, but Bajaj has tuned it to deliver more power and better torque.
Key engine updates:
- Power output increased to 42.4bhp (up from 39.5bhp)
- Peak torque expected at 37Nm
- Mated to a smooth six-speed gearbox
- New bi-directional quickshifter for clutch-less gear shifts
This power boost, paired with the quickshifter, will make city rides and highway runs a lot more exciting for NS fans.
Improved Tyres For Better Grip
Bajaj has also worked on improving the grip and handling of the NS400Z. The 2025 model will switch to wider, stickier Apollo H1 tyres.
Tyre details:
- Rear tyre upgraded to a 150-section (previously 140-section)
- Front uses a 110/70-R17 size
- Better grip in dry and wet conditions
- Improved cornering stability
These tyre changes will help riders push the NS400Z confidently through twisty roads and tight corners.
Stronger Brakes With Better Feedback
Braking performance is another area where Bajaj has made improvements. The new Pulsar NS400Z will come with sintered brake pads instead of the older organic ones.
Brake upgrades:
- Stronger initial bite
- Better feedback at the lever
- Less brake fade during aggressive riding
Combined with the sticky tyres, the new braking setup should give riders more control.
Premium Features Make It Smarter
The 2025 Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z will continue to pack in features that make it stand out in its class. Apart from the bi-directional quickshifter, the bike keeps its full LED lighting system and advanced electronics.
Top features:
- Switchable traction control for safer rides
- Four ride modes: Road, Rain, Sport and Off-road
- Stylish full LED headlamp and tail lamp
- Sharp, aggressive design that keeps the NS DNA alive
These updates make the NS400Z feel modern and practical for daily use and weekend rides.
Expected Pricing And Rivals
The new NS400Z is expected to be priced between Rs 1.90 lakh to Rs 1.92 lakh, ex-showroom. With these updates, it will compete strongly with bikes like the KTM Duke 390, TVS Apache RR 310, and Honda CB300R.
Bajaj’s strategy is clear — pack in more performance and tech while keeping the price attractive for young buyers who want value and style.
