The Bajaj Pulsar N250 is a big step forward for the Pulsar family. Bajaj knows the Pulsar badge means a lot to young riders in India — it’s about sporty styling, street presence and peppy performance at a price that doesn’t hurt your wallet. With the Pulsar N250, Bajaj wants to remind everyone why the Pulsar is still one of India’s favourite sporty commuter bikes.
Bajaj has carefully mixed modern styling with familiar Pulsar DNA. This isn’t just a facelift — the N250 brings new hardware, new design and improved everyday usability for city and highway riders alike.
Styling And Road Presence
One look at the Bajaj Pulsar N250 and you know it’s not trying to hide in traffic. It’s bolder and more muscular than the older Pulsar 220F or Pulsar NS200.
Key styling bits:
- Sharp LED projector headlamp with eyebrow-style DRLs
- Chunky tank shrouds giving it a big-bike look
- Neat underbelly exhaust for a clean side profile
- Split seat setup for sporty appeal
- LED tail lamp with signature Pulsar look
The bike has just enough design drama to make it stand out without overdoing it. For riders who like their bikes to turn heads at signals, the N250 does the job well.
Engine And Performance
At the heart of the Bajaj Pulsar N250 is an air-and-oil cooled 249cc single-cylinder engine. It churns out 24.5 PS of power and 21.5 Nm of torque, delivered through a 5-speed gearbox with a slip-and-assist clutch.
The power delivery is smooth, with enough low-end grunt for city traffic and enough top-end poke for relaxed highway cruising. Riders upgrading from a 150cc or 180cc bike will feel the extra punch immediately.
The slip-and-assist clutch makes downshifts lighter and prevents wheel hop, which is handy for new riders.
How Does It Ride?
The Bajaj Pulsar N250 rides on a new tubular frame with a conventional telescopic fork up front and a mono-shock at the rear. This combo keeps things comfortable yet planted when you push the bike around corners.
Handling highlights:
- 17-inch alloy wheels with grippy MRF tyres
- 300 mm front disc and 230 mm rear disc brakes
- Dual-channel ABS for added confidence
- Upright handlebars for comfortable city rides
The wide handlebar makes quick direction changes easy, and the riding posture strikes a good balance between sporty and relaxed.
Features And Tech
The Bajaj Pulsar N250 keeps things simple but modern enough. Bajaj hasn’t overloaded it with unnecessary electronics but has added practical touches riders will appreciate.
What you get:
- Semi-digital instrument cluster with gear position indicator, distance-to-empty and clock
- USB charging port near the console
- Bright LED projector headlamp for better night rides
- Side stand engine cut-off for safety
These updates make the N250 feel up-to-date without overcomplicating things for riders.
Mileage And Practicality
For a quarter-litre bike, the Bajaj Pulsar N250 returns decent fuel efficiency. Owners report around 35-40 kmpl in mixed city-highway conditions. That makes it practical enough for daily commutes and weekend rides without burning a hole in your pocket.
The 14-litre fuel tank means longer trips without too many fuel stops. And the seat height of 795 mm is friendly for most riders, whether you’re a college student or a working professional.
Price And Rivals
The Bajaj Pulsar N250 is priced well to compete with other street naked bikes in the 200-250cc segment.
| Bike | Ex-Showroom Price (Approx.) |
|---|---|
| Bajaj Pulsar N250 | ₹1.50 lakh |
| Yamaha FZ25 | ₹1.51 lakh |
| Suzuki Gixxer 250 | ₹1.81 lakh |
| TVS Apache RTR 200 4V | ₹1.48 lakh |
For the price, you get more power than a 200cc but without jumping into the costlier 300cc territory.
Who Should Buy It?
The Bajaj Pulsar N250 is perfect for:
- Young riders upgrading from 150-180cc commuters
- College students wanting a daily bike that looks sporty
- Riders who want a mix of city usability and weekend fun
- Fans of the classic Pulsar look but with modern updates
