Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z Alright, let’s be real – we’ve all been waiting for Bajaj to drop a proper middleweight Pulsar that doesn’t just tease us with minor upgrades. Well, buckle up, because the NS400Z looks like it might actually be the one.
This ain’t your kid brother’s NS200 with a fancy sticker kit. We’re talking proper 400cc madness wrapped in that signature Pulsar aggression. And honestly? It’s about damn time.
Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z Looks That Could Kill (Or At Least Seriously Injure)
First impression? This thing looks pissed off in all the right ways. Bajaj’s clearly been taking notes from the big boys:
✔ Those new LED twin headlights staring you down like a wasp on steroids
✔ The tank extensions that make it look like it’s flexing even when parked
✔ Exposed trellis frame because subtlety is overrated
✔ And is that… yep, dual exhaust tips! (Because one just wasn’t loud enough)
It’s still unmistakably a Pulsar, just one that’s been hitting the gym and taking names.
The Heart of the Beast – Finally Some Real Power
Let’s cut to the chase – that new 400cc mill is what everyone’s buzzing about. Early leaks suggest:
- Around 40 horses galloping to the rear wheel
- Liquid-cooled because air-cooling is for lawnmowers now
- Six speeds to play with (finally!)
- Probably still vibey as hell at high RPM – this is a Pulsar after all
Is it going to shame a Ninja 400? Probably not. But for the price? This could be the most fun per rupee in Bajaj’s lineup.
Tech That Doesn’t Feel Like an Afterthought
Remember when Pulsars came with “features” like “a speedometer that worked most of the time”? Yeah, those days are gone:
✔ Actual full-color TFT display (about freaking time)
✔ Ride modes – because sometimes you want to get home without wheelies
✔ Dual-channel ABS that won’t let you yeet yourself into a tree
✔ USD forks that aren’t just for show (we hope)
It’s still not going to out-tech a Ducati, but at least now it won’t feel like you’re riding something from 2010.
Who’s This Bike For?
Let’s be honest – this isn’t for everyone. But if you’re:
✔ Tired of 200cc bikes pretending to be fast
✔ Want KTM thrills without KTM bills
✔ Love hooning around but still need to afford groceries
✔ That one guy who still thinks Pulsars are cool (they are, fight me)
…then start saving up now.
The Big Question: Price vs. Performance
Here’s where Bajaj could either nail it or faceplant. If they price this close to the ₹2.5 lakh mark:
✅ KTM 390 Duke sweats nervously
✅ TVS Apache RR 310 side-eyes its spec sheet
✅ Your wallet might actually forgive you
But if they get greedy? Well… let’s just hope they learned from the Dominar pricing drama.
Final Thoughts – Is This THE One?
The NS400Z feels like Bajaj finally saying: “Okay fine, you wanted a real streetfighter? Here, hold my beer.” It’s got the looks, (hopefully) the power, and enough tech to not feel ancient.
Will it be perfect? Hell no – expect some classic Bajaj quirks. But for the money? This could be the most exciting Pulsar in a decade.
