Unleashing the Beast
Bajaj Auto has ignited the Indian motorcycle market with the 2025 Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z, launched in May 2024 and now stealing the spotlight in 2025 with fresh updates. Priced at an unbeatable ₹1.85 lakh (ex-showroom, introductory), this is Bajaj’s most powerful Pulsar yet, blending explosive performance, bold design, and advanced tech. Aimed at young riders, it takes on the Yamaha MT-15 V2 and KTM 390 Duke, delivering 400cc thrills at a jaw-dropping price.
Striking Style & Top Features
The NS400Z rocks a fierce naked streetfighter vibe with lightning bolt LED DRLs, a chiseled 12L fuel tank, and a sleek tail section, inspired by the NS200 but with sharper flair. Its 373cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine churns out 39.5 bhp at 8,800 rpm and 35 Nm at 6,500 rpm, paired with a 6-speed gearbox and slip-and-assist clutch. Standout features include a color LCD display with Bluetooth via the Bajaj Ride Connect app, dual-channel ABS with Rain, Road, Sport, and Off-Road modes, traction control, and 43mm USD forks for pinpoint handling.
- Z-shaped LED DRLs with full LED lighting
- Color LCD with navigation and call alerts
- Four riding modes and switchable traction control
- 320 mm front disc with Grimeca calipers
- 45-50 kmpl mileage, ~540 km range

Why It’s Grabbing Headlines
The NS400Z’s ₹1.85 lakh price makes it India’s most affordable 400cc bike, undercutting the KTM 390 Duke (₹3.13 lakh) and Triumph Speed 400 (₹2.34 lakh). Its 174 kg frame and stiffened chassis offer agile handling, though some X users say its NS200-like design lacks originality. With 45-50 kmpl and tech like ride-by-wire, it’s a steal for urban and highway riders. Posts on X call it a “budget rocket,” cementing its hype as a value king.
