In an exciting development for motorcycle enthusiasts in India, Bajaj is gearing up to launch its much-anticipated model, the Bajaj Pulsar NS400, on May 3. This launch follows the earlier reports confirming Bajaj’s efforts to introduce the largest Pulsar variant to date.
Key Features and Specifications
Engine and Performance
The Bajaj Pulsar NS400 is expected to feature a robust 373cc single-cylinder engine, a step up from the existing models like the Dominar 400 and KTM variants which utilize a similar engine producing between 40-43.5hp. It remains to be seen whether the NS400 will match the Dominar’s 40hp or deliver the full 43.5hp akin to KTM models. The bike will retain the 6-speed gearbox with a slip-and-assist clutch, though the availability of a quickshifter is yet to be confirmed.
Chassis and Weight
Utilizing the proven perimeter chassis from the NS200, the NS400 is likely to boast enhanced rigidity to accommodate the larger engine displacement. This upgrade will potentially contribute to a reduction in weight, positioning the NS400 as a lighter alternative to the 193kg Dominar.
Design and Features
While specific design details are awaited, the NS400 is expected to draw inspiration from the existing NS family aesthetics, possibly incorporating recent design updates. Features like the USD fork and LCD dash with Bluetooth connectivity are likely to be retained, offering a modern and connected riding experience.
Pricing and Positioning
Bajaj aims to position the Pulsar NS400 competitively in the market, likely placing it below the Dominar 400’s current price point of Rs 2.31 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). This strategic pricing will make the NS400 the most affordable 400cc motorcycle delivering 40hp in India.
Conclusion
The launch of the Bajaj Pulsar NS400 promises to inject fresh excitement into the Indian motorcycle market, offering enthusiasts a powerful and stylish option at an attractive price point. With its expected performance enhancements and contemporary features, the NS400 is poised to set new standards in the segment. Motorcycle enthusiasts eagerly anticipate the official unveiling on May 3, anticipating the arrival of this eagerly awaited addition to the iconic Pulsar lineup.
