Bikes evoke a unique kind of passion and reverence. Bajaj Auto, one of the leading automobile manufacturers, exemplifies these emotions. Bajaj has incorporated keen engineering elements and rider preferences to the 2025 Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z making it the best in performance. Bajaj has exquisitely designed the bike to strengthen the rider’s prowess and at the same time increase rider’s agility. Let us walk you through some of the performance features incorporated in the bike for 2025.
Enhanced Thrill And Speed
The NS400Z features a 373cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine with a 43 PS power output at 8,800 rpm and 35 Nm of torque at 6,500 rpm. An update on the NS400Z includes a newly added forged piston, alongside different cam rough timing. This has increased the NS400Z redline to 10,700 rpm and now gets to 60 km/h in blistering 2.7 seconds to a maximum of 157 km/h. The thrill of the ride is also enhanced with a raspy yet thrilling exhaust note to the NS400Z.
State-Of-The-Art Riding Aids
Ride-by-wire is a new feature included on the NS400Z, alongside four ride modes. Off road, road, rain and sport each mode encapsulates a throttle response alongside optimal control of ABS. With the 2025 update a new feature of a bi-directional quick shifter is added improving changing of gears. Also, switchable traction control ensures grip and stability for the NS with a digital LCD with Bluetooth.
Sharp Design Features
Bikes always look unique with colour schemes, like the Pulsar NS400 which comes in glossy racing red, brooklyn black, pearl metallic white, and pewter grey. Its sporty vibe has gold finished 43 mm USD forks and some carbon fibre which makes the look even better. The overall aesthetics are complemented by the carbon fibre forks. Some users have reported that the aesthetics have very low quality paint and the design overall looks outdated.
Precision Handling And Braking
The NS400Z has some very impressive features that help with precise handling and quick turns. The design has lightweight 43 mm USD forks and a preload adjustable monoshock which soaks up bumps solidly, even though the bike does have a stiff suspension. The bike is equipped with 320 mm front and 230 mm rear disc which have been updated with sintered pads to help improve performance. The braking is enhanced with dual-channel ABS which is a very important feature for safety.
Value For Money
As the NS400Z comes in roughly ₹1.92 lakh ex-showroom, it is the most cost-effective 400 cc bike to have hit the market. Even though the bike is proven to be cost-efficient, it continues to be challenged by rivals like KTM with the Duke 390. The bike is expected to make 34 km/l which is very good. The bike is expected to be cost-effective but the seating and posture is said to be uncomfortable for longer rides.
