Bajaj Pulsar NS400 has been spotted testing ahead of its official reveal, and it’s shaping up to be the most powerful Pulsar ever. Aimed at riders ready to move up the performance ladder, the upcoming NS400 brings serious hardware upgrades, aggressive styling, and a segment-first powertrain for Bajaj’s iconic streetfighter series.
Bold and Muscular Streetfighter Look
The NS400 follows the familiar naked bike DNA with sharp tank extensions, aggressive lines, and a compact tail section. Expect design cues inspired by the NS200, but with a more muscular stance, beefier proportions, and premium detailing that signal its flagship status.
Powerful Liquid-Cooled Engine
At the heart of the NS400 lies a liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine—expected to be derived from the Dominar 400 platform. Output figures may touch 40 PS, making it the most potent Pulsar to date. Early impressions suggest strong mid-range grunt and highway-ready performance.
Upside-Down Front Forks Confirmed
Spy shots reveal USD forks up front, enhancing both aesthetics and handling dynamics. The setup promises improved front-end feedback, better damping over rough surfaces, and sharper control during aggressive cornering.
Modern Feature Set
Though not fully revealed, expected features include:
- Fully digital instrument cluster
- Ride-by-wire throttle
- LED headlamp and DRLs
- Dual-channel ABS with radial calipers
These features would align the NS400 with rivals in the performance naked segment.
Launch Expectations and Positioning
The Bajaj Pulsar NS400 is expected to launch by late 2025, likely priced around ₹2 lakh–₹2.2 lakh (ex-showroom). If Bajaj strikes the right balance between power, features, and pricing, the NS400 could redefine value in the mid-capacity streetfighter market and expand the Pulsar legacy into a whole new performance league.
