Bajaj Pulsar VS400 Updates

Saturday, 27 April 2024 12:43 PM Bajaj Auto has confirmed the launch of the Pulsar NS400, which is essentially the vehicle previously speculated as the Pulsar VS400, on May 3, 2024. This motorcycle will be powered by a 373cc, liquid-cooled engine sourced from the Dominar 400, producing 39.42bhp and 35Nm of torque. It will feature a six-speed gearbox, golden-coloured USD forks, and a gas-charged monoshock. I think this engine choice will help keep costs in check while offering robust performance.

Saturday, 27 April 2024 05:48 PM The upcoming Pulsar NS400 is expected to have a design that blends elements from the N250 and NS200, including an N250-like headlamp with thunder-style DRLs. It will also feature an LED projector headlamp, a fully digital cluster with Bluetooth connectivity, turn-by-turn navigation, and call/SMS notifications. Additionally, it will include a USB charging port and dual-channel ABS. I believe these features will make it a compelling option in its segment.

Wednesday, 10 April 2024 05:01 PM Bajaj has released teasers and the motorcycle has been spotted at a dealership yard, hinting at its imminent launch. The Pulsar NS400 will run on 17-inch wheels and have disc brakes at both ends. The braking system will include dual-channel ABS with three modes: Rain, Road, and On/Off. This versatility in braking modes should enhance safety and riding experience.

Wednesday, 10 April 2024 12:41 PM The Pulsar NS400 is anticipated to be priced under Rs. 2 lakh (ex-showroom), positioning it below the Dominar 400 in Bajajs lineup. This pricing strategy could make it an attractive choice for buyers looking for a powerful yet affordable motorcycle. I think this pricing will be a key factor in its market success.

Tuesday, 27 September 2016 10:27 PM In 2016, Bajaj had planned to launch a similar model named the Kratos VS400, which was to be powered by a 373.2cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine. However, this launch was delayed and eventually, the model did not materialize under the Pulsar badge. Instead, it seems Bajaj has revisited the concept with the Pulsar NS400. I believe this new iteration will better align with current market demands.

Wednesday, 28 September 2016 01:16 AM The Kratos VS400, as it was called back then, was expected to feature a full-LED headlamp, a split, fully digital instrument cluster, and a monoshock at the rear. It was also supposed to have ABS, though it was speculated to be an optional feature. These features were ahead of its time and will now be seen in the Pulsar NS400. I think the delay allowed Bajaj to refine and improve the design.

Tuesday, 27 September 2016 06:11 AM The Bajaj Kratos VS400 was initially scheduled to launch in August 2016 but was postponed to November to coincide with the festive season. This strategic move was aimed at maximizing sales during a peak buying period. I believe such timing can significantly impact the vehicles market reception.

Tuesday, 27 September 2016 04:40 PM The Kratos VS400 was expected to be priced around Rs. 1.8 lakhs, positioning it as a premium offering above the Pulsar brand. This pricing was intended to reflect its enhanced features and performance. I think the current pricing strategy for the Pulsar NS400 is more competitive.

Tuesday, 27 September 2016 04:11 PM The engine of the Kratos VS400 was tweaked to produce 35 Bhp at 8,000 rpm and was coupled with a 6-speed manual transmission. This engine configuration was designed to suit the character of a cruiser, which is different from the sportier tuning expected in the Pulsar NS400. I believe the new tuning will better suit the sporty aspirations of the NS400.

Tuesday, 27 September 2016 03:11 PM Bajajs decision to drop the Kratos name and instead go with the Pulsar NS400 suggests a strategic alignment with their existing brand portfolio. This move could help in leveraging the brand recognition and loyalty associated with the Pulsar series. I think this is a wise decision to build on existing brand equity.
