Bajaj Pulsar N250

Detailed Review by Maxabout Team

Overview

The journey of Bajaj Pulsar is 20 years old and during this journey, Pulsar has always distinguished itself among the people. The round light Pulsar started in 2001 at 180 which has now reached the Pulsar F250 and Pulsar N250 in 2021. In these 20 years, the Pulsar brand has expanded its reign from 125cc to 250cc segment.

On October 28 last year, Pulsar completed its 20 years and on this occasion, Bajaj launched two new 250cc bikes in the Pulsar series in the Indian market. Bajaj Pulsar is listed among the five most influential bikes in modern Indian history.

The original Pulsars were game-changers that let Bajaj stand where the company is today, as a global motorcycle giant. Twenty years after the originals, today’s new Pulsars aim to change the game rather than enrich and enhance what the Pulsar has to offer.

Design and Style of Bajaj Pulsar N250

The new motorcycle features a completely fresh design with plenty of things resembling the existing Pulsar lineup.

The rear looks smart with a large split seat, a nice curve to the body panels as they meet the model version of the Classic Pulsar tail-lamp.

Over at the front, both use the same projector LED headlamps but they get different running lamps. They both rather are nice looking machines although they are not super attention-grabbing.

Verdict- Should You Buy Bajaj Pulsar N250?

2024 Bajaj Pulsar N250 looks like a comfortable city bike and runs quite well in the mid-range rpm level. However, N250 seems a little less flamboyant than the Pulsar F250. The engine response of both bikes at 4,000 to 7,000 rpm is excellent and looks quite responsive. From low speed to high speed, gear ratios are also excellent and the absence of 6th gear cannot be sensed in the N250. Even though the speed of N250 is lower than that of the F250 but overall, it offers you stable and accurate handling on highways and good roads. However, the dynamics of bikes at sharp corners will make you happy and it is one of the good options to consider if you are planning to buy a 250cc naked motorcycle for routine commuting.
