From an older bike, the N250's headlight is a revelation. It’s not perfect, but it’s a huge step up in terms of visibility and safety.

The auto headlamp feature is the real game changer, the light is good. Especially when entering tunnels or underpasses, it’s so convenient.
Is the 2 channel ABS on the Pulsar N250 overkill for a 250cc bike?
30 January 2025 09:34
No, not overkill at all. It doesn't matter what engine size, safety should never be compromised. With the 2 channel ABS you have that extra bit of confidence when the emergency situation comes up or in wet conditions.

I'd say it's a bit much. It would have been enough with a single channel ABS, which would have allowed keeping the price lower. After all, most riders in this segment are budget conscious.

I’m all for it, as someone who’s had a few close calls. It is better to have it and not need it, than to not have it and need it. It’s also a great learning tool for newer riders.

Of course it's overkill for city riding, but if you're planning long trips or getting into twisties, that extra braking control could be a lifesaver.

I think it's more future proofing. Bajaj is smart to introduce it now, since regulations are getting stricter. It will soon become the norm anyway.

Honestly, it's a marketing gimmick. In real world scenarios, most riders won’t even notice the difference between single and dual channel ABS.

I am a mechanic and I like the 2 channel system. Compared to a single channel setup, it’s easier to diagnose, and maintain. Also, it is more effective at preventing wheel lock ups.
Does the extra weight of the N250 make it less agile than the NS200?
30 January 2025 09:34
In tight traffic, yeah, you can definitely feel the extra weight. While not as flickable as the NS200, it’s still manageable.

I have ridden both and actually the difference is not that much. The extra kilos are made up for by the N250's better weight distribution.

In fact, the extra weight actually aids in high speed stability. While it might not be as nimble in the city, it feels way more confidence inspiring on highways.
Does the extra weight of the N250 make it less agile than the NS200?

Being a shorter rider, the N250 is a little more difficult to handle in parking lots. The NS200 was less difficult to handle at low speeds.
Does the extra weight of the N250 make it less agile than the NS200?
30 January 2025 09:34
There is weight difference there, but the extra torque from the 250cc engine makes up for it. It just feels more planted, more mature than the NS200.
Does the extra weight of the N250 make it less agile than the NS200?
30 January 2025 09:34
I feel that is a fair trade off. You get a bit of comfort, a bit of touring ability, but you lose a little bit of agility. Overall it's a more well rounded package.

30 January 2025 09:34
I was worried about the weight coming from the NS200 but after a few rides you get used to it. The N250 doesn’t feel cumbersome, but it does feel more substantial.
Can the Pulsar N250 be modified and customized well?
30 January 2025 09:32
I’ve had my N250 for a few months now, and I gotta say I love this thing as a canvas for mods. It is really picking up in the aftermarket scene. I've already swapped out the exhaust and have added a few cosmetic things. Mods come easy to it without losing its core character.

30 January 2025 09:32
The mod options are a little disappointing, to be honest. Perhaps because it's still a relatively new bike, but I'm not seeing the same aftermarket support that older Pulsars were enjoying. As a result, it feels like we're limited in what we can do, particularly performance wise.

30 January 2025 09:32
As a person who has done extensive mods on past Pulsars, I’m a bit split on the N250. The lights and body panels are easy to upgrade. Performance mods are trickier, however, because of the new engine design. It’s a learning curve for sure.

People keep forgetting that the N250 is a pretty solid sled out of the box. It's pretty well-equipped stock. Of course you can add some bling, but from a performance perspective, you’re not going to see huge gains unless you spend a lot.
