Will the 2025 RS200 updates be enough to be able to compete with newer rivals such as the Yamaha R15 V4?
In recent years the sport bikes segment in India has seen major advancements with some models like Yamaha R15 V4 leading the way with top notch technology and performance. At a time when competition in this segment is fierce, the 2025 Bajaj Pulsar RS200 update is here. The RS200 has been updated, with a new digital console and cosmetic changes, but some enthusiasts wonder whether these changes are enough to keep it in the race with newer, more modern rivals. Discussions on the subject often compare the RS200's features, performance and value proposition to that of other RS200s and speculate about how it might be received in the market after these updates.
Not a chance. With a VVA engine and build quality in a different league, the R15 V4 is in a different league. Bajaj had to do a lot more to compete.
I believe there is still a place for the RS200 in the market. It will have more power than the R15 and come at a more competitive price.
The updates are decent, but Bajaj didn’t really shake things up. To compete with the latest rivals they should have aimed higher.
But for many buyers Bajaj brand loyalty and service network will continue to make the RS200 an attractive proposition, even if the numbers don't add up on paper.
That's always been the RS200, a full faired experience at a lower price point. It’ll find buyers as long as it keeps that value proposition.
We are not competing with the R15 only. The Suzuki Gixxer SF and even Bajaj's own Dominar 250 are the bikes the RS200 now needs to worry about.
To stay relevant in this segment, Bajaj needs to follow up with more significant updates soon if it wants to.
