The anticipation for the Bajaj Pulsar NS400 is mounting as it has been spied for the first time, unveiling its design ahead of the official launch on May 3, 2024. This latest addition to the Pulsar family, known for its dynamic and affordable bikes, is set to become the largest and possibly the most powerful Pulsar yet.
LED Projector Headlight
The front design of the Pulsar NS400 features a modern LED projector headlight integrated with lightning bolt-shaped daytime running lights (DRLs). This design appears to blend elements from the Pulsar N250 and the Pulsar NS200, suggesting a continuation of the Pulsar's aggressive and sporty aesthetic.
Digital Console
Following the trends of its siblings, the NS400 is expected to sport a fully digital console similar to the Pulsar NS200. This console will likely include smartphone connectivity and turn-by-turn navigation, enhancing both functionality and rider convenience.
Advanced Rider Aids
Bajaj seems to be upping the ante with the inclusion of multiple ABS modes and traction control. There's also a possibility of introducing riding modes, which would be a first for the Pulsar series, adding to the bike’s appeal to seasoned riders.
Inverted Forks and Tank Extensions
The spy shots reveal inverted forks and stylish tank extensions that enhance the motorcycle's sporty look while likely improving its handling and stability at higher speeds.
Pricing Strategy
The Pulsar NS400 is expected to be priced competitively around Rs 2 lakh, strategically positioning it below the Dominar 400, which currently retails at Rs 2,30,815 (ex-showroom Delhi). This pricing makes the NS400 an attractive option for enthusiasts looking for a powerful bike without breaking the bank.
Competition
Upon launch, the Pulsar NS400 will enter a competitive segment, facing off against established names such as the KTM 390 Duke, Triumph Speed 400, TVS Apache RTR 310, and Husqvarna Svartpilen 401. Its success will depend on how well it balances performance, features, and price.
The Bajaj Pulsar NS400 is poised to set a new benchmark in the sub-500cc motorcycle segment, appealing to both existing Pulsar fans and new customers seeking an affordable entry into the performance biking scene. With its official launch just around the corner, the motorcycle community is buzzing with excitement to see what Bajaj has engineered in its latest iteration of the iconic Pulsar series.
